The song won with the smallest margin of victory in Eurovision history, winning on the second stage of the tie-breaking procedure by virtue of receiving more ten point votes than the French entry, [[Le Dernier qui a parlé...]] by [[Amina Annabi|Amina]]; the two songs had tied on 146 points, and in the first tie-breaker stage both had received twelve points from four countries. This was the first and, to date, only time the tie-breaker has been required, since it was introduced after the four-way tie in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1969|1969]].

"Fångad av en stormvind"
Song

"Fångad av en stormvind" (English: "Captured by a Storm Wind") is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Carola Häggkvist. It was written and produced by Stephan Berg. The song is the best known as Sweden's winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 held in Rome, Italy, with 146 points.

"Fångad av en stormvind" peaked at number-three on the Swedish Singles Chart and number-six on the Norwegian Singles Chart, while its English-language version "Captured by a Lovestorm" charted in Austria, Belgium (Flanders) and The Netherlands.

Eurovision Song Contest

Carola earned the right to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 after convincingly winning the Melodifestivalen 1991. Her entry "Fångad av en stormvind" received 78 points, 32 points more than the runner-up song "Ett liv med dej" by Towe Jaarnek.[1]

At the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, which was held in Rome, Italy, Carola performed the eighth, following Luxembourg's Sarah Bray with "Un baiser volé", and preceding France's Amina with "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison". At the end of the voting procedure both Sweden and France had 146 points each. However, Sweden was given the victory as it had received more ten-point votes than France, as that was the procedure at the time.[2] That rule had been introduced in order to avoid the split victory, as it had happened at the Eurovision Song Contest 1968. The 1991 Contest was the first and the last time that procedure was used.

Carola gave Sweden its third victory in the Eurovision Song Contest, following ABBA with "Waterloo" in 1974 and Herreys with "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" in 1984. It was also the second time Carola represented Sweden in Eurovision; she took part in the 1983 Contest with the song "Främling", which finished the third. She once again represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Invincible" and placed the fifth.[2]

Other versions

In addition to the original Swedish-language version, Carola also recorded the English-language version of the song, "Captured by a Lovestorm", with the lyrics written by Richard Hampton.[3] The remix of both versions, called "Hurricane Remix", was done by Emil Hellman.[4]
