#luktelk

AND THAT!!!!

I AM GOING CRAZY OVER THIS!!!!

And I am crazy about Silvester's music too, so check it out!

Although it's in Lithuanian, but do not worry, I don't understand anything either! But his voice is so incredibly calming and the songs has such a cool rhythm always!

AND OMG I CAN'T GET OVER THAT HE NOT JUST SAW, BUT LIKED MY INSTAGRAM STORY!!!!

Also btw this was the story nothing more:

AND

im also planning on a luktelk hoodie too but idk if i wanna make itred because silvester was wearing red and from what i remember there was like a lot or at least some red in the performance or just make it pure blue like the cover..??

08. LITHUANIA Silvester Belt - "Luktelk" 14th place

Decade Ranking: 31/190

The clapping at the start. 😔😔 I miss audience interactions. We're back to that portion of the spreadsheet where I struggle capturing my affection for the song in words!! I dunno, sometimes the review is just that the song is a solid 8.5/10, and that should be obvious to anyone with ears. if 'Luktelk' isn't for you, I'd reconsider whether Eurovision is for you. 'Luktelk' was a very fun and competent banger, tailored for the Euroclub gays and the occasional stray introverts like myself that have been adopted by people with social ability. It's one of those songs that feels both polished and professional without coming across as anti-septic and soulless. A strong uptempo bop in the style of (and frankly, better than) Troye Sivan, by Nemo's token male friend.

It was never going to do anything surprising at Eurovision, though. As soon as we first heard it in Evrovizija.LT we knew it was going to likely win, then effortlessly sail through to the final and -due to being a song by Lithuania in Lithuanian- become a sacrificial lamb to the jury, as they STILL haven't received the memo Lithuania is a real Eurovision country now and their songs are really goddamn' good, at like... a consistent year-to-year basis.

Indeed, Silvester delivered merely the upscaled version of his NF staging, and that's enough to remain a fixture in my lower top ten. He sang, he banged, he bopped. Silvester delivered exactly what he should have, no more, no less, end of. I am making a point by showing the performance in the Grand Final, however. Normally I rank strictly on the bases of the best performance, but it really is worth underlining that the performance shown above is BY FAR Silvester's least fave live of the song, for obvious reasons. It is INSANE that he STILL nailed that under those circumstances, and that really shows his talent as a performer. Almost as insane as qualifying for the final and then feeling like you shouldn't have.

In conclusion: FUCK THE EBU! + Lo and behold YET ANOTHER YEAR where Lithuania is the strongest Baltic 😍 (continued in 2025 as Tavo Akys is indeed better than Bur Man Laimi, but the gap's smaller there). MOVIN' ON UP~
