- My short cover of the Swedish entry for Eurovision 2022, 'Hold Me Closer' by the INCREDIBLE Cornelia Jakobs.
I was obssesed with this song from the first listen and have fallen so deeply in love with every listen. I recorded this cover pretty much the same day that I heard it.

I don't understand why you haven't had the breakthrough you need worldwide. You've been on so many competitions. I don't get it. So talented.
Awwwn 😭😭😭, it’s something I’ve been asking myself, but I believe in time. Keep being you Sheldon, never give up and never stop fighting. Sml ❤️
🙄🙄 Cuz you’re clearly blind!
He’s extreme niche
We are not worthy
Voice agt etc never have famous singer most seem to make it without all these shows
The famous life is reality the devil gets you there quicker to fame but with God it is a longer journey 🙏
omg a duet with cornelia and sheldon would be divine
Omg yes!
Put Sam ryder in as well and we'll all die
Check the duet between Cornelia and Sam Ryder. It's absolutely amazing 👏
Why is Sheldon not a superstar? The emotion comes through in every word.
For sure!
Are you in Australia look out for The Masked Singer show, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait.
Ok. Here, we have ESC 2022's best song sung by ESC 2022's best voice.
Boom! Nailed it!
FAXXXX
OMG...this has just killed me. Your talent is outstanding.
Goosebumps all oder me
best voice in eurovision this year. you make every song more beautiful💙.
A tie with Cornelia but for different reasons... His is purely crystalline and controlled. Hers is raw and on the edge of the cliff and I love 'em both!
Sheldon as an ASD mother with a husband and children on the spectrum, THANK YOU. Not the Same, my son said it “felt really, really good to watch” when we found your Eurovision song and interview. I also got very overwhelmed and wanted to explode with joy because your son, Not the Same, says it all. I identified so strongly with your experiences. You’re beautiful masked or unmasked, it’s your superpower and your gift, this song, and how you distilled the ASD experience into a concentrated powerhouse of inclusion, incredible. Regardless of if you win or not, you’re one of the BIGGEST ASD voices visible and inspirational. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING the correct terminology is ASD, and that Aspergers is simply Autism. We all express it uniquely. You are a star Sheldon, keep shining so brightly! You’re visible from space you shine so brightly! Go Sheldon Go!
It’s kind of cool that the he is doing his own version of a song that is competing against him in Eurovision 2022.❤️
The most underrated talented person I've ever seen in my life 😢 He deserves better ♥️
Sheldon, you mean more than the world to me and if I could want you to hear anything from me it would be that I needed/need you more than anything. You completely changed my life and I can’t even begin to explain it. But I saw this one interview today of you where the guy was like “you know so many people look up to you” and “you’ve changed so many peoples lives” and whatnot and when you responded you sounded like you didn’t seem so sure (of course I don’t know exactly and I’m so so sorry if I offend you) and even if you did believe what he said I still want to say this, you have changed everything in me, wether that is what I want my goals to be or if it’s in what I wear or how I view the world. And with the whole thing in the interview I want you to know that you are so loved by your fans. I can imagine it’s hard to sometimes but when I first came across you I just…I don’t know. It’s hard to explain but there is something about you that no one else has, and you have done so many things that I could have never even thought of. I don’t come from much of an outgoing community so when I saw you I was like “who is this beautiful person” and “I need him to be my best friend” and “he is so perfect”. And of course it’s been almost 2 years since I came across you but I still get a magical feeling of hope when I hear what you sing or say. And it feels like home when I hear you. Like that warm fuzzy feeling yk. And I would like to thank you for everything if I ever come close to a conversation with you. I wish the best of the best for Eurovision and safe travels! You always have been my winner tho 💅✨
Me too❤️
The best words someone could find for him…♥️🫶🏼
No need for a paragraph buddy :D
Amazing cover! You should sing it together with Cornelia.
Absolutely love this. We need this on Spotify!
We absolutely need!
Better than the original. I'm almost crying

I’d kill for a full version of this. You are so fucking talented
Totally blew me away!!! Can't stop listening to it ❤️🙏🔥🔝🎶 Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
There’s a long time that I don’t see someone singing a song with such emotion and love. Thank you Sheldon for this amazing interpretation. And please, put it on Spotify, we need it! 🙏🏻
I can peacefully die right now 🥺💖

OMG!!!!!! Greetings from Spain!! I never knew of you before Eurovision, I was mesmerized by your performance had to find you here. I could not breathe nor move while you were singing. You have a new fan forever!!! I watched all your videos and your story and let me tell you something, I dont know if you are doing all those competitions because you are looking for aproval or a confirmation of how talented you are. Well you dont need those! your are perfect just the way you are , you deserve to be just as you are and as you wish and no amount of external comments can change that. You were one of the best at Eurovision but of course they can vote you to win cuz is a europe contest and you guys are on the other side of the world :) Can´t wait to hear what you coming up with next!!!! Much love!!!!
your voice captivates me every time, you need a bigger chance to spread your art, because this isn't just music its your character and personality I just want more of you in my life.
You are ausome Sheldon riley. Congratulations on making it to urovision and for as far as you got hope to hear more of your music 🎶
I believe that Sheldon might have the most incredible voice in the world. Everything that he sings he nails every single note. I'll bet that if he were to sing all the names and numbers in a telephone book it would sound amazing. ;-) ;-) ;-)
your voice is beautiful, I love the way you dress keep it up
Powerful voice. Loved the cover ❤️
you can say what you want this composition is genious. its a winner song. the only winner song of 2022! great performance mr. australia ;-)
If you sang this song in Turin, you would win for sure.
Well I believe his song “not the same” will win although he sings every song beautifully
Yeah but Cornelia is going to sing this in Turin?
@@ebbabbyby1 yea
@@morganrose1958 *Not the same* is amazing !! He will be in the TOP 5 ! ❤️
It's awesome! 😍
I can't find words to describe it❤❤
You were my 1st place on Eurovision, greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇦🇺
Actually only now I'm really hearing the song.. Stripped back, it's a smash from Sweden and from you
There's literally no human words for your talent and what you deliver each time, you're perfect to me. An emotional explosion that reaches the stars.
I'm grateful to have discovered you, as far as Eurovision goes, to me you were the best of them all!
Much love x 💖
You bring tears to my eyes every time I listen to you. Blows me away. Yay team Sheldon
❤❤❤❤❤
Crying here, just live this.. 💜💜

Sheldon you are simply incredible and the way you perform this song is pure magic. Not long now for the world to see you at Eurovision in Turin. You are so special and a beautiful human being. I am a very proud Aussie and love that you are representing this great country of ours. You will be Epic !!
I love his voice.. 💖🎇🎼🎤🎙️🎶
Omg I love this version ❤❤❤❤
You are a legend , bless you , your soul is full of torrent of emotions so sentimental so dreamy immensely eatheral , bless you 😊
As usual, I'm moved to tears. Incredible, thank you!
I cannot express how insanely beautiful this is ❤️
I really want more songs from him. If you read this, please know that you're awesome and very creative. You've impressed me so much with your songs in The Voice, both the singing and visuals are always daring and emotional. Doing things your own way can really make you stand out and I'm waiting for when more people notice you
What a gorgeous cover, a completely different take on it. You're a gorgeous human being ❤️
Wow Sheldon, amazing job! 🇦🇺 Im Australian and am learning Swedish, so I love that you covered their song 🇸🇪
OMG... breathtaking voice.
Sheldon you are a SUPER STAR!
😍
The most beautiful thing I heard in last months🥺✨
Thank you, Sheldon🙏🤍
Sheldon is a phenomenal talent. I wish when he sang his own song live he’d do the bridge like it is in the recording- the melody is incredibly catchy in the recording but it gets lost live. I feel like people would appreciate the song so much more if he maintained the melody, because it’s so simple that it gets lost behind too many vocal tricks
your voice is just flawless, every song sung by you , is just MAGICAL ..... thankyou ....
Sheldon, where are you? 2 songs in 1 year?.
You need to give us more. 🇦🇺
I looove this and im just obsessed with youuu!! Periodt!🥰
I can't stop watching this video... what a unique voice! I love you Sheldon Riley!
The voice of Cornelia is much more individual and interesting. So her version is the best 😍👍🏼
Sheldon. Hello. I wish I could give you a big hug. Sheldon. You are wonderful and so blessed with the gift of your singing voice.
Sheldon . When people hate on you...trust and believe my darling that it is because they are jealous...green with envy. Guard your heart.
Sheldon. You are wonderful. Chin up...always. Show shy...but NEVER let that bullies see you cry.
Congratulations.
Hold Me Closer and Not The Same were my two favourite Eurovision songs this year, to see that this exists makes me beyond happy
paying respect to such a hit in a perfect manner! Bravo!
Ugh I love his voice so much 🫠🫠 very time I melt.
YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Go Sheldon!!!! 👏GRATS!!!!!!!!!
Insane Sheldon! Man I’m so proud to see you living out your dream. Will never forget hearing you say in an interview all those years ago that you’d love to be on Eurovision. I remember thinking how perfect you’d be for it and you’re doing so much more than perfect at representing us Aussies 💚💛
This needs to be recorded on Spotify so I can download it.
Tienes que cantar tu canción con esta fuerza sin miedo sin dudas si llegaste hasta ahí es porque lo mereces no ser lo mismo es lo que nos hace únicos bravo
Tears in my Eyes, i love that 😢💋👍
I love your Songs ...you give so many people a voice and love ...please keep on ...

I can’t stop to listen and watch this video! Please Sheldon, put it in Spotify 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I NEEDED THIS, THANK YOU SHELDON!!!
To be honest I prefer this cover to the original song by far.
Couldn't be more perfect combination.
Cornelia’s is perfect! Sheldon’s version is amazing!
Sheldon, I love your voice. You are like a bird, singing freely and beautifully.
Unbelievably beautiful 💖💖💖
Sería el ganador de este año💖💖💖
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Annnnnnnnd I'm sobbing... Your voice and this song? WOW! FYI, I'd love an entire album just of covers of this song from Eurovision artists... Now that's a timeless pop song when everyone can put their own spin on it...
Hey your voice is very very soulful. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm new to the Sheldon Riley fan club but I definitely want and need more. Absolutely stunning.❤
The best man vocal
