Brit Reacts to Joost Klein - Europapa | Netherlands 🇳🇱 | Official Music Video | Eurovision 2024 

There are subtitles if you want to know the english lyrics :-) But the song is dedicated to his late father who taught him borders are man-made and that there are no real borders/boundaries in this world and that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Joost has always wanted to participate in Eurovision since he was young and he used to watch it together with his parents. His father sadly died of cancer when Joost was 12 and within a year he also lost his mother due to cardiac-arrest. The song has deeper layers and it's also about his pain about him being orphaned at such a young age and that he has had a hard time dealing with that pain. He felt alone and needed (professional) help to deal with it all and it's about him traveling Europe and although he can go anywhere he wants to, the pain of loosing his parents always travels with him. At the end he burns his picture of him and his parents and the house of memories in order to be able to move on in life.

This song is a banger what an amazing masterpiece. 12 points from France to Netherlands

This is definitely an Eurovision ANTHEM 🤩

Joost Klein is very known and popular in Netherlands his song Europapa is going viral everywhere and is actually number one in the Dutch charts and also in Europeans charts. 12 points from France to Netherlands

This masterpiece from The Netherlands, in a happy hardcore melody of the 90's, will win the Eurovision Songcontest 2024. A sad letter to his father who died when he was 12 year. A year later he discovered his mom on the chair, when she passed away due to a cardiac arrest. This song makes me happy, makes me dance, makes me jump, makes me hakken and makes me crie. All in one. I love it. All children in my town sing this the all day long. We can't get it out of our head. 🎉

The song has so much layers. Never judge a book by its cover.

DJ Paul Roger Elstak (= born in The Hague, 1966), his stage name is DJ Paul Elstak. He is a Dutch hardcore DJ, producer and label owner. He achieved national fame through his happy hardcore hits from 1995 and 1996.

The story behind Europapa and Joost Klein is quite a thing. It has two layers: the fun, the music, but in fact he's singing about his emotional journey: he was 9 (if i'm correct) when his dad died. He lost his mother a year later. His father told him the world belongs to everybody, so this tribute to Europe. He's singing about a quest with highs and lows and his struggle with that. At the end he's there, and ready to continue with his life. He says thanks to his dad for what he learnt from his dad and the song is dedicated to his parents. Joost topped last year the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with Frisenjung! I think he might win the popular vite, but the jury.....

The Netherlands 12 points🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 Thanks for your lovely reaction 👍

12 points to the Netherlands ❤

Netherlands alert winner ESC 2024

Netherlands can repeat their success of 2019 when they won Eurovision song contest with Duncan Laurence Arcade. I think Joost Klein Europapa could be the next Eurovision winner and succeed Loreen Tattoo. 12 points from France to Netherlands

Both his parents died very early in his life, later he got mental problems about it. He says: I have lost everything except time. He tried to say that he is alone despite being in several countries and put this message in a very light happy hardcore song with gabber house, very popular in 1990-1995.

this music is eurodance, was popular genre in the beginning of the 90ies and at the end of the 90ies. Inspired beats by 2Unlimited, Scooter, Happy Hardcore and thunderdome

Thank you for your lovely reaction Rollercoaster of emotions Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤❤❤

I hope the Netherlands send Joost again next year he deserves another change. I love Europapa that sense of unity the song brings is what we need in Europe. 💙💙💙

did you know the hardstyle/dance music with repetitive beat is actually a music genre found and made in the netherlands, its hardstyle and the dance they did is also dutch, its called hakken, it was found in the early 2000's

4:44 Man with the bold head is DJ Paul Elstak.

Thanks for your reaction 😃 12 punten voor Joost 👍🏻🇳🇱groeten🤗

he was disqualidified from the final due to making a threatening handsign towards someone who was filming him without permission

Although he was disqualified which was absurd, this song is the most streamed song of Eurovision, even entered in the American charts with the first song in Dutch language. now he's in Vancouver performing at a festival. Joost is e very nice polite funny and very creative person. He is independent artist and designed also his clothes. #justiceforjoost💙

Great reaction time for some fun in this strange world and that combinated with a deeper meaning in the end ❤

Don't care what he's singing about, all I need to know is that I will gladly join... EUROPAPA!!!

Joost Kleins parentes died when he was 13😢

Love your review ❤ .. Joost deserves to win

Love it❤. One of my personal favourites this year

Also look the live performance in Tilburg

I love the clever name of Europa-pa, as in Europe many countries call it Europa. Clever play on words. I love this song and it’s either my nr 1 or 2. depends on the live show and vocals.

I don,t know if my country win. But love seeing people that are loving the song. It,s great seeing people smile

Juiced Klein Whahahahhahha. It's funny how Joost is juiced so much lol.

Vote with 12 points for the Netherlands, Dwayne 🙏🔥🔥🍀

Now I know what pride feels like 🎉

He wrote the song for his dad, who died when he was a kid, his mom died as well when he was a kid. Papa means dad, its like a letter for his dad.

Dwayne: 5th Place Eurovision: Disqualified

His father died at the age of 12 and his mother one year later. It goes about together , stay together and no war his father told him that when he wass a kid. And he promised his dad to do the same.

i love ur energy man !! keep up the great work , ik u will hit 100k one day

"I am yes". I love when he said that.

His father died when he was 12 on cancer and one uear later his mother on a hart failure

this song is about his father who died when Joost was still a child and a year later his mother died! and with that song he wants to close the chapter and move on with his life, but still let his father know that he had always listened to him as a child!! and the title Europapa stands for Europe but also his father So it is actually a tribute to Europe, but also to his parents and especially his father

Nice reaction to a super song, thanks👍

7:07 Spot-on, Dwayne. This song has indeed two meanings. My compliments! Welkom in Europa, blijf hier tot ik doodga. Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa. Welcome to Europe, I stay here till I die. Europe-dad, Europe-dad. (Euro-daddy)

Hey Dwayne, just meet Joost, probably the next winner 2024 ❤❤❤🍀🎊

Euro-papapapapapapapapapapa

Please react to another song/poem from Joost. It’s called Florida 2009 (live at lowlands with English subtitles). Then you’ll know the sad story behind the song.

2025, Rotterdam again!

Europapa 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🙌

Joost klein 12 Points to Nederland 🇳🇱🔥🇳🇱

It is a hommage to Europe and to his parents. His father died when he was 12, his mother when he was 13. His dad told him that there are no borders and he has listened. I see the burning at the end as a symbol for the pain of this loss.

here someone from the netherlands his father died when he was 11 and this is kind of an note to his father

I still hate the ESC to disqualify him, he was my favourite !!! :(

the reason why it was so sad in the end was bc his dad died of cancer and mom of heart stop when he was 13

You can turn on English captions on the video, the translation is pretty accurate (Dutch myself)

💜💜💜💜 we LOVE YOU JOOST

I am dutch so i know what the lyrics are and i can confirm it hits harder than my abusive stepdad

The laste part of te clip is about his parents died en he is saying that we are all just humans and then he says that he had listened to his dad

The name for this kind of music and singing in the Netherlands is Hakkuh-bar. More on my channel.

Callum Wilson sat on the bench for Newcastle a lot so he decided to review Eurovision

Where was freaking quality made at?

He dropped from the 3th place by the bookmakers to the 5th place 7%

12 points for Joost Klein 👑 go go happy hardcore 🤘❤️

The entire Song festival is one big freak show!

He would simply have been the winner if he hadn't been disqualified. 12 Points to Netherlands!

12 Points from Germany to the Netherlands

Just a heads up, it's pronounced "Jhost" As in Ghost.

Now imagine this Talent was kicked out of Eurovision after he was harassed by Staff and defended himself. (he didn't wanted to be filmed backstage in the "green room")

Thanks ...Joost trots op jou ...i am a dutchy

you could turn on the subtitle and you would understand it

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Guess who that guy in the car is near the end of the song. Yes, it's the Dutch musical legend DJ Paul Elstak. Another fun fact: That long haired guy on the TV screen is another character in our media history, which was a big deal not only in the Netherlands, but in Germany as well. I'm not sure how it was in Flanders (Belgium) and the other German speaking countries, though. This guy's name is Gerrie (it's a fictive person), who is one of five rather asocial, rude and sometimes violent adolescents who make the streets of a truely existing tiny village called Maaskantje, which is laying in the south of the Netherlands and near the city of 's-Hertogenbosh (a.k.a. Den Bosch), unsafe for pretty much everyone else. These youngster look and behave kinda like they got stuck in the '90s, which is also why you'll hear al lot of music from that period in time in the background of the two movies made about them. You might think why senseless kind of violence was so popular, but it's because of the satirical nature of the humor behind it that made this so big. This franchise was the New Kids, not to confuse with New Kids on the Block, allthough that name was a kind of inside joke as well, as that group was one from the '90s as well. The actors who play these guys are a kind of comedians of satirical, stereotype-ish humor, and you'll hear them speak (and particularly swear and curse) in the Brabantian dialect of Dutch. The word probably spoken the most is 'kut', which literally means 'cunt', but is used as either an equivalent of 'sh•t'/'f•ck' or a way to call someone names. And that word is probably followed in second place by 'jonguh' ('jongen' in proper Dutch), which sort of means 'pal'/'dude'/'mate'. It's a big thing in Germany as well, because the actors dubbed the movies into German themselves.

Ik zeg 12 points for The Netherlands ❤❤❤

Says thats hits hard😂 Me who listens hard dance music:👀👀👀

joost was disqualified for swatting away a camera from a cameraman after being repeatedly harrased and asking for them to stop. They also supposedly made fun of his parent's death. Pretty unfair

12 points to the Netherlands

I agree with his father’s sentiments when it comes to one European community with no borders and a identity which is very united

I like the detail of the frontiers of europe is just a singt . its true an iknow becouse i live in europe so you can literari walk from france to germani and you dond gona found any barrier only a sigth tho what european country are you entering

❤ This song but it’s not fair That he got disqualified!

Am dutch and I not so sure about the meaning behind this song but in the end he says : at the end of the day we are all humans my father told me once it a world without borders I miss you everyday is what I secretly whisper see now dad I listened to you. It a very said story am not sure but I think his parents died at a very young age

The song its about his father

12 pionts to Joost(the last clip is a deja vu becus his parents daiy iff he was young
