It’s time to take up the idea that I had months ago with doing “Throwback Thursday”, where I’ll be posting every week on Thursdays, with something as Cornelia’s previous performances, moments and so on as video. I’m doing this because it will be quiet with other updates now when Cornelia has a well deserved break.
A few weeks ago, Cornelia was one of the soloists of Svensktoppen‘s 60 years concerts at Berwaldhallen in Stockholm. She performed some old goodies from the Svensktoppen history alongside the other soloists. “Till dom ensamma” (“To the lonely ones”), “Hold Me Closer”, “Själens skrubbsår” (“The scourge of the soul”), “Händerna mot himlen” (“Hands to the sky”) and “Håll mitt hjärta” (“Hold my heart”). Svensktoppen is the biggest swedish song top list that updates every week. “Hold Me Closer” is one of the songs that has stayed the longest on the list. Well done Cornelia and the team!
I’ll start doing a new concept called “Throwback Thursday” each Thursday. I’ll share old Cornelia videos to appreciate the gold grains on the internet. Let’s begin with Cornelia’s concert at Trästockfestivalen last year. Although it’s 40 minutes long, you won’t regret watching it!
Cornelia and the Eurovision competitor from the UK, Sam Ryder, posted two TikTok videos earlier this afternoon (May 10) of themselves singing “Hold Me Closer” and “Spaceman”. Sam is one my favorites to win after Cornelia, so to get a duet with them is a dream come true. I got goosebumps! I wasn’t disappointed at all.
Cornelia performed her song “Hold Me Closer” at the PrePartyES 2022 that took place in Madrid on April 16. This was the last Eurovision pre-party with audience before the big event in Turin on May 12. Cornelia still has two more stops on the pre-parties tour which only are online events with no audience.
