Sweden SWEDEN 2022 - Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer

[escYOUnited]

No need to apologize
'Cause there’s nothing to regret
Well, this is not what I wanted
Guess all the good things come to an end

So baby bye, bye
Wish you the best
But most of alI I wish that I could love you less
Well, maybe you're right
I'll find someone else
You say it isn't me, but when did that ever help?

Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
I'll be bleeding, but don't you mind, I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Hold tight, hold tight

Maybe it happened too fast
I guess that I understand
You say that you've never felt this way for anyone
And that's why it scares you to death

So baby bye, bye
Know it's for the best
Still I can't see how that would ease the pain in my chest

Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
I'll be bleeding, but don't you, mind I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight?
I know, I have to let go, but just give me the night

'Cause tomorrow will hurt
Hurt really bad
'Cause I’m about to lose the best I ever had

Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
I'll be bleeding, but don't you mind, I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight?
I know, I have to let go, but just give me the night (Hold me tight, hold me tight)

Can't you see that you found the right one at the wrong time?
It was just the wrong time
Hold tight, hold tight

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just what I wanted from Klara's song.
Bass boosted, go all out Cascada!
This version would be my #1 of the whole season:

My ranking from best to worst:

*****Klara Hammarström - Run To The Hills*****: 10/10 I don't remember any other Mello performance where the artist was so out of breath. I first listened to the live performance and was underwhelmed. Then I listened to the studio cut and BAM! Here it is, on top of my wishlist to win MF! Only one criticism, I feel that they were holding back a bit with the beat. I wish they boosted the bass.
***MEDINA - In I dimman***: 10/10 The catchiest thing I've heard in a while, wish Sweden had the guts to be daring for once and send this to ESC. Won't happen ofkors.

*Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer*: 9/10 Her voice reminds me of Carola, bless. The song sounds very modern but very schlager at the same time. The lyrics are very simple yet effective, a mood that everyone can relate to.
Liamoo - Bluffin': 9/10 Very Anton Ewald, but the 2022 version.

Faith Kakembo - Freedom - 5/10 Faith sis, you deserve much better than this. Please ditch your songwriter and come back stronger next year to win it all.

Anders Bagge - Bigger Than The Universe - 2/10 What is my poorest sugar daddy doing on MF? My bills are waiting to be paid
Robin Bengtsson - Innocent Love - 1/10 I'm not a fan of the direction his career is heading. Constellation Prize was his best effort and he has been going only downhill since then.
John Lundvik - Änglavakt - 1/10 It's in Swedish, I don't have any other positive comment to say.

That's a raving review considering our ''glory days'' are over

If she performs this version in the final then she is 100000000000000% winning

 

[simori95]

I don’t really get the problem with Anders Bagge tbh. Like yes it’s generic but for me personally it’s the good kind of generic. I even enjoy the Microsoft backdrop vibes. He‘s not my winner but I absolutely wouldn’t mind if he did.

Those are my picks as well and I'm on a losing streak currently so goodbye Anna, hello Alvaro...

 

[Stargazer]

Bless Arvingarna!

Hoping desperately for Danne Stråhed/Anna Bergendahl and Lisa Miskovsky/Lillasyster tonight!

But I fear Alvaro Estrella will qualify, knowing the Swedish voting public.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I don't have words for how much I hate these guys, I will never forget Sweden for making them popular

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I'm hoping for Lillasyster, Theoz, Cazzi Opeia, and Alvaro Estrella (sorry @Stargazer)

 

[theCONWEL]

As basic and clichéed as it is, I can't help but love Tone's song Hope she does well tonight!

 

[CPV4931]

Hoping for Alvaro, Anna & Lisa, Theoz tonight, but also wouldn´t mind Tone qualifying

 

[Stargazer]

The schlager is strong in Tone's song and I approve very much. While I'd prefer Danne and Anna going through, I wouldn't mind Tone taking one of those spots either.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

@Stargazer vs. me right now:

 

[Stargazer]

Suave is so basic it hurts. It's not terrible, but it's so generic and paint by the numbers.

 

[theCONWEL]

Hallaballoo is so fun, I can't help but like it

 

[Stargazer]

Hallabaloo is so wholesome and great.

 

[empo21]

Anna should've DTFd last week.

Also what's the last question in the postcard? Coz Cornelia is a common answer so far

 

[Stargazer]

Anna's voice sounds strained, sadly. But I still enjoy the song.
