Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer - LIVE - Sweden 🇸🇪 - Grand Final - Eurovision 2022 

Same

Clever. :)

True

That's the UK song and artist. They found the right one at the wrong time. Sweden was only fourth so wouldn't have stood a prayer against the UK and Spain even without the sympathy vote for Ukraine.

@@CandleLight1974 but we don't know how the votes would've turned out

@@turtellok4964 unless 75% of ukraine vote went to sweden that wudnt happen i think spain wud win cause uk got lower points from public than other top songs did

JUSTE truqué ;!! Comme on dit en France

@@isabelleodant5236 c'est pas truqué. Va ennuyer quelqu'un d'autre 🤪

@Maria I mean, yes and no. It is the same note, but it's an octave higher than the original one. It also ends differently than the original note, with the word "night" being sung differently.

@Maria yeah, but it's an octave higher than the original note

i thought “but this kills me tonight” for such a long time omg

Buddy, as soon as Ukraine joined no other country stood a chance unfortunately.

@@ovyle Yeah that is true, but the fact that an ass-shaking Spaniard got more points is just silly. Ukraine needed the win, even tho the song was meh

@@victorgustafsson6988 And that is how you know that 'group think' is so poisonous. People got mesmerized by dance and lights instead of listening to songs' lyrics. If people only understood the Spanish entry's lyrics, I don't think they would have voted for it.

@@victorgustafsson6988 Bro fr, she sucked I bet only old p3do men voted for her

@@victorgustafsson6988 As someone who enjoyed both Sweden's and Spain's song, both songs are very different and appeal for different reasons and both singers conveyed their songs greatly. Spain's song was more shallow in terms of what the lyrics were talking about, yes they were, does that make it a bad song? No, if it's appealing to the ear and people enjoy it I don't see what's wrong. + Even though it's a Song Festival, the stage they put out in the Festival matters a LOT and Chanel delivered great vocals while still showing great dance skills and stage presence, so I think undermining her as just "an ass-shaking Spaniard" is kind of rude and wrong :) Sweden was my winner, but I would never be agaisnt Spain winning in 2022. Ukraine and UK weren't it for me, though, just not my style.

Exactly ❤

She should win the next contest! She deserves the 1st place; it doesn't matter today or tomorrow ^^

Chart Hit Song!

She did indeed won my heart, such a powerful performance. Love it ❤️💯

Totally, beautiful song and best performance by far, Cornelia Jakobs, Eurovision' s People Choice.

I'm dying with this comment

you are that angel...

The Australiër song her song on the piano so much better than this Bonny Tyler clone.

Omg 😆😆😆

very Cerys Matthews Catatonia

tbh they did that to all the song, but i do still believe that it was one of the best and diserved its spot. If it was me I would have put: 1- Britain 2-Australia 3-Poland 4-Estonia 5-Sweden

@@danielbriddon true, it’s so nice to hear regardless

The only song that I loved at EV. Amazing voice and world class performance!

@@kkarx her voice is outstanding I have to admit, I did like some others, this song should be in the top 10 charts ❤

@@Daniel-mz9dn it deserved to be in the top three

almost a year and im not over it yet

Nooo, Ukraine won because of their quality song dude, so listen to them too😂 Such a great SONG COMPETITION

Same

@@mcsauce2654 Si, seguro que es por eso y no por victimismo de la guerra

@@carlosmc3045 yeah definitely🙄

Yeah, 400 televote points because is a good song.. Ok.

I liked Finland song a lot too.

Exactly!

Spain and uk too

Totally Agree.

For me it was only the ukrainian one, all the others are forgetable. The sweden one is just a basic love song in english.. The ukrainian one is super catchy "Stefania mamo mamo stefania.."

It sounds like a lullaby

You haven't heard some of their older entries ✌💀

haklisin burak

@@Yarshy. shh we don’t need to remember those 🤫😂

Cornelia in this performance is like a ,,Scania"" vehicle: very nice and strong:) Greetings from Lithuania! I like her song very much.

Rhyming possible with impossible 10/10

Hell yeah she did!!

Vi brukar ju sluta typ 5:a så det här var ju bättre än genomsnittet

😂song is a cover from lady gaga

Proud? In english? Sometimes I think that Sweden is only a cultural british colony.

​@@neocaballerocomunero1054 what do you mean

Yes, i've got plenty of songs that stayed in my memory from the ESC. This is NOT one of them. Sorry !

@@JMiguelmartins to everyone what they like. Thats why there are different tastes in the world. If you like another song thats perfektly ok in my book. Enjoy them!

Totally agree with you 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

@@JMiguelmartins Your list must suck. Considering that ESC tend to only have low quality songs, if you actually have plenty in your memory means you listen to some trash music.

@@JMiguelmartinsjerk

Yes, i just see the same ☺️💔

have barely listened and dont even know which ones were sent the last years, but im pretty sure one or two were better than this

Best entry? 🙄

The last 10 years you mean

Sia inspired 😉

for me, one of the best Sweden song is Europhia

Io ho iniziato solo pochi minuti fa ad ascoltare le canzoni, comunque lei è molto molto brava. Non so chi vincerà,ma ho ascoltato il collage delle canzoni e per quei pochi istanti di ogni canzone,ho trovato tutti molto bravi e delle anche cose di Musica diciamo Etnica, che mi hanno veramente colpito la mia attenzione,in quanto da giovane ho avuto la fortuna di essere ospite in tali Paesi e poter ascoltare la Musica Etnica o Popolare,canti tradizionali,lo stile tipico di tali Paesi,che mi è proprio entrata nel cuore e che ho apprezzato e continuo ad apprezzare ancora adesso e apprezzerò per sempre. Voglio ascoltare tutte le performance,ma credo che la Giuria quest'anno si troverà un po' in difficoltà a scegliere chi vincerà.

@@ginadavis5187 Yeah she's great

No she over sang it

No it's just a poor voice

Sweden and Poland - the BEST ❤️

And the hair!

The best of the songs that I could vote for (in Spain with a Spanish landline and UK mobile).

@@seandomhnallosullivan2544 heroes

Same here! The Voice, the performance, the rear axle, rod bearings, gasket, the WORKS!!!

Never😂

Completely

Finland lost stay mad

dont say that, every songs have their fabulous spot.

@@MsEna2011 It's just my opinion. I didn't mean that the 2023 song is bad, just not as good as 2022.

@@seandomhnallosullivan2544 This was the spiritual 3rd place this year the same way Spain was 2nd and the UK the winner. Ukraine doesn't really count.

While I put this song on my #2 following Portugal as my #1, if you truly want lyrics on another level, you've got to listen to Mark Knopfler, Colin Hay, Gregory Alan Isakov or Iron and Wine. Ever since hearing songs made by any of them, ESC songs are never good enough when comparing lyrics.

@@IAmHoTSHoTzz That's true. For a while. Our opinion will change. In the 70s, disco music was king. It was extremely popular. One decade later, it was over, people didn't care about disco music anymore. Some genres last longer, but still, what we like is specific to a moment in time. Does that mean that we don't have our own taste, that we are conditioned by our environment? Yes, it's exactly what it means. But we don't care. Our soul must be dead or something.

That's right. Right song at the wrong time. Definitely the best song and performance. But it was politically so important that Ukraine was the Winner! Besides that I gave three votes: Sweden, Lithuania and Armenia. And welcome to NATO Sweden!

Hi, Gabriel. What do You mean by :,,This song and performance was the right one at the wrong time." Congrats to Cornelia!

@@TheBarsuq What I said :) the quality of this song is so high, but the concept of Eurovision is not about that. It’s about a spontaneous reaction. And Congrats to Cornelia, not well known at all before this (I had never heard of her here in sweden), delivering this very personal piece and recieving this amount of love for it!

I totally agree. Best song.

Народные мотивы любой страны очень интересны, но очень очень на любителя. Швеция как то получше на порядок. И да. Я за музыкальный конкурс, ничего личного

Makes me happy to hear as a Swede, Italy was my favorites this year by the way

True

Agree

I would say it's closer to Sia

@@mondaygarbuz Yep, good point as well, but of course Ukraine had to win...

It’s more Kim Carnes than Bonnie Tyler

Mix Cindy lauper and bonnie tyler

Bonnie Tyler exactly! Full 80's spirit! I love it!!

Your mom has great taste!

the best song for sure ! my favorite in all ESC histoty

UK Spain Sweden The real top 3. Ukraine doesn't count.

I was sure too will be between Spain and Sweden, what a great 1st and 2nd could be...but that's it, this year was not like others and we all know why😐🙄

And one of the two really should have won ...

Who should win Eurovision was Portugal that had the best music.

Her song is pure plagiarism of the song Shallow by Lady Gaga .... Pure theft. I hope that Lady Gaga will sue her for stealing the copyright of the music.

@@SasaZikic Wrong. Song is closer to a Robyn song covered by Bonnie Tylers voice.

@@SasaZikic Sorry, but I don’t see it at all

@@Carolina-rd3gh Listen to the refrain of the song shallow by Lady Gaga and the refrain of the Swedish representative of the Eurovision Song Contest identically the same melody of singing

@@SasaZikic its just a similar chord progression 💀 nothing else

It was one of the best

It was the most complicated that’s for sure. It had the most substance, most Eurovision songs nowadays are just 90% chorus with party beats that don’t even fit the actual text

Together with Chanel best performance of the night

​@@leadmyteam1 Oh please, she was way better than Chanel. 🙄

@@mireahazel3951 dance and sign at tje same time without loosing the tone is outstanding, Chanel was great, Cornelia magnetic

Mi ganadora sin duda. Que suene, que suene mucho...porque es una canción para siempre.

I'm glad Ukraine won, but musically Sweden would have won. Love and strenght from Holland!

@@ikke2828 just like in our own "Melodifestivalen" the competition was amazing the whole way through.

@@ikke2828 Preferred Ukraine myself, very catchy, this was somewhat forgettable. Anyway love to all, from UK.

@@aldozilli1293 what 😂

u good over there? u ok?

What about Tusse 😂

@@goldenmonkeysarecute Tusse is also good but Cornelia and Loreen are even better

​@@goldenmonkeysarecute tusses song was BAD, as well as Anders B. Always amazes me how the Swedish folks vote. Thank god for the international jury last year. Saved Sweden from the Swedish Teddy Bear.

@@sveasoderstrom7831 Nothing wrong with the Swedish teddy bear :D But the song itself wasn't very good, right song won!

Kanka bu mu güzel cidden

Please Turkey come back

@@artiaslari5594 soon...

Look up Tove Styrke some similarities in stage use etc

Posłuchaj Krystiana Ochmana, to jest dopiero głos i jaka skromność.

Zgadzam się w 100%.Dla mnie ta piękna Szwedka też była najlepsza.Można bez zbytecznych tatuaży,golizny i z klasą!Piękna i utalentowana dziewczyna i widać,że ma w głowie wszystko w porządku

Her vocals are like depressing, an actual singer would bring more justice to this song

@@pantelisdalezios811 wym depressing? her vocals are amazing!

Y’all deserved to win so badly - Lithuania

@@ItsRickLopez They are pretty tiresome and unsurprising. People this days forget what an actually good voice sounds like

@@pantelisdalezios811 the song is meant to be depressing, did you listen to the lyrics

Me Too! 😀

I feel the same way. This song is incredible, eurovision or not

@@HushedHermit Her voice and performance are very similar to Tina Turner (USA) and to Adele (UK). I like her performance very much. Best wishes from Lithuania!

Maybe this song caught your attention because Cornelia is raised with rock/metal. Her dad is Jakob, singer in glam/metal band The Poodles.

@@sofiajohansson8537 how would he know that?

@@Feex92 I didn't say he knew

@@sofiajohansson8537 well her father might play in a metal band but the song dont realy sound metaly, just enjoyed it.

@Александр Александрович i have no clue what ur saying

me too!

Agreed was so amazing

She saved this for the finals😍

And the audience response on it as well! Goosebumps deluxe.

Yeah I know!!!!!! That part was just so out of this world!! It gave me chills and broke me😭... She just went better and better with her performances. I love her 💚

So fucking awesome !

This was also my favourite song and I'm playing it frequently. However, I just think her singing was not good enough at the start of the song. Mumbled and out of tune. Her soaring vocals at the end are much better.

Ukraine was just way to dominant in the tele vote. I also think Sweden and the UK ended up taking televotes from eachother. Sweden drew Serbia in the televote in the semi but Serbia beat Sweden in the finals. It makes sense, both songs where quite similar in that they where strong vocal perfomances without "gimmicks"

You sat on toilet while Chanel slayed?

@@bjornsixx4260 she looked like a cheap version of Camila Cabello

@@meligar97 Na, i dont think that Camilla is more talented

For me the uncrowned winner is Spain

In my opinion, your song from Poland was as good as the one from Sweden. You should both be very proud :-) ! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

Poland top 10, sweden got too many points IMO. Romania should have gotten a lot more along with Moldova. also -Give that wolf a banana before that wolf, eats my grandma

This year, Ukraine had to win. An important message to Putin. I'm from Sweden and I don't like the Ukraine song, but it doesn't matter this year. Ukraine in our hearts = Ukraina i våra hjärtan.

@@semipalatinsk1 jag vet...men är det inte en musik tävling?

@@amelieswedishgirl13 Nej. Inte i år. Låten var obegriplig, en rap, men budskapet till Ryssland är vad som räknas nu.

I was really surprised, and now I put in loop this part 2:55

Well said. This is a tune we will be playing forever ✌

By watching this video you can't see the reason why the crowd was so fired up during this song, the audience obviously liked the song and that was shown in the voting as well, but the song previous to this one completely changed the atmosphere and the audience in the arena became way more engaged and they stayed that way basically to the end of Eurosong.

She is already long forgotten!!!!

@@seandomhnallosullivan2544 The S countries😁😁 All were great, but Sweden and Serbia were my one and two, Ukraine third. Also just realised the other two in top5 were U countries - sus?🤔😄

Ger wosrie is 🧊

The UK came second to Ukraine, and I am okay with that, but if Sweden had beaten the UK I would have been okay with that too. She gave such a heartfelt performance

As a matter of fact, the song from Spain was as good. Musically and optically ;)

Yo voté a UK

Really? I find that song so bad. It's so dull. Can't believe it won. This and Tattoo are much better

Yep. The whole instrumentation here is perfect.

Someone being Cornelia herself and her current bf David

Agreed

Proponuję posłuchać bez uprzedzeń rewelacyjnego głosu i wykonania Krystiana Ochmana z Polski, choć fakt szwedka też przyciąga uwagę.

Halt die fress

...me too!

Same idea , great song. Should have won.

Listening to this song the whole day today, it gets better every time. The UK entry was nog convincing to me. It's strange that the UK doesn't do better in Eurovision.

@realgabriel gdc Her opinion is valid and so is yours, we all have different taste. But you’re most likely going to have people disagreeing with you since you’re here😊

@@ionbalan7425 It was a complety different voting sysyem back then. You can't compare them

@@nicoledickson6099 Lol, of course the different systems matter. They have *doubled* the number of points that can be awarded. If more points are available it's just dumb to compare them. When you do that you assume that they are competing fairly but they are not.
