“Sodeju!”, one of the attendees responded to X. “This guy combines party, harmony and love in one person. Everyone can use Joost in their lives.

Ten cameras
Eurovision Song Contest expert JJ Kooijman was also present. “He opened and closed the party with Urubaba,” he says in Goedemorgen Nederland on NPO 1. “It was a big party.”
Ghost recorded a live video. “With ten cameras. At one point, Ghost stood in the middle of the room surrounded by a large circle of fans. There was a large hole where he was lifted above the audience.
Open and honest
What makes Ghost so charming? Kooijman: “It brings a deeper layer of poetry in a way that we're not used to. And also his honesty, openness, creativity and the fact that he can really connect with young people. He definitely has a chance.”
Jean-Paul Heck (Editor-in-Chief of Soundz) agrees. “I'm curious to see if he can translate the deeper layer into performance. The question is whether he will do it in English.”
