I didn't think the song that would make me tear up this season would be Joost's but the ending 😭😭😭 the message is so touching and it's a bop, been growing on me every listen
The Dutch have never dutched as Joost is dutching here. Love it!
You should have been there in the 90's
@@UndercoverPirate69 Not everyone is a boomer, boomer
@@YMilkshakeProbably Gen X. I don’t think Boomers were into Happy Hardcore.
Joost Klein is Groot! He dedicated this song to his father who died when he was 12 years old. His dad taught him that the world has no true boundaries. His mother died when he was 13. He is a HUGE inspiration to young folks, he is such a legend. The world needs more people like Joost. He has gone through so many challenges in life it is a true inspiration to see how he deals with it. Joost Klein is Groot!
DROOM GROOT ❤❤🥇
Its about, he tried to find himself back. Travelling trough europe. As a orphin. And his dad told him to live his life. Euro papa=dad in dutch.
Omg... that touching plot twist at the end... it's something we had never seen at Eurovision. There are so many interesting acts this year and I wonder which ones will qualify.
All of them!!! 🇭🇷🇪🇪🇫🇮🇦🇹🇳🇱
@@andreasmaurer138 E s t o n i a !!! ❤️🇪🇪
absolute banger !! with a deep message behind it. will do wonders for the netherlands
Don't think so honestly
its literally about his dad :D europa papa = dad
@@SC-bq7ob
Thats my winner. I had goosebumps at the end too
this is another 90s Europop/Eurodisco throwback, but it is a bit better than Finland.
Yeah I'll listen to this more than Finland- for sure, but I was anticipating sometihng a little more out-of-the-box
to explain the burning picture etc, his parents died when he was almost a teen, first he lost his dad to cancer then his mom to a heart attack. his dad espacially was his hero , and this song is for him
Love it. Finally some happy hardcore / gabber (which is typically Dutch) to Eurovision 🔥
I don’t know what people want, do they want positive energy or a more agressive vibe as in BL. I think this song is an experience, it kept me glued to my screen untill the end, thanks for your comment ❤
I was not expecting the gabber bridge near the end. I'm here for this
Love the song, my number one. 12 points for The Netherlands.
When Joost was annoucned I knew people with either love it or hate it... The hardcore part is very much Dutch culture and I'm happy he is bringing some Dutch culture to Eurovision. With Belgium, Austria and Switzerland in our semi (where he is famous) must be enough to qualify. Which is already enough to shut off a lot of hate he gets from Dutch people at the moment :)
This is without a doubt a sure qualifier. Joost has over 2.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify. If he makes a post saying "Vote for me!!!" hes getting in. I think that because he is so well known across Europe that he's guaranteed left side of the scoreboard in the final. The only caviat is that the juries might destroy him. But he is definitely top 10 in the televote.
That often does not work at Eurovision, a lot of well known artists have flopped
this style or euro techno dance wasn’t just big in Europe in the 90’s, it was super popular here in Australia. I’m having super flashbacks to my teenage years and I LOVE it!
I think this is even better than baby lasagña
As a dutchie, this song makes me proud to be Dutch for the first time in my life. Unfortunately most people won't understand what the ending really means...
Hoe oud ben je ? Dat je nu pas trots bent om Nederlander te zijn 😂
You talked so wisely that I cannot disagree. I loved this song, I cry everytime in the end, and would love for this song really to be blown everywhere. Thank you for the thoughts and inputs.
Yes there is some german beside dutch!!! It‘s more german than the german song itself😢
Eep! you said it not me LOL. Germany could have given us Katze which would have been a nice showcase of German.
@@AlesiaMichelle Yes. And every time I think about that, I’m getting even more sad. But hey, a few german sentence’s since years in Eurovision.😂😭
@@AlesiaMichellei loved the katze song ❤
love this song very much its and banger my country netherlands are slaying
Finally!!!! A pure quality song, twelve points to the Netherlands
Jesus😅
Europapa actually means Europe Daddy or Euro Daddy haha! So happy we're bringing happy hardcore gabber and hakken dancing to the Eurovision stage!
Yeah I think the title is clear. LOL [slash Idk who would be confused about the title]
@@AlesiaMichelle Definitely love everyone who also made the europop connection because I wish that were intentional 😂 but it's still hella accurate
We staan er weer mooi op jongens.
Zeker!! 5,9 miljoen weergaven op RUclips, 5,2 miljoen streams op Spotify en 6e bij de bookmakers. 🕺🎉
The brief story of Europapa by Joost Klein:
His parents died when he was a kid. His father to cancer at the age of 12, and his mother to a cardiac arrest at the age of 13. So he was orphaned at age 13 and brought up by his brother and sister.
Joost has written Europapa as a letter to his father. His father told him the world has no borders. Borders are made up by humans and so you can create your own world, and that’s what Joost is doing every day from that day on.
After the death of his parents, he started searching for the meaning of life and relief of his pain by traveling, but never actually found it there. He gave people money (psychologists) to help him, but that did not work. Until he realized that he still had time and options to realize his dreams. After all, the world has no borders right? And so he did.
The burning house in the end represents losing but also moving on, in a positive way. Burning your bridges: no longer controlled by pain + sadness, but focused on your dreams. Without borders.
Joost always said to his parents that one day he would go to Eurovision and that day is here and now. 12 points for The Netherlands!
Letterlijk iedereen comment dit, ze weet het onderhand wel (als ze t wil weten)
Europapa is standing for “Europe” and “Papa”. Papa is what we call our dads and “pops”, love seeing the word play that you found in it using europop! ❤ 12 points to the Netherlands! 💛
Banger! 🎉
At JESC the Netherlands have a lot of joyful songs which are staged amazingly so I wont be scared for that
Joost designed the suit himself 👊🇳🇱🇳🇱👍🔥🔥🔥
I love it. My top 2 🏆❤️
This has made me both dance and groove while bawling my eyes out and for that I love it
If you wanna know what to expect of his stage, i suggest watching one of his many live performances!
switzerland and netherlands slayed so hard
cyprus just exists…
The funny thing is that Joost is a fucking hero on stage. He's rocking festivals and all.
The video and styling will normally not be that expensive. Joost makes the video himself with his friends, the producing did hé himself with his friends. The clothes are designed and made by himself and hes friends. They are just a big group of multitalented friends and Joost is the face of that. I also think you better watch again with the subtitles. Its kind of a tragic song about an orphan travelling trough Europe looking for happiness after hé lost his parents. Its way deeper then all the other "funny" songs. Btw. The staging will probably also be totally created by Joost and his friends. If you ever watch his videoclips and live shows (which are also totally created by him and his friends) i dont think you have to be afraid. Maybe its the first time the Netherlands can sit back and make Joost and his friends do all the things they want.
Finland should be worried 😅
I have a huge feeling this might be an insane black horse song due to the incredible 90s nostalgia it gives, way more than any other entry this year, and can get incredibly good televote.
Don’t forget windows 95 Man if we’re talking 90s nostalgia AND possibly Austria
@@AlesiaMichelle that's true but windows 95 gives more joke vibes, the hard style music in this entry was really big all over Europe
for me this is way better than croatia and finland
Keep in mind we've seen both of those live, which give them a little edge PRE-rehearsals... I am ready for this live.
He's very famous for great live performances. @@AlesiaMichelle
Its way better on what basis. Just curious to see what ticks your box😊
Joost klein, droom groot.
"You see dad? I have listened to you..." That last line is very heartelt: it's an oath to his parents (which he lost early) and among his best childhood memories are watching the #eurovisionsongcontest and that resonates a lot with me. He's picked up and taken over the message of his late father. Hope my kids can say the same to me one day.
And it's not really the music, but the fact that it is the only yearly thing that a good chunk of Europeans (and people worldwide in general) are doing simultaneously together: watching a yearly, international, entertainment show. Whatever you think of the quality, it's still better than what Europeans shared decades before that with one another: war and conflict.
Normally this isn't really the kind of song I love, but out of all of these "fun songs" this year, this might actually be my favorite when I compare it to Finland or Estonia for example. Also loved this blue outfit, I wouldn't be mad if he actually wore that on stage. This really represents the dutch music scene authentically and I love when country really are authentic on this level.
Also the S10 cameo was a nice surprise, still listening to her music
I think this can win
He will qualify and then get a lot of points from Germany, Switzerland and Austria (at least when it comes to televoting)
This is great on so many different levels, I have to admit, I was skeptical when he was announced, I'll take it back 😅❤
The nineties are OFFICIALLY back
I love that you can anticipate that endearing ending in the way he says the -“papa” part of “Europapa” in the chorus. Yes, this sounds like a “bro party” song but I had expectations that Joost Klein is going to deliver much more than that. And he does!
Is this a potentital televoting winner? 🤔 I expect something big in the stage. The public will go crazy!
Lotsa direct competition tho. The live will really impact this.
Winner alert
great video, but It was hard for me to follow. I often got distracted. Let me explain: you know the "waiting for the DVD logo box hitting the corner"-thing? I got the same thing but now I was waiting for the double light circles to line up perfectly centered in your glasses.
I'm so worried about the staging lmao. Both recent non-ballad entries NL did (Birth of a New age and Outlaw in em) I don't think the staging was as strong as it could be. NL does well with minimalist ballad staging.. but we'll see.
Glad I’m not alone in this slight fear
Joost has some surprises in store for us, says Toine van de Nieuwenhuizen head of the Dutch delegation, so wait and see… Both Joost and Toine are very experienced when it comes to putting together big shows. I’m not worried yet.
Waylon (outlaw in M) was very stubborn and it showed 😢, Jeangu’s staging, was off, but at the time AVRO/TROS was busy organising an ESC-show within Corona-restrictions, they didn’t give it a lot of priority.The Netherlands has a completely new creative team now, and Joost brings his own creativity with him. I’m not worried yet. We will see ❤❤. Last year the song was okay, but the performance wasn’t, on the other hand the camera angles and staging were quite good.
Am I too crazy to entertain the idea that Finland is not qualifying? Sounds like a sure fire Q to many, but it's a potential NQ for me.
I liked your in depth analysis. Gives some great insight in how non-Dutch people might receive this track.
This is good!👏👏👏👏 Its waaaay betteeet than Baby Novoice , honestly
We'll see how it lines up at the final but my itch is that Croatia will have the edge.
@@AlesiaMichellecould be, but they need to make it sound less like Rammstein’s dikke titten, but there’s still time
A big no from me, I don’t dislike the message, I like the fact that he sings in dutch, but the music is simply dumb
By the way, i rally like your way how you construct your opinion , I find you kinda classy
He dedicated this song to his parents. Europapa papa of vader.
Joost is all a true performer, he will rock the stage. But it's all about how the stage is filled and whether they can send the actual underlying message across, if that works well, we have a top candidate here. Yes, this isn't just any goof-song, it has an actual message that shouldn't be overseen too much.
It is a true work of art, it is filled with so many hidden gems that go unnoticed, especially for those who aren't Dutch. But in short, papa is Daddy in dutch, and all the musical transitions go from the old-school house, dance, and EDM to Gabber and New Kids "Hey Jonguh", the Red Bull outfit, the last supper a.m.m. (the referrals are obvious imho but I'm Dutch). It is a work of art! And I'm proud of him.
But I think the backstory is so important to really understand it that might be the only downside, perhaps he will have something up his sleeve?! Perhaps he will have an English version for the EVSC?!
Can't wait to see it live on stage at the EVSC :)
What is going on? Maybe I'm living in this bubble but I was surprised how my friends reacted. Being the only ESC-fan. May 11th is booked because everybody is so excited about this song. I have to note: they all lived in Rotterdam during the 90's while I lived the mellow style in Amsterdam. And we're talking about people who are all 50+. Still looking for the best place to watch it all together but I'm a bit overwhelmed. This didn't even happen with Arcade (with different friends)! I had to explain to them it could possibly win. And now I maybe have to disappoint them? Or not? I'm a bit confused right now. But as I say.... probably in a bubble. A nice one.
Switzerland > Netherlands > Cyprus
Not going to lie, I kind of expected more. I think the song is super endearing and has some catchiness in the chorus but I feel like it needs something more because sonically it didn't go anywhere. I like it but it just isn't as esc competitive as I had hoped. Mid table for me with good staging. Hope the staging leans into the kitsch and has a meme-able dance because this is just begging to be paired with some funky moves.
Unfortunately I feel nothing for this song.
I think the last time Netherlands staged something fun was 2012? We all know how that went.
Anyway it's very Dutch; I'm one of the Dutch people who really aren't into this style, but there's definitely a layer of melancholy here that's interesting. And that last part hits hard. So we're not entirely ditching our "tradition"🙂
True true
Don't worry about the staging. Joost is more like a artist than a singer. Besides his song, i can garantuee you that he will have the best staging of them all.
His dream is that Eurovision allows a mosh pit. Probably not, but otherwise it will be in his performance to.
Try to be a bit more modest, we (the Netherlands) are very changeable when it comes down to staging. I know Joost is very creative and the same goes for his team, and although it’s promising you can only wait and see ❤️ But the best…
Liked this alot just because its damm Dutch! And some small trnaslations: Pa means dad papa too this is basically made for his passed away parents. the end part: AT the end of the daywe are all just humans my dad told me once its world without ends(borders) I miss you every day thats what i sometimes whisper, See me dad i did listen to you
Im really sorry .. Im sad for his loss but i don't feel anything for this song !
Funny bc I love listening to the studio cut of No Rules! (especially for running) rather than watching the NF performance which made me kind of cringe at the time 😄 was too much of a mess for me
But honestly if both of Joost and W95M's performances were perfect on stage on the big day, I would give some of my 20 votes to Joost for the general intention behind the song if that makes sense 🤔
Engolish subtitles available my dear.
Im soo curious about the points, cuz Joost has a lot of fans in Germany, Austria ect
Already!!
🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 whoop !!!!!!
I have to be honest. I love the meaning of this song because it's about resisting against change and the meaning of borders. And what his father told him. Because I do not like hardstyle (gabber) I find it difficult to really like the song. My friends will love it because they have lived the hardcore style in Rotterdam. There is room for the final but with some tough competition.
Typical love it or hate it song, we will see if those who actually vote like it.
This kinda feels like a Dutch entry written for the Dutch audience, but it lacks something to clearly stand out to me. It feels like it wants to be fun and hits hard but the hard hitting part is missing.
If the Dutch song had been presented before Finland's, we might have enjoyed it more. At this point, we're feeling a bit saturated by upbeat entries.
Agreed for most of it, except I don’t think it will qualify, Finland and Estonia do have the edge for the funny song
Disagree, Finland is definitely the weakest of the 3 and is the only one that I would classify as a joke song this year. Besides Finland is in the 1st semfinal, this is in the 2nd
@@sav0001 yep.
This is quite weak, I am glad Croatia is still the winner. By the way, according to bookies 14 % Chance Croatia can win, Ukraina 14 % . Lasagna keeps climbing up . Netherlands has 1 % of chance
Go lasagna go 🎉😊
It’s a Croatian betting collective hyping it up, they did the same last year😢
This one is a bit cheesy and dated but it's so fun and catchy I really don't mind
I have to correct you, its not europop but Europa like Europe is called in Europe
The title of the song is Europapa- and the genre is giving EuroPOP: it’s an intentional play on words.
Hey! I really like your video but I think you should change something about the way you mix the sound. The song was very quiet and sounded like it played from far away, I could not here the last part at all. While your voice in comparison was quite loud so I didn't want to turn up my audio.
Nonetheless a great video!

@@st-ew8337I see, thanks for explaining!
Zong hij ook over stromea?
I was teenager during the early 90's when 2 Unlimited and Scooter and Love parade CD compilations were a thing. It was my least favorite subgenre of EDM - yes it was unmistakebly Germanic (there was even an German counterpart of MTV called Viva 1, who mostly played that kind of music) but I have to say, also very cringe for me, although we didn't use the word. Sadly, this entry brings back those memories. I get it's not a joke entry, I'm glad the Dutch people like it and are satisfied with the choice, but I don't like it at all.
As a song I would listen I think I prefer finland to this so far, that one is a lot catchier. There are things I like about this one but they come a bit too late into the song. That being said, live it may turn out better than finland, we will see
he sings more in german as germany and austria together xD
don't like this song much as it comes across as a joke entry honestly think it's not gonna qualify to the grand final
There's something wrong with this song, the lyrics has a double interpretation, I think you're feeling hesitation. Because you prefere talk about other songs.... For me is a No. I'm not convinced, maybe I just don't understand deutsch...
Nothing makes sense about your comment? Please read the meaning of the song and come back afterwards
Dutch 🇳🇱🔥🔥
Deutsch is German. Nederlands is Dutch .
Baby lasagna is better, at least to me ❤
Better than Cha Cha Cha televote contender for the grand final
Nope note giving it to you. You got reverb and reverb but this is a memory of reverb. Not gonna dig it.
I prefer Finland by far, I'm not feeling this song at all :/
Well that's kinda what I'm getting at in the video. LIVE Finalnd has an edge. But for me personally: this is the studio cut I prefer.
Absolute fjn song. It's definitely gonna qualify, even though Estonia might end up higher than this.
DONT FORE GET STAND WHITE UKRIAN
this seems diluted and made for eurovision in a bad way
What
You clearly dont know him or his music
That is Finland, not this
It a ok song but i dont think its going into top 10
Baby Lasagna CROATIA😊❤❤❤

Euro garbish, bah bah ! 👋
Don't cry so much
The stupid faces he makes, the weak production, and the tonal whiplash to get sympathy does absolutely nothing for me.
