This was so fun! I recorded it a month ago, it was available on BMC first (due to copyright), but now it's available on youtube, enjoy!

[@Liesbeth-qm3ds]

I adore your reactions ❤

[@Liesbeth-qm3ds]

Thuis is the true Joost ... a awesome musician... a honest genius ❤🎉

joost trade op on zwarte cross 2024

[@Cherlindrea99]

Joost and his friends created a new art movement, I believe. A combination of poetry, spoken word, music, other sound effects, visual effects, theater, dancing, jumping, presented on stages and social media. Eurovision was just a part of this art. You need to follow everything they do to get the whole experience. Theme is authenticy. No ego's, no lies, no secrets, total sincerity. They only have to name this movement. Thank you for reacting to something in a language you don't understand. But you do understand the art ❤

[@Cherlindrea99]

By the way the crying lady at the end I believe is Joost's sister Nanda. This poem is about her parents too. She's totally supporting Joost. Because of what happened to Joost, she became a therapist for children, also a childrens advocate, someone standing next to a young person when he/she needs (medical/mental) help.

[@AP-hr3qm]

​​​​@@Cherlindrea99 A New Art Movement, YES ! I really wondered and asked myself again and again, why and how they manage to harmonize all these weird things all the time, that would never ever fit together in normal day by day life ... It's absolutely fascinating.

[@jacquelinew5150]

Breaks my heart every time when he sings his song "Florida"😢

[@black4pienus]

Same. I just want to give him a big hug.

[@patricksnepscheut]

Joost is 1 big omoticineel rollercoster❤❤❤❤

[@evagoor]

Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. What I think is that Europapa is the 3 minutes compression of this show. It goes through all the stages of emotions what we see here as well. This is why it is so strong

[@AP-hr3qm]

That's what he wanted to achieve ☺️ Fascinating that this is even possible. I don't think there are many people who could have done it like that. And yet it's so, so different, incredibly different. Almost a completely different world or even a different universe ...

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

The dj is Tantu Beats, who wrote Europapa with him, one of his big friends and co writer of many other songs of Joost. At the end, he is the one who hughs Joost, while he sings Florida, sitting next to him.

[@AP-hr3qm]

He was in Malmö as well. And the "Michael" dancer was one of the white dressed dancers on the ESC stage, right? And all the others ... they really have their own universe, don't they?

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

@@AP-hr3qm that dancer indeed, is the same as in ESC Europapa. He made the whole geography, for the stage but also for some dance moves in the official Europapa trailer: the part Joost dancing with that 4 girls. He's a professional dancer. I am not 100 procent sure, but think I read somewehere, that the one who sings sweet dreams is Gover Meit, the stage director of Europapa / ESC. He's a theater artist of origine. They are all in Joost his close friends circle with Stuntje and Appie not to forget. ..

[@AP-hr3qm]

​@@corinevandenbosch4212 I think, I read something like that about Gover Meit too, but not sure 🤔

[@dennisb7851]

Respect for the way you have learned to recognize Dutch words, sentences and even play on words and getting what it means

[@evandijk76]

I was there, and by far best endshow of the last couple of years. 🧡

[@black4pienus]

100 million?? Holy wooden shoes, Batman! That's a lot! This dude knows how to party. And he's so likable because he's super real. He sings/raps about his own mental struggles and gives the audience a chaotic mix of humor, madness and sadness.

[@hellybelly5481]

Hi Paul, Joost said after a long time waiting for help (second song is Wachtmusic- music you hear while waiting during a phone call)in his case for help to deal with his traumas, in the last 3 years he finally got the right help at a trauma centre. He also said his crowd is his family. Make a Moshpit, be kind to each other, when someone falls you help the other, everything what’s happens here should be with consent, as consent, at my concerts everybody has to feel safe, his is a safe place

[@abralodge3082]

The guy who was dancing in the beginning - Michael Jackson style - is a Tik Tocker. You might recognize him from Eurovision. He choreographed Europapa and was one of the dancers on stage dressed in white. Joost collects talent and is loyal to them.

[@moniques6663]

Loved watching this 🫶

KZbin suggests this performance as my next video after anything I watch. It knows me too well.

😄 hope you enjoyed my reaction

[@abralodge3082]

@@DACHBenelux Very much! I was so excited when I saw it posted. I know I have left too many comments, but there is a lot going on! Everything he does has so much meaning and it is really wonderful when someone (you) takes the time to analyze and reflect upon it. Thank you for your excellent reaction. I always appreciate your videos on Joost, as well as your other videos.

@@abralodge3082 please leave as many comments as you'd like 😂 you can even leave the timecode of the parts you want us to check 😁

[@abralodge3082]

@@DACHBenelux I was initially trying to be concise, but I gave up on that! I will try to use time codes next time for any translations 🙂

[@mirjamb28]

Maybe before ESC Joost was mostly known under young people. Maybe 90% of the NL did not know him. Now 100% knows Joost😊

[@user-cq8sv6pf6p]

Super reaction, thanks man😘

[@hellybelly5481]

Thank you again! And for your football videos 😀🦁

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

He asks the crowd to scream: (vieze)... asbak: " dirty ashtray". Its the one without shirt. It's a Dutch dj and music producer, making so called Meme Techno or Hard Techno. ( the drops). With Joost he made Wachtmuziek (sped up) and Friesenjung (sped up)

[@abralodge3082]

Thank you to the person who funded this ❤❤

[@vrsnk]

Paul, that stage is named Alpha and located at the same location as Red stage of Defqon.1. The capacity is about 15000 people according to official information. But you can approximately count visitors during Joost's performance.

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

Yes, thats true: EBU messed up with the wrong guy! This is Joost his " business cart". His art! EBU did him so wrong. My appreciation for your words at the end of this video. You are able to sence Joost his soul! But its a pity that there where no subtitles because Joost his biggest talent is his unique word art. So fascinating: al his songs are poems. Anyways: the google translations never can do his word art right.

[@AP-hr3qm]

🫶

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

In " meeuw" he sings about /to the ones who were bullying him at school. Sings: " stop hating, stop teasing, stop bullying " looking into the camera. His complete soul is in this song: "I am in the intercity to hell" " I am flyer like a seagull means something in a combination of: I am a fugitive , I am a (high)flyer, I am floating (on turbulence). And if we compare those words to his ESC experience... 😢😢😢 I still think: how was it possible...

[@AP-hr3qm]

18:07 ... Yep. How much pent-up frustration and anger comes out of this outlet ...

[@AP-hr3qm]

18:28 I know that as a term that especially some Asperger autistic people use for themselves since like forever. And I like it ☺️

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

@@AP-hr3qm every word in Joost his songs has a ( hidden) message or a clue, so yes, it's possible he meant that!

[@abralodge3082]

Joost was born in 1997. 😂 He just appreciates good music.

[@mirjamb28]

Paulllllll,thank you for reacting to this epic liveshow. Indeed a rollercoaster of emotions. Always with Joost. I respect him so much for being able to let out all of his emotions on stage. He is teaching me to let go as well. Better then a therapist. Too bad the were no subtitles. Joost is a master with words. The shirtless guy on stage is called Vieze Asbak,in english: Dirty Asstray.

[@abralodge3082]

Vieze is behind the table for that song. He always covers his face. In English it is Dirty Ashtray. The shirtless guy is Parsa, who Joost has collaborated with.

@@abralodge3082 foutje van mij. Ik wat bijgeleerd. Bedankt voor de correctie, Abra. 😊👍

[@abralodge3082]

@@mirjamb28 Thank you for being so receptive. There is so much going on onstage and so many people involved in his music that it can get confusing 🫤 🙂

[@hellybelly5481]

He wanted to do a mosh pit at Eurovision but he wasn’t allowed or it wasn’t possible😂

[@AP-hr3qm]

😂😂😂 Did he say that at some point? Unfortunately, this would probably only be possible on screen at Eurovision. Not even a "moshpit choreography" is doable with the limited number of people allowed on stage - and in the audience it would certainly not be allowed.

[@abralodge3082]

Because I know the closed captioning doesn’t work I’m going to post this before I have finished watching. (I didn’t see that anyone posted it in the comments. Sorry if I missed it.) The speech he gives before Florida 2009: “Lowlands, I know the night is still young. Like a wise man once said, ‘The night is still young, like us forever.’ I ask a little patience, I ask a little silence. Because I want to share something with you. And I find this nerve wracking. I’m very nervous. I once wrote a poem right after my father passed away. I was about 12 years old. A year later I finished the poem, with a second part on the back (of the original poem). Grab/hold someone next to you, with consent. If you’re here with your friends, with your family. Even if you are alone, hold yourself. Once again, with consent. And Lowlands, I want to tell you the story of Florida.” The idea of him completing the poem a year later because his mother died is heartbreaking. His dad died of cancer when he was 12 and his mother when he was 13. (Cardiac arrest.) Also, people are saying that the shirtless guy on stage is Vieze Asbak (Dirty Ashtray). That is Parsa, who Joost has collaborated with. Vieze Asbak wears a red mask on stage. He is behind the table for his song.

[@DACHBenelux]

Wow, that speech makes it even more emotional

[@DACHBenelux]

Thank you for the translation!

[@abralodge3082]

@@DACHBenelux You’re welcome. Earlier, when he says this is one of the best moments of his life (trying to remember off the top of my head) he says, you can’t see it, but there is a tear underneath this makeup. (Not putting in quotes because I am paraphrasing.) The artist painting the canvas is Daan Koens, who has also been on a few songs. He is a great self taught artist. His work is very striking.

The song about seagulls is about being bullied

I am more fly than a seagull. This is the month of the century. Translated it's even funnier. lol

[@EricvanDorp007]

Somehow, you understand a lot of Dutch, 85% was right.

[@AP-hr3qm]

I absolutely agree with @EricvanDorp007 😃 As someone who learned to understand Dutch mainly by listening to the radio (and sometimes the TV, much later also some classes), it's great fun to see how you are progressing and learning Dutch through listening and using clues you find in various other languages. Way to go! 😃👍

[@hellybelly5481]

Last song he asked for patience because he wants to share something difficult……about his father and mother

[@Liesbeth-qm3ds]

EBU f#cked with the wrong guy ... you were right all along ... and your Dutch is getting better 😂❤

Again he’s hiding under a flag when getting emotional. Europapa is The small version of His Lowlands concert

[@AP-hr3qm]

Thank you so much to you, Paul and to you, the kind person who donated to make this reaction possible for all of us 🫶 ! Yes, subtitles, really working subtitles, would be great. But you really do understand a lot and you're right, that's exactly how I learned to understand Dutch too (radio and TV). You're doing great! For now I'll let the performance sink in ... as always after watching Joost on LL23, I'm at a loss for words afterwards ... But I'm looking forward to reading the comments, which I'm sure will provide deep insights. (Also, I think this recording covers most, but not all, of this performance? Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

[@DACHBenelux]

This was the full show 🤔

[@AP-hr3qm]

​@@DACHBenelux I know, but I thought it did cover the most but not every little thing. But maybe I just had snippets of private recordings in mind.

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

@@AP-hr3qm you are wright, there are snippets, little peaces of the show, that are not in the big video. Some inbetween the songs things are left out. One example: Joost lifting up his skirt on a sort of sexy way and dancing a kind of childisch funny for some seconds.

[@AP-hr3qm]

​@@corinevandenbosch4212Yeah, things like that ... and you can see it's edited. I probably notice this because I've gotten into the habit of paying attention to every little detail because it might have layers ... But there are no songs left out, right?

[@corinevandenbosch4212]

@@AP-hr3qm no I don't think songs are left out. What we see is the creative, professional way of making a music video through the eye of the head of the filmcrew. It's one of the few profesional recordings of a Joost performance. This recording was for our national Dutch music channel. The streaming numbers keep getting up to this day.

[@JennyVanStraalen]

Joost Klein not quilty in the proces we heard today

[@Adelaartje]

"Vieze Asbak!!" - Dirty Ashtray.. an object to fill with the ash of a sigaret, sigar, joint or whatever smelly burning object a person puts in its mouth. Why scream this word..? well, it's Joost. No explanation needed.

[@eggiex6297]

I can't talk because I scream 🤬

[@moniques6663]

He said open the moshpit and if anyone falls we help each other ❤

[@AP-hr3qm]

That's what I understood: "There are a few rules: You are at a Joost Klein Show. I have [ ??? ] family. But if you're standing here, you are my family. Understand?" _(Then he wants them to open one more moshpit.)_ "If anyone falls, yeah, you hear me? If anyone falls, we help each other!"

[@AP-hr3qm]

It's amazing how disciplined the crowd is in keeping to the rules in the chaos. Not only to help each other (Okay, that's unwritten law everyone knows), but also: 26:31 "Blijf van de artisten af!" (Stay away from the artists!)
