Estonia
Getter Jaani represents Estonia this year with "Rockefeller Street". The song was composed by Sven Lõhmus, who also wrote the Estonian entries in 2005 and 2009.

EUROVISION 2011 - IRELAND
Ireland's critical financial situation can only be explained by the fact that they must have blown their entire IMF loan on this years Eurovision entry! This year the one and only Jedward will be representing the Emerald Isle.
OK, they can't sing and the song will never be listed among the classics of Eurovision, but you've just got to love it and it must stand a chance of doing really well (or really badly), but we love it!!!
Here's the song...

EUROVISION 2011 - SWEDEN
As usual (well almost) Sweden have come up trumps with their Eurovision entry. Eric Saade represents the home of Ikea this year with his high energy track, Popular. A song that wastes no time in getting to the point. Popplastic are confident Eric's going to put Sweden back where they belong and restore their reputation as Eurovision royalty!
Here's the track...

Eric Saade also attempted to represent Sweden last year with his amazing song Manboy, how is wasn't selected will remain one of Eurovision's greatest unanswered question.
