For me this was the best song this year on Eurovision.
Sweden has such a great talent pool of singers.
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
Cornelia actually co- wrote it herself with two other people. It comes from a real break up she had last summer and those were the exact words said at the break up. She is now in a relationship with David Zandin, who wrote the song with her. They became a couple recently:)
@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
Fun fact,she got brutaly rejected when she applied for the Swedish IDOL show. The jury said "your'r not as good as you think" among other things. And one of the jury members was competing in the same erouvision contest for Sweden,She obviusly won and he came in 2nd i belive. I love her voice and wish her all the best in her career.
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

I love this song so much!!! And she! She's such a cool girl with a beautiful voice!!! 🙌🙌😄😄😍😍😍😍😍😍
I have a feeling that no one apart from her can sing this song and have the intended effect. She had the perfect mix (and fluctuation of) in her tone of wryness and confidence, it's like witnessing someone musically go through the stages of grief... but in reverse. You can feel the acceptance in her voice at first, that's why the first chorus hit so hard and yet feels so /right/, because like you said it didn't feel as predictable based on the song's context clues, it wasn't the buildup before the call for battle crescendos, but the gentle thump of someone putting their mic down to walk away for their own good. Then slowly the song builds and the colors change from the green of acceptance to the white of bargaining/depression to the furious red of the anger and denial. her voice holds a lot of the song's style, at least for me, and manages to match the tone of the "stage" the song is at. The held together with paper tape and yet trudging on despite the cracks still unhealed of the beginning (with a matching crackly voice), to the end which has a furious intensity of red-hot feelings which are too sensitive to poke without bursting, her voice feels like it's bursting at the seams just like her emotions. amazing
Absolutely the winner.
We send the right song at the wrong time =0(
That smile of yours is what music is all about :)
I"m late to the party here... but this song. Your face shows how much you enjoy this song and I looooooooooooooooooooove it and i'm here for every minute of it!
"Found the right one at the wrong time"... some pretty cool and relateable lyrics
The man was too stunned to speak
Her stage presence is incredible.
She has to win, this is a gorgeous song❤
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.
On of my ESC evergreen ❤
She added an extra high note to the last chorus at the Grand Final last week. If you haven't already seen it I recommend you check it out. Combined with the cheering from the audience it makes for a really special moment in my opinion :D
What really matters is how a song makes a person feel. Firstly, the strings are amazing. As for the singing... absolutely superb. The song is beautiful.
Best voice in this eurovision :) 💛💙
Glad you got around to this! I've probably heard this about a hundred times by now, and love it for many reasons, but especially because of her raw vocal tone and the way it works with the lyrics. Anyone who has found the right one at the wrong time recognises the feeling. (For me it meant a couple of tough years and moving to another country, but it was worth it!)
I was expecting you to mention some instruments too, the way they are layered to build up intensity and carry through the calmer parts, but maybe that would take a couple more times of hearing this.
Now I have this dream of Cornelia singing a ballad with Måneskin. Her voice would be such an interesting match with Damiano's, they all have so much stage charisma, and if they threw some live strings in the mix too..
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)
A very proffessional evaluation! Like your style!
Btw when she was 16, she was kicked out of Swedish Idol, being ”talentless”. Always lived in the musical shadow of her famous rocking father and composing grandma. This Song is her own work. Wish her all luck and success❣️ Go Sweden!
And she beat Anders Bagge for the ESC spot, who was part of the Idol jury at the time. Always needs pointing out!
Ok, one more time. This song hits me right in my heart, right in my soft spot. One of the best entries in the last years. She makes me believe in what she's feeling and experience, just like I'm she and she is me. No need to explain, just suck in the feeling what her voice and the song brings to you. No need for more than that. It's great!
I still get chills watching nd listening to this song
Sweden delivers as always😃
I like your smile. It's cute😍
I am from Ukraine and really proud of our Kalush Orchestra💙💛. But this is a gorgeous song and very emotional performance. Super!
by far the best voice this year, she is really a great singer
Always happy to hear this song and at the same time it makes me sad, makes me cry. Guess that's the both feelings of it. The wrong time and will find the right time with some one else. Maybe. Just a beautiful song.that goes straight into my heart.
In my opinion, this was the best song from Eurovision ...
The song is great and it’s actually crazy how much hate it gets just because people really enjoy it.
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.
Well done Sweden. Nice pop ballad. Sweden you know that I love you
We loved this one - your reactions are great - how you are surprised by so much of it and clearly happy with what you hear!
Just soo goood!! Damn!! A new star is born. Greetings from Sweden!
Man I'm such a sucker for raspy voices
you should check it out when she does it in the finalze, she goes way harder on some parts and its amazing
Respect🤗
That sounded grate. Hats of from a fellow swed. I don't watch eurovision but i know a good tune when i hear it.
It really is a banger!
It’s an awesome song and her voice is amazing
I love this
Beautiful voice.
This gives me the goosebumps everytime!
Go go swedeen 😍😍😍😍💝💝💝❣️
Thanks for your great review. I just in love with this song 😂
I totally agree!
I really love the way you felt the song
Loved this reaction. Hugs from Sweden.
Hey there! So lovely to see how this song hit you and hear your take on it. I'm a Swede and have not loved one of our entries this much in a long while. ❤
Loved it from the first time I heard it and then it gets better
Love her !
This is still the most played Eurovision song in my playlist :)
Ahh, thank you for your comments. And I feel the same as you did through out the song.. Her voice just takes you..And you can't never let it go then.. Ty for a great review😀💖
Thanks from Sweden.
The harmony used in the strings are the heart of this songs emotion, and the melody of the chorus in my opinion. The backing is very emotional film score like.
Love this song 🎵 ❤. She was amazing in Eurovision songs contest
So good wow
Great analyse of an awesome Song
She actually won and the best song her voice is beautiful 🥹❤️
This is an absolutely brilliant song and should have done better. I just can't get it out of my head and have to keep playing it over and over again. Why anyone can dislike this is beyond me. From what I've seen Cornelia has such an infectious personality and the way she looks into the camera, draws you in as though you are the only person she's singing it to. Love your reaction at 02:38
I’m running through your old vids now that I’ve discovered your channel, and it seemed like this one got you emotionally a little bit. I heard this after my partner and I decided to end a 13 year relationship, so it hit me pretty hard. Simple and beautiful.
The Show she did on the officiall Wurovision was epic!
Really enjoy your analysis on the vocals and how writing a great pop song is not a skill to be taken for granted.
È vero é intensa e strepitosa!
I can feel some Lana del Rey influence on it. Great song!!
Sverige sweden 🇸🇪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love when you go "aww" lol
you are australien, and you are in the eurosongtest. a love your songs !!
love this song, hope she wins
I'm also Swedish and this song really grows on me more and more over time. I think she both sounds and looks like a young (but modern) Gianna Nanini! So the perfect song to send to Italy. 😊😍
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.
I absolutely didn't get the hype around this song originally, but then it came on in the car about a week after ESC 2022 and it just clicked. It still goes on all my playlists
Look at the Mellodifestivalen 2023 finale version of this song. Played by a live band, made it much better!
This song was my favourite of all this year and by quite large margin. There were few decent ones but I feel like this one was clearly the best, emotion, lyrics, performance, chorus, buildups... everything was perfect! For example, Great Britains song was quite average to my ears, I have no idea how it got so many votes... It was decent but nowhere near the emotion here.
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
🇸🇪❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yo vivo en Suecia y creo que muchos pensamos que los suecos son fríos e insensibles . . Pero esta cancion?!! . . Dios!! Cuánta sensibilidad!! Es hermosísima y trasmite tanta emocion que hace sentir ese gran dolor de una despedida 😭❤️
Im Swedish and I LOVE Cornelia jakobs and I really hope that she’ll have won
Whenever I hear this - Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” comes to my head. Anyone else? 🙄😬
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.
Hello, this nice Swedish singer reminds me so much of the British singer Bonnie Tyler. She has a similar look and voice texture.
Great voice , reminds me Bonnie Tyler
Great tune
I want to know your opinion on what would had been on Eurovision if the Swedish people would have chosen. "Bigger then the Universe" by Anders Bagge. Love the song personally.
❤❤👍👌
Winner 😍
Ukraine, United Kingdom, Sweden and Iceland are my favourites)🐈🇬🇧
12 pts for sweden
I love this entry, but I've been going crazy cause it reminds me of another song. It finally struck me, "Some die young"
Im from sweden
Absolutely awesome & should have won. Sounds like Lana Del Rey
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
The circle looks like a Monad. The whole stage in Turin is one giant Monad:
Monad (philosophy) - in the Pythagoreans, an indivisible unit inspired by the atomists, which constitutes the innermost essence of something. From the monad, the dyad is created, which in turn gives rise to numbers, numbers give rise to points, which gives rise to lines, which gives rise to two-dimensional figures, which gives rise to three-dimensional figures, which gives rise to bodies, which gives rise to the elements earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of the world is made up. The monad was thus the root of the cosmology of the Pythagoreans. (Source: Diogenes Laertius' book On the lives and thoughts of famous philosophers.)
Monad (Gnosticism) - within Gnosticism identical with Christianity's highest, spiritual, real God, who emanated so-called Eons, pairs of lower gods, of which the two most famous are Sophia and Jesus. The Gnostic Valentinus counts as many as 30 such eons (pairs).
Her voice reminds me alot of kim carnes....?...
She just neede a little more omph! in her singing and this would have been a truly great song! (I'm Swedish btw)
I live in Sweden!!
Can you react Australia "not the same"plss[][][]
Ukraine will win it's politics in this year's Eurovision
so sad. sweden should win
So many Roxette vibes from her
never seen Eurovision so political
Definitly a candidate for no. 1
Your voice reminds me of George Michael. 🙂
Sadly it will not be a song contest....it will be a political contest...no one will have a chance against Ukraine =0(
Sadly though Eurovision is not a song contest since ages ago. Mello is far more fun than Eurovision.
What about Azerbaijan with all those vocals?
I am sure this song will rank high because so many people love it. You do too and you also explained why.
Personally, I find the whole package very bland and unimaginative. She is a competent singer and whoever wrote the song knew what they were doing but it kind of bores me.
P.S. I'm looking forward to your reaction to Lithuania
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.
I'm not too convinced about her vocals. They are exposed at the beginning and she's far from pitch perfect but the chorus saves it.
Kira Elisabeth Dalan-Eriksen sings this song much better..
