Sweden Eurovision 2022 Reactionalysis (reaction) - Cornelia Jakobs, Hold Me Closer - Music Teacher 

@Freja Swanberg Yes I am Swedis. Though its not hard to find info about the song, since she is very open about it:) Men heja Sverige, nu vinner vi:🇸🇪

This song is so powerful, full od emotions. It is great from the first note to the last one.

That kind of broke my heart 😭

Visste själv it ens d haha❤️❤️❤️❤️

copywrite issue here shallow by lady gagag

undra ifal Bagge har magont idag. fast det var ju 2008 han sa det, så hon har haft tid att bli bättre :)

14 år av extra träning/sång har en tendens att göra en bättre tror jag haha

??????????? det var 2008???

Yeah

@@ZekeMagnum Jo

when children has the right to play whatever instrument for free then the pool of talaneted artist explodes and when some are succeful its gets into the avalance stage which it has

In another year when she didn't have to contend against Ukraine and, for some reason that even us in the UK can not understand other than Sam Ryder just being a genuine star of a human being, the UK, she probably would have done it. I liked this song so much that I've bought a copy.

@@Ragachagel She would definitely be top 3 which is a great placement no matter what. Spain, Sweden and The UK were all phenomenal this year, I'd be fine with any of them winning. I do like Ukraine but I don't think it should have won. It's definitely top 10 material though.

And she beat Anders Bagge for the ESC spot, who was part of the Idol jury at the time. Always needs pointing out!

Thanks. I’ve heard it so many times too now and have so much to say about it! I found this to be more of a reaction than an analysis which I recognised as soon as I stopped filming 😆

@@TheMuserResolute I actually had tears in my eyes at your reaction 😊 I really love this song, and just kept thinking “Aww…he really likes it too!” It gave me such much needed good feels 🙃

@@TheMuserResolute I can absolutely relate, first time I heard this and I thought "Yeah this should win." (Of course I knew Ukraine was going to win, but at least this should have been second)

We are kind of use to it by now... It's not the first year we get nasty comments and hate and it will probably continue year by year... What's good though is that she will deliever no matter what and that's what is important🤗🙌🙌🙌🙌🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

@@melina7202 Ikr. The most ironic is this: For the past 15-20 years the usual nasty comments are we send the same kind of music and safe choices. We sent something completely different and took risks, it didn't go well (Malena Ernman and Anna Bergendahl). We sent pop songs and ballads. Complaints were it wasn't like Carola and the older Swedish Eurovision song style. Had we sent that complaints had instead been the songs are outdated.... We sent modern pop and dance influenced songs, it did well and gave Sweden two wins the past decade. Complaints were it's nothing original, it's too polished, too manufactured, too perfect with no soul. This year we sent a song that broke away from that. It's not polished and it makes you feel something, we've all been there and experienced heartbreak. But I've seen how the lyrics in the chorus have made people think about departure and farewell with someone else than a partner. A relative or a close friend who died. The negative comments what's bad with the song and what should've been different about it would make it into something too polished, too manufactured, too perfect with no soul. The exact same things that were complained about for the past 5-6 years... The most dumb thing I've seen was someone who said her raspy voice is fake and manufactured. She has a natural rasp in her voice. The second dumbest thing was someone who said the emotions in the song are fake. She co-wrote the song when she was going through a bad break up.

@@lightwalker7123 I now exactly what has been said during the years. And of course some years we have had songs that has not lived up to it and then we should not get the highest score either. But it is a fact that Sweden usually gets much negativity and often. Much more than other countrys ( and sweden is not the only country who sends pop or as they call it generic pop songs or songs in the same genre) and to often you get to hear " if another country will send a song like that they wouldn't qualify and so on) or that we have payed the juries or some other nonsens) I think Europe overall is tired of Sweden participating in the competition. Beacause we mostly get good results or that we have won to much. I don't think that is fair. It is a music competition.... But I agree Cornelia is different, she stands out and she should get cred for that beacause of the quality of the song and she will probably get a very good result this year.

@@lightwalker7123 the complaints after Charlotte Nilsson won in 1999 was that we used the Waterloo concept again and that kept being the haters favourite hang-up for years to follow. It doesn't matter what we send - the haters will still hate, and you know what - bottom line it's envy.

It gets hate from a good section of Eurovision fans because it's from Sweden, not because of the song.

It really is a banger!

I think everyone can agree that Sweden know how to this Eurovision malarky, so even if you are not the winners, you are top of the table pretty much every time. Some other countries don't seem to have the formula right. For example, after finding out what the lyrics for Serbia's song are about I now believe that she must have written that whilst really drunk.

Agreed, also I feel like you can listen to this over and over and not get bored

@Jari Repo I found Very boring and bland

Look at the Mellodifestivalen 2023 finale version of this song. Played by a live band, made it much better!

When I try to whistle the song I always end up in "Shallow".

@@mikaelcykelstall2373 when I whistle the Harry Potter theme I always transition to Darth vaders theme and vice versa.

so sad. sweden should win

Heya! Thank you for this and for watching my Eurovision videos. Unfortunately I didn’t get around to Lithuania this year, but listened off camera and really love Monica’s voice and the song stylistically.
