with videoThe blue bird has not yet flown and Joost Klein goes from 100 to 0 at the end of his Eurovision act. This is evident from a video of the second rehearsal. At the emotional conclusion of Europapa Klein is shown very closely.
Since the first rehearsal on Tuesday, Joost Klein had to give up two places in the betting offices when it comes to the chance of victory next Saturday. The ‘blame’ for this was laid on the introduction of the big blue ‘Pino bird’, the disguise of vlogger Appie Mussa. There was immediate speculation among Eurovision fans: would the bird disappear from the act?
Not yet, but Klein doesn’t have to deliver his final performance for the first time until next week. A theory that is alive among the followers: the Finnish singer Käärijä, who finished second last year with Cha-cha-cha, would replace the blue bird on stage next week. The question is whether that is correct. It would suit Klein, who likes to surprise.
Kot kot
In addition, shortly before the Eurovision Song Contest, videos of Klein and Käärijä, who get along well, appeared on social media. In the theories, the blue bird is a reference to the single Kot Kot which Käärijä recently released, kot kot is in Finnish what tok tok is in our country: the sound of a chicken.

The video that was released on Friday shows how the act ends. The emotional final piece, in which Klein addresses his deceased father, is delivered subtly. Klein stands in one spotlight and looks into the camera while speaking his subtitled text, allowing him to optimally convey the emotion. Right before that ‘outro’ there is still a lot of party on screen.
Stunt gnome
The video also shows how two dancers in white support him and how his friends Stuntkabouter and Appie Mussa flank him. Images leaked on Tuesday that provided more clarity about the ‘visuals’ in the act, the supporting images on the video screens.
Klein now has to wait until Wednesday, when he will perform again for the first time. These are the first two rehearsals for the second semi-final. He feeds on Thursdays Europapa again twice; first in the dress rehearsal and finally in the semi-final on Thursday evening. If he continues, he will immediately have to work four times again on Friday and Saturday.
