Career
Strøm"s appearances were as follows: 1971: "Hør litt på meg" - 10th 1972: "Håp" - 4th 1974: "Hvor er du" - 1st 1975: "1+1=2" - 4th 1976: "Mata Hari" - 1st The Bendik Singers" 1973 winning song was given English-language lyrics and retitled "lieutenant"s Just a Game" for the 18th, which took place on 7 April in Luxembourg City, where it finished in seventh place of 17 entries. Strøm travelled to Brighton, England for the 1974 contest, held on 6 April. Again, the song had been translated into English as "The First Day of Love", and backing vocals were provided by the other Bendik Singers.
In this competitive field, "The First Day of Love" struggled to attract votes and ended as one of four songs sharing last place with just three votes each.
Strøm"s final Eurovision appearance, at the 1976 contest in The Hague on 3 April, ended in complete failure, as "Mata Hari" placed last of the 18 participating songs. Prior to the contest "Mata Hari", a very modern and contemporary disco-style song, had been expected to do well, but it was suggested afterwards that Strøm"s rather odd outfit and performance on the night may have cost votes.
With two last-place finishes from three entries, Strøm is usually cited as the least successful artist to have appeared in more than one as the only artist to date finish in last place twice. She released three albums between 1978 and 1986, which reflected a move towards a more serious style of music
