Sweden's Biggest and Best TV Show Melodifestivalen ended on Saturday 12 Mar 2022 with the Grand Final after funneling down the 28 entries via four heats, two semi finals and the Grand Final. Swedish broadcaster SVT received way over 2000 songs for the 2022 edition of Melodifestivalen which on Saturday was won by Cornelia Jakobs with the song "Hold me closer" and will be representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Semi Final 2 at Song Number 17.

Cornelia Jakobs (Sweden 2022) winning Melodifestivalen

Melodifestivalen 2022 Interview with Anna Bergendahl: This week on Radio International hear the interviews with one more finalist of Melodifestivalen 2022. Anna Bergendahl. No stranger to the world of the Eurovision Song Contest Anna already won Melodifestivalen 2010 and represented Sweden in Oslo, Norway with the song "This is my life". Unfortunately, the song ended up at Number 11 in her Semi Final which is the only time that Sweden did not make it into the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Anna, now learning to become a medical doctor, has also regained appetite to try it again to win the ticket to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. She returned to Melodifestivalen in 2019 with "Ashes to Ashes" coming 10th, then in 2020 she came 3rd with "Kingdom Come" and this year in 2022 she ranked 12th in the Melodifestivalen Grand Final with the song "Higher Power".
