Career

In November 2000, Kikki Danielsson, Elisabeth "Bettan" Andreassen and Lotta Engberg sang together at the TV-aid En helg för världens barn, there they sang the song "Feels Like Home" which was the first time for all three as a group.

Kikki Danielsson and Elisabeth Andreassen had sung together in the band Chips in the early 1980s, when they won Melodifestivalen 1982 with Dag efter dag. On the other hand, Kikki had competed with Bettan at the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 when Kikki was representing Sweden, while Bettan representing Norway as a part of Bobbysocks won that year.

Kikki, Bettan & Lotta competed in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2002, singing the song Vem é dé du vill ha (written by Thomas G:son), finishing third in the Swedish final on March 1, 2002.

From 2002 to 2004 they toured Sweden with their own three-star show. In 2004, Kikki fell out for "personal reasons". Bettan and Lotta continued to tour for some time alone.
