It's one of the best interview with Silvester, thank you! I love everything about him, how sweet, mature and charming he is, just a beautiful human being in every way. When I watch Silvester's performance I feel completely drawn in, even though Luktelk lyrics are sad, Silvester's smile and energy sparks light and joy in my heart. ♥

I completely agree. Silvester is amazing and he's such a cinnamon roll in the best way possible.

Dark Horse Alert! All his years of hard work are paying of. On stage he makes it seem so easy, but it's not: it's 100% Talent. Great interview, thanks.

Love him, such a talented and authentic young man, I think he has no idea about what he is doing for young queer people in his country ❤ His music reminds me in a way of Daði from my country 🇮🇸

Silvester is such a sympathetic, beauiful, talented guy. I hope he will win eurovision ( or be the runner-up behind Switzerland🥰) and hope to hear much more from him in the future. His cover of "Rush" just amazing. 😍

So cute!!!

[@verumita]

Amazing interview, thanks! In all the interviews, Silvester proves to be a wonderful person. I'd say his personality is just a cool combination (like his song Luktelk) of traits and qualities: warm, humble and sensitive, but also profound, intelligent and talented, and also a person with a great sense of humor. ❤

[@euroversepodcast]

Agreed! He was so thoughtful - truly a great guest. Thanks for listening! - Charlie

Good interview. He has been convinced by club music, rave parties and dance versions of songs he wrote. Below a link to a video from 2017 for a lithuanian TV program where Silvester covers a song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHzMdaSgYr17ZtE The name of the song is not given in the video. It was hard to find from France but I finally found it. It's called "Vasara 3016", by Saulius Prusaitis. It's a summer comic pop, not dance music. For its staging Silvester plays like in Luktelk with his head, hands, shoulders and even his eyes. He acts seriously and it becomes funny. That doesn't exist in the original version. Silvester's touch makes his cover very personal and even better. When I saw that I thought : he was 19 years old but it was obvious he had something. This 2017 staging is an archeological proof of his ability to catch attention as when he performs Luktlek. It's years of works, of attempts, with progressions, collaborations with others to refine his musical style. He really deserves his place in Eurovision.

Very true and nice comment!
