- Australia's 2023 @EurovisionSongContest entrant, the progressive synth-pop metal quintet VOYAGER are giving their ninth-most qualified takes on the 2024 Eurovision official entrants!
It's been recommended to us to no end, so we're finally having a goosey gander at the daddiest track this year from the Netherlands' own @joostklein1 - Europapa!
Which seminal 90's dance act gets a shout out here? What's the worst thing that could happen to a Nutella sandwich? Can we think of an amazing name for an all natural bodybuilder? All the questions you didn't (and still probably won't) know had anything to do with this song!
From us,
to you...

6:15 As Joost said after his Eurovision in Concert performance:
"Thank you for coming to my therapy session."
NF would have a word about that 😁
#joostice
Joost his dad, died from cancer when he was 12. His mom 8 months later by an hart attack, that's the reason for the end. Greetz from Holland.
Greetings from the Netherlands* Netherlands is said 100 times in the video and you still say it wrong lol.
Knowing that, it legit gave me goosebumps
Not only that. When his dad died his mom took it really badly and had to be admitted for a while. During that time Joost went back and forth between his older brother and sister's place. When he went to visit his mom once he was the one who found her lifeless body
@farrahmayforkan4412 Nope, cancer (dad) and a heart attack/cardiac arrest (mom)
He used to watch Eurovision as a kid, with his dad and was his wish to one day be on stage and his dad said something like "You can achieve anything you want, if you work hard enough". He lost his dad when he was pretty young and the song is pretty much him saying "Look papa, I made it".
Yeah he lost both parents by the age of about 14, his dad and mom within a one year span.
You need to read the back story. The song is about the loss of his parents and his emotional journey.
We approach these as first time viewers/listeners without any backstory (unless we've had spoilers). This is the mannner in which most Eurovision viewers watch the final. It's more fun to do it this way and then read the back story/lyrics later to really get that "a-ha" moment and start to connect more deeply with the song.
@voyageraustralia Cool, thanks for the clarification. 😊
I heard that just before Joost starts to perform the host will take about 5-10mins to explain to 200milion people the whole backstory of this song. You know, just like on the xfactor.
@@voyageraustraliaI'm sure the live version will be awesome and Joost will be more clear about the meaning of his song. They'll be rehearsing the act tomorrow. So in about 24 hours we'll know more 😁 Thanks for your reaction! Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands ❤
That was my immediate thought. But then I changed my mind as it’s only us Eurovision nutters who bother looking any deeper into the story and unless people get the message about the song from their commentator, they’ll be judging it on what they see (and don’t understand as so few people speak Dutch). I still think it’ll do really well on the night.
This song has a deeper meaning. 'Papa' is translated 'dad' in dutch. Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was 12 and his mom a year later because of a cardiac arrest. When he was younger he watched the Eurovision with his parents and said “I’m gonna sing at Eurovision one day”. Joost sings that no matter where he goes or what he eats, he can not escape the pain of this loss. In the end he says goodbye to the pain of his loss by burning the photo, without losing the memory. This song is also an ode to Europe. His dad told him that it’s a world without borders, because borders are invented by humans. And that you can create your own world. The dance break is gabber music - a music style that was invented in the Netherlands, and the sub genre is called happy hardcore. Bringing a personal loss, the feeling of Europe and the dutch culture together; that is art.
The lyrics have a lot of layers:
Europe let’s come together!
It’s now or never!
I love you all!
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Visit my friends in France
Or take a long walk to Vienna
I want to leave the Netherlands
But my passport is gone
Fortunately don't need a visa
To be with you
So take the bus to Poland
Or the train to Berlin
I have no money for Paris
So use my imagination
Do you have a euro please
Say "merci" and "please"
I lost everything
Except time
So am travelling every day
For the world is mine
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
Ich bin in Deutschland
Aber Ich bin so allein
Io sono in Italia
but still I feel pain
Am running from myself
Calling for "help!" all day long
Yes I even give people money
But there is no one to help me
I don't need es-car-gots
Don't need fish 'n chips
Don't need paella, no
I don't even really know what that is
Turn on the radio
I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai"
Won't stop until they say
"Yes, yes, he does that very well ey!"
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa….
Welcome in Europe boy!
At the end of the day
We are all human beings
My father once told me
It's a world without borders
I miss you every day
Is what I secretly whisper
You see dad
I listened to you
Is what I secretly whisper
You see dad
I listened to you
i feel like papa means dad in every single language atp
@@astorialands3586papa = daddy 👍
I love the Dutch entry this year, its so extra. As someone who is half dutch but born in Oz i loved the Juiced Clean pronunciation 😂❤
I like the combination of irony and sincerity in this one. I had the same look on my face as Danny when I watched it the first time... Definitely worth reading a translation of the lyrics too. Keep up the good work Voyager, would love to hear you review Armenia if there's time 🙂🤘
Again Voyager with the best Eurovision reactions. This song hits way too hard. Love the pukish hardstyle and then a bit of that Dutch slap-in-the-face candidness. Europe in a nutshell
Joost is an artist who create music with double meanings. The beat you heard is a party but it’s actually a sad song about his parents. Many people who don’t speak Dutch they miss interpreter the song. But the stage director of The Netherlands said we are all going to see a total different side of this song. So people could understand the message even without speaking Dutch.
Yay!!!
JOOST!!!!
He got the moves!!!!
Welkom in Europa jonguh!!!
Hakkkkkkkuh!!!!!!🎉❤
Can you tell that i'm from the Netherlands?
Never clicked on a video faster than this when I got the notification
Loved your reaction and your clever interpretation because this gives us a clearer image of what viewers might understand without the context. 😊 Could you do a follow-up to this after reading about the context of his orphan story and with turning on the English subtitles?
no need to read, just rewatch it with CC subtitles on, period
Belgium 🇧🇪 loves Joost Klein ❤ 12 points to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 . Pure Art
Wow that ending literally took the wind out of your sails as it did me the first time I heard it as it wasn't expected.
As for Alex's potential health & safety concerns (which he seems to be slacking these days), a burning windmill...speeding mobility scooters... those shoulder pads that one false move and they could knock you out. Could you imagine the chaos on stage with all that going on! Getting Danny's car on was no mean feat but a flaming windmill? Seriously though good luck to Joost and all at Eurovision 2024. Love your reactions, cheers. 😃😃😃
😃😃
Not only is the song amazing, this reaction was amazing aswell.
My 2 eurovision winners in 1 video made my day ❤
'At the end of the day we are all human. My dad once told me the world has no borders. I miss you every day I whisper to myself. You see now dad, I did listen to you'
Translation to the last part of the song. Love frome the Netherlands ❤
They said the live performance is inspired by Kaarija's performance and by Salvador Sobral's (Portugal, winner 2017) so I'm guessing they kept the ending :-)
I'm very excited for his performance and I really hope it'll be great
The song - its dedicated to his dead parents @ the end
Award For Worst Pronunciation of the Yeat 2024 goes too....
Scott with Juiced Clean
Calling Doomsday blues Doomsday bloody true blue mate also should get an award 😂
I am still giggling at "emo papa"
it's been a good 10 minutes 🤣
Good observation of the resemblance with 2Unlimited.
I love how you all really seem up for meeting the music where it's coming from. It can be rather rare nowadays, as many people would criticise any song that doesn't fit into their favored genre. Regardless of genre and style, you all are willing to recognise when songs have achieved what they set out to do, which is what should be the most important.
Banger alert 🔥 my country Netherlands 🇳🇱 slaying
I really hope when 🤞🏼Australia gives 12 points to The Netherlands, Scott Kay will say: “Juiced Clean, 5 sandwiches ❤”
Such a great reaction, I like how uncensored you say what you're thinking 🤩
Thanks Voyager ! You made all 30.000 Dutchies in WA really happy with your rolmops broodjes (sandwich) review!
Did you watch the Windows95Man music video - that has more of the 90s dance party feel like in Europapa. (W95M also have Spa mix in the style of Enigma plus the orchestral version with Tapiola Sinfonietta with a totally different vibe).
You guys are fucking hilarious lmao
Goddam you, Voyager, I've been calling Joost Klein "Juiced Clean" for a solid week now 😂
Now we need a reaction to Croatia!
This song came by after youtube carried on from another reaction you did, and my first view was the same as yours! WTF, followed by going looking for the meaning. I'll be really interested to see how it goes at Eurovision. As for Team V, you are fab, as usual! Thank you for working so hard getting these ready for us with all the fun extras!
Love your reactions, can't wait to see them all 😃
Ja ja! I just love this song's energy. Yes the bit in the end is a tribute to his deceased parents.
Joost actually designed his blue costume himself!!
And it's so good! I love the pants
A dutch boy on youtube broke down this entire video with explanations and omg there is SO MUCH double meaning in these lyrics !
If you hear the song without Joost's backstory, it's just fun and a good laugh...
but if you hear all the things he's had to go through in his lifetime you'll be amazed at the sheer scope of it.
"I don't need a visa in order to be with you" - he's talking about the fact that he has his parents with him in the spirit world, and all he has to do is think about them in order to "be with them"
"I truly lost everything but time"
- after both his parents died, he was actually homeless, he had nothing, he lost his parents and his home and all his belongings
"I want to leave Netherlands but my passport is missing" - again a subtle "nod" to him being homeless and having literally no identity card
The Stromae Papaoutai reference is a song like this where the singer misses his dad who died way too soon
Hopefully that sheds some light onto the lyrics. The video in and of itself is worthy of another full explanation 👏
Please, could you share the channel that posted this video you mentioned?
Yes! I was waiting for this one, but apparently I haven’t been paying attention😁
You guys are hilarious, I hope you will continue to do this (still picking myself up from the floor after ‘cries in Europapa’ 😅👌🏾)
Seeing these reacts are just so wholesome. Seeing the enjoyment of music.... and the Kaarija shirt I'm just living for.
Inb4 Joost himself comments something like: Yes dat guys song is very good
I've been sooooo waiting for your next video, and it's sooooo funny!!! love you and please keep them coming ❤❤❤ much love from Germany
you guys juiced me clean w that review, than again you always do the trick . Thanks for takin that emotional rollercoaster. My recap You can travel freely in a Europe w/o borders but the pain of the loss of loved ones travels with you. Follow your dreams and make the ones you love proud. Carry the memories with you but also their lessons. Joost is no joke he is a survivor right through the pain to party on the eurovision stage...........everything is going to be allright in the end .... wink wink see what i just did there oh come on hand in the twelve points to us you know you want to
I love to watch your reactions and first impressions. Do you think you will finish reacting before the actual contest starts next week? :D
its hard to sit still on this song! it gets you!👻 it"s swing and emotion!!!🦘
This song has been stuck in my head since the week it came out.
The bold guy in the car is DJ Paul Elstak 🤘🏻
He baldly goes where no one has gone before 😁
@@Sahi_PK 😂😂😂
I was hoping Danny, as a self confessed car man you would be able to tell us the make and model of Joost’s wheels.
8:20 Windows95man has also made a music video, which can be found from the channel of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu. And there is also a Spa version and an Orchestra version with Tapiola Sinfonietta.
Also look the live performance in Tilburg . 😊
Can't wait for Croatia
love you guys, greetings from NL
Love yall takes on this song ❤
About the country songs: There's a team in the Netherlands that picks the Eurovision entries each year. So we have no say in it. That team happened to pick some artists with country songs a few years ago. The Dutch are way more into pop music and dj stuff. Although there is an area in the country called Achterhoek where the country genre is very popular. It's just not as popular anywhere else.
Funny you brought up 2Unlimited, they were Dutch as well
For a little background, joosts mom and dad both died when he was a kid.
The song is about how much he loves being able to travel wherever he wants in Europe without even a passport, but over the song he starts realising that no matter how much he travels he can’t escape from his problems and sorrows.
Then at the end he confronts his demons and thinks back to when his dad died
I found the song annoying until the end and I heard the story of his parents. It went from annoying to really clever and heart wrenching. It made it feel very human. I hope they don't pull back on that.
Scott: rates
Me: how long has Ash's half sandwich been on fire for?!
Awesome video guys, hope to catch you live some time!
Love this track. But also loving hearing this lovely bunch of humans hang out & chat sh*t as they do so well. See you in the UK when you can, Voyager xxxx
Hey Voyager🤗y'all definetly know what you're talking about and I myself go with your interpretation of that great entry from the Netherland👌♥️ - greetings from Germany
It is multi layered; one level just fun, also enjoying the Europe his parents left him, but also having to find his way without them and also seeing the europe they left him slipping away.
And five layers I missed;
Certainly takes you on a journey
Your reactions to the end were exactly the same as my reaction to the end. Almost word for word. That got dark. And then you read why and get sad.
I recommend watching his first live performance of the song as well, which is on Joosts own channel
Great breakdown of the song
Maybe you should have listened to the song with subtitles. 'I am running from myself, calling all the for 'help'. I even pay people money but no one wants to help me.' And that serious message sounds very happy with the Dutch happy.hardcore style.from the 90s. This is as Dutch as we can be 😊
Dat doen ze bewust niet, zodat ze een betrouwbaardere indruk kunnen geven van hoe de gemiddelde songfestivalkijker gaat reageren, die gaat ook niet de achtergrondinfo van iedere deelnemer opzoeken van tevoren.
Id love a rection to Sheppard's Australian submission entry too. Its so good ☺️❤️
Finally!
React to Baby Lasagna ❤️😽 he is one of the favorites to win this year
part of the answer for "why country music??" is 2014's Common Linnets performance. they came second, and after that Ilse De Lange, the woman of the duo, had a lot of say over dutch entries for YEARS. in fact, 2019's Duncan Lawrence was one of her mentees in a precious The Voice season!
? Ilse was maar twee keer betrokken, bij Duncan en haar eigen deelname
@@Maria_muziekjes douwe bob, waylon, haar eigen bijdrage aan eurovisie 2020
The meaning of the song reminds me of your song last year. A voyage that we are all on, which is individual to everyone, and which some Europeans did not get at first but you guys pulled it through for a well deserved top ten finish! If he can get the staging right this is a definite top five contender, due to the huge televote he should get, and he just needs to bring a great stage show and vocals to get some of that jury vote. Just a heads up I present a music show on my local community station RamFm 103.3 Goulburn eevry Sunday night and from 6pm to 10pm AEST, and I am half way through my top 200 songs of Eurovision countdown, however I am taking a break from the countdown this Sunday as I will be commencing the 3rd hour of the program with my favourite top five songs from Malom this year and at the top of the 4th hour I will play the top five in the betting markets.
Watching this after Eurovision 2024 like 😬😬😬
Juiced Klein !😂! Long, long, too long ago, when you yourselves participated in Eurovision, you were my absolute 12 pointer
Its a very entertaining song, yeah the ending is quite a surprise but I guess that's how life is, you have happy moments and then things can take a turn and they get dark.
It's nr 3 in the poles now, so, so far, not a bad choice to use that sad ending. It has another meaning then you guys think. But I'm sure someone already explained here.
❤❤❤ joost
You have Switzerland on your reaction list before the contest goes on? definitely would like to have your opinion on that. as well as Italy and Croatia's entries. that's the most hottest i am curious about.
Apparently Joost lost both his parents when he was a teenager and this video/song was a way to honour them both.
He is the real winner
As a Dutchman, I can't explain that country obsession in the Netherlands either.
The video has english subtitles..!!
Looking forward to Belgium and Portugal 😊
Juiced Clean 5 sandwiches!!!!
Maybe they wanted to ‘blind’ react to the songs but wish they had put the CC on so they could have read along with the lyrics!!!
Multiple songs they have little idea about because they haven’t looked at the translated lyrics 🤔
Like react without the translation so their opinions are unbiased then look up the translation?
Well the remark that the first half is sarcastic is a quite a good read on the song.
It's not really sarcastic, but it's a similar concept.
The ending strips back the pretences of the music and shows you what the lyrics were trying to say all this time.
I can’t believe that not one of you suggested that a magpie swooped in and cruely took the final bite of this Nutella sandwich.
You should have the subtitles enabled 🤔
Every line of this song has a deeper meaning and is about Joost's suffering after he first lost his father to cancer at a very young age and his mother to a heart attack a year later. What on the surface is a cheerful song is actually the opposite. There is a video on UA-cam (in Dutch) that explains almost every rule and the meaning behind it. ua-cam.com/video/y2H7aRiOXSM/v-deo.html
That was ace and bronzer mates! It was a rip snorter of a reaction video! Ta for this pressie. Now I devo feel like having a sambo for my brekkie 🥪 Juiced Clean is really a dag.
His story is dinkum. His performance… she’ll be apples if he keeps the U-ye. He will make a huge shin dig at Malmö. Even if Juiced doesn’t win, it’s a shoo-in for him anyway 🎉
It' interesting how Australian band will understand a songs that treats about bloody truly european things. When even European don't understand ;)
Why is it “interesting” Australia is made up of a lot of different cultural backgrounds including European we understand songs. We may be far away from Europe but we are the same people with thoughts and problems just like anyone else in the world. 😊
So the “curveball” at the end to my knowledge is an Outro that goes outside of the 3 minute limit, so I don’t believe they can keep it :( unless they do something clever like have it play as they leave the stage- is that even allowed? I agree with Danny, the last bit hit me like a tonne of bricks too (even moreso when you google the meaning- it’s a tribute to his parents who died)- but it somehow gives something that’s otherwise just a whole lot of fun some really unexpected weight, which is awesome to see in Eurovision. I also absolutely love that it’s in Dutch- what an absolutely beautiful and funky language. I’m dying to see Sweden send something in Swedish but I don’t think we’ll see that anytime soon 🤣 but home language entries hit so different, especially when the language is one you’re not really familiar with. Dutch sounds like haunted German to me and I’m so about it 🤣. I so hope you guys continue doing these in the future, as an Aussie I miss your presence in it this year so these videos are nice to see :)
@voyageraustralia I realise that you’re running out of time and can’t do them all but I’d love to see you reacting to rocking San Marino.
Joost❤❤❤12point 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Malaysia New Song Before Trending 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Steady gang - ( 周星翅Chou xing chi )mv👍🏻👍🏻
OMG I just realised Danny has a shirt of käärijä 😂😂
You should know that all the official ESC uploads have subtitles for the lyrics. Consider turning them on for the next one. Otherwise really entertaining stuff!
They won't at the final broadcast.
Please react to Electric Fields One Milkali who represented your country Australia this year
They said (in the livestream) that they wouldn't be reacting to the Australian entry because they would be really biased.
Ash got it!
"Juiced clean" 😂
Juiced clean lmfao
Please try and get a few more reactions videos online before the contest starts.
BEGGING ---> please, please please.
I would really love to see your reactions to Croatia, Switzerland, and Estonia.
Juiced Clean omg ahahahhaaha 😂
The end of europapa is dark because he lost both his parents and when he was little he told his parents that he would make it to the Eurovision song festival.
