The EBU made mistake after mistake making it one of the most (if not THE most) controversial eurovisions in history. We should speak up about this. This is not a song contest anymore. This is a political mess at global level
This has been the case especially since Ukraine won 2022. They should not be surprised when views go down next year. Our country is heartbroken for Joost.
It’s a global embarrassment is what it is. It’s shown the EBU are truly a bunch of amateurs that don’t fully comprehend the far-reaching political implications of allowing in certain participants and arbitrarily wanting to appear strict with every other participant, including the ridiculous exclusion of the Dutch act.
I will never forget William's (and Cinan's) true support for Baby Lasagna ❤️ since the day one they were real fans. and even wearing official Lasagna merch shirt in the finals? wow 🙌 thank you
I am so grateful also, both William and Cinan were so amazing to our Baby Lasagna, he was totally unexperienced in all this and they made him so comfortable in interviews 😊 Also, the questions were always on spot. I love them so much for that ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed your answers and appreciate the honesty. No glossing over what has really happened inside the arena. You're also very well spoken and eloquent, it was a pleasure listening to you William. Thank you for all your live reporting from the ESC
@@ddstarthemusicIf it a competition between broadcasts. Israel voilate all EBU rules, voilate human rights, Convention of Genova and Press Freedom. If they want be consequent and have zero tolerance as they said with Joost disqualification then It apply also to Israel, but there biggest sponsor is from Israel, so they break there own ethical standards, thats why the crowd was so angry
@@ddstarthemusic What? It wasn't a valid reason. You have done obviously 0 research, but good of you to let us all know you're the type of person who would let anyone walk right over you
@@ddstarthemusic First of all, that's no reason not to discuss it. Second, according to the only real information we've got so far (the broadcaster's story) he was being harassed by a camerawoman who kept filming him when it was agreed not to and also after being requested not to numerous times. He then responded with a threatening gesture. That's not a great response, sure. It also doesn't seem to amount to enough reason to outright disqualify someone without appeal.
@@Snowshowslow it's not a fact but from what I hard, you don't have any ways to know what really happen there, Joosts attack a Swedish photographer and slap her so they took him to investigation. can you prove me wrong?
Croatians will forever be grateful for his work and love towards esc. He would be way better judy than all of the european juries (aside from Serbia and Cyprus, they had great juries)
I explain to you. If there's no jury votes, songs like Serbia and Portugal with less BPM stayed in last places, that's totally unfair. Israel won the televote in 60% of the countries this year, even in those that they never won in other years with better songs. Do you still believe in televote? , do you believe that jury vote must be banned?
Yeah it’s only the last few year juries have been more significant the public up to 2022 had been a bigger part in result just because of that you can’t public vote otherwise you take the essence of Eurovision voting out and kill it ya berk!
@@andrecosta8679The Jury decided the Winner two years in a row and now people want them to be removed. 🙄But many times the televote winner wins Eurovision and not the jury winner. Take Netta (2018) for example, or Maneskin (2021) or Kalush Orchestra (2022).
@@andrecosta8679 I believe that we need the jury voting, but it should be more transparent regarding the criteria on which they base their decisions, otherwise it quickly turns to misuse of power. For example, Israel gave 12 points to Luxembourg this year. Why? Is it because she was born in Israel? Maybe there is another reason, but I would like to know it, just to be sure they are using their power fairly.
Meow. At the end of the day it is not the juries that will be listening to your song, but rather public. And there nemo ended 5th, while Baby Lasagna ended FIRST. Real winner of esc 2024. In either case, this esc will be remembered as the really sad one with all that Netherlands and israel situation
Nemo in the Swiss music charts, own country, topped at 22nd place, says it all. Nemo is not a public winner by far, only 4th in the semifinal, and now 5th in the final. They disqualified the Dutch because was 2nd in the same semifinal and would certainly take a lot more points to Swiss than Croatia. The jury system knew they had to give the Swiss abnormal amount of points and sometimes zero to the Croat (which also lost some 12 points with Israeli televoting manipulation). It was rigged in advanace as Switzerland was chosen as the future winner. This year was the best example how much Eurovision is manipulated and pointless, there's nothing sincere about it.
Maybe the non-binary Nemo had to win the competition because it fits the current agenda better. BUT, and this is very important, the LGBTQ+ community overwhelmingly supported the heterosexual Baby Lasagna and not the non-binary Nemo. This is very important because it proves that it is not about gender or sexual preference, but about music and emotions. AND the LGBTQ+ community has once again proven that they really live the motto "United by Music" and for that, a big THANK YOU!!!
Baby Lasagna received a big welcome in the Croatian capital Zagreb. Emilia from the Croatian group Riva, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1989 for Yugoslavia, was there. Croatian singer Tatiana Cameron, better known as Tajči, who was the last to compete for Yugoslavia in 1990, was also there. And of course Let 3, who competed for Croatia last year, were there too.
Statement in English We have taken note of the disqualification by the EBU. AVROTROS finds the disqualification disproportionate and is shocked by the decision. We deeply regret this. An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This wasn’t respected. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police. Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed several solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has still decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AVROTROS finds the penalty very heavy and disproportionate. We stand for good manners -let there be no misunderstanding about that- but in our view, an exclusion order is not proportional to this incident. We are very disappointed and upset for the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe shouldn’t have ended this way.
There is one more video you need to watch and react to before we part our ways with esc 2024. I recommend you watch Croatian eurovision after party in Zagreb. This is an example how Croatian people welcome their winners. ❤
And again playing it safe by avoiding what mistakes the EBU made at Joost Klein. No reaction is also a reaction. What a horrible episode this Eurovsion was ...
think we should talk about this. The jury once again decided who wins. Its not a competition at the moment, it is Ebu politics. We need to speak up and demand change, not stay quiet. At the moment the only ones that are speaking about the problems are the artists, and we need to back them up. And speak about the problems of this "competition" or admit that there is no true competition.
William, will you make a video about the disqualification of the Netherlands? I'd like to know your opinion on this, because you haven't said a word about it.
its a scandal - that Joost Klein was disqualified.... they should protect artists more especially those we know that are vulnerable, sensible like Joost ...
Did EBU put a gag order on the Joost Klein item?! You were so glad when you interviewed him and now...nothing!! The most streamed Eurovision song ever probably.
Croatia was by far the best. They even beat israel in televote while israel was cheating, that just shows how much did the public LOVE Croatia. But sadly the real winner doesn't always win, there are 100 so called juries who decide the winner
can you make a video on post Eurovision anxiety and depression...? Particularly cause since 2022 we are bombarded with fan favorite not winning (22 Spain, 23 Finland, 24 Croatia)
@@simmycutters3757 Thats what you said earlier, and i corrected you. Many facts (many, not all) are known and can be read in official statements. Besides that, we are blessed with brains, ears and eyes, and can do some thinking of our own. Plenty of stuff to talk about, imo.
You'd think there'd be footage of the incident given that the alleged victim was filming Joost at the time of the incident. Should be a clear-cut case.
It’s EBU to blame. After they refused to let 🇳🇱 compete, I neither watched, nor voted this year. 🇳🇱🇬🇧 were my favs from Armenia 🇦🇲. Should I of voted, I may have saved Olly from that disastrous result. What a shame…Olly is still great and one of fav artists of all time. Good luck with your career. Eurovision has become a shitshow…will never watch it. Im done with it.
How very disappointing not to be adressing what happened in de last couple of days. In the picture showing Joost Klein as clickbait. Have some courage and don't always play nice with EBU.
Exact,if this is the case, why is Russia banned? I mean, then you have to let them all in, and if they keep Russia out, then Israel out as well, they are no longer the defender, they are the aggressor now.
Because EBU conveniently used all loopholes in their vague rules to justify kicking Russia and Belarus out, while keeping in Israel (and Moroccanoil, the general sponsor for years, an Israeli company). I wonder how come ESC with its 160-200 million viewers every year is not able to find a better sponsor than this israeli company whose products aren't even for mass retail sale but for niche consumers like professional hair salons. The answers that pop up are that 1. Moroccanoil's offer is so out of proportions that nobody can compete with that commercially, which means Moroccanoil is disregarding market laws and is overpaying the sponsorship 2. If this is so, somebody has to be behind such offer, otherwise any business would be ruined like that. I really wonder who might that be. Mr Ö, shame on you.
@@paulmarkwilkinson8778 That is just semantics. The fact is that both Russia and Belarus were excluded for political reasons and when it comes to Israel, politics doesn't matter anymore all of a sudden. Either exclude all or none, otherwise nobody is going to take this seriously anymore.
I believe that they should have let him compete after all taking that singer off the competion after being selected in semi-final will not reflect the people's vote correctly- whomever intended to vote for him either wont vote at all or do last minute change - either way votes of what people choose will not reflect correctly. They should have waited until they complete their investigation and action after the contest over. Additionally, if the incident occurred before the news conference, why did they choose after the conference about this incident. The logical conclusion is that something went wrong at the news conference.
If the ebu doesn't change anything, I hope my country, The Netherlands, will NOT participate. My heart is broken because of what happened, still gives me tears in my eyes. If it ens up being minor what Joost did, and the punishment was way too fast and way too harsh, I really feel we are not welcome at Eurovision, and therefore it's better not to come at all. There are two sets of rules now, one for Israel, who wasn't stopped when it was clear how they were bullying and harassing other delegations, the Dutch delegation being one of them, and another set of rules for the rest of the countries, they weren't allowed to give their opinion about Israel/Gaza and also, no EU flags were allowed, what's up with that, I mean WTF?! What kind of organization is ebu? It's more like a dictatorship then a peaceful organization. Very very disappointed 😞 😭💔
The EBU made mistake after mistake making it one of the most (if not THE most) controversial eurovisions in history. We should speak up about this. This is not a song contest anymore. This is a political mess at global level

There are two sets of rules now, one for Israel, who wasn't stopped when it was clear how they were bullying and harassing other delegations, the Dutch delegation being one of them, and another set of rules for the rest of the countries, they weren't allowed to give their opinion about Israel/Gaza and also, no EU flags were allowed, what's up with that, I mean WTF?! What kind of organization is ebu? It's more like a dictatorship then a peaceful organization. Very very disappointed 😞 😭💔
so undeserved, boring song..i won't watch eurovision anymore...and ebu slogan united by music is a joke
