Sweden 2022: Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer

[GinAg (39)]

YOUR WINNER

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is immediately elevated to my FAVOURITE.

Although not very difficult.

 

[Soldi]

Yep, this is my favourite too. It’s going to be a Sweden/Italy/Ukraine top three in some order I reckon.

 

[Kratz]

I do wonder to what extent this is going to take votes from Brividi (hopefully a lot! )

 

[ButterTart]

I do wonder to what extent this is going to take votes from Brividi (hopefully a lot! )

As long as it doesn't rob votes from the UK. I feel like we can co-exist quite nicely.

 

[Halloumi]

Iconic entry.

 

[Apoca]

DOUZE.

 

[win_the_game]

Best thing Sweden has sent since Euphoria.

 

[Soldi]

Can we have a POLL?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Can we have a POLL?

Done!

 

[Apoca]

Best female-led Scandinavian entry since "I Feed You My Love".

 

[Alias #23]

Best thing Sweden has sent since Euphoria.

Absolutely this. It actually SAYS something. (Mind you, I did like Undo from Sandra Nailbomb.) Thank God the horrifying run of unedifyingly slick crud from potential rapists has finally come to an end

 

[Penelope]

THIS BITCH CALLED IT

Nearly all of them performed for Sweden, but fuck me it was a dull period, particularly after knowing what tasty delights the Swedes are capable of.

 

[Mats]

almost worse than the Danish entry. a disastrous year for the Scandis

 

[Alias #23]

I do like that spinning circle prop thing. I’m not sure what it expresses exactly but was a Bergman film ever clear-cut? NO!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Also I do like that circle prop thing. I’m not sure what it expresses exactly but was a Bergman film ever clear-cut? NO!

Simple/ effective.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Maybe it's a hole.

 

[Apoca]

almost worse than the Danish entry. a disastrous year for the Scandis

Really should've spent those 300€ on an Yv*a and L*nda BANGER

REPORTED

 

[Alias #23]

Maybe it's a hole.

Maybe it’s an ABYSS

 

[GinAg (39)]

I wish the lyrics were just a bit more BEREFT/ TRAGIC.

 

[Alias #23]

Obviously it’s a different genre entirely but “I know I have to let go but just give me the night” does evoke Shannon’s utterly stunning ‘Give Me Tonight’ (if not necessarily its thrilling History Repeating theme) and to my mind is THE key moment of the song

OH THANK GOD THIS WON AND NOT EL SHOUTY

 

[Alias #23]

I wish the lyrics were just a bit more BEREFT/ TRAGIC.

Well they’re not exactly FUN FUN FUN!

 

[Alla]

ESC winner alert.

 

[Alias #23]

Why exactly are the Swedish public so obsessed with Anders Bagge? That was such a horrible shouted mess. Surely they don’t all want to have him up them? I do obviously recognise that my proclivities are not universal

 

[GinAg (39)]

Well they’re not exactly FUN FUN FUN!

I WANT SADDER.

 

[Alias #23]

I WANT SADDER.

Poor Corny’s life is about to come to a CRASHING HALT!

 

[Alias #23]

This must surely have been mentioned already but the THROWING FORWARD OF HEAD AND HAIR moment is fucking GOLD

[OutSynk]

I don’t get it.

THIS BITCH CALLED IT

I bet on her at 13/1, she's now 11/2 (5.5/1) to win Eurovision

 

[dmlaw]

Wait. Was this the one you all liked? It’s fine but it’s made to come 6th to 10th in the final, just like all recent Swedish entries.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I do wonder to what extent this is going to take votes from Brividi (hopefully a lot! )

You’re assuming Brividi is getting votes, to begin with

 

[Lucille]

The scenes when Brividi wins.

 

[Lucille]

Not that I don’t like this but it does sound like a Cardigans album track with the pathos SURGICALLY REMOVED.

 

[Alex]

You’re assuming Brividi is getting votes, to begin with

I listened to it once DULL AS

 

[Soldi]

You’re assuming Brividi is getting votes, to begin with

You need to stop eating those snails love they’re working their way up to your BRAIN.

Yes but it was SLIM PICKINGS and this was the best on offer.
