Does Loreen have a wig or exstensions? On Idol 2004 she had curly hair :confused:

If you really want to know, watch Loreen interview (May 2011) for The Ana Gina Show at 4:50.

Loreen will be performing in Malta on 25th July in a show to take place at the Malta Fairs and Convention Centre, Ta’ Qali. Malta’s 2012 hopeful Kurt Calleja and his band are also expected to appear in the same show

I've seen Loreen!! xcheerxcheerxyaayxyaay

Last night we decided to go to Karlskoga and the Karlskogafest to see Loreen premiere her Swedish minitour "Prelude". I'm not very familiar with Karlskoga, so after a bit city cruising, parking and fast walking, I hear distant load music and Loreen singing possibly Sober. There are people everywhere, families with chattering children, old people strolling and everything in between. It's a city festival (no entry) and the actual concert area is in a narrow small valley with steep sides, a park in the city. The park is packed with people and in the end of the long, circa 30 meters wide grass lawn there is stage with pulsing lights. Loreen! xlove The park with local families sitting down on blankets having picnic and tents making fast foods, is apparently invaded by Loreen fans like me. We want to advance to Loreen trough the chatting crowd. Chaos and tension, Loreen singing My heart is refusing me. Her voice is clear but the music is a blur. Advancing, suddenly I'm hit in the stomach by a very strong pulsing base. There is nothing but base. We decide to advance on the steep sides instead. Loreen singing strong in a very beautiful ambient unfamiliar tune - She’s the one. Yess!! xyes We reach the stage trough the sides and while descending we can see Loreen on the side monitors. A large tent is in the way. Euphoria. The speakers seem to be under-dimensioned and the music is distorted. Loreen's voice is clean and clear though. She makes pauses to let the audience fill in Euphoooria! We raise our right hands in the air, pumping, lifting, waving. She's still only visible on the monitors. I need to advance further. Shamelessly I make my way and suddenly: There she is!! xheartxheart She says something "Då vare klart då" and disappears. We are a bit uncertain what happened and some starts to cheer "En gång till!" (One more time!). Slowly it dawns to us, it's over for now. We start to make our way back through all the blanket people again. We knew it already, this is only going to be a glimpse of Loreen. We are satisfied and happy.

edit:
The boo story from Aftonbladet is untrue.

Glimpses from Borås 2012-06-28 of Loreen's Prelude tour xlove

[video]http://professional.player.qbrick.com/player.aspx?mid=109284C3[/video]
Wish we could hear more of the new versions of My heart is refusing me and She’s the one. There are some LQ versions on YT tho.

The stage in Borås is built :p

Found an old pretty good video of Loreen with guitarist Stefan doing a soundcheck. Not so crowded as her performances today, a couple of months later. :)

Loreen - Sober (acoustic live with Stefan @ J, Nacka Strand Sept 30, 2011)
:D

Well, I think that her victory was absolutely clear for understanding. But ( to be honest) I was a little bit nervous during semi-final. :D

Haha :D I think there were a lot of people completely fascinated by her after the performance in the Växjö heat of Melodifestivalen 2012. They still are (me included :p). The main concern was if she could win Melodifestivalen 2012 final, the most significant event for most Swedes regarding Eurovision. A real thriller! After the win, "a lot of people" soon become - say almost all of Sweden including the outspoken support of the Swedish government. Pretty unique in a lot of ways! This massive support somehow led to a rather relaxed approach regarding the ESC heats in Baku. Loreen was the queen whatever the outcome. I also believe this unconditional love become and still is much more important for Loreen herself than the actual Eurovision win.

This is why Loreen is touring the Swedish smalltown festivals instead of Europe right now. :):)

Something just struck me. Wasn't this a year when we barely did any PR for our song? Loreen didn't travel around Europe to promote her song at all (or if she did, it was only in a few countries). Yet we won by a landslide, which means that the song and performance won due to its quality alone, not by drumming up interest beforehand.

In fact, I think this is the first song in pretty much forever winning without an extensive promotional tour?

Lena did no promotional tour either.
