Great favorite of Eurovision 2023, Laureen, the candidate of Sweden, has already won the singing competition several years ago…
Can we participate (and win) several times the Eurovision? If the question may seem surprising and the practice somewhat unfair, you should know that the rules of the European singing competition actually authorize the countries participating in the competition to send the same representative several different years. This has happened several times since the creation of the competition in 1956: Johnny Logan, an Australian singer who represented Ireland, for example participated and won twice, in 1980 and 1987.
Will Sweden equal this improbable record? Big favorite of this Eurovision 2023, Loreen, the singer representing the Scandinavian country, seems to be on track. With his song called Tattooit’s been weeks since it climbed to the top of the rankings predicted by bookmakers and it remains there, with nearly a 50% chance of winning, according to these bettors (who are often right).
“I wanted to repeat this experience and find people who have faith in us,” the singer told the Huffington Post, explaining that she wanted to “be linked to all these positive energies” again at Eurovision, eleven years later. his first participation.
And singer Loreen, Sweden’s flag bearer at Eurovision 2023 and now 39, is far from unknown to fans of the competition since, as we said, she has already participated in and won the 2012 edition of the European singing competition. She then performed the song Euphoria on stage in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. Sweden, which won its fifth Eurovision victory that year (it has had six since then), was ahead of Russia, second and Serbia, on the third step of the podium.
