I hope that juries will appreciate his fine voice and way of singing. It's different from Eurovision standards: no high note, no shouting or so. He sings as if he was painting. Picture in a night club.

Have been obsessed with this song from the very beginning, my new #1. Probably my favourite Lithuanian entry ever. Can't wait to see it live in Malmo

[@bee0066]

The fact that he sings about being in a loop in life and then proceeding to make a song like a loop with "luktelk, luktelk" lyrics is so genius of Silvester and it makes the song so much more than it is at first glance. Genius song writing ngl

[@regimantasvasilius6326]

I glad you enjoyed the song ❤❤❤

[@juhajaara5525]

This year, Lithuania's National Final has been the best one thus far. I would have been happy with any of the songs representing Lithuania, save Aiste's. And some great songs were even left out of the final (like Martin's Jigsaw). Good job, Lithuania!

[@thisislaurine]

This is my number one right now and looking at the nf songs from selections that didn´t happen yet (Serbia, Portugal...) there´s nothing that could be higher than this in my ranking. I expect many internals to be strong, but I expect Lithuania to be my Eurovision winner. I also think this can do really well. The only concern I have: The chorus Luktelk Luktelk...Luktelk Luktelk - could this be too repetetive? For me it´s not, but it´s the only critique I could give

[@gowithzy]

[@rexation8952]

"Olly and Mustii had better be concerned." I have been saying that since this song hit #1 in Lithuania's Spotify charts. All male artists competing in Malmö had better be concerned over this one!! These known artists can't just put out any old sing they were hanging onto and say "Maybe I'll do this one for Eurovision one day when I'm known." No...not with the complete package that Silvester is bringing!!!

[@witod]

Europe is clearly telling us: we do not want former representatives to return to the ESC, even if they're great artists (The Roop, KAiiNO, Mahmood, Margaret Berger). I expect the same for Konstrakta and LET3. I respect that, Luktelk blew my mind from the first listen. I must also express my respect for our neighbors from Lithuania for their taste: having a song like Impossible (Shower) in the superfinal along with Silvester and The Roop and instead of Kaboom? Unbelievable! You showed class!

[@mariklicman7259]

Tell it to Loreen

[@witod]

I don't think I need to tell her that, she probably won't come back the third time ;) But seriously, I think this is exactly the 'Loreen effect'. I love her and I think she deserved to win last year, but this year at ESC the fans seem to be saying: OK, but we don't want these returns to become a trend.

[@lejafeja8444]

Shower was like a bomb for us in Lithuania, we felt in love immediately :)

[@UtamagUta]

NO. Point is - bring us a good song. Returnee or not. Roop aren't that big in Lithuania, Silvester is a newbie but his proteger, Jessica, dwarf the Roop in terms of popularity. Roop had no hype, even their fake "leaked" performance did not help. Nobody cares about returnees, we accept it as a given because music market is too small not to try advertise yourself for wider audience, expect Monika Linkyte returning in few years time, just like Ieva Zasimauskaitė is doing.

[@adamtideman4953]

@@witod It's not some sort of Loreen effect lol. Eurovision returnees in NFs is a common sight but if they don't show up with the best song in their selection they don't make it. All these artists you mentioned came back but didn't have the best song this time around and rightfully didnt win. That's not Europe sending a message that's just a reflection of how hard it is for any artist to win your NF twice.

Can’t help the fact that staging/lightening reminds me so much of Filip Balos “Novi plan drugi san” PZE 2023 - and i like it!

I love this song - but I seriously hope by the time they get to Malmö, they get rid of the seriously dark lighting... especially at the climax of the song. You can barely see what's happening, and the choreography is what brings to such a euphoric high. It's like they didn't want to see it!!

[@thebigtenfour]

Yeah, I love this song, but the staging in the final was seriously darker than in the studio for the semi-final, with worse camera angles. Silvester, who is a striking figure, and his dancers were all lost in the lighting, especially that fun kick move they do during the dance break. Hopefully they can use all the resources available to them in Malmo to get back to a more coherent staging.

Theres a day and theres another, Its seems like date just stopped already. Im going there, im going here, Then it gets dark (talking about nighttime) it starts again. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I promise ill be in love with you, tomorrow. Pleasant, pleasant, pleasant in really pleasant night you will find me. Am I still alive? Do you still remember me? Sun dosen’t rise, would you stay with me? Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Theres a night and theres another As usual im starting everything from beginning. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I promise ill be in love with you, tomorrow. Am I still alive? Do you still remember me? Sun dosen’t rise, would you stay with me? Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I promise ill be in love with you, tomorrow. Pleasant, pleasant, pleasant in really pleasant night you will find me. We are standing in silence near by turned radio, I dont want to dance I dont want to dance.. We are standing in silence near by turned radio, I dont want to dance I dont want to dance.. but I must to dance.. Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Hold on hold on for another minute hold on.. Just say if youll stay with me?

If the National selection only had a single-show final, Silvester wouldn't have won in the slightest. Luktelk has gained so much steam over the last month.

[@Atlasss97]

Ight so this one doesn't really do anything for me - like I can appreciate it for being a really decent entry, but I'm surprised just how popular it became both in Lithuania and the fandom. I can see it doing solid numbers like 7th - 13th. Interestingly, it's kinda giving me Greece 22 vibe, in that ik you loved it and thought it was winner potential, and I felt about it exactly how I feel about this.

[@kisutis]

Not my favourite, but it's ok for Eurovision:) something different and it's a good occasion for this guy to try the international stage.

[@ReginaWz]

This video showed up in my recommendations and I discovered this song and I’m absolutely obsessed 😍 I’ve listened to it 7 times already on Spotify in a row lmao. Does anyone know what language this is? Sounds like German but I could be wrong. Also, can anyone tell me what are Lithuania and Eurovision? I keep seeing those terms whenever I look this song up.

[@AlesiaMichelle]

The language is Lithuania

[@Sarunasis]

The word "luktelk" in Lithuanian means "wait" or "hold on" in English. It is an imperative form of the verb, used to ask someone to pause or wait for a moment.

[@samtisa]

"Luktelk" meaning "Wait a minute, please". :)

[@heppolo]

Musically "Luktelk" reminds me more of Croatia's 2021 "Tick Tock" chorus.

[@Snieguolė-g4r]

I like this song, I'm from Lithuania

[@rod_santos3371]

Lithuania has chosen yet another great track! It's not giving winner vibes, but it's definitely coming for that left side of the board once again, I would even dare to say it's a top 10 contender for now! Semifinal 1 is gonna be really tough indeed, but I think they're making it as well! If they manage to amplify the NF staging for Malmo, then this will be definitely a threat to Olly Alexander and Mustii!

[@joseuribe9273]

I hope this is a weak year and we can get Vilnius 2025!

[@DemisChr]

Okay tell us what’s your problem with Cyprus?

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Remember when Cyprus had one of the best songs at Eurovision 2022 and still didn't qualify. The semifinal is STACKED and Cyprus is first half. She has direct competition. I have faith they'll deliver but we're going to lose at least 2 solid entries in this semifinal. Please refrain from getting on the internet making assumptions.

[@anzelmasmatutis2500]

[@christossavvides3466]

You were also claiming that Cyprus wouldn’t qualify last year. It seems you have an issue with Cyprus dear

[@AlesiaMichelle]

I don't LOL. Not in the slightest. 1) I always get nervous about young performers and Silia is young. 2)Last year I thought Europe might want more of a party, but I wasn't surprised or upset Andrew advanced, the song was fine. It's impossible for someone to say there's any country I have an issue with. AND Cyprus... come on- they've been in my top 10 pretty consistently.

[@gianlucadefilippo8009]

This is good but I think it's far from being a potential winner!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Well, we are FAR from having all the songs so there's still space for some heavy hitters to HIT. But as of now, this is one of the stronger packages.

[@UtamagUta]

Let's not kid ourselves, this song is neither original or performance groundbreaking. Definitely not the ESC winner material. But it IS the best song and performance from the selectetion and local market more than appreciates it as it hasn't left the #1 spot since release. Great vibe, gets stuck in your head for hours. That is it about this one. Signed,- a person who burned several euros voting for this song.

[@Maria_muziekjes]

It’s okay, the staging looks good, the beat is catchy but the something special isn’t there…

[@boscabruscairgang]

Honestly, I don't get the hype of this song. The tone of his voice is very monotone and flat. He's almost talking rather than singing and that hook chorus luktelk luktelk luktelk, is repetitive and is annoying to me. I do like the beat of this song, however, I wouldn't put into my top 5, I might put into my top 10, however something else could come along and change that, or maybe not. What I'm thinking is, what would casual fans of Eurovision think of this song? Eurovision fans are hyping this song up, but would casual fans get that hype?

[@robirobi7300]

Bad song

[@arisantoniou]

How can you judge without listening to the song and without having watched the staging? It is obvious that you are prejudices against Cyprus

[@AlesiaMichelle]

I said I was concerned... Shes a young performer who hasn't been on a big stage like this AND that semifinal is going to be really difficult even for seasoned performers. AND we've got lots of young feamal performers who are going to deliver bops. I'm hopeful for everyone AND realistic about the challenges they'll all face- you should be too.

[@esccse30]

I am following every NF this year and my opinion is that this song is already totally overrated. There are a lot of better songs. Should we vote only for stagging? humm..If the staging was a bit less attractive the song would be less overrated. I understand the desire for the country to win,but this song is not winning. Simply as it is.

[@jelapenas5252]

So far, Ukraine and Norway only sound better than Lithuania to me.

[@christossavvides3466]

How on earth can you say that Cyprus could definitely be out??? You lose your credibility just by claiming such a thing for a song you haven’t heard and haven’t even seen the staging!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Clearly I don't mean deinfitely. I said it COULD (that's possible) because of the direct competition from other email performers in the semi. Everyone knows I want folks to do their best so we can have the most competitive Eurovision.

[@AlesiaMichelle]

AND. To be clear: the thing that would have me losing my credibility is saying that we will get the majority of songs qualifying from the first half of the semi when ALL the statistics prove how unlikely that is.

[@intajankovica2191]
