the netherlands got disqualified, the dutch flag got taken down, malta might replace them, spain might withdraw, the israhell delegation has been looking for beef with people, the ebu website is down, no one knows what's going on, not even singers, the atmosphere is tense
and then there's italy being delulu and signing imagine in the midst of the fire
As a Dutch citizen I would like to clarify some news about Joost's disqualification from the finale of Eurovision
A lot of stories are still going around so I am here to set the record straight: Joost Klein was repeatedly filmed by a camera worker after it was agreed upon that would NOT happen. The worker in question kept filming him and ignored his request to stop multiple times.
Finally Joost made a threatening gesture. He did NOT touch the worker. The worker has decided to go to the authorities.
The EBU has decided to disqualify Joost because of this incident. The AVRO Tros. The Dutch broadcaster of Eurovision has tried to discuss the issue and mentioned several different solutions so Joost could still preform. They describe this punishment as extreme. But the decision was final.
Joost and the AVRO Tros are very sorry and saddened about the situation.
So to summarise:
1. Joost didn't hit anyone
2. The Israeli delegation was not involved.
3. Eurovision will still be broadcasted in the Netherlands.
4. The Netherlands will still vote.
I hope this has clarified the situation. Joost is innocent until proven guilty. Please show him your love and support.
Baby Lasagna just performed at the 2024 Sea Star Festival in Umag (the place where he grew up). That's a powerful performance where many have been looking forward to and it can be the music festival's BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT.
Hearing those energy from the audience is TOTAL GOOSEBUMPS! 🔥🔥🔥
