On Saturday, twelve entries compete in Friends arena to represent Sweden in the Eurovision song contest.
One of those competing in the final of the Melodifestivalen 2022 is Cornelia Jakobs who, together with Anders Bagge, is tipped to win.
- It's so sick.
I try not to read anything before the competition to just focus on what to do.
But I get really happy, but it's a little scary at the same time, says Cornelia Jakobs.
But it is not just the betting sites and middle experts who predict a victory for Jacob.
The former hit king Christer Björkman, who during his years as active in production was not allowed to have a favorite, told P4 Sjuhärad that he thinks the contribution is fantastic.
- No are you kidding!
Fyfan how happy I am, says Cornelia Jakobs.
Appears barefoot
Cornelia Jakobs is one of three contributions that appear barefoot.
Together with John Lundvik and Faith Kakembo, she takes the stage schoolless.
The artist believes that it makes her sing better.
- I sing better when I'm barefoot.
You have a lot of balance in your toes so I get more stability, says Jakobs
