Joost is very sad when he sings the last part, which is about the loss of his parents. After singing this, he has some time to regain his composure. He had indicated a few times that he did not want to be photographed at this time. Joost has autism. People with autism feel and experience things differently than people without autism. This also makes them interact differently with other people. The team around Joost should have guided him better and made clear agreements with the photographer and the EBU.
He asked the photographer more than once if she could stop immediately filming him. Every time she overstepped boundaries. What happened to respecting someone's wishes? Nowadays No is No is a basic right but not in this case.
The team said, that they have made an agreement with the organisation, to not film Joost directly after his performance, because he revive his trauma and become extremely sad. Joost has discovered his mom on the sofa when she died due to a cardiac arrest, when he came home after attending school. So, the team have done something about it.
His song was so good even before the live performance, but after semi 2 it seemed he could even win the whole thing! Very curious to hear more details on the entire controversy 🤔
The flag thing got ridiculous as they were stopping people bringing trans flags in. What's political about being trans especially with two NB contestants including a winner singing about being non binary.
Exactly! And the European Commission has now sent a letter to the EBU demanding an explanation why the EU flag was banned. Let's hope to see some changes next year.
I am proud of all the booing. Even israel booed itself at some point, and there was nothing sarcastic about that. The EBU couldnt bully us into accepting a genocidal country. People protested both outside and inside the arena 👍 you can overshadow the booing with the prettiest applause sound in the world. You can disqualify people you fear for practically nothing. You can try to gaslight us all you want...Good people will always find each other and they will always stand together against the tyrants. My favourite people from this year turned out to be besties. Marina, Bambie, Nemo, iolanda, Sylvester ❤
Was Sweden not expensive to participate? If people can stay in France and Germany near Basel I think costs can be reduced to participate next year 😊🇨🇭🇩🇪🇫🇷
Also , the ebu censoured the portuguese video , releasing it AFTER the public votes were cast, the portuguese television made a complain abt it. How the hell you make a video abt the eurovision and didint know abt this?? Could it give much more points - no. But the fact that you didn't know abt it kinda tells us how much knowlwdge and insite you have to analise the program.
That delay is certainly a notable part of the chaos that was this year! We recorded the morning after, before RTP came with the compliant to the EBU, so weren't aware at the time
@@EurovisionIsMyReligion The video was realeased only AFTER rtp complaing about it. So the complaing happened before you made the video. It was all over twitter for ex wiwibloggs talked about it. Shame that YOU STILL haven't understood what happened. You have a huge bias towards Portugal, NONE of your team knew about the problems the portuguese team was facing, You need to reflect if you guys have a fair and unbiased honesty oppinions or if this is just a friend's chat.
@@sonasche as they said, they recorded it the morning after the final. They probably need to edit the video so it takes a bit of time to release it 🤷♀️
@@Gabi-qo7zd Again, the complaint of RTP was during the show, they released the video the day after. After a week they still havent gotten the true facts... And instead of apologising, they insist on the mistake.. -_-''
That pronoum change - using plurals for some people who don't feel male/female but are identified as single individuals is one to be challenged - this is were PC correctness go over board and in my view it causes more unecessary problems/practicalities and solves nothing...
@@stefanogortaldi3156 it is really not at all difficult. You just say they or them instead of he or she. We already do it in coversation. "Your sister left her keys here." "OK, I'll get they keys back to them". Happens all the time. Not difficult...if a wee bit of effort, basic respect for others identities is worth it.
@EmoBearRights but you had to be that person. Shit, if I want to call him mango instead of they/them what you going to do about it? He was born with balls so HE'S a male. Deal with it. No need to call people out.
Really enjoyed this thoughtful discussion.
Thanks Dom ❤

Well said - the whole Eurovision experience can be very overwhelming and artists have a right to some boundaries.
He asked the photographer more than once if she could stop immediately filming him. Every time she overstepped boundaries. What happened to respecting someone's wishes? Nowadays No is No is a basic right but not in this case.

So, the team have done something about it.
Thanks for giving credit to Nemo’s talent 👍😎❤️🎉🇨🇭🎶
I’m Dutch and I want out of the esc. We pay like 100 or 250k to attend and then they treat us like this ! I’m done.

@@EurovisionIsMyReligion yeah. If he really did something horrible then I’ll eat my words but I have a feeling it wasn’t as bad but idk 🤷
Nemo is an amazing artist! Finland, Latvia, Ukraine, Austria, and Estonia have great performances!
It was a strong year, right ?

Also with Portugal - i think staging influences things, some of the jurors are tv people who represent imaginative staging.
Good point!

The friendships that formed amongst the participants and the support was amazing to see! As Bambie said "EBU is not what Eurovision is".
@@EurovisionIsMyReligion that's true, but I'm done with it unless they change/fix things but I doubt they will
Just found your channel and i think younguys are great, you have new subscriber.
I think Lithuania should have been in top5 , for once :) nuu maybe next year
Can't wait for Lithuania's first Top 5 - it's on the right trajectory!

The fans always find a way!
What's wrong with Malta promoting the song? Tone deaf?
The team probably had it ready for a while to go out on Wednesday.
And you're probably right - don't take us too seriously :)

@sonasche bro, Portugal sucked, get over it and move on.
So mad about Portugal. hahahah
lol
Sorry, I stopped listening. THEY is their pronoun and everyone ignored it by saying HE. 😢😢😢
It was not intentional, but nevertheless - apologies ❤

Bambie too. (saying she) - and also, Bambie is Wiccan, the symbolism was of Wicca, not Satanism.

Sorry to be THAT person but both Nemo and Bambie Thug are non binary so their pronouns are they/them.
Yes! We apologise for the mix-ups with the pronouns - it was not intentional. We love Nemo and Bambie and who they are
@@EurovisionIsMyReligion You had addressed it in a previous comment so that's fine.
