Europapa

Postby Azov steel 2022 » Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:46 am

What do you think about the song from the Netherlands for Eurovision 2024 "Europapa"?

I really liked the song to be honest and I think its content is interesting, what is your opinion also interesting.

I have no strong opinion. Though, I like the basic theme of European unity.

I agree with you. The idea of ​​European unity and diversity in the song gives a sense of a real good and cultural society.

Also, I want to note that I don't like the singer's personality. Joost made songs about love for Russia and was in Russia after it attacked Ukraine. In any case, it will never be my favorite

After some research, though, Joost isn't all that bad. Everyone has their own opinion and so does he, but he is rather a person who loves everyone, but is not political

I don't know, the message of European unity is nice and all, and the artist clearly has skill... but that song itself strikes me as both generic and incredibly obnoxious at the same time.

But then again I'm more of an Ich Kündige guy, so I'm biased.

I feel it too. The song is good and the idea is good, but Joost himself is not an unambiguous person due to the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. Because of that, it's not my vote at this Eurovision.

Honestly, for the next like 10 hours, could we just forget all the controversies surrounding ESC2024, and just think about the music?

I saw the information. I don't support violence, but why insult Joost's dead parents?

They did. The top five were:

1. Switzerland
2. Croatia
3. Ukraine
4. France
5. Israel


And Ireland came sixth which is class after not having been in the final in ages.

Flemish Belgian here. The song was catchy, and will stay popular and become a Eurovision classic. Little bit sad he wasn't in the final... But I hear it tooo often on the radio though.. But that's maybe typical for Flemish media to put popular songs tooo much on the radio so that everyone becomes tired of it after a time :p
Still waiting on more details on what happened, before I judge. I can't do now, without knowing more details.
Otherwise: what a show. Luxie is back after three decades with a good song. Love Italy and France too. And love Petra Mede.

In the original dialects of North Brabant and Limburg, true. But have the impression that the hard-G is becoming more common there too. Atleast, in Woensdrecht. I often go to the AH there, and hear the hard G a lot.
