*WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE DUTCH ENTRY FOR EUROVISION 2024?*

[@rinskevanmensvoort82]

Absolute BANGER!! 🤸🏻‍♀️

[@RensJAM]

12 POINTS TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!

[@7nowk]

Do yall mean the guy that won Eurovision 2024?

[@OldschoolRacer73]

I am from the Netherlands. They not only produced the winning song. This will be the Europe anthem and make England wanna rejoin again. Europa Jonguh! 😂

[@corese75]

love it!!!!!😍❤🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

The Dutch should be PROUD of this! Although it's clashing with other songs, it's very catchy and memorable. It's also art since it's dedicated to Joost's father! This song has STRONG potential if staged right.

[@leflyxdvd]

atm in my circle everybody loves it even if it doesnt score high, getting "gabber" to be heard in eurovision is enough for most of em

[@Heyyitscaelin]

We are proud

[@user-fw7vl9uz3z]

Eurovision is an emotional affair for Joost. As a child, he watched it together with his parents. "Parents, one day I'm going to be on Eurovision stage" and he made it. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was a child. This song is dedicated to his late father. That's why it's called EUROPAPA. The part in the song “I'm in Germany, but I'm so alone. I'm in Italy, but I still feel the pain, etc.", I feel it's directed at his parents... Joost loved his parents and still does. His lyrics are mostly very deep, but the melody is happy, danceable and the clips of his song are presented in a fun way. Joost himself said that his musical style is diverse. When Joost was asked what song they should listen to in order to understand you. He answered Florida 2009 (it's about his parents) and Wachtmuziek (it's about mental health). I recommend listening to them. You have to translate it, because he sings in Dutch.

[@sanmama1602]

It's almost not translatable unless you're Dutch. And at the same time we all can understand each other through art.

[@ricooric2580]

I'm so happy. At first I was a bit afraid when they announced Joost but this song is so good. Proud dutchy here.

[@SuperPassionflower]

old lady of 67, from Amsterdam: I fully agree!!! it is AWESOME!!!!!!

[@dv6937]

I'm a Dutchie and F*ck yeah that Joost is doing this! Grown up in the nineties and Gabber is Dutch culture and great to see it in a Eurovision song. Also the ending is double.. His parents.. And Europe burning at this moment.. We all need to get together and fight against the wrongdoing right now.

[@SuperPassionflower]

💫👌👏

[@germainehoens]

Hear, hear!

[@joejoe7037]

Belgium knows the vibe perfect😂

[@JustBeingAwesome]

Indeed 😂 I'm sure 1000% sure Belgium will give 12 points to the Netherlands. This is our culture too :)

[@leendertjanw7540]

Like Maike, I'm a Dutchie that hates gabber. But I was immediately drawn to the contrast between the party sound and the sad lyrics. And the final part hits like a brick.

[@marcofrerix2369]

It's amazing! A partysong with a very deep message. Joost you did it 🎉❤

[@Medii_98]

For those who wants to know the story behind the song

[@Roland807]

That‘s f***ing good and my Swiss heart‘s not amused about that fact. 🤩✨

[@daviddanser8011]

I am Dutch but loving the Swiss entry as well tbh

[@dancelover020]

I am totally surprised I LOVE this!!! Takes me back to the 90s and all those different styles that actually originated from the Netherlands and all go so smootth into echother. And then at the end that emotional ending.. its a rollercoaster of emotions. And hey, life can be a party but not all the time. 12 points from me!

[@ciskavandevijver2355]

Happy Hardcore over the world.. DANCE AND UNITE....greets from the Netherlands to you all.

[@jobveldhuizen7089]

As someone who normally listens to hardstyle/hardcore i see this track as a huge dub, also the fact that it is different then what the Netherlands usually sends out I'm happy with Joost.

[@mzbelgium]

It makes my heart so happy to see you all reacting this way to this song! It's not my usual cup of tea at all, but I'm fully rooting for Joost this year. He has something special.

[@Sieg-bx4lc]

12 points de la France 🇫🇷 ! Cette chanson est troublante, triste et avec plusieurs sens… ❤️‍🩹 Vive l’Europe 🇪🇺, soyons fiers d’y vivre et vive la Chanson de Joost. 😍

[@pas76]

I am Dutch and I am obsessed this hardcore gabber style music was from my younger years never expected it to be in Eurovision ❤🎉

[@SuperPassionflower]

absolutely love it! when Gabber was hot I was already "getting on a bit" now 67.... but I am dancing!!!!

[@damian796]

Malmo will explode with this song!!! I don't miss this live, it will be incredible. The first place in televoting!!! Up Europe!! Land of great opportunities!!! Up to the Netherlands!!!

[@musikkritisk]

I "hate" this song because it made cry at the end of it, after so much fun, and with "hate" I mean LOVE, he is doing a kind of homage to his parents and Europe, and you can feel that even knowing a thing of dutch, that's what good music must make you feel. Well done, Netherlands! All the best in Malmö!

[@thebigtenfour]

Massive props in embracing Dutchness in every way. It takes the song to the next level. And I think the crowd singing along to the Europapa-pa-pa-pa-bum and stomping to the hardcore are gonna be massive moments in Malmo.

[@JustinWAL19]

From us Americans who watch we want this to win Eurovision.

[@BruidsmodeOutletStore]

Love ❤the song. Its happy and sad and sad at the same time. 12 points for The Netherlands. ❤❤❤

[@xxdannynlxx4105]

I love this from fun to a suprise and then something emotional that puts you back to the ground. Joost you nailed this. Love the story behind it. Hope you win!

[@rinskevanmensvoort82]

You will all be crying at the end of the live performance, just like me 😭🥺❤️❤️.

[@jordy703]

This song is magic. From ultimate happiness to ultimate sadness in one song. You tell me that’s magic.

[@johannesnicolaas]

I love to see so many comments at the same time.... Great video!!

[@johannesnicolaas]

Makes me very happy and jumpy...

[@bertbakker307]

Emotional rollercoaster

[@RanDMC31]

hahaha, awesome edit at 3:21 guys! Watched it, saw Amir go berserk, pressed the left arrow button and back at 3:21 again. On repeat hahaha

[@harrywarnshuis8738]

Dutch at Eurovision deserves with this sound the finale ❤️👌👌😍🙏🍀🎊

[@000Revan]

I don't know what's happening, but I'm sure I'll headbang to Europapa on my Eurotrip this summer! Saluti from Italy!

[@thorstenhusing6637]

Totally perfect mix between remind your roots and open minded for something different, even honor them and most important not taking yourself or something else to serious. I like the dutch kind of thinking ;), sry 4 my bad english...

[@mylittlenukacola1932]

As a dutchie is so proud of this, this song catches so much from past about dutch and european culture. I love the small details to famous and well known dutch people in the video. This will defently go the finals and i hope they will win

[@gerritgerards8035]

Guess we know the winner of this year - EuroPapa! We need some positive vibes. Love it!!!!!

[@petermaardananders6803]

I haven't wanted to watch the UVSC for the last 3 years, but Joost makes me want to see it live on stage. The video has so many hidden gems/ referrals most (non-Dutch) won't get them, this is a brilliant piece of art. Joost Jonguh you nailed it and then some. I'm so proud of you :) Thank you for making me want, no, must(!!) watch the UVSC again.

[@weetjijwel050]

Dont overthink it, its happy hardore gold from the Netherlands. Let it all out and go mental when its played. We can all go back to our boring lives after, but during this song Europe has to party mad. letsgoooo Europe!!

[@travelchoice89]

Joost Klein's "Europapa" is a catchy tune that perfectly captures the Eurovision spirit! Can't wait to see the Netherlands shine on stage! 🌟🎶

[@_b0h4z4rd7]

Awesome reaction to an outstanding song.

[@takk78]

amazing reaction. WELL DONE. LOVE JOOST

[@squadramunter]

papa means dad in Dutch. Europapa is dedicated to his dad which passed away due to cancer. He was just a little kid 12 years old. His mom died a year later due to a cardiac arrest. Writing songs is like a therapy to dedicate songs mostly to his parents. His father give him the mindset that there are no borders. Borders are just invented by people so dare to think without limits. why don't you invent your own world. If you want to know more about Joost Klein you should give Florida 2009 a shot and Wachtmuziek. Both are in Dutch but there are lyrics for you can translate in English. It gives a better understanding who he is.

[@CobraChicken101]

12 points from Belgium, 💯 😂. True to the dutch DNA and this to me as a 90s teenager is such a nostalgic beat. Happy Hardcore at Eurovision,😂 lets gooo Hakkeeeee 🤘❤️🇳🇱🇧🇪🇪🇺

[@joostprins3381]

It makes you smile, with a tear at the end…

[@stoicepictetus3875]

Fantastic. A rollercoaster love song for his parents, Europe and with Europe the whole world. 12 points !!

[@chansadres]

Everyone missed the cameo of the one and only hardcore legend DJ Paul Elstak in the car (he did the hardcore remix in the ending). 😂

[@moredaan]

Love this rollercoaster! And your voice Matt ;)

[@QiuArVee]

Fantastic reactions, fun idea to have a group of people from different countries react together.

[@SuperJNG18]

It took me watching this to realize S10 and Emma Wortelboer made cameos in the video!

[@sgriens6524]

I find it funny that very few people recognize René Froger on their right, who did go to Eurovision with de Toppers. It's almost as if people are trying to forget "Shine" ever happened....

[@QKDrone]

Paul elstak in the car at the gabber drop aswell :)@@sgriens6524

[@Sahi_PK]

⁠SHIIIIINE! SHIIIIINE!! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!

[@MsDelsea]

@@sgriens6524 I didn't recognize anyone until I watched the making of this video :) But Renee entered, S10 entered, Donny is a friend of Joost, and Emma screamed at the Results.. :) it's a fun way to have all this people together in the "last meal" as this scene was called :)

[@freyaschenberg1225]

i don't care what people say, this is in my top 3, i LOVE it so much, joost should be proud of what he's created 🫶🏻 and as for how it'll translate on stage, i'm honestly not worried since joost has an amazing stage presence !! this is gonna be AMAZING in may.

[@Sergioooooooooooooo]

In love ❤

[@OOZEgraffiti187]

I cant listen to this song without crying at the end and i have been listening to it 30x a day since it came out. Seems like i'm gonna have a tough time until eurovision 😅

[@RoelofGlazenberg]

❤love it😂

[@19932603A]

Ohhh, thanks Maike for explaining. I was wondering what the hell was going on with the last part and couldn't find any info.

[@bartdegryse9345]

we're bringing the gabber culture to the eurovision x)

[@Fev333r]

This is my first time watching this channel. Danie has stolen my heart and Amir is SO handsome.

[@markdekker3047]

love this very much its and banger my country netherlands are slaying

[@mlambree2464]

It seems this song is so catchy because we can all relate to it one way or the other. Like a work of art it shows life's joy and pain existing simultaniously and the strenght of connectedness as a healing process. Even with the raw elements it breaths softness and vulnerability. Well done! Definitely 12 points to Joost Klein and his team of the Netherlands!

[@YOUareGODSMACKT]

Love it❤❤❤❤

[@airfei2210]

I have so much fun and made me smile so much every time I watch, but then hit me and make me cry every single time. 12 points from Spain

[@aukeman1111]

Joost klein droom GROOT! 🇪🇺🇳🇱

[@juanitapas]

THE BEST THE DUTCH HAVE SEND, WE LOVE U JOOST 12 punteeeeeeeeennnn

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

It's the best song every. Finally some happy hardcore. Let's go Netherlands! Echt wel gaaf.

[@ThomDeWit]

I don’t care one bit about Eurovision. But i do care about Joost Klein. He is a true artist, goosebumps everytime!

[@photovideographer5541]

Best song in years

[@alexandersaksvoll5373]

This is more catchy than I like to admit! Also I love that you are talking about the Käärija-effect :D Such a legendary performance by Finland last year.

[@rsart186]

Someone who lost his parent at such a young age must be stuck in time for some time until he recovers from such a trauma. You hitting the nail on its head when you say that papa means father. Joost used the Dutch word Europa cleverly, and extend it to Europapa, as a vehicle to use the word papa over and over again (I guess papa has never been used so many times in any song) to honour his father, who also taught Joost to broaden his view beyond the borders of the Netherlands because borders a just a concept invented by humans. The start of the song and the passport thing refers to that. Now he crossed the boundaries of the Netherlands like his father told him to do by his entry to the Eurovision contest and thus leaving the 12 year old boy inside him behind (represented by the last shot of the burning house where he stood in front of his "father and his 12 year old self"). Let's hope he can now finally move on now he virtually burned his traumatic past.

[@peterbakker8553]

Welcome to Europe, stay here until I die. At the end of the day we are all human beings (AFTER THE CELEBRATIONS OF THE FIRST PART OF THE SONG) My father once told me it's a world without borders I miss you everyday, I whisper secretly Do you see now dad? I listened to you For me this is also a statement about Europe and the fact that europe is also Ukrain where on both sides thousands of young soldiers,humans die while we celebrate eurovision. For me Joost is my hero.

[@atvena]

Finally a compilation reaction to this banger

[@Kamelahamidy]

Its stuck in my head😂

[@grambo4436]

I'm very excited for the Netherlands. Not only they combine both Happy Hardcore and Gabber but it's also part of the Dutch rave culture during its growth in the 1990s. With events like Thunderdome, Mysteryland etc that plays styles like this.

[@stadleiden]

So happy for Joost!

[@TheFaruk2]

Love love love définition of euro❤

[@nf3731]

Joooost!!!! Slay!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@utrniii]

definitely top 5 in tele, no doubt, so I think this will be achieving of top 10, well done netherlands i love it!

[@HeyHey_HC]

I live for that Happy Hardcore turn 😂

[@Nek977]

12 points from Germany ❤

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

In my humble opinion, Maike is a much more suitable ESC reporter than Jantje Smit.

[@maikerhode4356]

I take this as a huuuge compliment, thank you so much ❤️ (maybe one day?)

[@dave1361]

Totally gives me mid 90s vibes, with something about it that also reminds me of Eurotrash the TV series, and no I don't know why. But... it's fun. I thought I'd imagined the Stromae reference the first listen through I had, but no. It was there.

[@heronightblade]

Hey people’s, I’m a Dutchie that hates gabber or hardcore music. but after listening a few times again. I become totally obsessed with this music. My advice for people who don't like this music is to give them some more time and listen again. the reason why this music is going big and (big chance) winning this ESC 2024. 1, in a short time there are so many views. no one in history has managed to get views in such a short time. This song would definitely be top 1 on Televote. 2, there is a big ART, meaning and sad story inside of this music. but most people don't know. 3, the chorus is constantly stuck in your head. But this brings pleasure and joy. 4, this music is easy to sing. 5, who doesn't like cheerful music. 6, The vibes is amazing, in addition very Getchy. 7, Joost klein is amazing singer, he has many fans in several European countries. So ‘ EUROPAPA’ for the win! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@harrywarnshuis8738]

Whatch out; Joost is coming ❤❤

[@S6oo9H]

Joost lost his parents at a very young age. They always watched the euro song festival. So 1 day Joost promised his dad he would make a song for it, now its a tribute to his parents!! Love the '90 happy hardcore style of music and filming!!

[@selindenizcebi9952]

12 points from Turkije 🇹🇷💋❤️

[@jcmoerlemans2651]

it is ART !!!!!

[@ILLYCUP]

breathtaking

[@flyingbinkies7290]

Welkom in Europa Jonguh 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@Angela-05]

Our song for the eurovision songfestival is giving me goosebump 🥹

[@ilsekestemont1084]

Awesome song!!!! Joost Klein delivers 😎

[@RustyBumbleBee]

It’s fun and up beat, but in it’s core it’s a sad song about him missing his parents. Who died when he was very young. His dad thought him there are no borders. And while watching eurosong with them he told them he would preform there one time. They died when he was 12 and that’s why he dedicated this song to them.

[@alfonsomorenodominguez1423]

Okay has anyone made it through the outro without crying????? Asking for a friend

[@Daanatar]

3:47: My friends... 3:33: Me

[@renemeyer256]

😂😂😂 🔥

[@tovekauppi1616]

The ending always gets me. Every time.

[@drAgonheart580]

HAAKKKKKUH Maaskantje Junguh. The nineties are back!!!

[@jerrysnot6779]

This might be the reason that I will watch Eurovision 2024. Have not watch it for like 10 years. During my youth I did watch it every year, but with expansion with other countries I lost interest. Joost, you did it! 👍👍👍

[@manoahhuur5327]

best song ever

[@EK-ts9uj]

Loveeee it

[@judithschoffer]

Although gabber and hardcore are really not my style, I love this song! Joost is such a likable person, he is so real and he put his heart and soul in this song and you can hear that. I don’t know many songs that can make you smile, dance, jump for joy, give your goosebumps and make you cry within 3 minutes 🤩 Go Joost 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@One_Odd_Parrot]

Hello Netherlands…the 90’s here, we want our happy hardcore back…BAM!

[@typowa_janniara2]

it is one of my favourites

[@Rathian03]

This song makes me envious of the people who will be live at the finals. I would go crazy in the audience 😂

[@jeroen3219]

The Dutch are coming 😉

[@ohmygodlauren]

the guy saying it sounds like crazy frog is kinda funny cause ive seen joost live two times now n hes started his set with crazy frog both times

[@Het-Marnegebied]

Great track! A sense of honor to his parents. Joost is just in seventh grade when his father dies of cancer. Joost was twelve when his father died of cancer. At the time, he was just in the first year of grammar school in Leeuwarden. On his father's deathbed he promised him to become a writer. A year later, his mother also suddenly died. He is just twelve years old.

[@Meppeler1971]

The Netherlands brings Hardcore to Eurovision.... GREAT!!
