Stromae's song is also about the singer singing about his deceaswd father. Papa ou tai means "Dad, where are you?"

For the first time in 11 years a Dutch song became immediately number 1 in the top 40. It has never ever happened before that a song from Eurovision has entered the top 40 this hight BEFORE the contest started. It's a humongous hit here in The Netherlands. He's going to work together with Donny Ronny, and we know that he did his previous staging on tour as well (just look at the Lowlands performance, you can tell how well his staging is thought out).

It’s just a live registration of his concert, but the staging for eurovision remains top secret, he did the outro as well, it’s on you tube.

[roxstar]

He loves to be with his fans so he perform more often in the mosh pits. As he says "I don't have a lot of family but right now, you're all my family." I guess because his family fell apart on such a young age he has this drive to connect people together.

If you want Joost originals, do the Lowlands live concert 2023 its amazing from start to finish!😅

[QueenofKings_]

Thank you for your reaction.

Joost said that his live performance in the finals @ the Eurovision will be a huge surprise. It will shock the world.

[annebokma]

I love "wachtmuziek" a happy song about the waiting lists in mental healthcare. The sort of song that probably has saved lives.

[noroaa]

Honestly i was sure that i won't spend any money on eurovision this year but Joost was the only one who stole my heart and i will definitely send him at least 1 vote.. He deserves so much! He is doing what i am expecting from ESC to give me, the emotions, the show, the message, the hidden deep of this silly frame to Europapa! Also the fact he grabbed whole Europe into one song and even his voice live is amazing gives me emotions and the hype! NETHERLANDS GO FOR THE 12 POINTS LOVE LOVE THIS

Papaoutai from Stromae is referenced in this song because of the fact both singers lost their PAPA’s (dads) at an early age. In most languages the word for dad is either Pa/Papi or Papa. Obviously French because Stromae also used Papa, but also in Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish, Polish, Finnish, Greek and obviously Dutch.

So basically almost all non English speaking people will understand the Papa reference, it is only the English crowd who usually also don’t know a second language that will struggle with this.

Just so we are clear EURO PAPA is a reference to his father who played a major role in him wanting to compete in Eurovision and the reason for the topic of the song. His father worked with refugees in the Netherlands and thought Joost that border are a man made concept. In the end the burning of that building represents both him wanting to see borders gone in both physical and psychological terms.

And he sees attending Eurovision as a closure for his difficult years dealing with the loss of his parents.

If you want to see more look at joost klein lowlands 2023.

[Angeleyes]

This is art, smart, the real show in sweden will be epic. His team is amazing. Still a suprise . Clever move.

[Harry.]

Watch Joost Klein live on Lowlands for a complete Joost Klein show 😊

[Chanelistap]

I mean this got so much potential live and I can see him doing better in televote than Lasagna. I wouldn't rule out juries appreciating this either - that kind of music was really popular a few decades ago and when the nostalgy hits... I'm not saying he's winning it but imho he stands a better chance of winning it all than Croatia.

[nf]

Great reaction. This was during his concert in Tilburg 013 and is not his act for Eurovision. Still a surprise how his act will be but it will be epic. The outro will be included there. What if he starts in the middle of the crowd? Omg. ❤

[Romy]

I was waiting for your reaction video to this, love how much you genuinely love it! I would looove for you to see his other stuff, I watch his live show of Lowlands 2023 (the one with black and white make up) multiple times a day. It’s so epic you will love it, filled with ‘gabber dancing’ or hakken haha!

Never ever been so 100% supportive of our entry, but Joost is everything and I really believe Europe will see that as well 🥳

[irenedavies]

At first I didn't like this song but after seeing this live video I changed my mind.

[antonkern]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Papaoute by Stromae is obviously a song that has had impact on Joost, as it is about a kid looking for his father, wondering where he is. Stromae lost his dad (killed in war) at 9 years old and his mother didn't tell him until he was 12 or so. The song has an amazing line that says "Everyone knows how to make babies, but nobody knows how to make papas". Pretty sure this all sounded very familiar and affected Joost deeply, so hence the reference.

[frankconfurius]

This is genuinely sang/sung by litteraly every stage of life in the Netherlands, I just went grocery shopping nearby a primary school and overheard childeren singing it, even at work or at like subcultures or activities of people gathering who not necessarily loving this song I heard people singing it. So since the new forever slogan of Eurovision is: united by music, I think this song embodies that all. I understand it is not necessarily everybody's cup of tea, I'll still think, since I watched quit some reactions, it is still giving a lot of people good vibes, and that is in the essence Eurovision.
