Reaction: Lea Sirk, Slovenia (ESC 2018) 

English translation My name is Lea and I have a new look for you. Lots of laughter and freedom, like some virtual trick, It’s a step towards victory, a step towards light, a step toward perfection. I am fighting with smile to the sun, I am fighting for the people. The path to the truth blinds me. The first love comes to fool you, But I take what sets the body free. CHORUS Don’t believe everything they offer you. Think loud and have hope. The secret is in this that you dont sell yourself to everyone. Because that is oldfashioned (or passè in french) Thanks, but no…. (hvala, ne)… Million people already said, that there’s too many people living. The ones that are miserable, the ones without light. It’s a smile for happines, a smile for these people, for the ones full of fear, wooh! I don’t give my soul to no one, I keep it for myself, the real art, without speaking. Every answer is within me, i find it when i fall asleep, when my body is relaxed and open to everything. CHORUS Don’t believe everything they offer you. Think loud and have hope. The secret is in this that you dont sell yourself to everyone. Because that is oldfashioned (or passè in french) Thanks, but no…. (hvala, ne)… I’m a marionette to those hiding behind masks all the same, all perfect, but unhappy - thanks, but no, no, no, no, no. CHORUS Don’t believe everything they offer you. Think loud and have hope. The secret is in this that you dont sell yourself to everyone. Because that is oldfashioned (or passè in french) Thanks, but no…. (hvala, ne)…

I actually really like this song, I don’t think it will qualify but I hope it does. She said she didn’t expect much and was happy to even perform for her country so I’ll be happy for her whatever happens.

Vote for Slovenia this year 🇸🇮🤙🤙

I really like this and this is very good, go girl!! Slovenia to finals.

This is a serious bop

Love, love this entry... hope to see it in the finals!!!

Coming back to this iconic reaction 😂 even the outfit is iconic

I can't wait to vote for this when it qualifies! Great reaction btw!

I love this song!!!

And yet it qualified... voted for this many times last Thursday!!! So in love with this tune and singer!

Same, I loved it a lot! But it's likely she'll be underrated somehow. I do think she will qualify though.

I live in Slovenia 💖and now i tell you that: lepo je, da ti je ta pesem všeč. Slovenija je zelo majhna država vendar od vseh si si izbrala nas. Rada te imam💖💖

We have to fight for LEA: A big wow for HER and her total package: The Good: It´s different and standing out. It´s not cheesy or being killed by too much syrup. Overall lyrics and message: She knows what she is standing and fighting for founded in a strong belief. On top: Great attitude and personality. It´s edgy, bit nasty. The song. Un-eurovision melody with great beats with 80s 90s rhythm inside. Challenge: Lea, please learn from Poli Genova. She was edgy - even she had the same haircut. She did a great thing in 2016 not 2011: Smiling without losing edgy-ness. People did like her. And voted for her. And please stay with the slovenian language. I think, this year lots of people will appreciate this. Luv it.

One of my favorites so far for sure! Polished and professional staging and awesome effects. And what I really like is that this kind of song is usually sung by vocalists who aren’t the best, but she sings it so well too. Straight attitude! Worried because she’s in semi 2, likely to be the bloodbath semi this year just based on countries in it. I have faith though!

I was so afraid to watch Slovenias NF this year after what happened last year but they surprised me this year. I loooove the song, performance, choreography ...and she can sing!!!! She's not doing much but she is moving with the dancers and remaining on key! I feel the same way about the way Eurovision fans will react. Don't think they'll appreciate it but oh well, I think Slovenia can finally be proud again at Eurovision.

I think this has a chance of qualifying. I reckon it will attract the more casual Eurovision viewer, who will like it because it is different and not a standard Eurovision song, to actually pick up their phone and vote and it's musically strong enough to pick up points from juries. Thats certainly what im hoping for anyway because I love the track and performance. Im gutted the UK isnt voting in Slovenia's semi.

I love this one so much, the song is so cool and fun, but also Lea is such a professional she doesn't miss a beat on her choreography and she hits every camera angle with perfect timing which makes the whole performance a lot better 10/10. Sadly though I do agree that I don't think it will qualify because the general Eurovision voter won't like it. However it is in the second half and Eurovision like to close shows with up beat songs so this could go last and sneak through

I’m sLOVEnian and song Hvala, ne meen Thank you, no. Lea is very nice person. She is also fuul of energy. Also her song Hvala, ne.

My favorite Slovenia 12 points

I looooved that song in 2018 and still today ❤️❤️

Not only have I downloaded the song, I have it on constant replay. I love it! She deserves not only to qualify but place in the top 10-15. It’s that good!!!

It's my favourite song ritght now. I loved your reaction!! I reacted the same way. I would love Slovenia to qualify. Figers crossed!

It is great and finally something different on Eurovision. She deserves to qualify. 👍Great performance, great staging and super great voice. She is very beautiful. I love her.

I really hope she qualifies, she has one of the best songs selected!!! She's my #1 right now, and I really think she has a chance of qualifying and doing well.

I love this, it will def stay in my top 3 regardless of the upcoming songs. I'm into rap and this song is somewhere on the merge of that and pop. The song itself feels like a huge f you to the haters (it's tittle is No Thanks). I guess you have to understand the language to appreciate this kind of songs. That's no problem for me since my mother tongue is croatian. I don't really care if it qualifies or not. The song is out there, it's good, it makes a statement, and most importantly, it's here for me, available to enjoy it anytime I desire.

We qualified!!! We are so excited for todays finals! Go, go, go Slovenia!

I'm from Slovenia😙Ohooooooooo Slovenia(Lea Sirk is my aunt)

I am actually from slovenia and i think that her song was one of the best choosen songs for evrovision so far!

Out of the pot 1 countries in semi final 2, this is the most interesting.

You need to see the video of Lea impersonating Salvador Sobral.

This is DOPE, not made for Eurovision, but it'll go down in Eurovision history for being so unique

For me it's numer 1 so far (1/21 acts). That's sooooooooo good

This is my favourite

I love that you are really into the song and then you are like hmm it will not qualify 😂 Great reaction video! Hvala Ne is here on repeat!

It qualified!!!!

I'm loving Lea's song and performance, but I think the juries (especially the ones in Western Europe for some reason)will underrate this, so I'll try to keep my expectations of her making it to the final quite low. By the way, I wish your friend (the one in your videos last year)reacted to the Eurovision and Melfest entries this year too. He's super lovely, and fun.

Well thank you for that reaction. I am slovenian and I like your reaction cause you like it even you do not understand the lyrics.

Wow. Thanks for liking our song. I'm so happy that we qualified. And believe me a lot os Slovenian don't like this song because they didn't listen what the song means but what it sounds like.

She is so sassy. This song/performance is a pleasure and I don't even feel guilty about it.

Love this song❤️

Vote for Slovenia, this song kicks ass

Great reaction! Thank you!

hello, my name is Lara and I from Slovenia . Thank you for video ( Reaction: Lea Sirk, Slovenia (ESC 2018) . Love ya

Definitely a qualifier

I am so happy you were wrong. She DID qualify. People are going craaaaayzy in S♥nia :P That like a victory for us. :)

I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE

I hope this qualifies - I think the rules are being rewritten. Everyone was worried over Aminata and even Loic qualifying.

The chorus is saying Thank you, but no no! Also think it will have problems qualifying, but love the song!!!

I hope the european voters get into this.This song is awsome.Good Luck Slovenia!

She qualified!!

i love this welcome baka in the final Slovenia

Alesia, you are very funny. Thanks for your videos from Spain.

Kiss from Slovenia

Good luck Slovenia😊❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘

This song is so underrated by the fandom just because it's not your typical pop song with a big explosive chorus

i think hvala ne is a real good and different song in ESC

I love this song

She qualified! :D

The name of the song is: No thanx! And the song is about that one should not fall for everything what's offered.

Right amount of sassiness!

I think if Slovenia were in semi 1, then it would definitely qualify; but since it's in semi 2, it's a huge question mark. I'd say for now that it's maybe a borderline qualifier.

I like this song :D One of many good songs not in english! Hope the public votes for this!

super!!! it's top🔥🔥🔥👊

Im from slovenia and i love this song

The first Bounce song in Eurovision, ever. How it does well and qualify!!!

Pues yo quiero que este en la final me ENCANTA y no entiendo a los eurofans si es un temazo

will you react to germany's entry or give us your opinion on the song please? would love to hear your thoughts :)

Hi from Slovenia 💙

"i don't know what you're talking about girl but i'm groovin'" .. great comment.

I’m Solvenian🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮

Lowkey my eurovision jam gurl ♡

We definitely need more Eurovision fans in the US. I would love if the US was invited like Australia. I’m not so into the idea of a Eurovision between the different states because it doesn’t give the same vibe.

her song is titled Hvala, ne (no, thank you).

Here's a rough (non-official) translation of the lyrics to English for anyone interested what she’s singing about. Enjoy! My name is Lea and I have a new character for you a character representing a smile and freedom like a virtual trick A step to victory a step to the light to perfection (perfection) I fight with a smile reaching the sun I fight for the people the path towards the truth blinds me first love comes to deceive you But I take what sets the body free [PRE-CHORUS] Don't believe in everything which is offered to you Think out loud and hope that the secret lies in not selling yourself out, that's completely passé Thank you, no, no. [CHORUS] Thanks but no Thanks no, no Thanks, thanks, no A million people have said that there’s too many of us who are unhappy and devoid of light a smile for happiness a smile for the people for those full of worries I won’t give my soul to anyone I’ll keep it for myself true art without, without a price There’s every answer within me I find it when I fall asleep when the body is relaxed, surrendered to everything [PRE-CHORUS + CHORUS] A puppet for people hiding behind masks all the same - perfect, but unhappy Thank you, no, no, no

No ja sej smo najboljsi-so,ya we are the best

Will you react on Serbian entry, Sanja Ilic and Balkanika-New Children? Ps We love your videos sooo soo much! Kisses from Serbia! 😘

This ones a bop!

And it did qualify!!!! :) please react to the ESC performance, too!!

I just love your reactions,cant stop watching hahaha.. our Slovenian Lea has great vocal and song.. only maybe there is a bit much of that "trance" :) music in between singing..

And Lea qualified just to prove you wrong

Like from sLOVEnija glad u like our song (=

Did you now the third dancer fall at 2:45

Sloarmy❤

Hvala means thank you and ne means no

Im from sloveniaaaa❤ and when lea say HVALA NE! Si say no thanks❤😂 she is my idol😍 can u make a reactions for BQL?❤ on the song Promise😍 i love lea sirk and BQL😍😍 thanks no😂❤

she is talkin about ...no thank you...that is live verry cool

I need the Hungary reaction! It's probably going to be a great reaction.

Lea can really performe live. She sounds perfectly. I am not sure about the others. Not typical song, but I hope that she quafifies. New sound is only welcome at the Eurovision.

The name of the song is HVALA NE , that means THANK YOU NO in English language.

I think Lea go to final round and she talking (hvala ne ne mean thanks no no) songs saying tat you cant be like others you have to be yourself.

I’m from Slovenia☺️ Do you like this song?

I am from Slovenia!

Ne verjami u vse kar ponujeno ti je #slosqad 💪💪

I love how you said hana-ne when it's hvala ne (thanks, no) 😂😂 love you tho heheh

Hvala is thenks and Ne is no. So it mean: thanks but no. And i love the song❤️

She is saying "thanks, but NO" as a title of the song :) hi from Slovenia :)

This got into the final

they did qualify!... but yeah.. to nice for the finals.. got only place 22 of 26.. while many bad songs did lots better!.. just silly.. but its Eurovision right?... welcome to the silliness in a way. (and politics, don't forget that). from all songs this year.. I really liked the originality of Israel, and liked very much it won.. BUT my personal nr. 2 was Slovenia... much better choreography, camera moves and fx in tact with music.. etc... than 99% of the entire show all together!

I am from slovenia

Soooooooooo qualified! :D
