Estonia

Estonia
Artist - Getter Jaani
Song - Rockefeller Street
Draw - Semi-Final 2, Place 15

Getter Jaani was born in 1993, in Tallinn. She rose to fame by participating in the Estonian talent show, "Eesti otsib superstaari" (a show similar to "Pop Idol" and "the X Factor"), singing hits such as "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus and "Happy" by Leona Lewis. In the show, she came 4th, which eventually led her to have a role in "High School Musical" in Tallinn, playing Sharpay Evans. She attends the Centre of Vocational Disciplines, training to be a stylist/tailor.

During February 2011, Getter participated in the Estonian National Selection for Eurovision, "Eesti Laul". She was in the first of the two semi-finals, placing second with the jury and first with the public. In the final, she received 7 points from the jury, along with 10 from the televote. Getter and a group called "Outloudz" proceeded to the super final, with her winning with 62 % of the overall vote.

"Rockefeller Street" was written and composed by Sven Lõhmus, who also wrote previous Estonian entries, "Let's Get Loud" and  "Rändajad".

Current Betting Odds (William Hill) - 6/1
My Prediction - Great catchy song that sticks in your head. I think that this will qualify, placing in the top 10.
