REACTION: Silvester Belt - 'Luktelk' | LITHUANIA Eurovision 2024 

Lithuanian here! Luktelk does have a direct translation, it means "hold up" or "wait a little bit". In the song he's asking his partner to just wait for him, because he'll "love them tomorrow".

I love that you guys basically invented yourselves Eurovision reviewers for this year and already became the most entertaining and best produced ones on RU-vid 😅.

I'm still waiting for Olympia to dress as Monika someday! You need to recreate her perfect bowl hair cut 🫶

Lithuania is sending very strong acts for last 5 years. Love The ROOP. Luktelk is my favorite so far this year. But artists I usually like tend to end up last 🤷‍♀️

I really like this song! It’s def in my top 5 so far! Loving the Eurovision reaction content!

Monika became the president of Europe and brought back lithuanian, what a queen

Monika Liu's Sentimentai was still amazing and thank you for referencing her at the start of the video!

12 points from 🇬🇧 i love ❤this song, amazing👍😍

This is in my top 5 this year. Catchy melody, well produced, great staging. Easy top 10.

Luktelk - translation ‘wait a bit’ ❤

I can concede it might not win but i stand firmly on the side of "this has mass appeal, it will do well". On the Luke Black comparison, that entry suffered a lot from a weak vocal and a not strong hook - i dont think theyre totally comparable

Love the commentary. As someone from the US who isn't as familiar with Eurovision as everyone else in the world, I appreciate the videos and I'm definitely getting into it now! Thanks for widening my world-view 💜

Maybe I need that slap back to reality, but I can at least dream that this could become Lithuania’s best result so far 😂

All these little extra videos are such a treat, I'm already getting pre-depressed thinking about when Eurovision is over and we're back to waiting for our once a week Sunday dose of Novympical escapism! 😢😢😂😂😂

the doors monika liu has opened!!!

It's SO much more accessible than Luke Black was 😂

the comparison with Luke Black seems a bit forced. there's little that unites the two- as others have said this is more approachable and better performed. I agree with your point overall that esc fans are being quite delusional this year and several fan faves will not do as well as thought, and I would also be surprised if this won, but I don't think there's any cause to already say it can't get top 10.

As an outsider from the US, I’ve only gotten into the fandom last year. I will say I LOVED Luke’s performance last year but his vocals were weaker and I think this year Luktelk will have more appeal to a wider audience. That being said, I still don’t think it will be top 10, but certainly not bottom 5. I just hope it will make the left side of the board

I hope you do this every year from now on!

Love what you said about how it can be your favorite and not win is so important. So many people don't seem to understand how these are two separate questions. But its easier to consider when Doomsday Blue is my favorite lol

The issue with all these hype songs is that Gen Zs never actually end up voting. But they'll SCREAM robbery!

I couldn't be prouder of my country's entry this year and I do really hope we can maybe top our best result this year. It's been so nice seeing all the praise from different countries and having even some conversations about possibly winning is awesome to hear as a Lithuanian myself but I don't think that will happen and that's ok. I don't really think our song is a eurovision winning type of song anyways

Now that's banter, I love it 😄💕

He sounds like a Baltic Troye Sivan which isn't a bad thing

We, lithuanians, are proud oh him

To be fair to Austria they came 2nd on their semi but going first in the finale is a death sentence

I adore this song, it’s my favourite this year, but I am also a little worried about the fandom potentially overhyping it and then becoming argumentative if it doesn’t score high. I think something the fanbase needs to remember is that you are allowed to like the songs that don’t score high! I think inevitably some of the popular songs this year are going to be left behind in the vote because so many of them are great.

LOVE LUKTELK. Love the song, love the staging, love the performance. With Nova on this one!

Guys, let's talk about the final result after grand final ;)

I think Luke Black was a bit too weird for general audiences and also the vocals just werent there

I love Luktelk, but I do see what you guys are saying. I also see some people say the song is repetitive. And it kinda is, but I think it might work in its favor. It might help the song get stuck in people’s heads. I do think Silvester needs a music video and radio play outside of Lithuania to build hype and capture people’s attention before Eurovision to get it to top 10.

It probably has even stronger appeal to those, who can understand the lyrics.. appertaining it’s very poetic and romantic. I do speak Lithuanian a bit and I’m amazed to see how much can be expressed in such few words, it’s so minimalist and tells very emotional story! Best of luck in malmo, I’d dance my shoes off to this!

Luktelk: it is wait a minit!

I'm following this one. The bass is epic.

This one really reminds me of Switzerland 2019 and that shocked me by coming 4th. I’m a fan of this so really hoping it can perform well too, and get the televote support it needs. You never know!

Lymp I LOVE ur top in this vid, where is it from? ❤❤

Today i heart this song Lujtelk in radio bbc uk and Radio 1 and i can say what place its takes but we already lising in playlist

My number 1! I get that this is not your favorite song or your type of music, but I would say look at Karja last year, I don't think there was any challenging vocal and they ended up being second. At this point we are all just speculating lol but one thing for sure is that Silvester is definitely going to throw a PARTY on the stage and that's what I'm here for!

Agree on it not being winning material (despite it being my favorite so far), but hard disagree on it being bottom 5. About the Luke Black comparison, I sorta see why that is (aesthetic-wise), but they're still very distinct. Luke's entry was a lot more conceptual and experimental, Silvester's is way more immediate and accesible. It would have a lot more appeal to jurors and audiences. Would it bring Lithuania's best result? Probably not. But it definitely won't flop hard.

My winner so far !!! this is such a big slay

Superrrr….. song❤❤❤

I didn't get this for a long time, but I'm completely sold now, and it's my new favorite. But yeah, in Eurovision it's not a top 10. I'll be happy if it gets to the final though 😅

so funny intro :D P.S. Rave is back!

I agree with your points entirely, whilst this is one of my favourites (and so was luke) people are just a bit delulu when it comes to their faves, I mean Echo was my favourite last year but I didnt expect it to make the top 15 (if it qualified). The only point I dont agree with is the possibility of this coming bottom 5, I think Lithuania's diaspora is so strong, especially if we compare it to 2023 where Solo and Stay both got alot of 10's and 12's. Great reactions as always dols x 😍😍😍

2:32 "Luktelk" means "Wait a bit", by the way :P My heart hurts - Olympia do not love this pepecry. I suppose this is so hyped because it's Lithuania, an underdog, sending something what fandom loves (like in 2020). Personally, I feel we should definitely do mid-table (like in 2022-2023). Regarding comparisons with Luke Black, I would disagree. I feel Silvester's song is much more accessible than Luke's song last year + we have diaspora and this is a song juries could go for, I feel.

The backing dancers for Kane is sending me

I do not hate this, it is entertaining and among the current lineup i do see it sticking out, thestaging is pretty solid already, i dont see it winning , but i do see it on the higher position in the right side of the board

I don't dislike the reaction. However, I love the song.

I miss Monica too, she is an icon. I like this song, " Luktelk" it is energetic, modern and not usual eurovision song

I'll be honest I still didn't quite Luke Black's performance. Though I very much accept that's more of a 'me' problem, I just didn't get on with it, I'm sure it's really rather good. I do hope this does well! Lithuania has really impressed me in recent years and I'd love a country that hasn't won before to do so. I don't think this will, but I hope it at least gets to a solid mid-table. Where Monika ended up (14th?) would be really decent.

omg i didnt realize Olly was going to rep UK thats awesome. I love Years and Years

While I agree with some of your points, I think saying that this will be in the bottom 5 is as outrageous and off as saying it will be top 5.

I was really happy that this was chosen as this was the only song I felt confident about this year. Not sure how it will do in Eurovision, but I do like it as it's catchy and well produced. The thing with our national selections is that we usually have about a good chunk of bad songs that have a very dated sound, some strange 'comedy numbers' or we have just complete snoozefests, so there's about 3 clear front-runners that we have to pick from lol. (I'm just glad we didn't send off KABOOM) Either way, will definitely root for a twink any time, so let's get this to top 10 💙

I love LT selections second place (Shower - Impossible). I would like to see your reaction to that one 😊

IMO this song is about a heartbreak, he wants his lover to stay a little longer and without him/her the days grow longer

I love this song but even I'm not that delusional when it comes to where it will most likely place after all the songs come in. While I think it's accessible and super catchy, it'll probably be more of a mid table result. Definitely not a winning song, though I also don't see this bottoming because there's already some bland and boring songs in the mix. This year is already shaping up to be a relatively strong year and I think the community tends to overhype a song when a song they like gets chosen by a country, and temporarily forgets what other songs are in the mix that it's competing against. Still, great choice for Lithuania, definitely a bop, a song with lasting power and in a category we have yet to fill in imo, so they definitely can be proud of what they're sending.

I think you're quite wrong about the placement on the scoreboard, but we'll see

Didn't hear this until after he'd won but I can see why people were hyping it. It's jumped straight to the top of my ranking. Nova is right, it's a gay song. You make a good point about 'winning' songs, I don't even think of that in my rankings, just what I personally enjoy.

I love this song. I love jou

Poland dropped their entry song not long ago ... Give us your opinion darlings... Love and kisses ❤

I have instantly fallen in love with this song and I listen to it everyday. I feel kind of sad because I thought, if this same track came from Sweden , of course with English lyrics, like the Sweds always do, it would be expected to finish top5 for sure. But now, coming from Lithuania we all think, it will steuggle to finish top10

the Winner!!!❤❤❤

Lithuania will be in top 3!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Just shy of the top 10 for me, I don’t mind it whilst listening, but I just find myself listening or thinking of the 12 songs that I’ve put above it more. I can definitely see this qualifying but if it does make it, i then see it ending up middle of the pack, with running order potentially having an impact.

Without being a crazy fan of this package and entry, (i just enjoy it but I'm never coming back to it and i was just happy that The Roop didn't win lol) i disagree with y'all in the way that i think that this can transcend the contest and become a hit... Sure, it has the language barrier but who cares at this point. To me it feels more rave-y and current than the comparisons you guys did... And i see this winning the televote and possibly the whole Contest 👀

this is probably the first video this whole series where I disagreed with you all the way through. This is nothing like Luke Black, and this definitely isn't coming bottom 5. Kinda feels like your low opinion of the song and it being popular in the fandom clouded your judgement here.

i am suprised that they know Monika Liu :O

I like it because it's uptempo and at the moment there are very few dance tracks that have been released. Bear in mind we only have 20 songs at the moment and looking a them there are some that follow the same rhythmic beat. I think it will be Top 10 because when you break the evening down you can bet we'll have some ballads to come and this will break the monotony if it follows a few slow songs in the running. It's very much a personal taste thing. My #1 right now is Luxembourg

You don’t know who will win every year people comment that nothing will do what Lithuania send and it always do ok so this song will defo be in top 10 because he is different

I'm firmly on the Luktelk hype train, and I do believe that with good press, it could score high, as it seem that queer artists don't get a lot of visibility from Lithuania, and "This Time" from 2015, to me, still seem like a fandom darling. So the state of Monika Liugend could try to pull a "we're not homophobic you guys!" win, in the vein of Lena, Conchita and Maneskin. But as you said, Dizzy will be the twink mirror, Zorra will be the queer mirror, La Noia will be the "change" mirror, and we'll see what will come as well... So I'm sure Lithuanian Troye Sivan will qualify, but in the Finale, he can end up everywhere :D

My pet peeve with Eurovision staging in recent years is when the peformer has their face plastered across the background screen as a motif. I think it really cheapens the performance. Could they not come up with something that actually represents the themes of the song or their country? Case in point, compare this to Gåte's display with features from the majestic Norwegian landscape. No one's mug is that interesting.

I do like this. I think this might just barely scrape it's way into the Top 10. I have it at 9th on my scoreboard app. I think it's a good song and I would be more than happy if it was played on a night out.

i don't think your point about a song requiring prior knowledge to understand and appreciate fully meaning that it has failed holds. Look at Serbia in 2022

Strongly disagree, this will be in the top 5.

Totally agree with the fandom echo chamber - that’s why I only listen to comments on the fandom filtered through yer girls!

It can definitely be top 10 though

I see this being really enjoyable in the club, and maybe a great experience live too. It gives me like, a moodier version of Rush by Troye Sivan.

I am that person but I'm not delusional enough to say that my faves are gonna win when realistically they're just not going to, it's enough for me that they get recognized for their music and that they grow as an artist with further success by letting those who like their music find them. I'm more concerned about having a good time and looking for artists who enjoy what they do and you can see really love their own music and is having fun on stage.

I really hope that the yk goes before this as he looks very similar to oli Alexander

Comparing Luktelk with Luce Black and whatever that song was IS SO BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS. And so far currently there are only like 3 songs worth of being top 5. Though I agree, what the little fandom thinks and what hundreds million people think is way different!

Yes aint nobody gonna be looking up the lyrics but also the majority of viewers dont speak fluent english and barely have any idea what the songs are about so this being in lithuanian makes no difference, only gets bonus points for being sung in NATIVE (not FOREIGN) language

The only lyrics that I cared to translate was zorra :D and it was totally worth it

Everything is Top 5 material these days if you look at social media comments. Except Germany of course. I love how catchy this song is, but it needs more than 90's basic dance music samples to stand out.

Kane! HA! I'm gonna second something someone else has said on a previous video, and that's my appreciation for Nova's opinions on the music and song breakdowns. Very cool and interesting. 💜 Olympia's honesty hehe. Twas not a fan of this tune.

Luktelk means - wait a little , like you are being told to do that

Monika!

yeah it's a euro bop.

Silvester will be at 5 pls.

you dont get it... You can interpretate that in so many diferent ways, it can be talk in romantic way, it can be an iternal conversation.. wait a bit(hold on for a moment) I ll dance and deal with the shit tomrw. I dont want to but I have to. (life LOL))

Molympia Liu

I love you girls, but this entry is definitely the best Lithuania has ever sent and he deserves lots of support

Labia?!

Troye Sivan vibesssss voice and face ✨

🇱🇹😍

Miss Monika ❤

I really like the vocals the energy and the staging. But in the stiff competition I agree will qualify... not top 10 tho

I love this, my third place after Ukraine and France

quite a funny reaction, but - yea - quite a professional one :) ok, guys, let's wait and watch :)) It'll be funny, if you were wrong :)) Let's Lithuania have fun and... win :D

I believe it might be outside of bottom 5 in the final(if it's 1st half in the running order, below top 10 in the 2nd)

Olly finally got some competition in the twink category this year! I actually think this song will have SO much more mass appeal, Luke Black had a song no one in their right mind would put on the radio and this one is a big radio hit in Lithuania with almost 1 million plays on Spotify already. My mum hated Serbia last year but downloaded Luktelk bc it's pleasing to listen to in the car. I don't think this is a great comparison tbh, while I also agree it's unlikely to be top 5 and will only be able to squeeze into top 10 with some effort.
