It's gonna be interesting to see how the staging would be. There is definitely a hidden message to the song, but it's the staging that will determine whether the hidden message can be understood easily (because if it doesn't, it can be perceived as a joke entry 🤷🏻♂️)
Sure, it has a meaning but can you tell that without any research and upon the first listening? Not really. They need to make smart choices for the live performance if they want the people to ''get it''
Go watch the live version. You can really see its not a joke entry. And this song grows on you. Try listen every day for a week. You will get crazy for it
Perfectly fine to not like this genre. The song is about an orphan traveling through Europe trying to escape the pain of losing his parents. It’s no joke
Thank you for understanding. It's a serious message wrapped in this kind of package, instant NO for me. Also the chorus is just ... what it is... maybe next year Netherlands 🇳🇱 😅
Yes you have! I'm here and I stand by what I said. I don't get the hype at all 😂 but if you all like it, sure. It's not the only fave this year I dislike anyways
Live version is better but my opinions have not changed weeks later. I am just not the right person for it. When you compare songs in my top 5 to Netherlands, you can see the difference 😅
No, I'm not alone. People are just scared to say whay they think because fans would come after them. I don't have that problem. I said I don't enjoy in this kind of songs (in most cases, there are some exceptions tho) and that's it. It will get many 12s but I wonder how will juries rate it in the final
Different ppl different taste👍 but calling this a joke entry makes me a bit uncomfortable (knowing his story and that this is a tribute to his late father) The outro, imo, should have made you wonder what its about.
You see, now you said the key element... KNOWING HIS STORY. I don't understand why do people expect from me (or anyone else on yt) to know someone's story if I'm first time listening to their song. I am not one of those people who listen to songs 10 times before recording a video and who do a 2 hour research on the artist. That's not the point in my opinion but we're all different I guess
Oh boy this comment section is brutal 😂 Anyways as someone who is friends with this lovely reactor he is far from insensitive and I'm sure when he learns more about the lyrics and context he'll understand it more (even if it doesn't grow on him). The song isn't for everyone and that is okay. I promise, 1 person not being on board right away isn't the end of the world and life will go on.
Thanks for the support my friend but you know my feelings about this one. You also know that I'm not afraid of the comments section 😅😂 let them express what they feel 😅
Can I just say that, as much as.. you know, Joost lost his parents which this song is dedicated to, apparently, your parents loved raising a joke entry of a human and I don't know which one of those options is worse. Is this some kind of sick and/or weird thing in your country? So sad :( Hope you're gonna be ok in the future my dude. Much love from Europe
@@esc_victor08 Nice self like! And nice how you want to say something, but you end up saying nothing at all, you don't explain how it didn't make sense, or what hurt you exactly, I'm just being honest. Grow a thicker skin you.
I really can't see juries voting for this... High expectations but underwhelming package in overall... When we grab in the same basket... My pick is Finland over the Netherlands... 😊
Many people compare those two and I can see them in the same basket. Finland has a somewhat enjoyable chorus but a chaotic performance. I feel juries won't rate them high in the final (if Finland qualifies at all)
Call it as you wish but I'm simply not on board with this one. People have a problem with it only because it's a favourite. If it were 31st in the odds nobody would care what I say

This is NOT a Joke entry.
Who cares if it's coming from a joke human. Victor my dude, grow some intellect.
Go watch the live version. You can really see its not a joke entry. And this song grows on you. Try listen every day for a week. You will get crazy for it
I appreciate your enthusiasm but weeks after, I am still not really on board with this song. I love the drop, but the chorus is simply not for me 😅
Great song ,12points❤
Glad you liked it, I'm in minority on this one 😂

@@esc_victor08 the package is meant to mess with you I think
“You see on my face I’m not a fan of this!” Lol 😂🎉
I can't fake it even if I try 😂
Ah we have found the 1 guy that doesnt like this
Hahahhahahahaa with a canule.We found him.Greetinfs from the Netherlands
Yes you have! I'm here and I stand by what I said. I don't get the hype at all 😂 but if you all like it, sure. It's not the only fave this year I dislike anyways
Please look at the live live performance from Europapa (You can find it on youtube)
I'm curious if you like the live version better.😉

Netherlands 12 points from Belgium seems you stand alone here with a negative reaction
Hahahahah ik snap hem niet.

@esc_victor08 I'm your fave foot soldier no matter what 🫡
Its not a joke entry!!
The video seems like a joke, but all his lyrics are serious. With a deeper message.
The video is one of the things that brings it down for me, definitely. I don't know why they decided to present such a topic in this way 🤷♂️

If you want to insult people, at least do it right because this comment makes no sense whatsover. Wish you only the best as well

6:54 live version if even worse:)) he just speaks and everything else is prerecorded.
How can someone enjoy this as a eurovision song? It's fun but milles away of good song. My taste of course
I knew I wasn't alone 😂😂
THIS IS NOT A JOKE ENTRY! 🙄

Its not a joke...translate please...
i am from the Neterlands
Mr. Negative are ya, watch live version, but its oke just a matter of taste 😊

@@esc_victor08 Perhaps you should read my comment again mate, matter of taste 🤷
you know why you don't understand you don't have your subtitles on this is not a joke song lising the next time with a subtitles
Even if we disregard the language, the production and sining style is simply not for me 😅
it's not a joke. and i don't think you even know what a joke is because you're way too serious for that.
Netherlnads? 😂
So you don't like the Eurovision winner of this year? That's ok.....
If it wins... it will win... and life will move on. If I don't have a problem with that, I don't know why so many people have 😂😂😂
A joke? Girl bye
It,s very bad and stupid song
YOU know nothing about music! BYE!
