This is what Sweden needed - an authentic performance with a raw vocal that can captivate the story. We can really feel your pain in this song. Wishing you the best at Eurovision from America 🇺🇸

You are the winner in my heart Cornelia. I don't care that Ukraine won. You were the best tonight. Well done!! ❤️❤️

Oh, this song is better than Eurovision, it is relatable in so many levels, it is outside of this world… this is one and the only one who wins Turin 2022, it is not even a choice, the contest closed, done, the winner is right here.❤️

I do not care if she wins or not. The fact that I listen to this song day and night is more than enough for me.

FLAWLESS vocals. What a beautiful song... Wishing you the best because I know I already found the best

If this wins Melodifestivalen, it’ll be one of the best songs in the ESC history!!⭐️

Every time I hear this song I get chills all over my body, I am so obsessed with this song, lots of love from Mexico 🇲🇽

She has such a beautiful, emotional, crystal clean and clear voice. She sings exactly the same live and in studio. Brilliant.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before! Melfest 2022 winner right here!!!

If this does not go to Turin, Sverige will have missed a BIG opportunity.

Who else found THE ONE at the wrong time in the wrong place? I FELT THAT. huhu it's a masterpiece! All the feels gaves me goosebumps

This song reflects my thoughts. Such a wonderful voice and a wonderful song.

Så jäkla bra! Ser fram emot Eurovision i Sverige 2023!

I am CONVINCED this will be the 7th Swedish victory ✌🏼 Love from Spain and see you on Saturday, it will be my first live Melodifestivalen ❤️

Her interpretation is unbelievable realistic like living a song really she deserves best score

I'm not Swedish, but after hearing her at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and she opened her mouth and started singing, I immediately fell in love with the song, and then, well, it stayed in my heart ...

Best swedish song since Euphoria! Love from Portugal

Wake up Sweden on Saturday if you want to win the Eurovision in Turino 👍🏆🇮🇹🏆🇮🇹 You must send this Masterpiece of a Song. Good Luck Corneila on Saturday👍❤🥂❤🥂🇨🇭🇨🇭

JUST WOW. no words can express how much I like her singing.

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 all, 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 Might 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 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? (Hold tight, hold tight) I know, I have to let go But just give me the night (hold tight, hold 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

Du synger sååååå sjukt bra!!!!! Jeg håper skikkelig mye at du får representere Sverige i år. Klemmer fra Norge!!!

I’m sorry but this has to win. I’m obsessed with her voice and this song in general! Sweden my 12 points goes to you! ❤️❤️❤️🇲🇩 with love from Moldova!

Such an incredible talent; thrilled to see you getting more recognition. Will definitely be on the lookout for new material in the future and hope to see you in concert one day soon!

Незабутня пісня. Я радий, що завдяки євробаченню чую це. Цей вокал надзвичайний

Wow. Incredible. No need for any additional production really. Just that fantastic voice and some mellow keyboard. That's all we need.

This is beautiful. Of course this can win Eurovision. This is even beyond Eurovision level. That's a song I can see myself listening to in 10 years! Brilliant! ❤️🙏😭

This is going to win Eurovision. Cornelia has an energy that gives me chills even after the 100th listen of the song. Nothing will be able to top this song and her performance, her energy, her voice... It was amazing to see her win Mello, live from the Friends Arena.❤️

This year my country is not participating in Eurovision for obvious reasons. I want you to win. You're beautiful, just like your song. Good luck! I will venture to write - from Russia with love 🇷🇺

Amazing! 💖✨❄️ We've found the right one at the right time!

Our 7th Eurovision winner, here we come IRELAND for 1st place in the leaderboard. Thank you Cornelia for this masterpiece

This song is a masterpiece...flawless vocals. ..such a beautiful song....Hold Me Closer is in a class of its own...as a music critic this is outstanding and will get 12 points from ever country in Europe ..nothing less will be good enough for this winner of Eurovision 2022 in Turin for Sweden....

Oförskämt behaglig röst. Nog den bästa kombinationen av klang och rasp jag någonsin hört. Don't change a thing.

Her voice is incredible!!!

For me the best song of the ESC 2022. Great voice that conveys the feelings credible! Perhaps it also plays a role that I myself, as a man, once experienced: "I found the right one at the wrong time". Love from Germany!

Can anyone not in Sweden get VPN for Saturday so we can all support and vote for her? THIS NEEDS TO GO TO EUROVISION 🖤🖤🖤

Still the best song from eurovision 2022. And in 5 yrs still the only song to be remembered out of all

By far one of the best songs I've ever heard at Eurovision. Still loving it.

THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE, WITH ABBA. THIS SHOULD WIN THE ENTIRE COMPETITION. AND THE WINNER, OF THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2022 IS.........................................CORNELIA JAKOBS, WITH HOLD ME CLOSER 🤗

What a Voice and emotion. The only song in Melodifestivalen this year which may cover a weak quality of other songs.

This is exactly the style I was looking for in Eurovision. You are my favourite. Lots of love from Turkey!🎉

Im in love with your voice, so unique! Greetings from PL

Eurovision winner 2022 hands down. Love from South Africa. 😎❤️
