Eurovision Song Contest update: This is how late Joost Klein will be on stage tonight | Eurovision Song Contest

Joost Klein is looking forward to it, as became clear at his hotel on Thursday morning. The musician is happy that there are now real fans and gets energy from a full hall. The fact that he has fallen further with the bookmakers has no effect on this. There were also some fans present at the so-called farewell moment Europapa yelled at Klein.

The 26-year-old artist also hopes to get viewers at home involved in the semi-finals. They will vote tonight whether he gets a place in the final. What does he want to convey to the television viewer? “Openness, honesty, sincerity. Crying is okay. Emotions are okay. Just google it”wheel of emotion‘. There’s a hell of a lot of them.”

Not looking forward to the whole Eurovision Song Contest, but don’t want to miss Joost Klein’s performance? Then you can turn on the television at 10:30 PM. That’s when it starts Europapa and you might even get a glimpse of Norway’s entry.

It is about 45 minutes from Klein’s performance until we hear whether he has advanced to the final. Do you want to be sure? Then you have to stay until 11:15 PM.

You’ll see it tonight: there will be between performances a lot of chatter. That may sometimes feel a bit long-winded and exaggerated, but there really is no other way. For example, Latvia has brought along a huge tube that takes a few minutes to build. About ten people have to work on it at the same time.

And you wouldn’t know it, but the glitter pyramid that the Austrian singer has hanging above her head also takes a lot of time to hang. So while you watch the (sometimes successful, sometimes lame) jokes by Petra Mede and Malin Akerman, we are working hard on the decor.
