@@korwindel1 so invasion of privacy is okay? because that's what happened. Joost asked the woman MULTIPLE TIMES to not film him and then made a movement towards the CAMERA not the woman
If someone asks you to stop filming, you stop filming if you're not a massive douche. That woman shouldn't be allowed to be a camerawoman, she has absolutely zero respect for boundaries.
According to some Rumors he beat a woman up. Dutch televesion claims that he only made threatening gestures in her direction after she filmed him against his wishes. Firstly, the Dutch radio is not a neutral all-knowing source, secondly, we only have rumors so far and thirdly, there would not have a police investigation if he had only threatened the woman with gestures.

First we heard there was a physical altercation, then we hear there was a verbal threat, now we hear he only moved towards the camera... It just doesn't sound great on EBU's part. If there was no verbal threat I don't see how they got the police involved. Oh boy oh boy.
Police don't need more than the fact that someone files a report to get involved. Whether there's any merit to the report is decided by a prosecutor later. It's perfectly possible that it's a total nothingburger as Dutch TV has reported.
I don't know if those sources who keep changing on his behalf should be trusted more though, people both exxagerate and understate situations like this. Best to leave it to police than speculate online. We know far to little for people to have these strong opinions and in my own personal opinion I think EBU reacted appeopriately. I don't know what other "punishment" would be appropriate. Easier to just disqualify him than deal with a bunch of choices that may look inadequate if he's quilty. I just also find it difficult to believe that artists in the biggest song contest in the world and such a large event can ask to avoid cameras, why are you participating in such an event if you can't accept cameras around you? Just sounds strange to me. I feel like it's something you accept when you participate in the event.
@@rebeccamadsen4509 I understand your perspective which is completely in line with today's cancel culture. A good conversation between Joost and The Camera Woman could have avoided a lot of hassle. According to AVROTROS, The Camera Woman did not contribute in any way to a professional conversation. Remember that everyone is under tremendous pressure for this event. When someone does not follow the rules and ignores warnings then such incidents occur. In my eyes not pretty but human. Among other things, Joost/AVROTROS wanted to publicly apologize. But the camerawoman rejected all good intentions. With this cancel policy of the EBU you are completely unsafe as an artist. You just have to put up with any provocative behavior. Otherwise you will be reported and disqualified. So I do not know if such rules really contribute to a safer working environment....
@@emil9528 Yea sure, I'm not really into the theory of cancel culture as I have seen it in social media where people do or say things ages ago and get punished for it or simply for having differing opinions to what's popular. First of all I must say I haven't read much about how esc works behind the scenes but I do also think with such a big event and management you want to try and avoid unecessary hassle is the best way I can put it. I also do think that removing someone from an event because of an incident at the event (which I don't think is as cut and clear as everyone makes it out to be, I don't think we have all the info at all and don't really trust either avrotros or ebu in what's right or wrong, in this case I think it's up to police), I do think it is okay whereas when someone get's cancelled from an event because of a tweet or because they did or supported something outside of the event if you get my meaning (apart from criminal acts of course). But I stand by that I don't think we have the full story. I don't know how contracts work in eurovision or how the ebu operates but I think there's more to this story than this and it could very well be just a huge misunderstanding, people are human after all. But (and I'm not saying you or any specific person does this it's just what I assumt is happening) taking Kleins and his teams words as ultimate truth on how he acted and how the photographer acted seems biased in some way. I don't know
@@emil9528 I don't really know what you mean by cancel policy though? Has any other artist been canceled lately by the ebu? I haven't heard of any but might npt be well read. It seems like a very specific incident
@@matea5530Croatia was my favourite, Netherlands was my runner up and the UK was my third fav. I really love the performances these three people came up with. Seeing Netherlands outed from the finals was heartbreaking and rage-inducing, and UK’s nul points from the audience? That’s the same feeling.
The fact that the recording is easily accessible and to be showed (because it was a camerawoman) and for them to take so long to consider (if it was a true threat it would have been easily brought out way earlier with facts and all) does bring up the question what other factors made them disqualify Joost. If there was a clear form of breaking the rules, they would have shared it earlier and made their decision earlier. It just shows that there is shady stuff going on behind the scenes.
i bet [redacted] cried about him being "disprespectful" during that one interview and since they own EBU's asses because the biggest sponsor of eurovision isn't actually moroccan, this is what happened. but that's just my opinion.
The camerawoman is a human being as well and has her rights, she may not be famous that doesnt make her less of a human... He should learn some manners The decision is 100% justified
@thecitypartoftheinternet But that woman didn't respect his boundaries? He may be more "famous" but that doesn't give her the right to stick a camera in his face after he repeatedly said that he doesn't want that. your statement totally sounds like double standards
@@rebeccamadsen4509 if genders were reversed, if he was a woman, and she was a man, no one would have reacted They just used it as an excuse to desqualify him
I’m Dutch and I found this absolutely crushing. That man deserves his boundaries, he put his heart in soul into this. Disappointed the other contastants didn’t do something to support him.
Estonia apparently also debated to withdraw, but at the end of their performance they said dankjewel (thank you). I dont think there was much other contestants could do though
I don't like him much, but the EBU overreacted for sure. Considering the thought behind his song, the dude was probably overwhelmed after his performance and wanted some peace.
Pretty easy to do when half the points are awarded by failed career Eurovision wannabes who mean as much as 600mil+ potential voters... Nemo wasn't even in the top 4 of voters' choice yet he somehow won lol. And it would be less bad if they didn't do it last year to Finland, stacking the jury votes against them so much that even the 50% more votes they got compared to Eurovision royalty couldn't get the actual winner to win. Disgrace
@@Musta0011 they actually kicked Russia out because they weren’t playing nice with the EBU, I think they didn’t pay what they should have or something? It wasn’t political, according to the EBU.
@@JasminMiettunenthat is not true. In official statements by the EBU when it all happened, they were kicked out because of "the ongoing crisis in ukraine"
@@xshme that’s weird, I'm 100% sure I saw an article of EBU or ESC saying it was because of Russias non-compliance with the EBU when Israel was compared to Russia
This situation suggests that a complaint is enough to get a contestant banned. Because the argument is that he can't perform while he's under investigation, not that they concluded he definitely did something wrong. But that seems ripe fur abuse.
Also, filming someone without permission where it's not allowed is also harassment and transgressive behaviour. Arguably worse than what he did (if this is what happened)
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Both the leadership and the crew member fall under the EBU. They won't do this on purpose, but now you do create a precedent where you could practically always kick out a contestant and come out of it with clean hands.
The main sponsor MoroccoOil is actually an Israeli company. Given that many of the countries that have been openly supportive of Israel have had incidents (Ireland missed the rehearsal due to something that caused them to file a report), it is possible that Joost was disqualified for his open dislike of Israel, and that the incident with the camerawoman is simply being used as the excuse.
@@timv17 it just takes one delegation wanting to take out a competitor and you've put yourself in a very difficult position with this precedent. To be clear, everybody has the right for a safe work environment, but then the EBU should've banned him on their own accord, not off load their responsibility towards the Swedish police
We need justice for Joost. She went against his wishes which were agreed upon beforehand and now he has to suffer the consequences. Absolutely disgusting.
So it’s precisely like my intuition. An incredible, unimaginable amount of stress leading to a snap reaction at something possibly invasive happening to him. Unbelievable. Sure, there might still be more, but damn that’s depressing.
@@timsonins I don't know the full story so I can't speak for or against either side, but I thought originally it was reported that he hit a reporter or something like that and I was fine (but disappointed) with the removal of that was true. Sounds like it's not so I don't really see a reason for him to be removed if he yelled at the person. From the little info I have, they make it sound like a reporter/camera lady was "harassing" Joost and he got upset about it. Kind of normal behavior in the celebrity world. Like that time Tom Hank yelled at a crowed of people that knocked into his wife. But again, I don't know the full story, and it sounds like we may never know.
Joost would might as well harass that female staff member. Clearly Joost didn’t do shit that would be worth his disqualification. Still, I will remember his song and his positive engagement with the audience. “Welkom in Europa, jongen!” the audience chanted.
2 things need to happen: 1. We need to see her footage and if it is not bad enough to warrent this pushinment then 2: She needs to be fired and never be allowed back at a job at this high of a level ever again.
So regardless, don’t physically threaten/attack cameras person, whether you make contact or not!! Stop ignoring and pretending he is innocent just because u liked the song!!🤦♂️
This doesn’t sound like what really happened. Why would the police investigate because of a “threatening movement”? There’s either more to the story or the disqualification is just unfair.
Joost was like 80% the right and they 100% over reacted Imagine someone telling you to not flim them, then they continue to the point you became frustrated and made 1 remake. BOOM everything you worked for is out the window. It honestly seems that they had no intention or interest in wanting Joost winning. I don't condone violence but he wasn't violent he was threatening. The man is human, cut him some slack for REPEATEDLY ASKING THEM TO STOP AND THEM REFUSING There will not be a eurovision in 2030 I believe. This is the start of there stupid downfall, completely because of there own stupidity
i agree,but i think it's not that much,at a month ago some problems happened in my school and a girl recorded and went to the police to make the complaint,and maybe the girl went to the police to complain about his behaviour showing the video (but i can be wrong,im just telling this because i've been included in a situation like this)
At least in Germany you can be fined for showing someone the middle finger, sticking out the tounge and doing other insulting gestures, as it is seen as an insult. Pretty much no one would get the police involved for that but technically you could and the other person could be persecuted for it. I'm pretty sure it's similar in Sweden. So yeah, very much possible that the camera woman was just being anal about it.
We don't know what's true or not and nothing is official since he's just under investigation. Ebu decided to disqualify him which is sad and if it isn't true then it's even more upsetting he got disqualified but at the same time the ebu maybe don't want someone investigated by the police to compete :( ❤️
An official Dutch delegation made this statement. It's pretty serious when the Netherlands sends these people and in my lifetime I have not heard of them releasing false statements, plus since there is clear footage of the incident it would be an enormous blunder for them to make a false statement and would most likely result in them losing their high level job. Which I doubt they would want to risk just to save Joost his reputation. So regarding facts this is as close as you are gonna get, probably more trustworthy than a statement from the local Police or EBU for that matter.
Well, the only official version (with any actual information) I've heard so far is the broadcaster's one and if that's correct there should be video footage. It would be very helpful if the EBU released that footage so all the rumours can finally come to an end...
As an Israeli, people soon came to a conclusion that the fact he wasn't in rehearsals was an act of protest against Eden being in the Final. Lets remember that she is only 21 years old that is only representing her country in a song contest. Even after the news about the incident with the reporter people still blamed Israel. However, I do not think that the EBU disqualifying Joost was a good idea, he was a fan favorite to many people. Everything about the competition this year has been a mess. Please EBU let him participate in the Final.
If it was because of that question it dasn't make sens Her respond was realy good and she made a point with it If there was something more then this, that made dem come to this decision (and it was conected to Israel) I understand but only this isn't enough to kick him out
It was already reported that the incident of him being disqualified has nothing to do with any other contestants or their delegations so this clearly has nothing to do with Israel. As in Israeli even though he has shown such disrespect to Eden it shows more about his character then it has anything to do with the Israeli delegation. And still I am sad to see that he is not participating in The Grand event. He was a fan favorite and they should really come straight out and tell us the reason for his disqualification.
I don't blame Eden. I blame her producer harrasing people i blame morrocan oil obviously wanting the Netherlands out for freedom of speech. Look i have jewish ancestry! i will never support any antisemitism and abuse to jewish people around the world but many people of Israel are acting out of order!!
Aa a Dutchie I can 100% say that Avrotros is super careful with their statements. If they didn’t seriously think the disqualification was disproportionate they wouldn’t have put it like this
the ebu wouldn't of just disqualify them for no reason neither would the police get involved, i dont think we should decide who was in the wrong until after everything is released about this (tbh im leaning towards joost because i feel like since the alagations sent to the police the ebu might of felt like they needed to do something as it came out really short notice)
Police don't need more than the fact that someone files a report to get involved. Whether there's any merit to the report is decided by a prosecutor later.
This year is peak of drama. First participation of Israel, then All Iceland and Finland protest, then possibility of Iceland withdrawal then Natalia insulting Irelands performance on her social media, then this...what next? Someone gets murdered or something? This is just crazy, jeez.
As far as we know, this is the news in The Netherlands; Joost left the stage after the half finals. He was emotional (understandable) and did not want the cameras filming him at that moment. He already had said that he did not liked been filmed 24/7 the moment he got there. Yess, he had signed a contract, apparently all contestants are following around and filmed the whole time they were there. Both sides were trying to work out what would ‘work’ for both sides! So he knew this, they only point was, he did not want the camera straight in his face after his performance, cause it was emotional to him (his song is a tribute to his parents who he lost at a young age) The film crew could of filmed him from a distance, they could of filmed his background dancers, the big blue bird that was with him, they could of done so many things and still get there clip. So Joost made a ‘threatening’ jester by swinging his arm as if he was going to hit the camera lady. She felt threatened and the laws of in Sweden are if you feel threatened, it is a crime, so the police are involved. That’s the whole story that we got here in Holland. Joost himself has not made any comment jet. I The Dutch broadcasting company (AVRO) will make an complaint to wards they EBU, cause they don’t agree either! This has nothing to do with Israel! Look, I’m not for Isreal, but fair is fair! In this case, they have nothing to do with this situation. Hope you all are more up to date on this🤞😊🤞 And for all you fans out there………. THANK YOU for your support💕💕💕
My view is that they were convinced he was going to go off-script and they had to silence him. I hope BT will get their way and shut this contest down!
This is an indication that they can do whatever they want. If they want Netherlands out of the competition they will be doing out. If they want Israel on the top 5 they will be on the top 5. it’s as simple as that.
I would prefer to know the whole of the affair before judging. It's normal and right that the Dutch broadcasters stand by their artist, but it's likely that they have received the majority of their information from their own side. At the same time a company should protect its employee. We don't know what kind of information or instructions the camerapeople were given, and how the behaviour was received from their side.
Called it! To be honest it was going to come down to a Switzerland v. Croatia showdown, production made sure of this. Also, being disqualified is so on brand for Joost Klein, it's the best outcome for him. He's on the short list of disqualified contestants. The writing was on the wall that he was not going to win, so this is on brand for his "edgy" personality and literally the best outcome. He was literally over the whole competition.
Why can't we just put Joost and the crew member in a room, talk it out, have Joost make an apology to her and continue as adults. Why turn this into a police matter?
Apparently the AVROTROS (Dutch broadcaster) suggested this or even a public apology, but she refused to sit down with them and talk about what happened... Instead, the police got involved and Joost was prematurely disqualified.
The woman did'nt want to talk and wanted the police investigation. When the investigation was completed, the police found it was not a criminal case so they did'nt arrest Joost. Common procedure after that is that it becomes a civil case and the police send it to the public court This will take time, weeks probably. But the EBU decided to send Joost away. The EBU not only banned Joost, but a whole nation. They trampled on the Dutch culture, sence of pride and honour. So I hope the EBU had a VERY valid reason to disqualify him!
@@myrtlesocks2811 if that's the case, that opens up the possibility of a veeeeery ugly precedent where anyone could antagonize participants into disqualification if they don't like them..... EBU has opened a can of worms here.
So...just to be clear... he got harassed by some camera lady, he told her to stop and eventually got pissed and verbally aggressive and now HE gets kicked out??? For what? Being a human with a human reaction? What the hell?
They signed a contract agreeing to be filmed…. He literally know what he was signing up for yet let his emotions take over . If you can’t handle the heat don’t sign up for it
@@rightinfrontofmysalad7356 You're twisting the facts. The contract states the contestants were NOT to be filmed backstage. Backstage is meant to unwind, a space of privacy with no cameras or fans. The camera women broke the rules and she wasn't the only one. The complaints about safety and privacy from other countries have been pouring in. EBU effed up and they're gonna pay, literally.
i hate the eurovision only for this reason i thought i was going to enjoy it this morning i was so happy about everything and then i hear about the netherlands drama this sucks i still dont get it.
His behavior at the press conference was childish. I’m not surprised by his actions out of the public eye. Even though I dislike him, it seems extreme to dq him.
He was approched by the camera person, even though there was an agreement to not film the performers after they came offstage. There must be images of the incident! They asked not to be filmed several times, then made a 'threatening' move to the camera... We know from the broadcaster that he didn't touch the woman... Logical conclusion; Most likely the camera got damaged, otherwise this wouldn't be such an issue, neither with the EBU or police... Even Broken camera images can be retreived by the police, unless it had a literal acid bath, or the images were manually deleted... Or when the cameraperson used a phone, and claims privqcy/ no access... Still the question remains: why did the EBU not protect the preformers? Multiple countries (Ireland, Lithuania, UK, Netherlands for sure!) have complained about improprieties and harassment backstage! They failed to protect the artists and delegations! And not to even mention the division between Azerbaijan, Israel and Russia... Why is the last one excluded, if it's about the broadcasters, and the first two aren't??? These countries all have committed warcrimes and genocide in recent years! Anyways; the booing around Israel and Lithuania wasn't perse for their acts! They played right after the time that the disqualified Netherlands 🇳🇱 should have preformed! The audience boo-ed that. For Israel there might've been booing regarding the injustice as well, but it seemed mostly for Joost klein, as Europappa was heard throughout the audience before, during and after Israel's preformance.
Actually artist sign contract to be filmed as long as they’re are on the premise , so technically they production crew didn’t do anything unlawful, is it distasteful? Yea but they knew what they were getting into, signing that contract
They kick him out but not Israel who originally had political views in her songs and Israel is nowhere in Europe. It's favoritism for sure The woman is acting like a victim
@@rightinfrontofmysalad7356 let me explain since you have zero knowledge, the people that were with Israel singer were harassing the other singers and trying to scare them, also since isreal isn't even in Europe and Eurovision doesn't want any political things inside, while they have Israel who's IN A WAR RN and Ukraine but they ban Russia from entering and harass a Palestinian singer a while ago. Don't try to victimize Israel. And how Eurovision is literally being sponsored and supported by an oil company from Israel so of course there is favoritism.
@@namiitang cute that you said I have zero knowledge, when everything you said is literally bs, first of all no one from Israel team harrass anyone , it’s literally said the Eurovision team isn’t giving them the privacy they need , and actually it’s the other countries that harrass Israel by threaten to boycott, so get your facts together , Russia was ban because they refuse to pay the fees because Ukraine didn’t have to cuz they were being “ invaded” and Russia expected the same . All it take is a google on the the ebu statement, stop being a dumb sheep and do research instead of listening to your baseless moots on X. lol
Switzerland won. I wanted that Croatia win but game is game. Eurovision 2025 in Zürich (maybe) see you there Shawn!! And you are so good Eurovision youtuber i want to be in your video im Eurovision fan
If anything it says even more that Israel should not have been allowed to compete. This is all scandal and disgrace. For someone to be disqualified so easily while 34,000 are literally murdered with intent by another qualified country, is so hurtful.
It's quite a coincidence that there are no camera images of it. The EBU had this destroyed. If there were images, this would exonerate Joost and the EBU would to look like a fool
Just to understand. Israel sent a song and had to change the name and some lines because it was political, it is proportional to kick out of the competition, but to remove an artist who threatens a woman is not? interesting
The cameraman's gender is completely irrelevant. Israel has killed tens of thousands of civilians and is torturing captives as we speak. That's a war crime.
@@Marjanne0031actually no, all talents signed contract that as long as they’re on the premise , they’ll be film . So you’re actually wrong on that part .

She invaded his privacy and harassed him, he made a threatening comment and allegedly was violent but they're refusing to elaborate any further leading me to believe that they've already realised they made the wrong decision. Joost probably acted out of frustration rather than genuine intent because of the ongoing harassment by the crew member, and to be honest after being told to stop multiple times and the crew member continuing to go out him- I believe it was completely the crew members fault but he also should not have made that remark.

When someone does not follow the rules and ignores warnings then such incidents occur. In my eyes not pretty but human. Among other things, Joost/AVROTROS wanted to publicly apologize. But the camerawoman rejected all good intentions.
With this cancel policy of the EBU you are completely unsafe as an artist. You just have to put up with any provocative behavior. Otherwise you will be reported and disqualified. So I do not know if such rules really contribute to a safer working environment....
@@emil9528 Yea sure, I'm not really into the theory of cancel culture as I have seen it in social media where people do or say things ages ago and get punished for it or simply for having differing opinions to what's popular.
First of all I must say I haven't read much about how esc works behind the scenes but I do also think with such a big event and management you want to try and avoid unecessary hassle is the best way I can put it.
I also do think that removing someone from an event because of an incident at the event (which I don't think is as cut and clear as everyone makes it out to be, I don't think we have all the info at all and don't really trust either avrotros or ebu in what's right or wrong, in this case I think it's up to police), I do think it is okay whereas when someone get's cancelled from an event because of a tweet or because they did or supported something outside of the event if you get my meaning (apart from criminal acts of course).
But I stand by that I don't think we have the full story. I don't know how contracts work in eurovision or how the ebu operates but I think there's more to this story than this and it could very well be just a huge misunderstanding, people are human after all. But (and I'm not saying you or any specific person does this it's just what I assumt is happening) taking Kleins and his teams words as ultimate truth on how he acted and how the photographer acted seems biased in some way. I don't know
@@emil9528 I don't really know what you mean by cancel policy though? Has any other artist been canceled lately by the ebu? I haven't heard of any but might npt be well read.
It seems like a very specific incident
What did he do wrong? She didn't respect the rules. 🇳🇱🇳🇱
he didnt do anything this is so sad he would have won
@@dionvielvoye3923Sources?
Neither did he. But it was still an overreaction by the EBU
Israel made a call, so they had to desqualify him
@@lanapetrusic5951 Not Israel
I wont be surprised if the Netherlands decides to not participate next year, or ever after this.
It would be a good decision Not to Join and not to pay.
That would be also disproportionate (and on top of that, silly).
Dammit, the Netherlands was my favorite.
Same 😢
He build a full out party during the semi-finals, im so sad.
Same 😭
Me to and croatia
@@matea5530Croatia was my favourite, Netherlands was my runner up and the UK was my third fav. I really love the performances these three people came up with. Seeing Netherlands outed from the finals was heartbreaking and rage-inducing, and UK’s nul points from the audience? That’s the same feeling.
The fact that the recording is easily accessible and to be showed (because it was a camerawoman) and for them to take so long to consider (if it was a true threat it would have been easily brought out way earlier with facts and all) does bring up the question what other factors made them disqualify Joost. If there was a clear form of breaking the rules, they would have shared it earlier and made their decision earlier. It just shows that there is shady stuff going on behind the scenes.
Joost is pro-Palestine and vocal about it. Just saying this could possibly have to do something with this.
i bet [redacted] cried about him being "disprespectful" during that one interview and since they own EBU's asses because the biggest sponsor of eurovision isn't actually moroccan, this is what happened. but that's just my opinion.
@@szingavery strong opinion i do agree
they can't just share the footage, it's a police matter
@@tiny_lebowskieven if they can, a camera woman isn't always recording... like duuh?
I am dutch myself. I think the EBU overreacted. He only made a movement. He didn't say anything ore touched her. It is just nonsense.
what did he do?
Yup, if this is all there is to it, it’s ridiculous. We’ll know the whole context eventually
Exactly and I mean he was not respected as well,he didn't want to be filmed
The camerawoman is a human being as well and has her rights, she may not be famous that doesnt make her less of a human...
He should learn some manners
The decision is 100% justified
@thecitypartoftheinternet But that woman didn't respect his boundaries?
He may be more "famous" but that doesn't give her the right to stick a camera in his face after he repeatedly said that he doesn't want that.
your statement totally sounds like double standards
He didnt even touch her?!?! She invaded his space and he made a threatening movement towards her???? Wtf ebu!?
They were payed by Isr@el to do so
now lets imagine if this was a female act and a male camera person you know dam well the camera person would be out and the act left alone.
You don't need to touch someone to pose a threat. That's what's alleged against him, unlawful threats and in sweden it is taken seriously.
@@rebeccamadsen4509 if genders were reversed, if he was a woman, and she was a man, no one would have reacted
They just used it as an excuse to desqualify him
@@naturelasseumm thats cap… so quite the genderwar
I’m Dutch and I found this absolutely crushing. That man deserves his boundaries, he put his heart in soul into this. Disappointed the other contastants didn’t do something to support him.
Greece, Ireland, and Switzerland protested
Finland also, Kaaija canceld his participation in the live voting
Estonia apparently also debated to withdraw, but at the end of their performance they said dankjewel (thank you). I dont think there was much other contestants could do though
Never even a good song he sang!!!
JOOSTICE FOR JOOST 🇳🇱🇪🇺
Police and court will give him justice :)
No they Will give him somthing better: Joostice
What about a zero tolerance policy to towards disrespecting the artist?
I don't like him much, but the EBU overreacted for sure. Considering the thought behind his song, the dude was probably overwhelmed after his performance and wanted some peace.
There was an agreement that backstage was a private area. No filming
this is either really shady or really disproportionate.
It looks like EBU did everything in their power to help Switzerland win
Pretty easy to do when half the points are awarded by failed career Eurovision wannabes who mean as much as 600mil+ potential voters...
Nemo wasn't even in the top 4 of voters' choice yet he somehow won lol. And it would be less bad if they didn't do it last year to Finland, stacking the jury votes against them so much that even the 50% more votes they got compared to Eurovision royalty couldn't get the actual winner to win. Disgrace
ESC holds a "No Politica" stance, yet once a contestant goes 0.01% political they go 100000000% political and destroy him...
And they say not political but they kicked out russia(not saying russia should be in eurovision but still)
@@Musta0011 they actually kicked Russia out because they weren’t playing nice with the EBU, I think they didn’t pay what they should have or something? It wasn’t political, according to the EBU.
@@JasminMiettunenthat is not true. In official statements by the EBU when it all happened, they were kicked out because of "the ongoing crisis in ukraine"
@@xshme that’s weird, I'm 100% sure I saw an article of EBU or ESC saying it was because of Russias non-compliance with the EBU when Israel was compared to Russia
This situation suggests that a complaint is enough to get a contestant banned. Because the argument is that he can't perform while he's under investigation, not that they concluded he definitely did something wrong. But that seems ripe fur abuse.
Also, filming someone without permission where it's not allowed is also harassment and transgressive behaviour. Arguably worse than what he did (if this is what happened)
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Both the leadership and the crew member fall under the EBU. They won't do this on purpose, but now you do create a precedent where you could practically always kick out a contestant and come out of it with clean hands.
The main sponsor MoroccoOil is actually an Israeli company. Given that many of the countries that have been openly supportive of Israel have had incidents (Ireland missed the rehearsal due to something that caused them to file a report), it is possible that Joost was disqualified for his open dislike of Israel, and that the incident with the camerawoman is simply being used as the excuse.
@@timv17 it just takes one delegation wanting to take out a competitor and you've put yourself in a very difficult position with this precedent. To be clear, everybody has the right for a safe work environment, but then the EBU should've banned him on their own accord, not off load their responsibility towards the Swedish police
It’s not just compliant it’s an ongoing police investigation.
I was soooo excited for this year, but it's just been a SHITSHOW 😢
Bro the next thing is that Estonia will be kicked out bc they were drunk at the national finals and they drink at the finals
That's f*cking mad!! I feel so sorry for Joost
Do I think Eurovision can be saved? Yes. Is it going to take a lot of work. Very much so
We need justice for Joost. She went against his wishes which were agreed upon beforehand and now he has to suffer the consequences. Absolutely disgusting.
The camerawoman was clearly at fault here, Joost literally just pushed the camera, so he wouldn’t be in field of view
He didn’t even touch the camera’s as the reports say.
So it’s precisely like my intuition. An incredible, unimaginable amount of stress leading to a snap reaction at something possibly invasive happening to him. Unbelievable. Sure, there might still be more, but damn that’s depressing.
So he swatted the camera off his face and got disqualified??? Huh???
EXACTLY
WTF, that's insane, like if he had assaulted someone then yeah remove him I guess, but if he didn't even touch her then that insane.
Verbal assault is assault. It's 2024
@@timsonins I don't know the full story so I can't speak for or against either side, but I thought originally it was reported that he hit a reporter or something like that and I was fine (but disappointed) with the removal of that was true. Sounds like it's not so I don't really see a reason for him to be removed if he yelled at the person. From the little info I have, they make it sound like a reporter/camera lady was "harassing" Joost and he got upset about it. Kind of normal behavior in the celebrity world. Like that time Tom Hank yelled at a crowed of people that knocked into his wife.
But again, I don't know the full story, and it sounds like we may never know.
@@timsonins and bullying with a camera isn't?
Joost would might as well harass that female staff member. Clearly Joost didn’t do shit that would be worth his disqualification. Still, I will remember his song and his positive engagement with the audience. “Welkom in Europa, jongen!” the audience chanted.
He did not want to be filmed. I don’t see what’s wrong
Bro this is crazy that song was fire
So sad for Joost, his dreams were cut short because of bad behavior by the camera person. 🥺🥺
2 things need to happen: 1. We need to see her footage and if it is not bad enough to warrent this pushinment then 2: She needs to be fired and never be allowed back at a job at this high of a level ever again.
It might not be bad to your standards, but according to the standards of the Swedish organisation it was bad enough.
It's possible the woman is refusing to share the video since it's on her phone.
#JUSTICEFORJOOST
So regardless, don’t physically threaten/attack cameras person, whether you make contact or not!!
Stop ignoring and pretending he is innocent just because u liked the song!!🤦♂️
Yes!!!!! It baffles me why he gets any support. I bet those poeple resonate with the phras "look what you made do"
He didn't attack a camara person, he went to shove a camera out of his face from a woman who was harrassing him
nobody is ignoring or pretending he's innocent, it's about innocent until proven guilty and proportional or unproportional measurements afterwards.
@@joceery agreed. But still they are a lot of poeple defending him.
oh dear this is insane
This doesn’t sound like what really happened. Why would the police investigate because of a “threatening movement”? There’s either more to the story or the disqualification is just unfair.
EBU is very shady
Because the woman went to the police. The police should take these matters seriously whether or not the report was made in good conscience.
Joost was like 80% the right and they 100% over reacted
Imagine someone telling you to not flim them, then they continue to the point you became frustrated and made 1 remake. BOOM everything you worked for is out the window.
It honestly seems that they had no intention or interest in wanting Joost winning.
I don't condone violence but he wasn't violent he was threatening.
The man is human, cut him some slack for REPEATEDLY ASKING THEM TO STOP AND THEM REFUSING
There will not be a eurovision in 2030 I believe. This is the start of there stupid downfall, completely because of there own stupidity
Well, the camera woman is doing her job. If you're gonna be on a show like Eurovision you'll need to be able to deal with being filmed.
You don’t know what doing your job is.
She should have respected his privacy.
Dude thats what you get for not listening to his request multiple times…. She assaulted Joost Klein and bothered him
he won in my heart.
Joost🇳🇱🇳🇱
But with police being involved … I don’t think they tell the full story
Of course
i agree,but i think it's not that much,at a month ago some problems happened in my school and a girl recorded and went to the police to make the complaint,and maybe the girl went to the police to complain about his behaviour showing the video (but i can be wrong,im just telling this because i've been included in a situation like this)
The police said it was a minor incident and might maybe lead to a fine. So it's all blown out of proportion.
At least in Germany you can be fined for showing someone the middle finger, sticking out the tounge and doing other insulting gestures, as it is seen as an insult. Pretty much no one would get the police involved for that but technically you could and the other person could be persecuted for it. I'm pretty sure it's similar in Sweden. So yeah, very much possible that the camera woman was just being anal about it.
This is Sweden. People aren't generally afraid of getting the police involved.
We don't know what's true or not and nothing is official since he's just under investigation. Ebu decided to disqualify him which is sad and if it isn't true then it's even more upsetting he got disqualified but at the same time the ebu maybe don't want someone investigated by the police to compete :( ❤️
An official Dutch delegation made this statement. It's pretty serious when the Netherlands sends these people and in my lifetime I have not heard of them releasing false statements, plus since there is clear footage of the incident it would be an enormous blunder for them to make a false statement and would most likely result in them losing their high level job. Which I doubt they would want to risk just to save Joost his reputation. So regarding facts this is as close as you are gonna get, probably more trustworthy than a statement from the local Police or EBU for that matter.
I would not care if we wouldn't send anyone next year
There’s been so many different versions of what happened it’s hard to know what really happened since none of us were there to witness this incident
There is footage if the Israeli producer harrasing people no one can deny that!!
@@gentlebabarianthey literally weren’t Israeli
It was a producer
The most reliable source is the Dutch broadcaster. Don't mind others
Well, the only official version (with any actual information) I've heard so far is the broadcaster's one and if that's correct there should be video footage. It would be very helpful if the EBU released that footage so all the rumours can finally come to an end...
@@Snowshowslowit's a police matter, they can't release the footage
As an Israeli, people soon came to a conclusion that the fact he wasn't in rehearsals was an act of protest against Eden being in the Final. Lets remember that she is only 21 years old that is only representing her country in a song contest. Even after the news about the incident with the reporter people still blamed Israel. However, I do not think that the EBU disqualifying Joost was a good idea, he was a fan favorite to many people. Everything about the competition this year has been a mess. Please EBU let him participate in the Final.
If it was because of that question it dasn't make sens
Her respond was realy good and she made a point with it
If there was something more then this, that made dem come to this decision (and it was conected to Israel) I understand but only this isn't enough to kick him out
It was already reported that the incident of him being disqualified has nothing to do with any other contestants or their delegations so this clearly has nothing to do with Israel.
As in Israeli even though he has shown such disrespect to Eden it shows more about his character then it has anything to do with the Israeli delegation.
And still I am sad to see that he is not participating in The Grand event. He was a fan favorite and they should really come straight out and tell us the reason for his disqualification.
I don't blame Eden. I blame her producer harrasing people i blame morrocan oil obviously wanting the Netherlands out for freedom of speech.
Look i have jewish ancestry! i will never support any antisemitism and abuse to jewish people around the world but many people of Israel are acting out of order!!
“Now we’re in trouble”
*Big grin*
That is literally the definition of the show 😂
Least political EBU moment
Aa a Dutchie I can 100% say that Avrotros is super careful with their statements. If they didn’t seriously think the disqualification was disproportionate they wouldn’t have put it like this
europapa would be in the place of Switzerland rn and would win first if they didn’t do this stupid thing. I loved that song
Still holding off my judgements until we get *both* sides of the story.
OK if this is true then the ebu definitely overreacted
the ebu wouldn't of just disqualify them for no reason neither would the police get involved, i dont think we should decide who was in the wrong until after everything is released about this (tbh im leaning towards joost because i feel like since the alagations sent to the police the ebu might of felt like they needed to do something as it came out really short notice)
Police don't need more than the fact that someone files a report to get involved. Whether there's any merit to the report is decided by a prosecutor later.
Wait I dont get it. They ruined Eurovsion 2024 JUST BECAUSE ONE GUY SHOWED THE MIDDLE FINGER?!?!? This is outrageous
This year is peak of drama. First participation of Israel, then All Iceland and Finland protest, then possibility of Iceland withdrawal then Natalia insulting Irelands performance on her social media, then this...what next? Someone gets murdered or something? This is just crazy, jeez.
You shouldn't celebrate the win of switzerland because the judges decided to win or not the people which Not the choice of the people
Jury AND people gave high votes for Switzerland.
As far as we know, this is the news in The Netherlands;
Joost left the stage after the half finals.
He was emotional (understandable) and did not want the cameras filming him at that moment.
He already had said that he did not liked been filmed 24/7 the moment he got there.
Yess, he had signed a contract, apparently all contestants are following around and filmed the whole time they were there.
Both sides were trying to work out what would ‘work’ for both sides!
So he knew this, they only point was, he did not want the camera straight in his face after his performance, cause it was emotional to him (his song is a tribute to his parents who he lost at a young age)
The film crew could of filmed him from a distance, they could of filmed his background dancers, the big blue bird that was with him, they could of done so many things and still get there clip.
So Joost made a ‘threatening’ jester by swinging his arm as if he was going to hit the camera lady.
She felt threatened and the laws of in Sweden are if you feel threatened, it is a crime, so the police are involved.
That’s the whole story that we got here in Holland.
Joost himself has not made any comment jet. I
The Dutch broadcasting company (AVRO) will make an complaint to wards they EBU, cause they don’t agree either!
This has nothing to do with Israel!
Look, I’m not for Isreal, but fair is fair!
In this case, they have nothing to do with this situation.
Hope you all are more up to date on this🤞😊🤞
And for all you fans out there……….
THANK YOU for your support💕💕💕
My view is that they were convinced he was going to go off-script and they had to silence him. I hope BT will get their way and shut this contest down!
This is an indication that they can do whatever they want. If they want Netherlands out of the competition they will be doing out. If they want Israel on the top 5 they will be on the top 5. it’s as simple as that.
I would prefer to know the whole of the affair before judging. It's normal and right that the Dutch broadcasters stand by their artist, but it's likely that they have received the majority of their information from their own side.
At the same time a company should protect its employee. We don't know what kind of information or instructions the camerapeople were given, and how the behaviour was received from their side.
The information is coming from the police. It was also agreed upon beforehand that he wasn’t to be filmed coming off stage.
Well, the EBU isn't going to say anything so this is all we have. I think that the Dutch broadcaster is a reliable source.
Called it! To be honest it was going to come down to a Switzerland v. Croatia showdown, production made sure of this. Also, being disqualified is so on brand for Joost Klein, it's the best outcome for him. He's on the short list of disqualified contestants. The writing was on the wall that he was not going to win, so this is on brand for his "edgy" personality and literally the best outcome. He was literally over the whole competition.
Why can't we just put Joost and the crew member in a room, talk it out, have Joost make an apology to her and continue as adults. Why turn this into a police matter?
He didn’t want to apologize. He even sang “I love you all! (Apart from this one photographer)”
Apparently the AVROTROS (Dutch broadcaster) suggested this or even a public apology, but she refused to sit down with them and talk about what happened... Instead, the police got involved and Joost was prematurely disqualified.
The woman did'nt want to talk and wanted the police investigation. When the investigation was completed, the police found it was not a criminal case so they did'nt arrest Joost. Common procedure after that is that it becomes a civil case and the police send it to the public court This will take time, weeks probably. But the EBU decided to send Joost away. The EBU not only banned Joost, but a whole nation. They trampled on the Dutch culture, sence of pride and honour. So I hope the EBU had a VERY valid reason to disqualify him!
@@myrtlesocks2811 if that's the case, that opens up the possibility of a veeeeery ugly precedent where anyone could antagonize participants into disqualification if they don't like them..... EBU has opened a can of worms here.
So...just to be clear... he got harassed by some camera lady, he told her to stop and eventually got pissed and verbally aggressive and now HE gets kicked out??? For what? Being a human with a human reaction? What the hell?
They signed a contract agreeing to be filmed…. He literally know what he was signing up for yet let his emotions take over . If you can’t handle the heat don’t sign up for it
@@rightinfrontofmysalad7356 You're twisting the facts. The contract states the contestants were NOT to be filmed backstage. Backstage is meant to unwind, a space of privacy with no cameras or fans. The camera women broke the rules and she wasn't the only one. The complaints about safety and privacy from other countries have been pouring in. EBU effed up and they're gonna pay, literally.
@@Goikuchan bro you’re dumb all it take is a google. They signed up to be film as long as they’re on the premise , which include the backstage
i hate the eurovision only for this reason
i thought i was going to enjoy it this morning i was so happy about everything and then i hear about the netherlands drama this sucks i still dont get it.
As a Dutchie who has watched Eurovision for 26 years, I'm so highly dissapointed. AVROTROS should've gotten a big fine and nothing more. This is sad.
And then in future other artist will be abusive towards staff and then just be bailed out. Unacceptable.
Honestly joost did not deserve to be disqualified ebu are so stupid
also the reason why he did not want to be filmed after the performance, was because of the emotional moment at the end of his song.
Switzerland won!!!! 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
netherlands deserved better he would've won but switcherland won
Support from France, loved his song
They did it for his staments and actions towards the israeli delegation. EBU is lieing about their reasons
His behavior at the press conference was childish. I’m not surprised by his actions out of the public eye. Even though I dislike him, it seems extreme to dq him.
He was approched by the camera person, even though there was an agreement to not film the performers after they came offstage. There must be images of the incident! They asked not to be filmed several times, then made a 'threatening' move to the camera...
We know from the broadcaster that he didn't touch the woman...
Logical conclusion; Most likely the camera got damaged, otherwise this wouldn't be such an issue, neither with the EBU or police...
Even Broken camera images can be retreived by the police, unless it had a literal acid bath, or the images were manually deleted... Or when the cameraperson used a phone, and claims privqcy/ no access...
Still the question remains: why did the EBU not protect the preformers? Multiple countries (Ireland, Lithuania, UK, Netherlands for sure!) have complained about improprieties and harassment backstage! They failed to protect the artists and delegations!
And not to even mention the division between Azerbaijan, Israel and Russia... Why is the last one excluded, if it's about the broadcasters, and the first two aren't??? These countries all have committed warcrimes and genocide in recent years!
Anyways; the booing around Israel and Lithuania wasn't perse for their acts! They played right after the time that the disqualified Netherlands 🇳🇱 should have preformed! The audience boo-ed that.
For Israel there might've been booing regarding the injustice as well, but it seemed mostly for Joost klein, as Europappa was heard throughout the audience before, during and after Israel's preformance.
Actually artist sign contract to be filmed as long as they’re are on the premise , so technically they production crew didn’t do anything unlawful, is it distasteful? Yea but they knew what they were getting into, signing that contract
Nothing got damaged
It literally was just a threatening gesture
Don't cry because he's disqualified
Smile because he sang
JUSTICE FOR JOOST !!!!
The Netherlands' Joost Klein --- the Top3 (or Top5) finisher we never had.
that's too heavy
Love from CYPRUS🇨🇾 ❤️
They kick him out but not Israel who originally had political views in her songs and Israel is nowhere in Europe. It's favoritism for sure
The woman is acting like a victim
What does Israel have to do with him assaulting a production member? Why do y’all like to bring Israel into everything
@@rightinfrontofmysalad7356 let me explain since you have zero knowledge, the people that were with Israel singer were harassing the other singers and trying to scare them, also since isreal isn't even in Europe and Eurovision doesn't want any political things inside, while they have Israel who's IN A WAR RN and Ukraine but they ban Russia from entering and harass a Palestinian singer a while ago. Don't try to victimize Israel. And how Eurovision is literally being sponsored and supported by an oil company from Israel so of course there is favoritism.
@@namiitang cute that you said I have zero knowledge, when everything you said is literally bs, first of all no one from Israel team harrass anyone , it’s literally said the Eurovision team isn’t giving them the privacy they need , and actually it’s the other countries that harrass Israel by threaten to boycott, so get your facts together , Russia was ban because they refuse to pay the fees because Ukraine didn’t have to cuz they were being “ invaded” and Russia expected the same . All it take is a google on the the ebu statement, stop being a dumb sheep and do research instead of listening to your baseless moots on X. lol
Switzerland won. I wanted that Croatia win but game is game. Eurovision 2025 in Zürich (maybe) see you there Shawn!! And you are so good Eurovision youtuber i want to be in your video im Eurovision fan
He only made a threatening move after asking them repeatedly to stop
Congratulations to Joost who got blessed with the best marketing campaign ever.
Thats stupid😢
AGREED
Joost should request compensation through the court.
i dont get it what did he do wrong??
If anything it says even more that Israel should not have been allowed to compete. This is all scandal and disgrace. For someone to be disqualified so easily while 34,000 are literally murdered with intent by another qualified country, is so hurtful.
yall bambie thug might be leaving aswell😭
Nemo and Marina too and ugh they are my favs
It's quite a coincidence that there are no camera images of it. The EBU had this destroyed. If there were images, this would exonerate Joost and the EBU would to look like a fool
Do a short about the ebu censuring Portugals grand final video this year. They only posted it after the televotes where closed.
Just to understand. Israel sent a song and had to change the name and some lines because it was political, it is proportional to kick out of the competition, but to remove an artist who threatens a woman is not? interesting
Define 'threaten'. They said that he only made gesture towards the camera because he didn't want to be filmed (which was also agreed upon)
@Marjanne0031 we both can't define it because both of us haven't been there
@@IdanCohen81 I agree, but then we also don't know if it is righteous to disqualify him, right?
The cameraman's gender is completely irrelevant.
Israel has killed tens of thousands of civilians and is torturing captives as we speak. That's a war crime.
@@Marjanne0031actually no, all talents signed contract that as long as they’re on the premise , they’ll be film . So you’re actually wrong on that part .
This is everything he saidd 2 times respected that he dont want to be filmed but she kept filming
Is anyone rich enough to make a Eurovision Festival with the Real winner and FanFavourites with bands from Italy(2021), Finland(2023), Netherland and Croatia (2024) and some more Fan Favourites? This would be 1000x better as the shit the jury decided what is best.
I kinda feel like there's more to the story
Same, this seems like such a non-issue if it happened the way the Dutch broadcaster is claiming.
@@thrillho4209EBU overreacted
Im waiting for the swiss win video..
Free joost
so why is he disqualified? on what grounds?
A threat to the safety of crew members....
There is an active police investigation. If it was as reported by Dutch media, it seems ridiculous and unjustified.
She invaded his privacy and harassed him, he made a threatening comment and allegedly was violent but they're refusing to elaborate any further leading me to believe that they've already realised they made the wrong decision.
Joost probably acted out of frustration rather than genuine intent because of the ongoing harassment by the crew member, and to be honest after being told to stop multiple times and the crew member continuing to go out him-
I believe it was completely the crew members fault but he also should not have made that remark.
Since Joost was disqualified it would only be fair if there were some sort of penalty for the unprofessional camerawoman.
All this drama is honestly pointless I feel bad for Joost and all his fans and hope that everything clears up
L Eurovision for not chosing Joost Klein and instead choosing a gay fish#justiceforjoost
