Charlotte Perrelli (Nilsson) was born on October 7, 1974 in Hovmantorp, Sweden. At thirteen Charlotte joined a local band Bengt Ingvars. After finishing her compulsory school education, Charlotte moved to the town of Vaxjo where she attended the High School of Performing Arts. She also became the lead singer of the band Kendix. In 1994 Charlotte started singing with the well-established dansband Anders Engbergs. After two albums, Charlotte left the band and joined the highly successful dansband Wizex in 1997. In 1998 the band was nominated for a Swedish "Grammis" (Grammy) for the album "Mot nya m�l" and the album "Tusen och en natt" sold gold. Charlotte was ready to go solo.

After being selected as the Swedish contestant for the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest Charlotte went to Jerusalem in late May to compete with her song "Take Me To Your Heaven". She won and her solo career really took to the skies. The following months were hectic for Charlotte, she toured Europe and started working on her first solo album; the self titled "Charlotte". Later that year Charlotte was voted Sweden's sexiest woman by the magazine Cafe. 2001-2003: In 2001 she released her second album, which included the top 20 hit single "You Got Me Going Crazy". Charlotte hosted the first semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2003 together with Mark Levengood and Lena Philipsson. In April of 2003 she did Jesus Christ Superstar. In September she released the new single "Broken Heart", which was followed up by the album "Gone Too Long" in June 2004. She also joined Robert Wells, Jill Johnson and others on the Rhapsody In Rock-tour in mid 2004.

After the success in Melodifestivalen 2003, Charlotte was once again offered to host Melodifestivalen 2004. Charlotte, Peter Settman and Ola Lindstrom hosted the entire tour together. After the festival, TV4 offered her an own show on the channel. The show was called "Super Troupers" which was a talent-show for kids. One of the contestants was Amy Diamond, who is now a successful singer.

In May 2007 Charlotte was the Swedish expert in the Nordic preview show panel discussion about the Eurovision Song Contest. The contestants and their songs and chances to win were commented on. She was also a part of the panel in 2005.

Charlotte is married to Stockholm-based Italian restaurateur Nicola Ingrosso, brother of Emilio Ingrosso who was married to another Swedish singer Pernilla Wahlgren in the 1990s. Following a feud with the rest of the family, Charlotte and Nicola decided to change both of their last names to Perrelli. They reside in Stockholm with their two sons. (Wikipedia)

Everything has a beginning
Everything comes to and end
Take it or leave it
You'd better believe it
Be my lover, be my friend
Try to deny what you're feeling
And you know that you're heart will say no
Love will last longer
Growing stronger and stronger
If you stay and don't let go

Oh, out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking the fight
Is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story
Of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Heaven and earth keep colliding
But we love on a world of its own
Oh, there you can't fake it
Just make it or break it
Only you can find the one

Oh, out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking the fight
Is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story
Of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Oh, survive
Heroes can live on their own
But heroes never die alone

Out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking the fight
Is the life of a hero
Staying alive
(This is a story)
(Of love and compassion)
Heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light
Like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Promotion Belarus day 2

Today I�ve had a promo day in Minsk in Belarus. Everything started when the alarm clock rang at 06:00 am. Wiiieee!! I only had three hours this night, because I sang at a nightclub here in town ... so I was actually pretty tired. The first thing on the schedule was a Good morning Show. In had my Russian translator at my right side during the interview and he also speaks Swedish. It�s rather complicated to do interviews because people don't speak English here. So I also had a translator from English to Russia.
In the entrance to the TV station there is a Museum with the first TV camera and the first TV with a very small screen. I had a quick guiding and it was actually very interesting.
After that we did some radio interview on main radio stations. It were a good time and of course a lot of questions about Eurovision Song Contest.
Press conference at noon ... so we missed the lunch. A lot of press from the daily newspaper, Eurovision sites and radio as well.
A TV team followed me during the day and when we got some minutes left over we did short shoots.
We had a late lunch around 5 pm and the we continued with another TV show.

Belarius & Latvia
10 000 meter over water! We're have been in Latvia, Riga and done some promotion.
I've done some daily newspapers and tv.
While I was waiting for the connection flight I took a massage in a massage chair, it was assume I'm figuring out if I can by one, It would be greate to have at home! WIIEE!
Now we're on the plane going to Belarus, Minsk, we're flying with a small plane and it's a bumpy ride.
When we arrive to Minsk there're some radio intervjues waiting for me. Later on I'll do some daily newspapers and on the evening I perform at a nightclub!

Promotion in Finland
Yesterday I was in Finland and did some promotion for my Eurovision song, HERO. I'll hope you like it as much as I do!?
Offcourse I forgot my hair-curler at home so the day started with some shopping at Stockman's.
The rest of the day I did some intervjues for radio, newpapers, magazines, webb-tv... It all ended up on the ferry from Finland to Sweden, Stockholm.
