merethe trøan -lrb- born 19 may 1970 , trondheim -rrb- is a norwegian singer , best known for her participation in the 1992 eurovision song contest .
in her teens , trøan and her sister were members of vocal group pastel together with two brothers -lrb- not related to the trøans -rrb- .
in 1985 , pastel took part in the norwegian eurovision song contest selection , melodi grand prix , with the song `` ring ring ring '' finishing third .
pastel released one self-titled lp before disbanding .
in 1992 , trøan returned to mgp as a solo artist , and this time was successful with the song `` visjoner '' being chosen as the norwegian entry for the 37th eurovision song contest , held in malmö , sweden on 9 may .
`` visjoner '' did not prove very successful , managing only 18th place of 23 entries , although trøan 's performance is remembered for a spontaneous giggle midway through the song .
trøan subsequently took up work as a voice actor , her credits including the norwegian versions of disney 's `` beauty and the beast '' and `` the jungle book 2 '' .
