Sweden 2022: Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer

[Lucille]

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

But this is Eurovision not Grindr after a bag of LOW QUALITY COCAINE.

 

[OutSynk]

Couldn’t they go with another pretty generic white boy? At least there would be something to look at.

 

[Dark Carnival]

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

The BREXIT ENERGY!!!!

The BREXIT ENERGY!!!!

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

It feels like a modern-classic doesn't it?
Very glad the Finals performance tightened up everything that needed fine-tuning from the Semi version.

I hope Cornelia likes the song, as she's still going to be performing it in 40 years time

 

[Penelope]

This is really obviously a. a modern classic and b. winning Eurovision.

 

[ButterTart]

People criticising this but praising Brividi and that Portuguese one? You need to find Jesus.

I hate them all.

 

[Soldi]

Who, exactly?

 

[Iguana]

Who, exactly?

He's a Christian icon

 

[Halloumi]

I think what bodes well about Corny’s chances is the 70 on the televote. Comfortable second above the likes of Medina, having been announced as winning the jury mid way through too. Speaks to a popular appeal. Bagge was clearly going to win the televote but he didn’t absolutely murder her.

 

[GNL]

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

And us Little Cardigansters know the pathos is the best bit

 

[Penelope]

Of COURSE this has pathos!!

 

[Halloumi]

Yeah wtf- loads of pathos ?!

 

[GinAg (39)]

The lyrics are "this is shit, but it will probably be OK, you can go, but you should also stay, but you know, only if you want."

The performance is dumped on a night out devastation.

It's DRIPPING IN PATHOS.

 

[Halloumi]

I find the lyrics bittersweet and devastating in their simplicity

 

[Iguana]

The performance last night was fantastic (just catching up now). I have really gone a u-turn on this as I only thought it was okay during heat one. It's now my favourite of the contest!

 

[rhythmbandit]

Wasn't keen on first listen but it slowly grew on me. I would have preferred Medina, Klara or Anna to win but this will do. An easy top 5 finish in the final but I don't really see it as a winner.

 

[lolly]

Love the song, but not entirely pleased by her voice.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

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

I truly admire your bravery posting this last night

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I only heard it yesterday and was disappointed because everyone made it sound like it was going to be so much better, but if everyone is raving about it then it will hopefully do well.

 

[Apoca]

I know I have to let go but just GIVE ME THE NI-I-IGHT.

That's all. That's the ad-lib.

 

[Tisch]

I assume #1 is Brividi?

 

[Alias #23]

I assume #1 is Brividi?

No, Circus Mircus

 

[win_the_game]

I assume #1 is Brividi?

I think so. Brividi has spent it's 7th straight week at no. 1 on the Italian charts.

 

[GinAg (39)]

 

[Tisch]

No, Circus Mircus

Not even ON Spotify! Hurry up lads!

 

[Hak]

How Cornelia enters a contest.

 

[Iguana]

I hope she didn't catch a chill

 

[Kratz]

How Cornelia enters a contest.

Let’s just hope this isn’t how she leaves

 

[dUb]

I thought this was pretty STUNNIN last night!

Better than the Melfest final, and on a par with the first heat

Apart from the 8 seconds when we were looking at the back of her head

 

[FetchFugly]

Watching it back today the vocal performance is better and the camerawork not quite as catastrophic as I thought. I do think the MF final was stronger but still excellent:



She doesn't look as much like Emma Willis with her hair now.

 

[Lucille]

They didn’t adequately capture the iconic HAIR FLIP.

 

[Mother Superior]

Can't stop playing this. Chills!

 

[Halloumi]

It's iconic lads, let's be fair

 

[LTZ]

Have now decided that this is my favourite, it was always good, but after listening to it a few times now I am properly obsessed. This and Brividi.. and Spain obviously.

 

[Dark Carnival]

It's iconic lads, let's be fair

Honestly, thank God for this queen!

 

[Apoca]

It's the best song of 2022 - even outside of the ESC context - so far.

But I feel less stressed going in with the assumption it's a 3rd or 4th placed at best tonight.

 

[Nancy]

She added a massive high note into the performance for the Juries last night, apparently
