Carola - Fångad Av En Stormvind | Sweden 🇸🇪 | Winner of Eurovision 1991

Carola won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1991 with 'Fångad Av En Stormvind' when hosted by Rome, Italy.

At the end of the voting, there was nothing to separate Sweden and France - both on 146 points - and so the tie-break rule that was introduced in 1989 had to be used! Both songs had the same amount of 12 points so the number of 10 points awarded was tallied, and as Sweden received more sets of these, Carola was declared the winner.

Carola had already participated in 1983 with the song 'Främling' which finished third, and in 2006 she participated once again and finished in 5th place with 'Invincible'.

Thank you to Italian broadcaster Rai for providing this performance.

If only i had this much energy every morning when i wake up 😂

[JamieJooESC]

The fact that she carried on where her mic was cut in the arena only just shows how much of a professional she was. Legend in more ways than one. One of my favourites too

[Bracia]

Carola is always my number one!

This is where my love affair with Eurovision started. Visiting friends down the street as my parents wouldn't watch the competition. I remember this song coming on and I was smitten, fan ever since!

Jag glömmer aldrig den kvällen den 4:e maj 1991. 😊Carola var helt fantastiskt och hade den kvällens bästa framträdande. Mycket värdig vinnare.
🇸🇪👍💙👑💛👍🇸🇪

Carola is amazing. She is for me also the most beautiful female vocalist in the world.
