It Template:Esccnty in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 held in Rome, winning the contest, having previously won Template:Esccnty's Melodifestivalen.

Background

Conception

"Fångad av en stormvind" was written and produced by Stephan Berg and recorded by Carola.

In addition to the original Swedish-language version, she also recorded an English-language version of the song, "Captured by a Lovestorm", with the lyrics written by Richard Hampton.[1] The remix of both versions, called "Hurricane Remix", was done by Emil Hellman.[2]

Eurovision

On 31 March 1991, "Fångad av en stormvind" performed by Carola competed in the Template:Esccnty of the Melodifestivalen. It received 78 points - 32 points more than the runner-up song "Ett liv med dej" by Towe Jaarnek - winning the competition. As the festival was used by Sveriges Television (SVT) to select their song and performer for the Template:Escyr of the Eurovision Song Contest, the song became the Template:Esccnty, and Carola the performer, for Eurovision.[3]

On 4 May 1991, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at Cinecittà studios in Rome hosted by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), and broadcast live throughout the continent. In her introductory video postcard, Carola sang Fiordaliso's "Script error: No such module "Lang".". She performed "Fångad av en stormvind" eighth on the night, following Template:Esccnty's "Un baiser volé" by Sarah Bray, and preceding Template:Esccnty's "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison" by Amina. Anders Berglund conducted the event's orchestra in the performance of the Swedish entry.[4]

At the close of voting, the song had received 146 points, the same number of points as the French entry. Both songs had received also the same number of twelve-point sets. However, Sweden was given the victory as it had received more ten-point votes than France, as that was the tie breaker procedure at the time.[5] That rule had been introduced in order to avoid a split victory, as it had happened at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969. The 1991 contest was the first and the last time that procedure was used.

"Fångad av en stormvind" gave Sweden its third victory in the Eurovision Song Contest, following "Waterloo" by ABBA in Template:Escyr and "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" by Herreys in Template:Escyr. It was also the second time Carola represented Sweden, as she had taken part in the Template:Escyr with the song "Främling", which had finished third. She once again represented Template:Esccnty in Template:Escyr with the song "Invincible", placing fifth.[5]

Critical reception

Robbert Tilli from Music & Media wrote, "Very reminiscent of one-time winner Bucks Fizz, the song is a typical example of a happy and cheerful first-prize tune."[6]
