Joost Klein left for Malmö on Monday morning for the Eurovision Song Contest. The artist has his first rehearsals on Wednesday. “Someone is going to give twelve points anyway.”
“I slept more than I expected,” says Klein, who is preparing for a week full of rehearsals. On Thursday, May 9, he will be in the second semi-final and hopes to get a ticket for the final two days later.
The first rehearsals have already started. Klein will be on stage for the first time in Malmö on Wednesday. Some photos of the performance he will give can be seen via the official Eurovision channel.
Klein is not a fan of that. “You’re not going to film rehearsals for a magician, are you?” He prefers to keep everything secret until the semi-final. “What can we say about our show?” he asks Gover Meit, who will join us as creative director. “No, not that moon landing again,” he says, laughing when Meit whispers something to him.

Twelve points is ‘the bare minimum’
From the start, Klein has used ‘Twelve points to The Netherlands’ to promote itself. By this he refers to the maximum number of twelve points that a jury can award to an entry.
How sure is he of that now? “Well, someone’s going to give twelve points anyway. Come on, that’s the bare minimum. My goal was twelve points, that’s what I said from the start. No, what do you want me to say? ‘Yeah, I’m number one, I’m the best!’ No, I’d like some more coffee for that.”
Joost Klein joins in with his song Europapa. He will try to reach the final on May 11. There he would compete against 25 other countries for the win.
