All YOU need to KNOW about CHANGES to the EUROVISION GRAND FINAL following NETHERLANDS DQ

[@maidenekker]

As a Dutch person I am not going to watch tonight and I am not going to vote either. I do not know what has happened really, but I am fed up with this festival alltogether.

[@fredjechantal]

As a belgium person, i’m not going to watch eather... europapa

[@radosawrusnak7700]

blame your participant, honey

[@worldpeace595]

I am also not watching. But I am voting for croatia because if we do not vote Israel wins and hell to that!

[@worldpeace595]

​@@radosawrusnak7700didn't realise you know what happened and that he is totally at fault when there has been no conclusion.

[@anar_namazov]

as an Azerbaijani, I’m gonna enjoy the full show tonight and gonna vote for my favorite countries - Israel and Spain! good luck to other countries as well 🥂

[@lwgg742]

This 'incident' involved the Dutch contestant making a "threatening" movement to a camera held by a woman - who he didn't touch btw - who was harassing him after repeated and clear agreements - set in advance - of not wanting to be filmed on that occasion. The Netherlands is 1 of the original 7 and they kick us out over THIS???

[@Hectorien_]

Why does the comment that tries to spread the absolute truth only have 3 likes mane wtf

[@MrDen-lv5uj]

If the rules were really broken leading to this disqualification, the situation must be clearly explained to avoid misunderstanding and speculations..

[@jadesmith8106]

As a protest countries should interrupt the TV transmission as a protest for any disqualifications now and for the future! And also the Dutch jury should not vote at all!!

[@yuval560]

No woman should be threatened. Even when u r almighty Joost. Enough with allowing violence against women. He ruined it for Netherlands

[@in_wino_veritas]

They already did so yesterday, so they can't protest.

[@lwgg742]

Also, the EBU has forced the Dutch broadcaster to broadcast "as per contract", since many Dutch are outraged.

[@bertoverweel6588]

If a country is disqualified this country doesn't need to give points to night. They won't get a penny from me.

[@alankirby1353]

Why should the country be penalised. Italy got away with posting Tele votes for semifinal 2 with out any punishment

[@JohnZonneveld]

Of course dutch viewers can still televote. EBU needs the money #dontTelevote

[@almericopoulot]

Laten ze de T! krijgen

[@Rafael-br9dd]

If you want justice for Joost, vote for Switzerland, Italy, Croatia or any other. We cannot let Israel to win the televote #justiceforjoost

[@joris-zuphert]

If the EBU does not give context, this whole thing is a sh.tshow

[@oyamawapiti]

It's a circus and a distraction from Israel participating.

[@cbaten2]

Please all read the detailed description in the official declaration of the Dutch broadcasting organisation (17. 30) of what according to them has happened. This seems very in synch with earlier declarations of ebu, police and others. Then make up your mind.

[@braindeadnobrains7306]

Volgens Cornald Maas (verslaggever AVROTROS), heeft Joost Klein een telefoon van een medewerkster naar beneden gedrukt. "Joost is meerdere malen door deze vrouw lastiggevallen met een draaiende camera. Hij had al meerdere malen aangeven dat hij niet gefilmd wilde worden."

[@lindavisser7738]

Avrotros heeft in een statement duidelijk gemaakt dat hij de camera NIET heeft aangeraakt, ondanks het feit dat de vrouw - tegen alle afspraken in - bleef filmen, ofschoon Joost haar diverse keren vroeg dit niet te doen.

[@ketilkn]

So if I understand this correctly, we are to vote for song number 5.

[@lindavisser7738]

🤣 Correct!

[@ricardo_gfo5174]

The only thing i need to know now is how to turn off the tv when eurovision comes on😅 all i came for was Joost anyway, better just watch his own concerts, much better and full of LOVE AND PEACE.

[@fhpmsengers5869]

In Sweden, Van der Poel (cyclist) performed in the same way(with children) during a championship. So that's a nasty trick in Sweden.

[@arishem07]

If they have eliminated the Netherlands representative from the competition, he must have done something inappropriate, I don't think he was expelled on a whim. It is said that there was a serious incident with an employee of the organization.

[@anka6356]

No, it wasn't. There was no physical attack of any sort.

[@almericopoulot]

Bullshit!

[@raumheld5627]

[@zxzsczbg]

question - can we still see the position where joost have been up in the semi final ???

[@twistedelegance_]

Idk why disqualified is so difficult to understand. The votes have been given to other countries already.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Pretty sure we'll get those results after the final as usual.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

@@twistedelegance_ Read before you comment like an absolute twat, he said SEMI final.

[@yuval560]

No idea. But there were the charts. He wasnt for the win judging by the feedback. There stronger bets

[@kc9music]

I presume after the grand final, we will be able to see where Joost came in the Semi final 2 because the disqualification on came into play after the semi. The results from the semi final could not be changed. Changes can only be made to the grand final results as the disqualification came into play from the jury show onwards.

[@almericopoulot]

Vote song number 5!!! Vote against EBU!

[@ricardo_gfo5174]

Haha yes dont vote 5!!! Just dont vote at all.

[@olofapfelbaum4687]

It’s not a person from SVT that has made the complaint against Joost it’s another photographer! SVT has not made some complaints! This is on the Swedish newspaper Expressen, so you now! This is confirmed! I can’t understand why people take Joost side! He has done something that’s not ok! Think about the person that has been a victim here! People are so selfish!

[@twistedelegance_]

People who grew up on the web have taken over and made ESC toxic. It started last year and now they will destroy the show completely and blame EBU for it.

[@acacius9903]

Because we all know that Israel was cooking bs for Joost Klein and they are behind this also. We know what's up dude. Joost Klein is one of the nicest people so this sh*t doesn't make any sense. Stop the bs. We will find out who that person is that made the bogus complaints.

[@uikonimi]

Think about that someone insulted Joost's dead parents which made him react!

[@dasmysteryman12]

The incident wasn’t physical, it was verbal, and the photographer insulted his parents. On the one hand, Joost shouldn’t have acted that way. But on the other hand, personally I think the punishment is disproportionate, considering the delegation from a certain country is harassing artists without any consequence.

[@draganblastovicz7487]

What happened to “innocent until proven guilty?” And it wasn’t a photographer but someone from the production team btw. The reason why so many are crossed is because no information what so ever has been given by the organization on what would justify a disqualification except that Joost was “under investigation” and being under investigation still means being innocent until proven guilty. At least under EU laws.. if Joost has committed a crime he should be afterwards disqualified, possibly indicted and punished. But being disqualified this way is not a correct way to handle this situation.

[@natashatoskovic344]

Eurovision has always been influenced by politics and what’s on the agenda!

[@peasemaker4]

AVROTROS has just released a statement on what happened.. and it’s gonna upset A LOT of fans!!

[@veronikalynn5084]

Pretty absurd and shameful that an artist is being punished for simply reacting like a human being caught in an uncomfortable, unwanted interaction. Why do we expect (or rather, demand) that they welcome any and all interaction with the public, regardless of time and space?? It’s really weird and unrealistic. Remember the days of the superstar or the quintessential “diva” trope? I understand that celebrity is also a weird, unrealistic concept, but is the way we treat artists now really an improvement on that? There seems to be less and less tolerance of “diva” behavior from the public and the media. It’s gotten tougher for artists to distinguish themselves amongst the crowd as it’s grown larger and larger. Fewer are able to reach the levels of fantastic wealth and elite status of old - the qualifications required to be seen as “untouchable,” to be given a free pass to treat those below any way they please. There’s nothing honorable in that. But the media and the public acting like dogs or spoiled children is the reason it’s coveted. Ok, sorry for the unnecessarily long and serious essay triggered by Eurovision, of all things lol

[@lamaree9808]

Shame on the Dutch Artist for indulging in politics instead of concentrating in his art.... Pride before the fall

[@dutchdryfly]

Your IQ is not to great, is it?

[@ginoh007]

You just assuming and pitchforking before even knowing what happened? I am pretty sure we all have no info yet what happened, think harder and smarter before just being ugly about something you probably know nothing about.

[@Mdgd63]

The crowd will be singing EuroPaPa before Isreal start singing, i suppose!

For anybody who wants justice for Joost, vote for Croatia, Switzerland, Italy or any other country. We cannot let Israel win the televote #justiceforjoost
