Austria

Austria
Artist - Nadine Beiler
Song - The Secret Is Love
Draw - Semi-Final 2, Place 2

Nadine Beiler was born in 1990, in the village on Inzing in Austria. In 2006, Nadine auditioned for the Austrian show, Starmania. After making it through to the main shows, she won the final in early 2007, after performing hits such as "My Number One" by Helena Paparizou and "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera.

It was confirmed in late July 2010, that Austria would be returning to Eurovision after a four year break. On the 3rd January 2011, ORF (the Austrian broadcaster) announced the 30 candidates for the online voting. Included in these, were popular artists that had already grown to fame in Austria, such as the rock band "Excuse Me Moses", Petra Frey and former Austrian representative Alf Poier. In the online voting Nadine was placed second, only four points behind the winner. On the 25th of February, the national televised final took place, with the top 10 artists from the online voting participating. Nadine, along with two other acts, proceeded to the Super Final, where she won with 46.73% of the final vote.

Her song is "The Secret is Love", written by Nadine Beiler, and composed by Thomas Rabitsch. The song is a pop ballad, which shows off her vocal ability.

Current Betting Odds (William Hill) - 33/1
My Prediction - I think this could progress to the final. Placing between 16 and 25.


                            Viel glück!!
