Sweden’s Loreen won European Song Contest

UPDATED POST: Watch the music video of Loreen and listen to the TOP song playing in Europe right now. Sweden’s Loreen just won the European Song Contest with the song Euphoria, and this song is climbing up in the music charts on iTunes and Spotify in Europe like crazy. Loreen was humble, and thanked Sweden for believing in her in a live TV interview afterwards. I have a feeling we will hear much more about Loreen in the future, she has so much star quality. Loreen also made headlines for taking time off during the Eurovision Song Contest to discuss about possible human rights violations in Azerbaijan, this year’s host country of the song contest.

  1. So bummed out I missed Eurovision – it’s not screened here in Korea! Loreen’s song is a tune, and props on her for bringing up the debate about human rights in this year’s host nation, Azerbaijan.

      You can watch many of the songs on YouTube – but of course it’s not the same as watching it live. We just moved to Sweden this spring and were excited to watch it live on TV. I hadn’t lived in Europe for 10 years :)

      You can actually watch it all in it’s entirety on the official Eurovision site.
