Netherlands 2024

Joost Klein

Europapa

 

Rapper Joost Klein has been picked to represent the Netherlands!

 

Omg, I appreciate this swerve from The Netherlands, I've been getting a little bored of them peddling the same sound every year for the last decade, even though it's produced some very high quality entries.

 

Friesenjung was a big hit in my chart this summer, and this choice will get the DACH region televoters on board at least you'd think?

 

The song will be in Dutch apparently.

Lord have mercy

The idea of a rap song does intrigue me, but then I loved Malik Harris a couple of years ago and he came last…..

:nocheer:

this cannot be bad if it's in Dutch *.*

What a bop! reminds me of Scooter vs happy hardcore from the 90s

I respect the icon game

 

Song needs some time to grow but very welcome game-switch from the Netherlands, their old schtick had run well dry.

Really like this, the hardstyle part is a genre I really never thought we’d see in Eurovision. I like the slower part at the end too, and it’s very catchy.

Someone behind me in the uni library was watching this as it premiered :lol:

I knew it would be an entertaining song based on the title!

This is very different for the Netherlands based on their entries in the last few years, cant see this doing all that great.

Can't stop listening to this. I think it will do really well in the televote and be a big European hit, not sure what the juries will make of it but surprised it's not in the odds top ten.

Safe to say this is not my cup of tea. 5/10

Already # 1 in Netherlands and Belgium. :lol:

The more I hear this, I think this might be the Cha Cha Cha of the year over Rim Tim Tagi Dim, not musically just in terms of like it being a breakout smash that will eat the televote

So I don’t mind this and of the songs I’ve listened to so far it does stand out

 

It does sound like they are going with a Cha Cha Cha spin off (which I get as it was popular, but surely it will suffer in the jury vote)

Third week on the top in Netherlands (Arcade had only two)

Joost has released an EP of remixes called Europapa: Greatest Hits.

 

Love this 'Ringtone' version, which essentially turns it into a Jamster style mid-00s jingle.

 

What a bop! reminds me of Scooter vs happy hardcore from the 90s

 

Mixed with Falco - Vienna Calling from the 80s for the rap, that was about world cities, this is obviously just about Europe. Falco was the original euro-rap star anyway!
