Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel! If you’re new here, my name’s Rachel and I’m a huge Eurovision fan as well as a musician.
In today’s video, I reacted to Lithuania’s song for Eurovision 2024, ‘Luktelk’ by Silvester Belt.
There was a genuinely soft approach to the songwriting in this one, and I liked the way the vocal blended very effortlessly with the backing track. However, it was missing a memorable, standout moment for me. The middle section instrument was great though!

This song is catchy as hell. I have high hopes for this, it could be Lithuania’s best result in Eurovision.

@P2gyorg 5 месяцев назад

This is top of my rankings ❤🇱🇹 I highly recommend the Eurovizija national final performance as it’s more polished (this is the winner’s performance at the end of the show)

@IanSowers 5 месяцев назад

It's true that the national final performance was better. This was more of celebration, especially toward the end

@witod 5 месяцев назад

The performance you watched could have been from the super final or after the victory was announced. Silvester was a huge fan favorite and at this performance people just stood up, clapped and sang along with him. It was the atmosphere of the moment. I would probably do the same if I were there, because Luktelkt is my favorite next to Ulveham. I like the contrasts in this song: his delicate voice combined with the beat, the modern sound and a note of nostalgia in the melody, and the Lithuanian language itself, for my Polish ear, combines hardness and softness in an extremely beautiful way. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him. Greetings from Poland and Hungary :)

@IanSowers 5 месяцев назад

This was after the victory, so more of a celebration than a careful, polished performance. Still quite good, although it gets a bit loose toward the end

@gameoverb_tch 5 месяцев назад

i'm not the only one to love both ulveham and luktelk 😭 they're my top 2 and i can't stop switching them

@autumnvelkoz4523 5 месяцев назад

i love that lithuania is sending different stuff each year in the recent years and not even basic stuff, and yet they qualify every year since 2021. i do prefer both monikas, but this is a great song

@gabrielgreenwoodschannel 5 месяцев назад

Silvester is capturing the Troye Sivan zeitgeist. He’s proving that just because it’s not loud doesn’t mean it’s not effective.

@Kernel15 5 месяцев назад

For real, I was comparing it to Troye Sivan before I even knew Troye was one of his inspirations

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely!

@s1ddh4r7h.p 5 месяцев назад

Literally the only song this year that i can fully get behind - performance, camera cuts, crisp vocals - everything.

This video is the winner's reprise, because LRT for some reason decides to send those to the Eurovision channel year in and year out now.

I wrote this before I listened to Greek song :D And now I have two favourite ones! 💖

@TheManInBlueFlames 5 месяцев назад

Very cool and slick! Definitely a top five contender! One of the best songs this year (alongside Estonia AND Croatia - oh boy have you got your work cut out!). The Baltics this year seem to be on fire! I think the audience were clapping and singing because this is the winner's performance?

@baidykle1 5 месяцев назад

That's right! It's the winner's performance + he's already built quite a following in Lithuania. I got a feeling while watching the whole show that there were a lot of people who love his music in the audience. 🙂

@LucaGarzeli 5 месяцев назад

I skipped the song in Spotify two times. Afterwards, I noticed that was the entry for Lithuania 😂lol your great musical analysis is always a help to understand the songs. I will listen the song more times and see what happen. I liked all the Lithuania's entries for the past 5 years :/

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Thank you 😊

@Doivid297 5 месяцев назад

Big step up from last year, but then I love almost all forms of electro. He's among the big favourites, would you believe?

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

I can’t believe this can be a big favourite next to Norway and Italy, to me this isn’t as good

@Doivid297 5 месяцев назад

@@ThePeaceAround I prefer it to Italy just a tad (although both in my top 6), but yeah, I can't see Lithuania winning overall. There's always the one favourite that you kind of aren't sure why it's there.

@MarlonTorres-ce9wu 5 месяцев назад

I didn't like it when it was released but it grew a lot... Now I just love it, in my top 5 so far.

@Halliinnchuks 5 месяцев назад

I didn't really get it in the beginning. I couldn't vibe with it. But it really grows on me. Grows so much that it's in my top 10 now :D

❤I love you. I love this song.

@ThaGamingMisfit 5 месяцев назад

The more I listen to this one the more I like it ! First I thought, this is some cheap 90's beat technology, but it changed for me, the minimalism is intentional I think and is pretty nice to the ears. My current number 4. I hope they do work on the other dancer's costumes though, those feel real cheap, but I love the strobe part a lot !

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

The minimalism of this is really cool, completely agree!

@daivaramoniene738 5 месяцев назад

Lithuania the best❤❤❤❤❤❤

@ne2rnaz 5 месяцев назад

People were clapping because this was performance after he was announced as a winner and people were just partying with him.

@danscull88 5 месяцев назад

@edo888LT 5 месяцев назад

9/10 for the song, 7/10 for the reaction

Haha I’m not sure whether to be flattered or offended because 7 is pretty solid to be fair 😂

@flopjul3022 5 месяцев назад

this is the winners performance iirc

@sarahenchanted 5 месяцев назад

When I first heard it I didn't think much of it (this was during the first heat of that nf and it was being hyped up). Then I gave it another chance it grew on me and is now probably gonna stay in my top 10 this year. I think it's one of those songs you either don't care for at first and it grows on you or you're captivated right away. The clapping out of time can be annoying but I'm glad Lithuanians are behind this song at least 😂

@ThaGamingMisfit 5 месяцев назад

I had the same feeling, first I was like, they used like every 90's dance sample and called it done, but it grow on me and I'm quite sure the sound is minimalistic on purpose.

@ESCVerso 5 месяцев назад

I love this one. It's extremely atmospheric--there's almost something mystical about it. I hope they bring that lightshow to Malmö. The only thing is that when M&M inevitably win Melodifestivalen, they're going to be bringing a very similar sort of performance. Or at least similar enough that it might get people asking themselves if they can really support two club bangers in one final, even if the energy is completely different.

@GossipGirl770 5 месяцев назад

I don’t understand why would they put up the winners performance to the official eurovision chanel rather than the actual performance in the final…the winners performance is always less serious and therefore you get all the clapping and it’s not as polished as the actual performance of the night

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Yeah agreed, I saw the other performance and it was easier to listen to

@ristoravela652 5 месяцев назад

I love how this is going down very well with Eurovision audiences despite not sounding like a Eurovision song. (It's not dramatic or bombastic.)

@thenorbert9581 5 месяцев назад

That’s winning performance, check the “normal” performance

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

I did, was much easier to listen too for sure

You must listen “la rondine” by Angelina mango. She sing her father’s song in Sanremo cover night. It’s really wonderfull

@mantasgailiusful 4 месяца назад

Quite realistic and precise comment. The song is not perfect but cachy, as the life is. I think it could jump to TOP 5

@ReeceChambers99 5 месяцев назад

I don't love this nearly as much as many others. I can see it doing well at the contest though and I don't think a great deal needs to change with the staging.

@citizensallianceofaustrali697 5 месяцев назад

The song is Eurovision all night but unless they do something on stage they will be lost in the crowd and with Lithuania not among the countries who usually dominate blocks, they will need to up the stage presence. They have the voice and the composition but they need more of a show.

@helidon583 5 месяцев назад

I almost liked the artistic, cool vibe of Luktelk when I heard this for the first time, a bit similar artistic vibe to Serbia's Luke Black and his 'Samo mi se spava' last year. Now that I have listened to Luktelk a few times, its original strength, the cool vibe, is just simply deflating to the point where it's annoying; I feel the same thing about the nostalgic melody. Luktelk is really popular among the fandom, but maybe I am not in its target group. All the best to Silvester in Malmö, though, I think he will do well there.

@Ecd4life23 5 месяцев назад

Forgive me if this is taken the wrong way but did you say you have ADHD when commenting on claps at the start of song? He is the writer or co writer of the song is Silvester and he has a university degree in music which he got in London and where he will be for pre eurovision party.

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Yes I did - I do have ADHD haha, I think most musicians do (I’m diagnosed anyway) 😂 it’s what makes us good at listening to and playing music, spotting the intricacies because they’re so distracting 😅

@GerkVandeni 5 месяцев назад

@georgehand 5 месяцев назад

The chorus is very repetitive and I agree with you about the clapping and I fear we’ll be hearing it in Malmo!!! 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹

@Worldsportstalk24 5 месяцев назад

I like this song quite a bit but I don’t know if it has widespread appeal to do much better than lower top-10

@edvinasklemas0734 5 месяцев назад

Luktelk,Italy and Ukraie the best

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

I don’t see this pushing for the win

@yasirali-nz2jl 5 месяцев назад

How is it not catchy and memorable? Luktelk luktelk is your hook..listen again please. Luktelk means wait a minute Your melody is rytoj rytoj part... meaning "tomorrow I promise you I will love u" It will get stuck in your head. Listen to it without getting caught in the edm part :) but really good review overall

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Cheers :) I think it’s is catchy and memorable but only a little bit - in a way it’s not pastiche and trying to be overly catchy, but I do feel like it’s more of an arty performance

@freemangriffin4953 5 месяцев назад

The beat is just too insistent. I like him but the song is only o.k. I give this one a 6.5.

@adamtideman4953 5 месяцев назад

The Baltics are strong this year however this is my least favorite of the three and I was surprised to see how popular this was in the fandom. I'm not the target audience for this.

@hippopotamusbosch 5 месяцев назад

Can you clap on the ones and threes on purpose? Try it; it’s horrifying.

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

@orihusky7099 5 месяцев назад

this video has so bad microphone.... sometimes you were so loud and it was annoying and hurting >.

@ThePeaceAround 5 месяцев назад

Sorry :( I think sometimes post-production the video goes up in volume, so I try to edit it at a lower volume to compensate for this. Hopefully in future videos there won’t be this issue
