00:00Greetings everyone and welcome to my channel. It is time for another Eurovision 2026 reaction and this time I'm gonna be reacting to Ukraine's entry and Ukraine will be represented by Leleka and a song called Rydnim.
00:13So we could have a potentially interesting situation if Lelek from Croatia wins their national final. We could have Leleki from Croatia and Leleka from Ukraine and that would be fun.
00:24I don't know much about the song. I haven't heard even the slightest snippet of it. So not much to talk about except that I'm ready to listen to it. Ukraine always sends good stuff.
00:34So let's see the choice this year. Is the streak gonna continue of great songs? Without any further ado, we're all set here. We can go and listen to the song and then we're gonna talk about it. That's the drill.
00:47So Leleka, Rydnim, this is a national final performance. Let's go.
00:54Leleka, Rydnim, this is a national final performance. Let's go.
01:04Okay.
01:09Give me a bit of Shenandoah Connor vibes at the beginning. And also the music is a bit nostalgic, love from the 80s. That's a good thing.
01:24Beautiful voice. Ooh.
01:35Okay.
01:36Okay.
01:55Whoa.
01:55Damn, beautiful voice.
02:03Damn, beautiful voice.
02:23What now?
02:24I was enjoying this fairy tale and what's happening now. It's awesome.
02:54Oh
02:58Goosebumps what what oh my god
03:10Oh, this is beautiful aspect ratio changing. Oh my god
03:24Oh, this was so good
03:54All right, I really rarely do this wait wait wait wait, but I have to bring this part back. It was somewhere here. I would say
04:02Yeah
04:05I have to hear this again before we talk
04:17Oh my god
04:24Oh
04:29My god
04:34Oh my god
04:38Okay, let's care again till the end
04:54Oh
05:09Ukraine does it again. You guys did it again. Oh my god this song
05:14This is the first song I'm listening to this year
05:18That is giving me winner vibes honestly
05:21Oh my god
05:24This could win easily. I mean, I I don't believe in Eurovision as a competition anymore, but this this will do well with the public and with the juries 100%
05:35This is incredible
05:37It started off really softly
05:40I said that she kind of gave me Shannon o'connor vibes maybe in the first 15 seconds of the song and it started with this kind of 80s
05:48Pop ballad sound like expected something that's gonna go into different direction
05:52Then it went into completely different directions that weird electronic section that which was kind of
05:58Oh
06:00I don't know
06:00I don't know
06:01Oh my god, this was so good. Um, but yeah, the highlight is definitely that build up
06:09And when the aspect ratio is also changing for the performance and we go from handheld camera to
06:14to to to actually like modern production and I just thought also the camera work in the beginning of the song
06:20It was so cool
06:23Very simplistic performers. She's alone on the stage. There's this leds with the
06:28I want to say dandelion. I think is the flower and
06:32I think it's the flower and then
06:35Very simplistic yet. So effective with the camera work and with her voice and her stage presence. It's so good
06:40I'm lost for words honestly, but yeah, this is this is the first one that's giving me strong winner vibes
06:45Regardless of the state that Eurovision is in right now as competition. So
06:50I honestly cannot wait to watch
06:53Cannot wait to watch this
06:55Performance on the Eurovision stage and I hope that there is gonna be crowd
07:01Because I can only imagine how wild the crowd is gonna go during that build up part is gonna be insane
07:06I'm getting goosebumps only thinking about it
07:08I will watch it as a as a video later as i'm not watching Eurovision this year, but uh
07:13But yeah, i'm really looking forward to see this performance on
07:17On big Eurovision stage. I mean concept wise. I think it's ready. It's beautiful
07:21Very simple yet effective. So yeah, sometimes less is more and uh, here is definitely the case
07:26It's beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful and um, yeah, that's all I have to say
