Aida Yuriyivna Nikolaychuk[1] (Ukrainian: Аіда Юріївна Ніколайчук; born 3 March 1982) is a Ukrainian pop singer and model, who was the winner of the third season of Ukraine's X-Factor TV talent competition in 2012.

She drew special attention during the show's second season when judges interrupted her performance of Polina Gagarina's Lullaby (Колыбельная, Kalybelnaya),[2][3] suspecting that she was lip-syncing to a recording, and asked her to sing a cappella. Although visibly surprised, Nikolaychuk sang the song equally well without accompaniment. In 2013, she released her first single, "On Your Planet", which was included in her debut album We're Under One Sky.[4]
