2. Loredana (real name: Loredana Groza, born 10th of June, 1970 in Onesti, Romania) is considered, by and large, the most succesful, extravagant and charismatic female pop star in Romania.
She started singing at the age of three and she continued to sing throughout her school years. When she was 14, she was noticed by composers Dumitru Morosanu and Jold Kerestely, who invited her to Bucharest for the talent show "Steaua fara nume" ("The Star Without a Name"), although she was too young, as the minimum admission age was 17. She competed in the talent show in 1986, at 16 years old, and won the big prize. In the same year, she competed in the National Music Festival in Mamaia, where she got the best newcomer prize, which made her the youngest winner ever.
In 1987, at Costinesti Music Festival, she met the famous pop music composer Adrian Enescu. He wrote the song "O inima de 16 ani" for her, and after it became a hit, he decided to write a whole album for her. Thus Loredana's first album, "Buna seara, iubito" was released in 1988. Although the title song was not broadcast on Romanian television because of the Communist censorship, the album was a huge succes, being sold in one million copies. In 1989, Adrian Enescu and Lucian Avramescu produced her second album, "Un buchet de trandafiri", that was also successful.
Her career recorded a hiatus until 1994, when Loredana came back with the album "Atitudine" and a live show meant to revive her status as a pop star. In 1995 she toured the country with the band Directia 5. 1995 was also the year when she released the album "Nascuta toamna". In 1996 she released the album "Tomilio" and started the collaboration with ProTV and Media Pro Music. In 1997 she gave an unplugged concert at the National Theatre. She also featured on the hugely sucessful hit single "Lumea e a mea" by B.U.G. Mafia. In 1999 she released the sucessful EP "Aromaroma".
In 2000, Loredana appears on the cover of "Playboy" magazine, which sells out and confirms her as an undisputed sex symbol, more than ten years after her career took off. In 2001, Loredana hires the help of Adrian Enescu again for the album "Diva Inamorata".
Two albums inspired by popular music follow in 2002 "Agurida" and "Zaraza". In 2003, the album "Fata cu sosete de diamant" is released, followed by "Extravaganza" (2005) and "Jamparalele" (2006).
In 2006, she was the host of the MTV Romania Awards. In 2007, she was the warm-up artist for George Michael's concert in Bucharest.
Loredana is married to the TV producer Andrei Boncea. They have a daughter, Elena.

Femeia ta
Loredana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In final adoptata legal
Tu m-ai asezat pe un piedestal
Si te acolo m-ai lasat
Sa te poti uita sub fusta mea
Legal, legal, legal, legal.
Vrei un ideal
Pe ocean...
Sunt femeia ta
Ziua, noaptea,
De luni şi pana luni, a ta
Vrei un ideal, ziua, noaptea
Te astept la mal, sunt a ta.
Ti-am facut pe plac
Chiar daca asta nu sunt eu, ma complac
Eu sunt ideal, sunt un model,
Sunt o patura cerebrala
Sunt o femeie, sunt un ideal legal, legal.
Refren:.
The lyrics of Loredana's song "Femeia ta" depict a woman who has been adopted legally and placed on a pedestal by her partner. The singer acknowledges that they are the partner's possession, available day and night, all week long. The partner seeks an ideal, which the singer embodies by accommodating their partner's desires, even if it means suppressing her own identity. The lyrics incorporate the repetition of the word "legal," which highlights the formal, contractual nature of the partnership.
Overall, the song captures the tensions that arise in a relationship where one partner seeks to maintain control and dominance over the other. The lyrics depict a woman who is reduced to an object of desire, whose worth is defined by her ability to satisfy her partner's needs. Despite the singer's assertion of agency and their willingness to conform to this ideal, the lyrics hint at a sense of discomfort and a loss of personal autonomy.

Sunt femeia ta
I am your woman
In final adoptata legal
Legally adopted in the end
Tu m-ai asezat pe un piedestal
You put me on a pedestal
Si te acolo m-ai lasat
And there you left me
Sa te poti uita sub fusta mea
So you could look under my skirt
Vrei un ideal
You want an ideal
Cand pornesti sa navighezi
When you start to navigate
Pe ocean...
On the ocean...
Sunt femeia ta
I am your woman
Ziua, noaptea,
Day and night
De luni şi pana luni, a ta
From Monday to Monday, yours
Vrei un ideal, ziua, noaptea
You want an ideal, day and night
Te astept la mal, sunt a ta.
I am waiting for you on the shore, I am yours.
Ti-am facut pe plac
I did what you wanted
Chiar daca asta nu sunt eu, ma complac
Even if that is not me, I am satisfied
Eu sunt ideal, sunt un model,
I am the ideal, I am a model,
Sunt o patura cerebrala
I am a cerebral layer
Sunt o femeie, sunt un ideal legal, legal.
I am a woman, I am a legal ideal, legal.

Eu abia acum am observat ca la sfarsit Florin Calinescu ii da un cap in gura Loredanei. Super tare. Mai rar simtul asta al umorului ... Daca era o femeie nesigura pe ea, probabil ca lucrurile se petreceau invers. Loredana, tocmai ai spalat rusinea ultimilor 10 ani in care n-am scapat de tine in Piata Revolutiei la Revelion. :)
