Dutch Eurovision act Joost Klein barred from dress rehearsal as investigation launched | ITV News

- The Netherland's Eurovision act Joost Klein will not perform in a second dress rehearsal for the grand final while an investigation into an unspecified “incident” continues, the organisers have said.
A week of controversy and protest ended with crisis meetings and the mysterious suspension of the 26-year-old Dutch rapper who qualified at the Malmo Arena venue in Sweden on Thursday evening with his up-tempo song Europapa, a tribute to his late parents.
Israel's participation in Eurovision as the war in Gaza rages has meant politics has dominated an event which strives to be apolitical, with pro-Palestinian protests calling for a boycott of the competition.

The EBU not being clear about this is probably the most annoying thing about all this
Well he himself is not saying anything aswell.
But seeing as police is involved.. And he is not allowed to preform for the jury show.. It's safe to say he is out.
What happend? No one knows.
But the rumor is he did a Adolv H and hit a cameraman.

I think they are very clear about what happened but discuss what would be the lesser evil of actions to take. I've even heard rumors that somone from the Spanish team was attacked by one of the Israely delegation as well.
IMO while I like the song Israel put up, EBU should have excluded Israel this year from the competition because of its ongoing military operation against mostly civilian people. While ESC should NOT be about politics, we have strong political influences since 2015 where Russia was heavily booed in Vienna even thouth the artist, who had a really sweet and catchy song, wasn't responsible for any of the actions. I'm neither pro Israel nor pro Palestine. Both of them did their best to lead to the escalation we had to witness in the past few month and politicians had literally decades worth of time to settle the conflict in that region but didn't care back then.
it's looking like an EBU stick up since Joost was the most vocal about Israel (evidence is in the post semi final interviews) they'll find any excuse to exclude him

I believe its formally known as the Second Dress Rehearsal, but better known as the Jury Show for obvious reasons.
The jury show is officially called Dress Rehearsal 2 by the organisers.
If it was apolitical why did they stop Russia?
because ukraine is also in eurovision, that would mever be able to work
Disclaimer, I’m not in favor of Israel being included here in anyway
Cause by technicality, they didn’t declare their intentions for war with Palestine, rather they were “retaliating” in response to the October incident. It’s how ESC was able to keep Israel in the running, and under the guise of ESC being an apolitical event, could ban event goers and contestants from displaying any paraphernalia that was in support of Palestine for fear of causing outrage or even violence. They demanded Irelands contestant Bambie Thug from including an ancient Celtic writing that when translated spelt ceasefire that was included in her makeup for her number. The artist Eric Saade was able to work around and wore a keffiyeh on stage as he’s half Palestinian, but he’s been getting backlash by event organizers after his guest performance in the semifinals
It could have been a Christmas 1914 moment but some folks just love to hate.

The woman ignored it every time and was rude. He just pushed a camera away nothing happend to the lady.... EBU is not right in the head.
they give all these stars so much press and then have a problem when they say something. Ridiculous. It’s a song contest ffs, keep it as that.
You're saying it as if politics were never involved in Eurovision. Wasn't it last year that Ukraine won with a shitty song just because of the war?
Edit: they won in 2022, my point still stands.
@@Eteriaa politics was always involved. Press conferences asking artists their thoughts is still stupid though. It’s putting the artists in a predicament over whether they stay silent and are complicit or whether they use their platform.
Sadly, he was throwing shade at the Jewish artist. He covered his face when sitting next to her so that he didn’t have to see her. That is really tacky and really poor sportsmanship. So I wish she got kicked off for just that reason. However, I really like his song and want him to do well.

From Chatgpt: "The quote you mentioned is often attributed to Voltaire, the French Enlightenment writer and philosopher.

Obvious question, why are non European artists in the EUROvision contest?🧐
because 1sra3l bought its entrance ticket. they gave them money when EBU started in 1950. I have no idea why the british and ''those people'' are so intertwined but they are.
And why is England in it? No longer Europe. And why is it all music for clowns?🤡

@@wesselsi3791 Well, many Israelis spent several generations in Europe. So, "those people" may actually be Europeans also.
It seems to be an unfortunate choice of a name.
Official statement is out: 'An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clear agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This was not heeded. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police. Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed various solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AvroTros finds the measure very heavy and disproportionate. We stand for good manners, let there be no misunderstanding about that, but in our view an exclusion measure is disproportionate to this incident. We are very disappointed and upset, also for all the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe should not have ended this way.'
If ESC is an apolitical event, that how come that they banned Russia? Interesting how the rules are in effect only when they need it. Its disgusting. If they want strong policies that its should apply to all.
I wonder the same!!
Russia is not a country, its an empire and empires are not allowed in Eurovision because its a backwards state
I wish Russia returns to the contest. ❤
Because Ukraine said so. Deal with it. Before they banned Georgia FOR being invaded by russia. Which was wrong. Now it is right. This Dutch guy makes concerts in russia and sings how he loves it so will be canceled, you like it or not. B)
i'm generally not political , but i think warmongers should NOT be able to participate . and that includes russia AND israel. i literally have no side here, but fact is they both are killing people. and ..that's just not what the eurovision is about.

Unfortunately it will carry on for many years😢
Agree
I think there is not such thing as apolitical. Everything is politics in this world between nations and how they see the other nations. I saw the video camerawoman harassing Joost who asked several times her not to film. Woman didn't listen so Joost turned the camera away (not harming the woman ) who started screaming : Don't touch me ! several times. Well, I will predict this odd incident will be blessing in disguise for Joost. I checked his gig videos and damn he is good ! So let's book him for summer festivals.

By disqualifying Joost from participating in the final, the EBU declared him guilty even before the police investigation was completed. Talk about decent standards of behaviour....
Besides, if this anonymous camerawoman had simply respected other people's boundaries (something she herself, as a woman, probably shouts the loudest in life... hashtag metoo), none of this would have even happened. Talk about decent standards of behaviour.

Reminds me of Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel who was accused of assault the night before his big world championship race that he was expected to win…. An Australian judge later overturned the conviction, but hey, the race was already lost and his dream was shattered. Poor Joost man... the fact that AVROTROS strongly disagrees with it says a lot about how disproportionate this is, the investigation is still ongoing and that they don't know yet what happened, because they can't really know whether he is guilty, they thought that it was best not to let him perform, sory this is completely unfair, of course 'their house, their rules', but remember every country pays a lot of money to compete, One side says “disqualification”, the other side says “that is disproportionate”. And I'm sure the only way we'll find out more is if the prosecutors decide they want to pursue a case against him, or he and the associate come out and clear things up. I'm certainly not betting that the EBU will tell us, in any case Cornald Maas (Dutch commentator, also involved in the selection of Dutch artists and a really honest guy) said that the incident was not that bad and disproportionate, work-related harassment and Harassment has been a major topic in NL after scandals involving prominent people in the media I think Cornald would never support Joost so vocally if they weren't sure the disqualified was being unfair.

Eurovision used to be good for a laugh, not anymore though, 'United by Music', ? now that's funny.
Still confused why Israel are there
Yeah, they are so known for being apolitical 😂 even Belarusians were excluded for not wanting to denounce Rus, impose sanctions and al that. And no matter how much I like Ukr song, they are again allowed to send political messages. Selective same as always, depending on sponsors and their foreign policies. UK is one of the biggest contributors, and it shows.
OK, I’m in my mid 50s, watching this contest since I’ve been a child. Tell me ONE year where this contest has been apolitical. Just ONE year …
Oh, will the viewers have to choose sides and hate each other, as politicians and media teach as default reaction to every fight?
It wasn’t about having no boarders the song was about running away from your problems , his parents died when he was younger and this song was a tribute to his parents.
the greek lady was sick, she wasn't unimpressed she was just tired
Yes,she wanted everyone to notice how tired she is,poor girl😂
Please lets all vote for Joost and if he really gets disqualified then we need to boycot!
💯% agree!
Do you guys even know WHY he may be disqualified?
People say he fought a Swedish journalist or idk who, because people made jokes about his dead parents
@CL21x yes obviously
It was a fotographer apparently
This freak show is ready to end
I'm curious what the original contestants of the very first Eurovision in 1956 would make of this weekend's contest in 2024 if they were still alive.
Agree.
Nope,
but I'm about ready to stop buying repeat tickets.
Justice for Joost Klein🥺I will not watch eurovision anymore
noone cares
I see a great deal of manipulative talent in the lady journalist, who is subtly trying to link the disqualification of the Dutch journalist with Israeli shenanigans. Here's what happened. Despite an agreement not to film contestants leaving the stage, a camerawoman filmed Joost after his performance. His non-threatening gesture towards her led to his disqualification. It's important to clarify that this disqualification had nothing to do with Israel.
joost has already won in our hearts
No he hasn’t.
@@mikenorris7866 He has
@@TuomasRoinnot in mine, he is so weak and wants a safe space. When you can't stand the head, stay out of the kitchen.
If he really attacked someone regardless of the reason then he deserves to be punished, do you reallg expect them to just ignore this whole situation? This case has even been handed to the police
It's understandable that police is called in as independent authority to invest such allegations.
It doesnt say anything about wether someone is guilty or not. But yeah if he hit someone, even if it was after insults, then he went too far.
Would maybe still have been more fair to both keep them out of the practise round until further information was gathered.
If you insult me to the bone, you might feel the consequences as well ... horizontally
@@lanamereltube Of course a lot of people would do that, but it won’t be tolerated and should not be. If you get into a fight you should expect to be disqualified
It was said he did that because they made fun of his dead parents
@@unaihmg9352Even if that's the case, still doesn't make physical contact oke.
For me rhe big question is whether Switzerland would ha e won had the Netherlands competed. It is interesting he was disqualified AFTER the jury show. Was he disqualified to ensure a Swiss win in order to stop a likely Israeli win (which is how it would have looked based on the semi final televoting) . ITN should ask for the jury show scores including Netheelands to figure out what would have happened
Finely we know wath happened it was not aloud to filming backstage ! direct after joost his performance on his way to the green room and he ask the camerawpmen several times not to film she blocked the way to the greenroom for joost there was no time at all for joost , and then joost made a movement into her direction without a threat or touching her at all !! That's the reason joost is disqualified the EBU employees are bigger and more important than the artist !! the ridiculous thing is they started a police investigation and acting like joost rape her or attacked her this complete EBU staf must firered after this scandall imidietly
how nicely did you tailor the story to fit to your taste, let's ask the cameracrew what are their opinion about what had happened, shall we?
@@asgb752-belgium7 happened nothing that's why the EBU don't to give free the camera closeup , otherwise they are so afraid the world discovered that the EBU made on purpose a biggest mistakes / scandale ever into the history of the Song Contest wake up dude its just a ordinary me too girl full of selfpitiness who forced a complete nation ofside
The amount of hate against this beautiful artist is unbelievable!
No one deserve this hate! I haven't heard anything political from her. To hate or diss her like Joost did because of the politics of Israel is beshaming.
The hate is not against her it's against her country.
It’s protest against genocide, not against the artist.
You know that very well
that beautiful artist clearly took a political stand FOR the genocide of the Palestinians, when she first sand october 7, and then said that it's an honor to represent her country especially in a time like this. well, at a time like this, the palestinians have been fighting a just war against occupation. so what is is proud of exactly??? sorry, she's beautiful on the outside and a terrible person on the inside.
I mean If he asoulted someone I don’t see the point of keeping him there. And yes, even if it’s true that someone insulted him, in the eyes of the law you still are not allowed to kick someone.
You are also not allowed to harras someone. Which is also mentioned within the rumours. There is also a video about an Israeli journalist following him. And apparently there is also a clip of the Israeli crew making fun of the Netherlands during the flag show. Which would imply that the EBU in fact did not make Eurovision safe for all countries. Given that the Netherlands is completely behind Joost we might even see the country leaving Eurovision for good
@@ChiIIi...But also, hear me out, everyone booed the Israeli act and probably much worse. So it's a slippery slope if you go like that. That is also not ok. This competition has lost all its meaning a long time ago. Probably when Ukraine won with 1945. I mean, if there ever was a political song, that was the one. So, if the politics would just drop out of the equation it would be lovely. Also, all this nonsense about the pronouns, the obscene nudity and such things are so annoying. Stop with the bullshit and please let it be about the songs. Thanks EBU.
