Winning last year with Europhoria, Loreen is part of the Eurovision 2013 opening sequence.
And as the reigning “Queen” Loreen performed a second number before the close of Eurovision previwing her new song and her 2011 melodiefestivalen entry.
This week we watched ‘Hotel Rawanda’ instead of Melodifestival this week. But we were able to catch the voting to see who made it to the final and second chance rounds. We forgot Army of Lovers was competing. My Swede said they were good, before.
Hmmmm. Well Army of Lovers is a Swedish dance music group which formed in 1987, and has had a number of hits in Europe throughout the 1990s with songs such as “Crucified”, which was number one on the Eurochart for eight consecutive weeks. Not this time Army.

Henemark was born in Stockholm, to a Nigerian father and a Swedish mother.
She started her modeling career in her teens and later had her own modeling agency. Henemark started her career in music in 1985 by joining Alexander Bard in his Barbie project as Katanga. That project morphed into the group Army of Lovers, and soon La Camilla (as she is best known) became the face of the group. After two albums (and at least one public fight) with the group, she left and began a solo career. She released several singles that failed to achieve commercial success, and recorded at least one album that was never released (called Temper). Henemark then rejoined Army of Lovers in 2000 for their Le Grand Docu-Soap reunion album and has worked with them on all their most recent recordings.
Besides music, Henemark has had an active career in TV and movies, and is an active supporter of the Swedish Social Democratic Party. She is currently single but was married to film director Anders Skog, and had a long-term relationship with pop star and music video director Stakka Bo (Johan Renck). She likes ice hockey and association football, and is well known for her liberal views on sex, gay rights, and life.
On November 3, 2010, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published excerpts from a book about the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, Den motvillige monarken (“The Reluctant Monarch”), claiming that he had a year-long love affair with Henemark in the late 1990s.[1]
Henemark is since 2011 a member of the pop group Happy Hoes.

So siked I was to cheer Mary on in Melodifestivalen, the Swedish Song Contest in the lead up to Eurovision. Here’s her performance in round 1:
She didn’t receive enough votes to go directly to the final or the second chance round. The name of the song translates into cuddle and is used by kids (so I’ve been told). But I can’t imagine Mary doesn’t appreciate the experience, and it looks likeshe had a fun week leading up to the competition.
And life for the talented office goes on. Most recently she was spotted at a Mercedes Benz Stockholm Fashion Week party.
