Lena Philipsson (also known as Lena Ph; born on January 19, 1966 in Vetlanda, Sweden) is a Sweden|Swedish singer and media personality.
Philipsson participated in the Swedish ''New Faces'' in 1982. Her career started with the single ''Boy/You Open My Eyes'' in 1984 and with her entries at Melodifestivalen in Melodifestivalen 1986|1986, Melodifestivalen 1987|1987 and Melodifestivalen 1988|1988. In the early 1990s her fame increased in Sweden, and she continued to release albums until 1997. In 2001 she had a stage comeback, in the successful "Lena Philipsson Show". It was sold out for two and a half years around Sweden. In 2004, she returned after a seven year hiatus from the album charts.
In 2004, she entered Melodifestivalen for the fourth time as a solo artist, with "Det gör ont". She made it through the semifinal process and emerged as the winner on March 20, 2004, representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul. The song, called "It Hurts" in English, was composed by Orup|Thomas Eriksson and combined up-tempo and disco themes. Philipsson's stage appearance caused much controversy in Swedish press and media because her performance, in a short fuchsia pink dress and high heels, consisted of dancing with the microphone stand in a fashion similar to Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
