🇳🇱 Joost Klein - Europapa REACTION | Netherlands Eurovision 2024 

I think it's also meant as respectful to Stromae, another authentic European soul and musician

Dank, ik wist dat niet.

@@Zootsings And the song Papaoutai is also about Stomae growing up without his father, and missing him. I thought he died during the war in Rwanda( if I renember correctly), so the reference is not only very clever but also very real, deep and emotional. The lyrics of this song has so many layers. It's briljant! I speak Dutch and I listened to the song a couple of times and everytime I discovered new things in the lyrics. So I do hope they'll find a way to translate this on stage for the viewers( most of them) that don't speak Dutch.

Echtwaar???? Goh

Exactly!

DAAROM THUNDERDOME IS 1 VAN DE GROOTSTE FESTIVALS VAN NEDERLAND EN IS EEN GROOT STUK VAN NEDERLAND EN DAN MAG HET MET ZO EEN GEWELDIG NUMMER NAAR EUROVISIE

This ! Who would have thought, back in the 90;s we would have dancing Gabbers at Eurovision song festival hahaha . The haters said it wouldnt last. in a few years its over. This isnt music ! and what not. Now you see DJ Paul in Eurovision song festival Video clip. LOL> we have come a long way.

Love you Roly, from the Netherlands! ❤

Exactly ❤

There should be borders

Rotterdam = techno Rotterdam = rave

The Scots have lend it from the Netherlands. Gabba it’s called there. It’s actually quite a big scene. But 100% had the roots in The Netherlands!

@@ThomDeWit I had no idea it would expand beyond the Netherlands, now I understand why this guy mentioned it was Scottish lol

legend

Love it, your synergy with Joost is off the charts

Perfect! I am almost certain this song will win, and more importantly, it's precisely the thing we all need at this tumultuous times. This was my analysis posted at the original entry ❤ This song can be interpreted on so many levels, it's pure brilliance. -On a personal level regarding the performer's background, him missing his parents and taking their lessons to heart. And making them proud by making his Eurovision dream happen ❤ -just like a party and the value of comradery, having fun and taking things not too seriously -poverty, transience and the struggle to maintain healthy. -mental health issues, he talks about running from himself and feeling alone and not feeling better even with the help of people (professionals?) he pays. Also got a vibe about this referencing immigrants and refugees and how we should be more compassionate. -and on a broader level about the pointlesness of polarisation, toxic politics&bureaucracy, paranoia, discrimination, agression and hostility we see in Europa and the world at the moment (and the last few years building up) when people have different opinions or think they have the right to take things from someone else no matter the consequences 😢 You know, all the things we are sick of as a collective. -and I'm sure there are even more levels to this I didn't even picked up on yet!

🤡

You guys did a wonderful job. Good luck in Malmö!

Ty Belgium❤

Ty belgium❤❤ we appreciate you

thank you belgium for making our beers. they're the best 💙💙💙 We're all europapa

Dankje man! Merci homme!

Thank you Belgium now gives us some points this year :P

Pleasss... C'mon‼️

its already doing so omg 5 million views on the ESC channel within 48 hours???

Now 10 Million plus!

He'll have the whole audience crying by the end, just like Lowlands 🥺❤️.

The ending had me almost crying, But it's not only the ending that makes it a masterpiece., All the lyrics in this song are briliant, the way he plays with the words and the many layers. If you only hear the music you might think it's a wel made Joke entry, but when you listen to the lyrics a couple of times you discover more and more. So I do hope they'll find a way to translate his fine paece of poetry on stage, so the viewers of Eurovision get at least a part of the message.

*hug*

@@KidHenkie ❤️

Me too❤❤❤

So does he get the sympathy vote in a good way?

@@blee1997 also the dutch language, and the happy hardcore in the song makes it a good song to represent our country. Its the whole story and the song! The happy hardcore brings a lot of good memory back from the 90s. When i was a child. Love him for this!

Happy hardcore 😁❤!

DANK U!

Came to type this as well :) Their review was spot on

Scotisch gabba...never of that one 😂

It's great news!

...and keep him there !

@@steffvalmont6828 😛

We are ready. Let's do this!

Ha ha. For me gabba is the most dutch thing since stroopwafel! I also thought of ‘No limits’ right away!

It's gabber (dutch for friend, but also an entire subculture that was insanely popular in the 90''s) two unlimited? More like DJ Paul Elstak, who practicly ruled the Netherlands gabber scene in the 90's.

Exactly! Happy to see some one got the same reference. That hitvwas very popular in the 90s in The Netherlands. There are many layers to this song.

Thank you for your comment! It is definitely cool to see a new side. I would never have encountered this.

It's within a supportive group of equals, that your unique qualities can shine!

inderdaad ... en wie zijn zij in EU ???

@@youteacher78 indeed... equals , rest my case

Ja ik vind het wel mooi, het is heel erg van "wij zijn Nederland maar ook Europees"

Thank you so much for this teaching moment! I will learn and do better! 😍🥰😍🥰

Just tell them to pronounce it as Yoast, much easier 😅

@@oscarfernald9402 Why didn't I think of that! hahaha, Yoast as in Toast. Genius!

lol omg every comment hahaha. SO you're definitely right he is doing the Dutch gabber. But this sound is also popular in Scotland. For instance, the "bouncy techno" wikipedia states: "The sound became prominent in the northern United Kingdom rave scene before it broke into the hardcore homeland of the Netherlands through Dutch DJ and music producer Paul Elstak..."

​@@Wiwibloggs It's DJ Paul Elstak actually in this clip!! It's the dude in the car at the techno bit

@@Wiwibloggs Well then the Scots know who to vote for this year!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Do you remember the Netherlands 2014? We were 24th at the bookmakers and eventually became 2nd in the grand final. At the televotes he’s going to do it AMAZING, I’m sure 🕺🎉

At this moment already more than 4 million views one day later 🤩 I think it really has winner potential

We love the love! 😍

I hope not !

@@steffvalmont6828 prepare yourself 🙏🏻

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Joost is very touching 🥹❤️

Edit: few hours later: 4,5 million ❤

so emotional! i was not ready!
