After watching all of your videos, I am honored to be part of one. Thanks for actually looking into my art. Weirdly enough it made me shed a tear. Blessings and LOVE!!!! 💙
-
Joost's story is even more painful now that he's disqualified
-
Who is here because of "Luchtballon"?💪🏻🤣 Someone said the Outro of the song is from this Video, so I had to check it out 😊
-
"And maybe, he can finally let go of the trauma that has fueled his art from the beginning. Who will he be without it? That chapter hasn't been written yet." DUDE he featured these words in his new song 'luchballon'!!
-
I deeply respect what Joost is trying to do with "Europapa". Eurodance can be meaningful and trashy. This is such a jam.
-
After watching this deep dive I am now scared of how the disqualification might influence Joost... Both mentally and artistically
-
One got zero televote points and one got disqualified. This is a sad video in hindsight.
-
Am I the only one thinking this video needs a post-Eurovision sequel?
-
well, this aged well.
-
It’s weird coming back and hearing that Joost has sampled this video at the end of his new song. Absolute king behavior on both sides
-
Watching this video after the announcement that Joost does not get to perform due to (allegations of) "agressive movements" from Joost to a camera crew is so unreal. It feels so unfair that the EBU gets to take away such a core moment within Joost's life, over such a small thing. It shows once again (to me) that big organisations really give horse crap about people's wellbeing & mental, while acting so pretentious wholesome at the superficial layer. Ridiculous. Joost, in the rare event you'll read this: You've done an awesome job at the eurovision, don't let some bullies from the EBU ruin that memory for you.
-
Mans got sampled by Joost on his last song, insane
-
"Isn't this entire song about how Joost is an International Klein?" SENT me, omg,
-
After Eurovision this film is even more tragic
-
Aruban here, we’re also really proud of our Joost Klein! He may be Frisian but he speaks with the backing of the entire Dutch kingdom behind him.

I am a Dutch person who normally does not care at all about EuroVision (I did not even know it was coming up, if you can believe it). I thought the entire show was just a collection of intentionally bad vapid pop. This video randomly came up in my recommendations and I figured I'd give it a watch, basically just to laugh at whatever nonsense we sent in this time, and how you could possibly fill half of an 50 minute video talking about it. I couldn't be more wrong, I found this to be an amazing video. It managed to make me actively care about the outcome of the EuroVision, when previously I had no idea about the range of genres represented in the show, let alone the underlying emotions behind many of the songs. My expectations were thoroughly shattered, and the level of research in this video (and several of the others I have watched since then) impressed me almost as much as the Frogger joke. Seriously, that one had me laughing so much I had to pause the video. Then right after watching this video I decided to google Joost to see how well he was doing, and found out that he was disqualified 15 minutes earlier??? :( What a damn rollercoaster of emotions. Unbelievable. My opinion as a brand new EuroVision aficionado may be of limited value, but I wish him much strength after this. The song is an actual banger that I am sure will live on long past this moment. Keep up the good work Joost and Overthinking It!

43:14 "...and Europapa might not get a lot of love from the juries" IF ONLY HE KNEW HOW RIGHT HE WAS
-

-
For an American being able to get this so spot on is amazing. Did not know Americans were into Eurovision at all. Great work!
-
Both of them made Eurovision history. One by being disqualified, one with 0 points from televotes... Story ended with the plot twist I guess.
