EUROVISION 2024 REVIEW: Netherlands

Alternative title: The Dutch Europapa

Today we’ll be looking at the 5-time Eurovision winner and one-time JESC winner. Here is the Netherlands’ entry: Joost Klein — Europapa

26-year-old Joost Klein (November 10, 1997) is a Dutch musician, rapper, and former YouTuber. He was selected to represent the Netherlands on December 11, 2023, with his song Europapa released on the official Eurovision YouTube channel on February 29, 2024

We have to have a song poking fun at Europe as a whole every once in a while, so I thank the Netherlands for fulfilling it. The beat is sick tho. I can’t wait to see how he stages this, but this is one of those songs that needs to be in the final no matter what, so let’s make it happen. And, yes, upon reading his bio and the translated lyrics for the song, I am aware of the sad undertones, and I send him my condolences. 8/10 from me

Joost will perform 16th (and last) in the 2nd semi-final on May 9, after Norway

Live Performance

Tomorrow, we’ll be screaming from the rooftops in Portugal
