    Europapa is the smartest and most interesting entry to the ESC ever. This song, the music video and the story behind it has so many layers. From the different (euro) music styles to the ton of hidden and not-so-hidden references. Joost Klein gives us a whole experience unmatched by any other act. And I'm here for it. At first, I was skeptical but I am so proud that he can make his dream come true and that he represents the Netherlands this year. It makes me proud to be from the Netherlands and also for the first time proud to be European. Joost Klein, his name means small but he dreams big. 12 points to the Netherlands.

    Even if he ends last, I will be happy we sent him. It’s so out of the box that I applaud the effort. Not my type of music, but for Eurovision anything goes. And he is actually quite a serious guy with a troubled past, who has been successfully ‘manifesting’ his Eurovision participation for years, especially last year. I will try to manifest the win for him because I think he deserves it (without even knowing his song). Go Joost, you’re a great guy and you will slay! Much love from a 55 year old halve Frisian, yet Groninger woman!

      Small adjustment: phonetically it would be closer to Yoast, because the J would make it sound like Djoost, whereas the y from yes fits perfectly. Klein in English often sounds like Klain, and in some Dutch accents it sounds like Klain too, but it is pronounced like the ei in the French soleil or city of Marseille.

    sometimes, following a certain formula that succeeded in a certain year doesn't guarantee success in the following year(s). He has to be aware of that. there are some examples already proving that, most notably (in my perspective) Cyprus 2019, with a roughly-similar formula to what they used in 2018; they came second in 2018, but were outside of the top ten in 2019.

    I'm sorry but it's only my honest opinion here but I think this choice will backfire badly in May.
    There's no doubt he's a funny and genuine guy, but his music is far too divisive. I'm all for quirky and different, but from watching several of his videos, I just can't get into his music. I can't see his music appealing to the majority of televoters. With Finland this year, the song had it's critics but there was a coherent song behind the quirky fun and games. Joost will have to bring something really special to the table, because up to now, I'm just not getting the connection with his music.
