@@Elnur__cafarov If the video has very little comments compared to it's views then that just means that many people has come back to listen to the song again.
@@Elnur__cafarov I have a TH-cam extension to bring back dislikes, and the simplified ratio of likes to dislikes is 290 : 27. That doesn't make it winner's material, but that makes it top 3, and if you come into account of all the other ratios, you'll see that Sweden is the 3rd highest of likes, but not everyone likes or dislikes videos so we need to wait and see.
As a dane, I actually think this is a quite generic pop song. It was still my favorite of this year though. Generic pop isn't necessarily a bad thing if it's done right.
How is that possible, that she didn't win last year?! One of the best songs of the Eurovision, one of the best vocal. She's amazing. I love this song. Last summer, when I was on a bike trip in Sweden, I heard this perfect song in swedish radio in supermarket🙂 You have to be proud of her and I hope you are! Greetings from Poland! Sweden - you are the best! Loreen was amazing too🙂
cause it literally was the right song in the wrong year. Ukraine won cause of sympathy. it was still a good song but this one is just so great theyre barely even comparable
Well done Cornelia! This song feels so raw and authentic. This is not about Sweden winning at Eurovison (I certainly hope it will), its about Sweden finally sending something genuine and „less polished“. Thank you mello juries
If this song was carried by Albania, for example, it would be one of the last. Not only because Sweden carries a song does it have to be automatically good. More objectivity please. I personally like this song but it is not a winning song.
I've never had Sweden as a favorite, I recognized their perfectionism but always thought they were way too generic and overrated, at least in the last decade. This woman and song is just pure emotion, charisma and authenticity, so raw. Honestly, she makes me feel so many things and literally stole my heart since I discovered her with her first performance a month ago. I don't concieve another winner. This is magic. Best of luck from a new and huge fan from Spain. Love you Cornelia, let's do this 💚
As a Swede it’s sort of frustrating to see that we for the last two decades had loads of really cool and good entires in Melodifestivalen, but they often end up in 2nd or 3rd place. And we send a very very very polished and perfectly executed pop song, with a great stage number, again. I mean I get it we vote sort of fairly. Whoever just objectively pulls off the most impressive performance in terms of vocals and stage number usually wins. But it makes for pretty uninteresting entries to compete with. Like Loreen is the embodiment of the type of artist we usually don’t send to Eurovision. Genuinely good, interesting and cool. The year before euphoria, she competed in Melodifestivalen with the song “my heart is refusing me”, she made it to the second chance but didnt even make it Melodifestivalens finale. And the song I would say is even better than euphoria, her voice as great as ever, but the stage number was nowhere near as polished and perfect. And even though “my heart is refusing me” became a international hit and charted in multiple countries. The less than perfect stage number meant she didn’t have a chance in Mello. A year later she comes back with a better stage number, and I guess meeting mellos lowest expectations on everything being perfect, meant that when we finally sent something interesting it was a clear winner.
This might be the best Eurovision song since Euphoria. Love every part of this song so much. The performance, the melody, the lyrics, everything is just so incredibly good!
@@Emrico35 I was not kidding you, because my comment was not directed at you, I was speaking in general, you are not the center of the universe. It's very possible that she will win, but since we are not clairvoyants or futurologists, we can only rely on assumptions. Relax a little. All the best.
My words exactly! I'm just happy people will see this performance. When I listened to this earlier I got goosebumps on my legs! I'm so glad I don't shave. My legs?
Bästa kommentaren jag har läst på länge. Av alla låtar som har skickats under de senaste åren så är jag glad att vi äntligen tog en RIKTIGT bra låt. Spelar ingen roll om vi vinner eller inte, bra gjort, välförtjänt.
The best song. She has a stage presence that captures you and doesn't let you look anywhere else. And what a voice! Holy cow. This has to win. please. PLEASE. Greetings from Italy.
@Minion Skywalker Sweden is better than all four of them imo… Norway is just silly, UK is basic, Spain is a good performance but the song is meh, Ukraine is what Ukraine has always been - folk music. Decent.
She's definitely a storyteller and this song speaks straight to the heart. Simple, truthful and relatable. And Cornelia's voice is everything! Greetings from Greece
Do you imagine this song winning? It would be one of the most beautiful Eurovision winning ballads of all time and the following generations would still love it, sing it, remember it. It has this eternal emotions that a evergreen song needs: raw, sincere, vulnerable. I think all of us can relate to some point with the song. I can see this song going in European collective memory. I really hope this songs wins.
Finally, we heard a song that is appropriate for Eurovision and which is a song. Not jumping, reciting, running wild. Greetings from Serbia. Beautiful song. You deserve to win.
Thank you international juries and Sweden overall for making this masterpiece winning. It is your best song since 2015, my winner of 2022, and I think that it is a contender to win this year. Congratulations, you would really deserve getting the seventh victory, love from Spain.
I wish people would stop using the word Masterpiece. It will not go down in history as one of the greatest songs ever made and be remembered when we are all gone.
Yes, I suppose that is the way her voice is, but it is so suited to the sentiment of the song - don't we all have something to let go with regret? She sounds on the verge of tears - as I am when I listen to it! Fantastic! Bon chance a la Suede!
Everyone is talking about her voice but I think the magic comes from the production. Listen to the drums, the violin and every instrument is lifting here voice to a higher level. This is a 12 points from everyone.

hey i love both songs so much. If i'd pick a winner it would be between sweden and ukraine. We also have a good song this year. Ronela is amazing in live stage
Honestly didn't think I would love this as much as I do. This song has grown on me more and more. The Netherlands was my my favourite until this, it is a classically beautiful song. The best ones (like this) have a melancholic vibe . Beauty infused with sadness, f*cking perfect Sweden!
One of the best songs Eurovision ever heard, and I'm not only speaking about this year because this year it's by far the best. Corenlia filled the stage without dancing and filled the minds without being naked.
She feels so authentic, raw and real. She's not relying heavily on the stage to the do the performance for her with a big screen, lights, background dancers, she's just her. Feels like she's not trying to be special yet she is. Can't wait to see her in ESC!
@@fabianschmidt8532 U mad that your favourite Anders Bagge didn't win? You will be happy when Cornelia gets a way better result then Anders could have gotten lol.
@@AnonymSwede This song was written by Cornelia herself, by her best friend and new boyfriend. She have been friends with her best friend for 17 years. The song was written last summer when she met her new boyfriend during the time she just had broken up with her ex and her feelings for her ex were still strong and fresh when the song got written.
This is not only going to win, but it's going to be HUGE worldwide. 12 points from Croatia This woman just unleashed one of the most powerful and relatable pop songs of the decade.
This is just the perfect Eurovision song. Calm in the beginning, a clear structured build-up through the middle part, a big exciting ending. Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The lyrics are relatable, thus moving and emotional. And her delivery is impeccable. Definitely my winner! Absolutely love it❤️Good luck from Luxembourg😊
I have been following the Eurovision song contest since my earliest childhood... My parents infected me with it... And... to this day... I have not missed a single one! In your country... my dear swedish friends... there are people who know... how to make a good song... That is why I'm with you... and cheering for you... This song is the best I've ever heard... Fantasy! Wonderful! I am with you... with heart and soul....Dear Sweeds... Even if you don't win... for me you are the winners of this Eurovision song contest! Forward Sweden! My homeland is not in the finals... but you will be... And I will support you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have to admit that I initially did not understand the hype, but watching the Melodifestivalen final last night, I went from not getting it to adoring the song in just under two hours. Cornelia is truly talented and this song feels so raw, Sweden is really sending its best this year!
Although the song is not my cup of tea, this performance gives me chills everytime. Her expressiveness and her raw, rock voice quality is everything. She communicates the song and you can feel the pain hidden in these lyrics. Captivating 💙
I just addicted this one!!! Her presentation give us something that brings us back to our gold days 💚 she deserves to win!!! Good luck Sweden 🇸🇪 from Algeria 🇩🇿 ❤️
This is clearly the musical winner. Great voice, decent text, and a great event. The song catches on after only hearing it once. This song stands for itself without masks and other patches. A completely honest performance. I, and probably others from Norway (and Sweden) cheer on you Cornelia. Good luck in the final! Dette er klart den musikalske vinneren. Flott stemme, grei tekst, og et flott arrangement. Låta fenger etter kun å ha hørt den en gang. Denne låta står for seg selv uten masker og annen staffasje. En helt ærlig fremførelse. Jeg, og sikkert andre fra Norge (og Sverige) heier på deg Cornelia. Lykke til i finalen!
No overreaction here! I really appreciate the quality of this song and this is the main thing! I Wish you good luck guys from the host country! Brava Svezia 🇮🇹❤️🇸🇪
this is such a cultural reset for sweden! after many years of sending some boys with a decent pop song they finally send a artist who is telling a story and having their own aesthetic. i wouldn’t mind sweden winning AT ALL this year🇸🇪
An own aestetic? Maybe it is because I am gay but she looks to me like many other singers. Short hair and a sparkiling dress. Same goes for the song. This is nothing special at all. It is a very average song. It is not bad by any means. But I feel like we are just having to much of the same this year. Lots and lots of slow ballads with deeping meanings.
it's been a while since i last was genuinely invested in an entry from Sweden, i'm so happy with this one! it genuinely made me feel tight in my chest while also being very catchy, i'm really looking forward to seeing it performed at the contest!
This gives me a memory of when I first watched “A Star Is Born” and Shallow was played in stadium, it’s so tender, euphoric, full of emotion and raw. First time Sweden has given me something so close to heart, not over produced and raw and that will defo score a result. Amazing, thank you Sweden for being authentic. Love from Lithuania.
I'm from Sweden and when hearing the song for the first thing I told my mom was, it reminded me by Shallow but I had no idea why. I'm happy I am not the only one haha. I guess it is something about the melody and the emotions. I love this song and I love Shallow.
Great post, I totally agree with your point of view. Good luck too, to Monika representing Lithuania. A very classy, melodic song that sticks in your mind. We have such beautiful ballads this year.
This song has become my favorite. The attitude and the rawness of her voice is a great combo. But most of all, the lyrics are soooooo good and heartbreaking. Can't wait to see her owning the stage in Torino. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 (I know we don't participate but Europe remember that you have fans over the other side hehe)
I have almost no words for this piece of music. Its great, moves me to tears and touches me. Hear voice makes it perfect, the synthie production let it so perfectly flow. Thanky for this. My winner!
If you ever found the right one but at the wrong time, this song will hit you hard! And i think we are many who have done that. So beautiful lyrics! Goosebumps every time I listen to this! Go Cornelia in Turin! Haven't had this winner vibe since we sent Loreen and Euphoria!
I thank there is no such thing as finding the right one but at the wrong time, there is only falling for a wrong person out of immaturity and not having learnt your lessons. A mature person should know their worth and leave this kind of situationship at the first or second major red flag. This woman is too old for singing about such problems.
Sweden have had loads of genuinely cool and interesting artists and songs the last 2 decades. That often feel more genuine and have a cool point of view. We just don’t send them. They tend to come in 2nd or 3rd place. And we send a very very polished well written and perfectly sung (but sort of boring) pop song instead. Usually the stage number is a lot better for the pop song. Loreen was like the perfect embodiment of the type of cool artist that normally would end up 2nd place in Melodifestivalen, but she got the same level of really polished staging the winning pop songs usually have so she actually mange to win Mello (and Eurovision). And the one time we sent our typical 2nd place type artist in 2007(?) with “worrying kind” with the ark. You guys hated it. But atleast it was something I thought was genuinely cool of us to send to Eurovision.
I see a lot of salty comments on social medias, but in general it's a good sign. They see you as big competition this year so they are afraid, we cant compare this entry to 2017-2018-2019-2021, this one has something special. Not basic, nor overrated. Simply amazing. 9.75/10. My current winner and i don't think it will change knowing she probably keeps the same staging (very aesthetic)
Sweden officially has my heart this year. Tack sa mycket to the Swedish people for donating to Ukraine (I have connections) and sending this to Eurovision.
Hi Joseph I am a globetrotter and have travelled trough your wonderful Ukraina, I cry everytime I see news from your country. All my love goes to you, hope you win the Eurovision this year.
@@jonsweden7848 Hi Jon when I say connections I don't necessarily mean I'm Ukrainian. My mom and dad were born in Baku but my aunt in law is Ukrainian so when I said I had connections I was talking about her because she still has relatives there. By the way Sweden really deserves the victory this year more than anyone
Not often do songs give me goosebumps during the first chorus, and then some more as they go along! It's just such a beautiful song, great voice and Cornelia is such a talent! ❤❤
She's definitely a storyteller and this song speaks straight to the heart. Simple, truthful and relatable. And Cornelia's voice is everything! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Sometimes a person's voice is all what is needed to make a song to be successful - that's the case here. She could sit the whole performance and nobody would mind.
My winner this year! She has an amazing voice and her stage presence is hypnothising. But most of all you can feel all the raw emotions in her voice. Congratulations Cornelia, see you in the final.
This song had my attention from the first line. Absolutely love this and is officially my favourite song this year hands down. Well done Sweden! You’ve got a massive fan in the Uk 🇸🇪 🇬🇧
Дуже сильно, потужно, щиро! Без пафосу, зайвої атрибутики чи декорацій - природно і круто! Найвища оцінка за виконання і авторство пісні. Приємно вражений виступом Cornelia Jakobs. Швеція вкотре довела свою надсильну позицію у світі музики. Успіху у фіналі!
@@denizaran Big misunderstanding! Actually I think the same, I even adore Italy's song and hope it wins (again). Well, I've tried a joke, because many posters here seem to believe the next ESC is somewhere in Sweden, because Sweden wins. I responded yes, of course, because neither Ukraine nor Italy (probably the real coming winners) can afford another event, but Sweden is such a rich country, they can (although they don't win anymore). ,
As a swede I am proud of the choise that we made! This song isn't just about the pain of loosing, it's also a reminder that pain is hard to bare. This is truly the best song we have sent to the eurovision, it's raw, unspoiled and there's not a lot of props or pyro etc... It's just Cornelia, the stage and the lights. This is what it's all about. Wish you all the best of luck and no matter if you win or loose, you are always a winner for us! 🙏🥇🎇

Honestly didn't think I would love this as much as I do. This song has grown on me more and more. The Netherlands was my my favourite until this, it is a classically beautiful song. The best ones (like this) have a melancholic vibe . Beauty infused with sadness, f*cking perfect Sweden!
I think Sweden found the right one at the right time here!
One of the best songs Eurovision ever heard, and I'm not only speaking about this year because this year it's by far the best. Corenlia filled the stage without dancing and filled the minds without being naked.
That last part was completely unnecessary.
@@jen-vo7di Considering Spain's performance, uhh no it definitely was necessary
@@jamiengo2343
You are so right..
She feels so authentic, raw and real. She's not relying heavily on the stage to the do the performance for her with a big screen, lights, background dancers, she's just her. Feels like she's not trying to be special yet she is. Can't wait to see her in ESC!
She was boring. I already forgot the song.

@@MrJazzCat38 Yeah Bagge's song would not make it far to be honest. He's a great singer, but the song had some horrible lyrics.
In my opinion most of Swedens Eurovision songs are really good. But this one just hits diffrent to me. Idk how but it does. 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Yes Sweden is Top 💛💙💛💙🇸🇪
That's probably because the same two Swedish guys write most of the songs in Eurovision, and obviously they keep the best one for Sweden.
@@JMPERager This song was written by her and her best friend when they were 17 😯
@@AnonymSwede This song was written by Cornelia herself, by her best friend and new boyfriend. She have been friends with her best friend for 17 years. The song was written last summer when she met her new boyfriend during the time she just had broken up with her ex and her feelings for her ex were still strong and fresh when the song got written.
@@askafroan525 You sure? The Swedish commentators said it was written when they were 17 😂 But thats all I know tbh

idk tbh, it’s a weird year without any obvious winners
Winner this year is hard to predict.
With that said this song certainly should give Sweden another good placement atleast

Sweden sounds real and honest for the first time in what feels like forever. Lets go Cornelia!!!!!!!
This is just the perfect Eurovision song. Calm in the beginning, a clear structured build-up through the middle part, a big exciting ending. Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The lyrics are relatable, thus moving and emotional. And her delivery is impeccable.
Definitely my winner! Absolutely love it❤️Good luck from Luxembourg😊
I have been following the Eurovision song contest since my earliest childhood... My parents infected me with it... And... to this day... I have not missed a single one! In your country... my dear swedish friends... there are people who know... how to make a good song... That is why I'm with you... and cheering for you... This song is the best I've ever heard... Fantasy! Wonderful! I am with you... with heart and soul....Dear Sweeds... Even if you don't win... for me you are the winners of this Eurovision song contest! Forward Sweden! My homeland is not in the finals... but you will be... And I will support you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@tarahillchannel2684 Oh, yess! It's true! ❤
I have to admit that I initially did not understand the hype, but watching the Melodifestivalen final last night, I went from not getting it to adoring the song in just under two hours. Cornelia is truly talented and this song feels so raw, Sweden is really sending its best this year!
It was the exact same way for me too!
Sweden really about to win for the third time in 10 years. LEGENDS.

Wtf
Although the song is not my cup of tea, this performance gives me chills everytime. Her expressiveness and her raw, rock voice quality is everything. She communicates the song and you can feel the pain hidden in these lyrics. Captivating 💙
Finding the right one at the wrong time is such a good lyric. Def been there.
Yes happend to me :(
Finding wrong one at your right time is worse, you just waste yourself for someone who didn’t deserve

Hi weld bladi !
This is my favorite song too.
This is clearly the musical winner. Great voice, decent text, and a great event. The song catches on after only hearing it once. This song stands for itself without masks and other patches. A completely honest performance. I, and probably others from Norway (and Sweden) cheer on you Cornelia. Good luck in the final!
Dette er klart den musikalske vinneren. Flott stemme, grei tekst, og et flott arrangement. Låta fenger etter kun å ha hørt den en gang. Denne låta står for seg selv uten masker og annen staffasje.

Good luck! So much love from Spain ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

No overreaction here! I really appreciate the quality of this song and this is the main thing! I Wish you good luck guys from the host country! Brava Svezia 🇮🇹❤️🇸🇪
🦉🦉🦉 sweden is gonna win, Brividi is a masterpiece
Thank you
Thank you m8, good luck you too
Holy crap this song gets better every time I listen to it. I would be very comfortable with this winning.
this is such a cultural reset for sweden! after many years of sending some boys with a decent pop song they finally send a artist who is telling a story and having their own aesthetic. i wouldn’t mind sweden winning AT ALL this year🇸🇪
Heroes by Måns was also a very good song in my opinion
Interesting to hear someone call a plagiarized song a 'cultural reset'
An own aestetic? Maybe it is because I am gay but she looks to me like many other singers. Short hair and a sparkiling dress. Same goes for the song. This is nothing special at all. It is a very average song.
It is not bad by any means. But I feel like we are just having to much of the same this year. Lots and lots of slow ballads with deeping meanings.
But its boring too
@Rick Janssen what song is it plagiarising?
What a great voice and beautiful song!! I’m Italian, I hope she’ll win this competition. She deserves the victory 😍

it's been a while since i last was genuinely invested in an entry from Sweden, i'm so happy with this one! it genuinely made me feel tight in my chest while also being very catchy, i'm really looking forward to seeing it performed at the contest!
same and i’m swedish😂👀🤭
I want this to win so bad . that raspy voice , that sound like it's not even difficult for her , fan bloody tastic
This gives me a memory of when I first watched “A Star Is Born” and Shallow was played in stadium, it’s so tender, euphoric, full of emotion and raw. First time Sweden has given me something so close to heart, not over produced and raw and that will defo score a result. Amazing, thank you Sweden for being authentic. Love from Lithuania.
Got the same ‘a star is born’-vibe from this!
I'm from Sweden and when hearing the song for the first thing I told my mom was, it reminded me by Shallow but I had no idea why. I'm happy I am not the only one haha. I guess it is something about the melody and the emotions. I love this song and I love Shallow.
Great post, I totally agree with your point of view. Good luck too, to Monika representing Lithuania. A very classy, melodic song that sticks in your mind. We have such beautiful ballads this year.
It's becasue the chorus is very similar to Shallow...
Good luck from Greece to Sweden !! One of the strongest entries of this year 🇬🇷🇸🇪
Thanks. I also like your entry. I’m 24%Greek actually
This song has become my favorite. The attitude and the rawness of her voice is a great combo. But most of all, the lyrics are soooooo good and heartbreaking. Can't wait to see her owning the stage in Torino. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 (I know we don't participate but Europe remember that you have fans over the other side hehe)

I have almost no words for this piece of music. Its great, moves me to tears and touches me. Hear voice makes it perfect, the synthie production let it so perfectly flow. Thanky for this. My winner!
If you ever found the right one but at the wrong time, this song will hit you hard! And i think we are many who have done that. So beautiful lyrics! Goosebumps every time I listen to this! Go Cornelia in Turin! Haven't had this winner vibe since we sent Loreen and Euphoria!
So true
I thank there is no such thing as finding the right one but at the wrong time, there is only falling for a wrong person out of immaturity and not having learnt your lessons. A mature person should know their worth and leave this kind of situationship at the first or second major red flag. This woman is too old for singing about such problems.
Send me crying immediately when I first heard it, thank God I was alone! It was not a pretty sight 😅
Hope you win! Masterpiece! From Italy 🇮🇹

The feeling and depth arrive finally to Sweden!!! Cornelia Jakobs and Hold Me Closer my WINNER FOR TURIN!!! I'm very surprised from Spain 👏🏻🙌🏻🇪🇸
Sweden have had loads of genuinely cool and interesting artists and songs the last 2 decades.
That often feel more genuine and have a cool point of view.
We just don’t send them.
They tend to come in 2nd or 3rd place.
And we send a very very polished well written and perfectly sung (but sort of boring) pop song instead.
Usually the stage number is a lot better for the pop song.
Loreen was like the perfect embodiment of the type of cool artist that normally would end up 2nd place in Melodifestivalen, but she got the same level of really polished staging the winning pop songs usually have so she actually mange to win Mello (and Eurovision).
And the one time we sent our typical 2nd place type artist in 2007(?) with “worrying kind” with the ark. You guys hated it.
But atleast it was something I thought was genuinely cool of us to send to Eurovision.
I see a lot of salty comments on social medias, but in general it's a good sign. They see you as big competition this year so they are afraid, we cant compare this entry to 2017-2018-2019-2021, this one has something special. Not basic, nor overrated. Simply amazing. 9.75/10. My current winner and i don't think it will change knowing she probably keeps the same staging (very aesthetic)
They don't want Sweden to win "again". Imagine being that childish and such a poor sport lmfao
I’ve listened all ESC songs this year and this is unmatchable. My number 1 :))
I am from Hungary, and I just love this song! Masterpeace
Sweden officially has my heart this year. Tack sa mycket to the Swedish people for donating to Ukraine (I have connections) and sending this to Eurovision.

Hi Joseph I am a globetrotter and have travelled trough your wonderful Ukraina, I cry everytime I see news from your country. All my love goes to you, hope you win the Eurovision this year.
@@jonsweden7848 Hi Jon when I say connections I don't necessarily mean I'm Ukrainian. My mom and dad were born in Baku but my aunt in law is Ukrainian so when I said I had connections I was talking about her because she still has relatives there.

Not often do songs give me goosebumps during the first chorus, and then some more as they go along! It's just such a beautiful song, great voice and Cornelia is such a talent! ❤❤
same like literally goosebumps the first time
She's definitely a storyteller and this song speaks straight to the heart. Simple, truthful and relatable. And Cornelia's voice is everything!

Well said Dimitri
My Winner This Year: ) Sweden Winner 2022 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Sometimes a person's voice is all what is needed to make a song to be successful - that's the case here. She could sit the whole performance and nobody would mind.
Ikr. 😫 I'm mesmerized by the voice alone, along with her charisma.
So maybe am I the only one not impressed at all... 🤷♀️ can’t help it.
I think her voice is worse than Tusse and Anna Bergendahl.
As Cobain always did. Just sit and sing.
Still prefer the original. There is only one Bonnie Tyler. Just a good clone of her, nothing more unfortunatelly ;(
My winner this year! She has an amazing voice and her stage presence is hypnothising. But most of all you can feel all the raw emotions in her voice.
Congratulations Cornelia, see you in the final.

Sure. Ukraine or Italy are too poor to host another ESC ... 🤪😎
@@denizaran Big misunderstanding! Actually I think the same, I even adore Italy's song and hope it wins (again). Well, I've tried a joke, because many posters here seem to believe the next ESC is somewhere in Sweden, because Sweden wins. I responded yes, of course, because neither Ukraine nor Italy (probably the real coming winners) can afford another event, but Sweden is such a rich country, they can (although they don't win anymore).

This is truly the best song we have sent to the eurovision, it's raw, unspoiled and there's not a lot of props or pyro etc... It's just Cornelia, the stage and the lights. This is what it's all about. Wish you all the best of luck and no matter if you win or loose, you are always a winner for us! 🙏🥇🎇
