Sadly he got disqualified for standing up for himself. His boundaries were not respected, and all he did was push the woman's phone down without touching nor wounding her. At the end Eurovision just tried to find a good excuse in getting rid of the Netherlands in the finals.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I hate that this happened. Sad excuse to get rid of the competition to the country they wanted to win. UGH

​​​@@Yasuee no, all the report (made by the police, the Dutch broadcaster and the EBU) said was that he did a "threatening movement", literally doesn't mention anything else. He could've made a motion that he was gonna push the camera, he could've stood up, literally anything. But never got violent. The lady went against his wishes and broke the EBU rule by filming him without his consent, during an intimate moment

[@brendalarbui8118]

He lost his parents. First his dad at 12. 1 year later he lost his mom at age 13. This song is about finding himself.

His song makes you laugh, dance and cry in just 3 minutes. What an hommage to being European and Dutch, to Dutch music and to his parents. Joost has the status of an absolute legend with us in Belgium.

He's here as well in the Netherlands.

[@forestdweller5581]

People in The Netherlands and Belgium know...this is an asshole trying to get rich and famous.

[@jwijnings]

In one Dutch late night show, Joost Klein explained the burning of the house symbolizes leaving the pain behind of losing his parents. The memory must and will remain, but the pain cannot carry on forever (it's an impossible burden). So he used this song to put an end the processing of enduring pain. Fantastic symbolics in here, great artist. And very interesting to see how this 'Dutch phenomenon' also works for people outside the Netherlands. DaneBramage really catches the point before looking at the intentions on the Eurovision website. Nice analysis!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Than you so much, there was so much going on and almost way to much to figure it all, but, its about the music and this one was fantastic! LOVE IT!

[@forestdweller5581]

And he tries to use that to win points in the dumbest show on Earth. As if he is special in losing parents or loved ones. A total attention seeking self obsessed moron.

[@erwintimmerman6466]

He also references (at the eating table) the Belgian singer Stromae with his song "Papaoute" which is French for "Papa (dad), where are you?" So many layers that point to his father.

[@BluePointOpleidingen]

This is is not only music, this is art. So many double messages. It makes me happy, gives me energy and makes me sad as wel. How is that posible. Respect

Can you beleive they send him away before the finals because some woman with a camera filmed him backstage, after there was an agreement not to film him? He asked her twice to stop, she didnt and he pushed the phone away (without touching her!), the phone fell and because of this he was disqualified!! Outreagous!! All of his fans around the world are furious because he could have won! It was his biggest wish to perform at the eurovision and make his parents proud. Even though they are gone. So extremely sad... Love your comments on the clip 💙

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

That is ridiculous and not a good excuse to kick him out. There were other rules broken by other performers but they did not kicked out. Not ok.

[@studio2569]

3 facts: 1. Joost told in an interview that his father passed away when he was just 12 years old. And one year later his mother passed away aswell. 2. He promised his father to perform on the Eurovision Songcontest when he was a kid. 3. The title 'Europapa' had a deeper meaning aswell. Europa means 'Europe' and Papa means 'dad/father'. So it actually are two words malded together: Europa and Papa. Joost ofcourse has personally already won because of his promise to his father to perform at the Eurovision Songcontest. But I would love to see his emotions when he really wins it. ❤

USian here, we saw what EBU did to Joost and were heartbroken for him. They stole from him a beautiful moment. So upset about the abuse he and other delegations suffered. I used to love streaming ESC but 2024 was an absolute shambles. EBU even tainted Nemo's win. Joost is getting airplay in several states! US social media lifting him up too. 💖

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@ninglorithiel That is great to hear that he is getting airplay. The fans are supporting him through streaming so this is great.

[@edojan]

Just one sentence in this song: 'I lost everything, except time. I'm traveling every day cause the world is mine'.... Meaning: I lost everything what's important to me (his parents) the only thing that remains is the time he needs to fill up. He's running, searching, trying to find something. Every day over and over and again in a world where he feels lonely. All sung and performed in a 'happy hardcore' style. As a contrast, as a mask.

[@jelmerth]

im seeing a lot of covers/ripoffs' but im waiting for an singer song writer version. then the lyrics can come over different. like Coldplay witch did Fight for your righti of the beasty boys

[@heinzfpv4787]

''i lost everything, except time'' is probably a reference to the fact that Europe is almost completely within the same time zone. In the same way that he mentioned the other benefits of the europe like it being virtually borderless.

[@edojan]

I don't think so@@heinzfpv4787. This is not just a song about Europe, it's a story of depression, feeling lost and a cry for help.

[@gerlindevink9481]

This is a great review. You understood the meaning of this song, it’s not only funny. A lot of Dutch culture, it’s a big artwork❤

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank You!!

[@starkeberit]

Joost had already a number one hit in Germany last year. He made a rap- techno- cover song „Friesenjung“ with the German rapper Ski Aggu. It‘s a cover of „Englishman in NY“ that was already covered by the German comedian Otto in the 80‘s. The video is absolutely crazy, too. The end of „Europapa“ ist the typical Dutch techno style „Gabber“ that is also popular in Germany. Because of that I think he gets 12 points from us (Germans). I love the song because of the mix between happy rave style (I like very much) and its deep content (lost his parents, the European unity).

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I heard about that. His story is incredible. Love this song.

The fact that you recognised a lot of the deeper meanings behind the fun before your analysis says ALL about Joost' artisthood. He has thought it through so well!! He is a genius. As someone who disliked this genre back in the nineties, I have such respect for his entry and I absolutely love it!! Joost should win ESC but he has already won in my opinion. In these days where the youth is being tought life should always be Instagram perfect, he is a pure and refreshing inspiration for them. We need more Joosts in the world!!

Hahaha, I never hated house, back when I was 13-14, I listened to both black metal and hardcore house! I just wanted the heaviest of them all. I didn’t care about genres.

Pretty sharp analysis for a first hearing ! The thing with his dad is that both his father and mother died within a year when he was 12. He was left orphan with his then 26 yr old brother ( who is his manager btw). This both scarred and fuelled him. His motto is Joost Klein, Droom Groot (litt. Joost "little', dream big' ). Halfway is the mentioning of belgian singer Stromae song 'Papaoutai' which is a song about an absent father ('papa ou etais ' 'papa where were you' . His father was killed in Rwanda genocide ..😔) . Stromae is da bomb. Every song of him is hearbreakingly good ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqum2OQlL2hoMU&ab_channel=StromaeVEVO

As happy as this song sounds, it's a sad song. Actually, he describes his life in a few minutes; In the first verse, he talks about losing everything. An important part is the death of his parents when he was 12/13 years old. In the second verse, he talks about how alone and lonely he is. He also says that he needed help because of depression and being homeless and apparently insufficiently helped I don't understand the reference to stromai (bad in french). The leonardi da vinci (The Last Supper) scene may refer to one of his songs in which he sings that he is god. If I remember correctly, his father once told him that he should keep writing poetry. The house with the mill is the place in which he grew up (with all the shit) and possibly burning it down, taking a new step into a new world without borders in which he can do whatever he wants

You perfectly articulated what makes his song so fun in that first comment!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you!

[@_JoyceArt]

Dutch opinion: I love how you mention his expressions, because I was skeptical before watching it the first time. Although he’s big already in several countries, I didn’t know him before. But oh my, his facial expressions are so much fun to watch. On top of that, it’s similar to music from from my teens, so another reason to love it. On top of his background. I really hope they can put together a performance that reflects the energy of his clip.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I hope so, too; as much fun and amazing as this video was for this contest, it is all about the stage performance. I'm cheering for Joost!

Very nice review of Europapa! I’m in love with the great song and I’m 56 years old, apparently I’m too old to like Happy hardcore. The song really sticks in my head, also the reference to Papaoutai (Dad, where are you?) by Stromae is great! I hope he will finish in the top five at least. 1️⃣2️⃣ Points from me 👏👏🏽👏🏾🏆🇪🇺🎉🥳

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much!! I love it as well and I am excited to see the show!

[@DamienT1891]

Pretty good pronunciations. Joost is a ghost who eats the most toast on the coast. The EDM is Eurobeat mixed with true old school Dutch happy hardcore. The later segment is old school Hardcore from around 1994/'95. The dancing to this is called Hakken (back then) and is now more known as Gabber. The song is a tribute to his father and mum who passed away at respectively 12 and 13. The song is about an orhan traveling the continent and beyond to escape from his grief and pain. Yet no matter where he goes the void follows him. The end is a message saying he found the strength of letting go. His fathers words that it is a world without "grenzen" which is a Dutch word that means both borders and boundries. A deep poetic song to happy hardcore beats and a goosebumps inducing conclusion where he delivers the whole context of the song. A brilliant lil masterpiece imo. One of the best Eurovision entries to date. Love from an old school Gabber from The Netherlands ❤🇳🇱

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Hi there! Welcome and thank you so much for providing that information. Knowing all this, he translated it into song very well and I LOVE this. This is one of my top 3 favorite entries in the contest and I think may just win. I love this guy and am so happy to have discovered him and this song. This is why I love this contest. Cheers and thank you again for providing us that info.

Top uitleg en antwoord! Groeten van een mede oud- gabber:)

[@DamienT1891]

@DaneBramageROCKS You asked. Thank you for the interest. Most are for clicks you went for quality and content. Cudos for that. Dutch is a complicated language with words that have no equivalent translation. Gezellig is an example. It means warming cozy atmosphere. Welcoming, friendly and inviting. 😊 One thing many miss is Stomae and Papaoutai. This is French and literally translates to "dad where are you". The building with windmill is a mashup of build types. Probably a visual representation of childhood memories mixed with the emotional burden. Loved your review. Figured I'd give you some first hand info and an "in my perspective" Keep up the great work.

I ❤ your cheerfull commentary. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇾🇪 100% Frysian 😁🤭 Joost was at the ESC live on stage. After his performance he was disqualified. The guy is a welraised intellectual Frysian guy. He shares his deepest emotions, is honest about issues, shares his thoughts with the whole world. This video has many, many lairs. After his performance he was very emotional. The appointment they made was : no filming after the performance. But the press was very pushy. He did not hurt the filming woman. Direct after what happend, he many times said: sorry, sorry, sorry. Let me speak out loud, one thing for sure, Joost Klein, is not a very bad person. How does the video start ? I ❤ you all.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much. I love this jam and still play it.

[@Nientje1710]

This is really the 90th with happy hardcore, typical Dutch; my childhood and how special it is that Joost, who was born in 1997, brings this style back into our lives. What an artist and a performer.🙏 Truly the best of the Netherlands ever. This song is with happiness and sadness combined, that releases all kinds of different feelings in a human body.Terrific beat, terrific feelings, thank you Joost.🙏🙏🙏 This is what music is about. If this isn't going to win, than I don't know it anymore and we'd better abolish the entire Eurovision Song Contest. Love this, love Joost, with love and 12 points.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

@@Nientje1710 you're missing my point. Tell me, when was the last time The Netherlands won before 2020. Can you even tell me? Right it was in 1975. Growing up in the 80s and 90s with Eurovision it felt like cou tries like NL could never win due to language and or politics as cou tries appeared to always vote for neighbouring countries. We went 45 years without winning. And the 2020 song was in English as NL always felt like it wouldn't stand a change in Dutch. That's why it so cool the way they're doing the song the way they are now. So yeah.....I DO know what I'm talking about, thank you very much. Maybe read the comment better next time.

[@1Lyvyan]

This song has a deeper meaning. 'Papa' is translated 'dad' in dutch. Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was 12 and his mom a year later because of a cardiac arrest. When he was younger he watched the Eurovision with his parents and said “I’m gonna sing at Eurovision one day”. Joost sings that no matter where he goes or what he eats, he can not escape the pain of this loss. In the end he says goodbye to the pain of his loss by burning the photo, without losing the memory. This song is also an ode to Europe. His dad told him that it’s a world without borders, because borders are invented by humans. And that you can create your own world. The dance break is happy hardcore - a music style that was invented in the Netherlands, also called gabber music. Bringing a personal loss, the feeling of Europe and the dutch culture together; that is art. The lyrics have a lot of layers: Europe let’s come together! It’s now or never! I love you all! Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Visit my friends in France Or take a long walk to Vienna I want to leave the Netherlands But my passport is gone Fortunately don't need a visa To be with you So take the bus to Poland Or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris So use my imagination Do you have a euro please Say "merci" and "please" I lost everything Except time So am travelling every day For the world is mine Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa! Ich bin in Deutschland Aber Ich bin so allein Io sono in Italia but still I feel pain Am running from myself Calling for "help!" all day long Yes I even give people money But there is no one to help me I don't need es-car-gots Don't need fish 'n chips Don't need paella, no I don't even really know what that is Turn on the radio I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai" Won't stop until they say "Yes, yes, he does that very well ey!" Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until I die Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa! Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa…. Welcome in Europe boy! At the end of the day We are all human beings My father once told me It's a world without borders I miss you every day Is what I secretly whisper You see dad I listened to you Is what I secretly whisper You see dad I listened to you

The guy Donnie, who helped with the lyrics, is in the video. He sits next to Joost (on the right) in the last supper scene. The women on the left of Joost is S10 (Stien) who competed a few years back for the Netherlands. The music genre "happy hardcore" is a typically dutch things from the 90's the British would call it rave music. ALthough rave and HH share the same core values, the happy hardcore has a distinct own sound. (: Bummer Joost never made it to the finale....

Nostalgia from the 90's. 9 millions views in 8 days, no1 trending on KZbin, loved from Asia to South America. No1 on Spotify in many countries. A hit on TikTok. Joost said that he will bring a huge surprise on stage in the finals that will shock the world. This is a masterpiece. Euro papa= Euro dad, because papa is dad in Dutch. A sad song with lyrics with a meaning, with a message, in a happy hardcore melody. A letter to his father who died when he was a 12 year old child. His mother past away a year later. He promised his father that he will be someday on the Eurovision Songcontest stage. His father told him that it is possible because there are no borders between the countries, and no limits to follow his dream. Borders and limitations are made by human. In every country he went, he felt the pain and grief of no having his parents. The fire symbolise letting go of the grief and pain, and the start of a new chapter in his live.

The song goes through 3 stages Stage 1, happy: the song is a vibe and catchy so you cant stop thinking about it Stage 2, sad: you realise that he has been disqualified and can’t go in the finals Stage 3 depression: after research, you find out that his dad died when he was 12 and his mom died a year later. He dedicated the song to them because his dad loved travel and you also know why he has been disqualified. He was disqualified because of “threatening” a camerawoman because she wasn’t giving him space after the song was over since he was quite emotional.
