Aftonbladet.se: ‘Loreen about children: “We should adopt more”‘ (13/05/2012)

Now it is not that we in any way ask for such a picture.
But apropos of recent unfolding debate, Loreen says that she is forever tired of butts and breasts backlit:
– What do I want to say that I’m standing up and pushing the breasts in a picture? Do I have any expression or is it from any porn movies?
– I prefer muscle and propagate for it than pushing up the breasts, says the Eurovision jump.

One year ago. Then it was Eric Saade who would defend the Swedish schlager-honor in Europe.
If I’m not wrong, he was right stingy, didn’t want to be photographed there and not so, things said that competitors were fucking nobody’s and:
– We will be the first pop act ever in the competition, and we will make it so damn good.
Loreen a week before the Eurovision Song Contest, is almost provocatively calm.
– I’m not interested in the competition, she says. But that’s because I don’t have time and that I can’t influence it anyway.
– It will be as it gets.

 

Right selective

She’s not so stressed over the media race as well.
– Oh, it has not been so bad and there are still different people you meet, new personal chemistry every time, says the 28-year-old singer, looking for the Expressen photographer.
– You’re the earth sign?
– What?
– What is your zodiac sign?
– Oh, libra.
– You are libra!?
She returns:
– I’ve been quite selective with what I do, the day has 24 hours and it’s about resting for Baku too. If you want good results then you have to prioritize. If I only feed on, I can guarantee that I will never stay in Baku.
It sounds like Carolina Klüft faces a championship.
– Yes, but the mood is a muscle. I came across it many years ago, if I don’t sleep and exercise, the voice gets worse, and then the panic comes. If I haven’t good condition, I’m driven.

 

Means a lot to me

– If I miss a breath in the song, it will be too bad, then I’ll be in the minus account all the way. That’s what happened to Danny for the first time in the Melodifestival, he forgot to breathe and ended up at the minus account.
It sounds awful seriously. It is still entertainment this, right?
– Yes, but it’s not for the competition, it means a lot to me, the whole thing is very spiritual. It’s a lot of messages I want to convey, says Loreen, about “Euphoria”.
– It’s a love song, and it’s fun to sing about… even though I never experienced euphoria.
I read or heard somewhere that you have never been in love. And then I thought of Daniel Lindström from “Idol”, you were still together for quite some time. And it could not be fun to hear for him.
– Yes, we lived together for almost three years. So in love, I’ve been, I was in love with Daniel.
– But euphoria is something else, it’s a state of affection, and it’s nothing for me. I’ve been involved in too much crap in my life to dive into the trick. It’s like asking for more problems.

 

Bad self-esteem

Exactly what Loreen, or Lorine Zineb Noka Talhaoui, as it says in the passport, has agreed if she doesn’t want to go on, just states that childhood was not quite simple.
The parents moved to Sweden from Morocco before she was born. She grew up in Västerås with her single mother and seven little siblings.
– I have had a very bad self-esteem. I know what it means to be a divorce child, not to have both parents and a dad who left early. Speaking of identity crisis…
– But you adapt to your everyday life, it’s like war-hit kids who get used to bombs. Children don’t question, but when I look back I can feel “shit, maybe not exemplary”.
Your mother was 16 when she got you, and having seven little siblings, did you help a lot?
– Yes, I probably had to grow up early, says Loreen but adds quickly:
– My family is really important to me. They’ve followed me through everything and know how I’ve been fighting, it wasn’t that I slipped onto a counting scale in this. Then they accept me as I am, and I’m not the easiest man in the world.
In what way are you pain?
– I question and people who question are hard.
– It should be in my form simply, whether it’s in a relationship or in music context.

 

Tasted horribly

– I want control, but when I get up, I’m not so balanced. I have a damn temper, I’m a volcano, haha.
Control need, is that why you don’t drink alcohol?
– If I had been introduced earlier in my life, I’d probably run on, but I thought it tasted horribly. There is no reason for me to drink. I have been drinking a few times but I want to know and be present, when you drink everything gets wasted.
She turns to the photographer again.
– So you are libra!
Loreen puts a chocolate croissant on the plate, and given all the information about fascist health programs with spirulina smoothies, it’s not surprising.
– I have a completely ill burning, explains the singer. I have to take gainers even to hold the weight.
Gainers? Sounds like anabolic steroids.
– But a little bit so. There are dietary supplements, proteins and carbohydrates, like thousands of Big Macs at once. Otherwise I will be too thin.
The cynic would probably think that it was handy in this industry, the world.
– It’s such damn forces in this industry, and I know that young people are affected, people need to have some fairer principles, rolemodels.
But honestly, would not it have been nice to just stand on stage, do your thing, without thinking that you have to be a good model all the time?
– Not for me. If a woman doesn’t want to be a model, “fine, go for it”, but I think it’s important, says Loreen, and continues:
– What do I want to say that I am standing and pushing the breasts on the picture? Where does it come from? Have you reviewed your bags for yourself and decided what you want to express? Do they have any expressions, or are they from any porn movies?
– Posing today is so much “Hi, I want sex”.
– The women’s body is beautiful, but so much BODY BODY BODY that you almost need to cover your body to get a message.
– I was so happy when Jennifer Lopez was trendy big ass, it’s still a counter pole. And that’s why I exercise so much, I prefer muscle and propagate for it than pushing up the breasts.

 

Not used to

I ask where she will go after Azerbaijan and Loreen tells of the plate that will come in September, the collaboration with Andreas Kleerup and the mini-tour.
The important thing she says is to continue making music that lies close to her.
She won’t be mad when I say I liked her song last year, “My heart is refusing me”, even more than “Euphoria”.
– It’s based on my story. A strong song, which might be too strong, we are not used to getting that information straight away. Being in relationship that doesn’t work and the struggle to leave whoever loves.
It sounds like you’ve broken your heart?
– Who doesn’t have that? It’s a part of life. You don’t end up loving anyone just because it doesn’t work, says Loreen, and states that Baku times are bad times for relationships.
– If you want a relationship to work then you have to embellish and now is not a good time at all, but you can hope for it later. “Please God,” she says and laughs.
You have said you don’t want children, how can you know it so sure when you’re 28?
– You know it. People are talking about a biological clock, but it had probably begun to tick now. I love children and have had my little siblings around me, but children are not “man-made”.

 

Makes it easier

– Adopt, on the other hand, I could do. We should adopt more, and don’t make it so damn hard. Make it easier, and cheaper.
Like Carola.
– What, she adopted?
This is where you understand that Loreen doesn’t really read what is written, that she doesn’t cook when she says she doesn’t have TV at home and that she’s not knidding me when I wonder how it will be to meet Engelbert Humperdinck in Eurovision.
– Who the hell is that?
Loreen has its own universe and focuses on what matters to her.
– You are what, which date?
– October 16th.
– Are you kidding?!
– I was born on October 16th!
– This is a sign!
