Or actually not. She told she has been taking beta blockers, often used by sportsmen to improve their performance when you need good nerves and steady hand. It is forbidden in some sports like shooting. However she tells she didn't take it for the final. "I watched the video of the rehearsals that I had been taking it and something was missing, the connection. I decided not to take it and it went much better!" She told also that her mother was her best support in the end. Loreen, who is a little hermit by nature and prefers to do yoga in silence rather than go to parties went through a very tough two weeks when in Baku. She had to deal with the pressure of being almost the only favorite to win, the critic by the other contestants and organizers, problems with her voice and the tight rehearsal schedule, not to mention the balancing between being a private person with political views and opinions on human rights in Azerbaijan and the artist who could not say a word in that matter. But all is well that ends well... And yes, that's Loreen in the picture in 2004 :-)
