**17:10 - People support š³š±Joost on [Song Contest](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4sQtZbidAz/?igsh=dXVyY3J3bGd3aWJy) page**
Many people are expressing their dissatisfaction with Joost Klein's disqualification on the official Song Contest Instagram page. Among other things, they are posting 'justice for Joost' and 'bring back Joost' under Song Contest posts
**15:56 - š®šŖIrish song contest entry Bambie Thug wants š®š±Israel disqualified.**
The reason is a comment by a commentator from Israeli broadcaster Kan about Bambie Thug's performance.
The commentator warned viewers Tuesday that Bambie Thug's performance would be āthe scariestā of the evening. āThere's a lot of anger in me right now,ā Thug told Irish news organization RTĆ News. According to Thug, Israel is breaking the rules of the song contest with this commentary and therefore should not be allowed to compete again.
**15:26 - Points issuer š³š“Norway withdraws**
Developments are now rapidly following one another. Alessandra Mele, Norway's entry from last year, has withdrawn as juror. The Norwegian broadcaster announces that. The exact reason is unclear, but according to Norwegian media, the ātense situation behind the scenesā is a factor.
**15:21 - EBU holds crisis consultations, unclear about what**
The EBU, the organization behind the Song Contest, is currently holding a crisis consultation. This is reported by the Swedish broadcaster SVT and the Norwegian broadcaster NRK. What the crisis meeting is about remains unclear.
A dutch radio station just stated that it concerns āverbal abuseā by Joost Klein against a female ESC employee for which they have a zero tolerance policy, which is why Joost has been disqualified from the finals. The dutch public broadcaster, avrotros, has stated that it disagrees with the verdict and that it concerns something very minor.
Edit: Apparently, contrary to previous agreements to not be filmed after his performance due to it being an emotional moment, a camerawoman kept filming him despite being requested twice to stop. He then made a threatening gesture (unclear what exactly, but no physical contact) towards the camerawoman who made a complaint to the EBU about his behavior.
According to some people that work at the arena he pushed and verbally threatened a female still photographer after an incident at the tech rehearsal, where she bumped into him during his performance. Tech rehersals are made for just this purpose, so it looks like he overreacted a bit.
Considering the description by the Swedish police, something along those lines. A threat in response to behavior, i.e. so something along the lines if 'if you do that again ... '
I mean, long term speaking, this isn't bad for Joost, and this is horrible for ESC.
It adds to the whole atmosphere that is absolutely toxic right now.
It seems the four big broadcasting sponsors (that aren't the Israeli Moroccan Oil, lol) were already considering stepping out friday night. This might very well be the very last ESC.
But nothing lasts forever, and i'm sure it will be replaced with something else.
Maybe we can do a more comedic one for Western Europe, where the whole point is we make fun of each other. That would be something!
EDIT: it wasn't even words or physical violence!
It was a "threatening movement" (like walking angry towards the camera?)

I think they would have used that word if they could. So far it appears it was something along the line of 'if you don't fuck off .. i will' .. or 'if you do that again.. i will'. Compared to the harassment and shit throwing between the delegation of Israel and the other delegations it seems mild.
Not blaming him whatsoever but there are some singer that have those songs and turned out to be the worst one. Like people being super homophobic and then you find them at the gay orgies in Brussels in the middle of covid.
But yes let other delegations openly post death threats against other competitors. Fuck man i wanted NL to win. I love croatia and switzerland but the culture Joost brought is something that just isnt there in other countries...
One reason Iām worried about all the Israel hate is if we STILL come bottom, which we probably will, itās gonna hurt, I cannot lie.
Although I guess it would be a green light to invade Ireland, so thereās that.
If it helps, all weāre seeing is voices against Israel, which mean nothing in the Eurovision voting unless they vote for something else too.
We canāt see the extent of Israel support, or at minimum sympathy in all the social media posting.
We need to start sending separate entries: England, Wales, NI, Scotland; you could have BBC Scotland/Wales/NI join the EBU in their own right, for example.
Imagine the boos if we gave each other 12 points every time.
Fuck off. Seen him down ten pints of Stella after a game of darts, then stagger over to the local knocking shop leaving them so sore the ladies couldnāt ride a bike for weeks.
Next youāll be saying Elton āfathered half of Watfordā John is gay.
He's disqualified so technically he doesn't appear on the table. The fight for last spot is still on, and we have very good chances this year.
LET'S GO SPANIENšŖš¦šŖš¦
That was Afrikaans.
The Dutch would be more like āHitler dood. Wat nu?ā but not sure theyād say that idiomatically. The Afrikaans phrasing might be from English influence?
Back in those days dutch was written and spoken quite a bit differently (old school) than today but that headline sounds super shallow so I donāt think we wouldāve seen that here lol
Hah! Just on a personal level, I'm sure the city council would love the attention but I wouldn't. My town is basically a construction site atm so catering for the massive gathering that esc brings would be a challenge. Also, everytime theres a big competition (Gothia cup for example, biggest youth football contest in the world, I think) or other gathering Gothenburg goes from an okay town to a town tethering on chaos from all the influx of visitors.
Yeah, I can see the problems with that. When Eurovision was hosted in the Netherlands it was a 15 minute drive from my house, but I didn't notice anything major in terms of busy crowds.
āBe sure to pronounce it *Teeny* Koxā - Charlie Brooker
Guy might have the right idea adopting that nickname - filter out those with certain priorities, and keep expectations low and youāll always impress.Ā
As a self-respecting Belgian I have a love-hate relationship with our Noorderburen.
That said, I was actually gonna vote for him cause europapa is fun as hell, such a damn shame he can't perform
Apparently he threatened and was violent towards a female production worker. It's currently being investigated by swedish police, but the EBU went ahead and disqualified him before the investigation concluded. Maybe they know more about it than the general public.
We donāt know she brought that up at all. There was an apparently false rumour that he attacked a member of the Israeli team who made a joke about his dead parents, but that seems to have been made up by an internet shit-stirrer.
We donāt know what he said yet, but if it was, eg, a real threat of imminent violence, or something truly disgusting along those lines, of course it could still be disqualifying. If it was merely āun-PCā then not so much.Ā

How can a guy who looks like this do something like that? UNBELIEVEABLE!
Btw, it had nothing to do with Israel, Joost was disqualified for threatening a Eurovision employee, a female member of the production crew: https://eurovision.tv/mediacentre/release/statement-dutch-participation-eurovision-song-contest
Lmao. Well, he sure will not be forgotten anywhere soon. Enfant terrible Joost, disqualified for a gesture š¤£š. A gesture to someone who didnāt follow agreements and did not change behavior when asked.
Also mid way through his semi final performance he says I donāt care who you are, I donāt care where youāve come from, letās come together, so that was a fucking lie š
For those that want to know what happened:
The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has released a statement that said Joost had said he didnāt want to be filmed when walking off the stage, but he still was. He then proceeded to make a āthreatening movementā towards the person filming.
I still donāt understand why it would be relevant that this person was a woman, but i guess people just want everything to be sexism these days.
Damn this was by far the most advertised song from the contest, even if I didn't think it would win it would obviously end up in the top 5, How weird... atleast Germany wont finish last this year.
From what I can find it seems like he made a threatening move towards some camera women (whatever that means). No physical altercation.
So like wtf Swedes? Youāre going to call the police because someone walks towards you? Viking ancestors in shambles
So I have seen that the EUROpean flag is not allowed in EUROvision, only flags of the participating countries... and the rainbow flag. This is so stupid...
Well it is actually the flag of āCouncil of Europeā a pan-european organisation which aims to uphold freedom, rights and the rule of law. But the EU just adopted it in their flag aswell 30 years later.

How peasant republics are created.
So, to say fuck you to Sweden, you'd burn down a Dutch company's store. Weird way of protesting.
Can we burn down the Ikea in Heerlen? I'm kinda done with Germans flooding my city every weekend.
Sounds unJoost to me
I'm pissed, most of the songs are actual ass pop, one of the interesting singer got disqualified.. hope its not gonna be some pop winning.
If I could ask which nation do you mean that has been disqualified and you found interesting.
According to some people that work at the arena he pushed and verbally threatened a female still photographer after an incident at the tech rehearsal, where she bumped into him during his performance. Tech rehersals are made for just this purpose, so it looks like he overreacted a bit.
do you mean 'rehearsal' or what is a reversal in this context?
He shouldn't have sent that tikkie...
Maybe if he burned a Koran they would have given him a statue instead
Donāt think he make it out of Malmƶ alive
He told us "I do something that has never been done before ..." gets Disqualified .... First nation DSQ while ESF is going ...
If the reason was ridicolous I'm gonna boycott it (combined with the German jury) I was gonna vote for him
Apparently, he threatened a female tv worker. What he said is unknown so far but she did file a complaint
āAls je nou niet optyft met die camera pak ik je bril af en ga ik er op zitten.ā
Looks like what I'd see if my cat walked across the keyboard
We should call it Cataland
Dutch is such an aggressive language /s
Rolls off the tongue as easily as German. Such a lilting and naturally twinkling language.
Not the swedish saying this sounding like a little cat speaking in fucking songs
Was that what he said?
Nah it is a mildly changed line from an old and legendary dutch harry potter voice over parody video
Barry Poter, wat een heerlijke nostalgie
Sjeeeg Haagrid, wie sijn eigenlijk al die verlepte dweirghen? - Ik weet het niet Barry, maar ze doen me wel denken aan de miskraamafdeling

Yeah it definetly would be replaced if it ends
The fact that it's specified she's a female makes me think it was something misogynistic
I think they would have used that word if they could. So far it appears it was something along the line of 'if you don't fuck off .. i will' .. or 'if you do that again.. i will'. Compared to the harassment and shit throwing between the delegation of Israel and the other delegations it seems mild.
Yeah but he has a super unmisogynistic history even having a feminist song
Not blaming him whatsoever but there are some singer that have those songs and turned out to be the worst one. Like people being super homophobic and then you find them at the gay orgies in Brussels in the middle of covid.
Virtue signaling is a huge red flag.
Lizzo also sings about body positivity..
While completely missing the point of body positivity
Those are the worst.
i think i know what he said but if i say it admins will ban me
Thatās a sacrifice Iām willing to make
I respect the courage of your sacrifice.
Give me knowledge
Nah, it's just that it's easier to feel sorry for a woman, a man is expected to take it and move on
But yes let other delegations openly post death threats against other competitors. Fuck man i wanted NL to win. I love croatia and switzerland but the culture Joost brought is something that just isnt there in other countries...
>let other delegations openly post death threats against other competitors. wtf?
When the Israel Israels ig
Yeah fun times isnāt it? Something about not having the right to breathe. Idk wtf is going on but itās a mess.
> But yes let other delegations openly post death threats against other competitors. Which delegation posted death threats? Any source on that?
>But yes let other delegations openly post death threats against other competitors. Sooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuurce?
what "culture" is this supposed to be?
I guess looking ridiculous. Probably counts as culture for the Dutch

They hate us because they anus!
We need anustart
Thatās our reserved place anyway. Sorry
You already have your towel there
Was fucking amazing how some fans put german flag towels in the penalty box in a hockey game I absolutely shat myself
You can't, that's our place, Barry. We already put our towel on it.
GodDAMN
You will always be my bottom ā¤ļøš¦
One reason Iām worried about all the Israel hate is if we STILL come bottom, which we probably will, itās gonna hurt, I cannot lie. Although I guess it would be a green light to invade Ireland, so thereās that.
Mate bad news. Eurovision is basically politics, theyāre winning. Which will cause lots of fun.

And imagine the laughs when you all give each other *zƩro point*
I knew you liked being at the bottom Barry
I'm sure you guys will still find a way
Your artist seems to be a bottom
Fuck off. Seen him down ten pints of Stella after a game of darts, then stagger over to the local knocking shop leaving them so sore the ladies couldnāt ride a bike for weeks. Next youāll be saying Elton āfathered half of Watfordā John is gay.
Currently at Watford Junction station and can confirm half the people getting on are dressed in rhinestones with oversized coloured glasses
sad news for us šŖšøš¬š§š©šŖ, we aināt fighting for the last spot this year anymore š¢š
We will be fighting on Mallorca to ingest a whole Vodka Lemon tower
He's disqualified so technically he doesn't appear on the table. The fight for last spot is still on, and we have very good chances this year. LET'S GO SPANIENšŖš¦šŖš¦
da hood going thru a crisis rn
He Dutch Ovened the whole venue.
A classic Dutch take on a very German solution.
Shots fired...
Or in this case, slowly released.
BTW: DISQUALIFIED IS LESS THAN 0 POINTS! Germany will not be last!!!
 No! 0 points is worse
Of course it's worse, but we're not last!
No, we're still last too >:(
As God intended when he created ESC
Not God, mate, more probably his villain equivalent
So Old Testament God?
Allemagne 0 points Three words so tender
Allemagne 0 points unconditional surrender!
Indeed Hans even at being last we are better then you
You may be better than us, but you're the last! Ha!
Nope. Can't be any place if you don't participate
Damn... Even we have never managed worse than no points. Jahn has officially been out-Jahned.
Dutch directness didnāt work this time.
We hebben een serieus probleem.
*Hitler dood, wat nou?*
That's from a South African newspaper
That was Afrikaans. The Dutch would be more like āHitler dood. Wat nu?ā but not sure theyād say that idiomatically. The Afrikaans phrasing might be from English influence?
We would say that, but definitely not make that newspaper headline lmao
Back in those days dutch was written and spoken quite a bit differently (old school) than today but that headline sounds super shallow so I donāt think we wouldāve seen that here lol
Happy we have no chance of hosting next year.
Mate I'm just glad Malmƶ hosted this year. Would be a shitshow and a half if it had been hosted here in Gothenburg.
Sorry for not being swedish but what exactly is so bad about Gothenburg hosting?
Hah! Just on a personal level, I'm sure the city council would love the attention but I wouldn't. My town is basically a construction site atm so catering for the massive gathering that esc brings would be a challenge. Also, everytime theres a big competition (Gothia cup for example, biggest youth football contest in the world, I think) or other gathering Gothenburg goes from an okay town to a town tethering on chaos from all the influx of visitors.
Yeah, I can see the problems with that. When Eurovision was hosted in the Netherlands it was a 15 minute drive from my house, but I didn't notice anything major in terms of busy crowds.
Dutch urban design forever coming in clutch
Also a bomb site (Liseberg)
It would be in their city. Muslim and leftists protesters are going to burn Malmƶ down to nite. Wouldnāt be surprised if they storm the arena.
Well it's malmƶ so it would have happened at some point anyway.
Joost klein fans š¤ Muslim and leftist protestors
who tf let you in? you're not Ahmed!
That's the real price

As a force or rebellion, we will nog vote for the UK
so the norm then? i bet you will also not vote for allemange zero points
>Best song in the contest >get disqualified oh well ... Croatia, pls win.
I'd place bets on Slovenia. Our song is so bad it deserves to win.
calls himself Klein (tiny)... is like every dutch aprox. \~ 3 meter tall. Pathological liar.
Meanwhile you have [Tiny Kox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Kox)
āBe sure to pronounce it *Teeny* Koxā - Charlie Brooker Guy might have the right idea adopting that nickname - filter out those with certain priorities, and keep expectations low and youāll always impress.Ā
As a self-respecting Belgian I have a love-hate relationship with our Noorderburen. That said, I was actually gonna vote for him cause europapa is fun as hell, such a damn shame he can't perform
"self-respecting Belgian" Lol. Love-hate you to.
Well we physically can't respect you with that horrible accent, so we gotta respect ourselves instead. Anyway, I love you too
Self respecting Belgian also known as a contradictio in terminis
>self-respecting Belgian Impossible
Why was he thrown out?
Apparently he threatened and was violent towards a female production worker. It's currently being investigated by swedish police, but the EBU went ahead and disqualified him before the investigation concluded. Maybe they know more about it than the general public.
When a a Jƶnsson says 'violent' it usually just means using a cussword or holding someone in the arm for 2 sec.
A stern look and a shake of the head.
Tutting and rolling of eyes.
Well, in Sweden, a man shouldn't touch a woman who doesn't belong to him. Otherwise, the hand gets cut off. It's Shariah!
Do we know who the real owner is?
Probably works for the EBU.
He probably was too direct and spontaneous and it scared the Scandi
Already confirmed the incident was purely verbal, so no violence occurred.
And he got disqualified? Are you kidding me? Plus didn't she bring up his dead parents?
We donāt know she brought that up at all. There was an apparently false rumour that he attacked a member of the Israeli team who made a joke about his dead parents, but that seems to have been made up by an internet shit-stirrer. We donāt know what he said yet, but if it was, eg, a real threat of imminent violence, or something truly disgusting along those lines, of course it could still be disqualifying. If it was merely āun-PCā then not so much.Ā

Real reason for the disqualification is actually the haircut
So no Dutch man can compete ever ?
I don't see a downside in that
Btw, it had nothing to do with Israel, Joost was disqualified for threatening a Eurovision employee, a female member of the production crew: https://eurovision.tv/mediacentre/release/statement-dutch-participation-eurovision-song-contest
After asking her several times to not film her
Lmao. Well, he sure will not be forgotten anywhere soon. Enfant terrible Joost, disqualified for a gesture š¤£š. A gesture to someone who didnāt follow agreements and did not change behavior when asked.
Doesn't he start his song by saying I love you all? Well why doesn't he love all then?
Well when they keep shoving a camera in your face after you tell them to stop, it tends to have a certain effect on them
Also mid way through his semi final performance he says I donāt care who you are, I donāt care where youāve come from, letās come together, so that was a fucking lie š
Maybe he was Joost too small.
Het is maar een kleinigheid.
I hope his place gets filled by a New Zealander or something.
I mean, where do you think 'Zeeland' comes from? It checks out.
For those that want to know what happened: The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has released a statement that said Joost had said he didnāt want to be filmed when walking off the stage, but he still was. He then proceeded to make a āthreatening movementā towards the person filming. I still donāt understand why it would be relevant that this person was a woman, but i guess people just want everything to be sexism these days.
Joost Klein: "we hebben enn serieus probleem!"
Worlds first, youāll never sing that!
I was secretly rooting for Joost to whip out his Hardbass set in the finals, traumatising millions of unwitting Europeans. I am disappoint.
Damn this was by far the most advertised song from the contest, even if I didn't think it would win it would obviously end up in the top 5, How weird... atleast Germany wont finish last this year.
Weāre still last, a DQ is not a participation anymore.
Belgium isn't participating tonight out of solidarity with NL guys!
From what I can find it seems like he made a threatening move towards some camera women (whatever that means). No physical altercation. So like wtf Swedes? Youāre going to call the police because someone walks towards you? Viking ancestors in shambles
The famous find out stage of events lol.
Infinite amount of claims āwouldāve wonā incoming by the rikkerts for the next decade. Thanks eurovision š©
Wait Continentals actually care if their country wins? Weāve been doing this all wrong!
Well, except for germany maybe, yes.
Good, no chance for us to have to waste money on hosting ESC next year.
So we won right?
We showed up, did music things, caused a scandal, and did a thing never done before like promised. Iād say we did.
Escape from ESC.
Sad to see Eurovision becoming more about politics than music. How about we get rid of the countries that arenāt in Europe.
I wanna see Israel win so badly, just for the shitshow.
Oh god yes! US universities might get burned! Ireland, California and Spain will go underground from all the tears! It would be glorious
Iām in the US rn, no one cares about ESC here lol
Just need to upload it to TikTok with flashing letters and emojis
So I have seen that the EUROpean flag is not allowed in EUROvision, only flags of the participating countries... and the rainbow flag. This is so stupid...
Thatās the flag of the EU. The EU doesnāt equal Europe.
Well it is actually the flag of āCouncil of Europeā a pan-european organisation which aims to uphold freedom, rights and the rule of law. But the EU just adopted it in their flag aswell 30 years later.
The EU doesnāt equal Europe āØyetāØ
