Getter Jaani (born 3 February 1993 in Tallinn) is an Estonian pop singer. She represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with her entry "Rockefeller Street".[1] Despite being an initial favourite and qualifying for the final, she finished in the penultimate position at 24th place. Among Eurovision fans and fan sites the term "pulling a Getter Jaani" was coined to describe a huge favorite to win Eurovision that fails to reach the top 10 or even top 20. Getter Jaani came to stardom on the third season of Eesti otsib superstaari, an Estonian version of Pop Idol, where she finished 4th which led her to the role of Sharpay Evans in "High School Musical" in Tallinn (2010). She has also taken part as herself in a popular TV series, called "Riigimehed", aired on ETV (2010).
Getter was born and raised in Tallinn where she continues her studies at the Centre of Vocational Disciplines to become a tailor-stylist. She also takes acting classes at the School of Fine Arts, led by Kaari Sillamaa who has written the Estonian lyrics for the Estonian Eurovision entries of 1996 ("Kaelakee hääl") and 1999 ("Diamond of Night").
In 2011, Jaani participated as a celebrity contestant on the fifth season of Tantsud tähtedega, an Estonian version of Dancing with the Stars. Her professional dancing parner was Ott-Sander Palm.
On May 26, she presented the scores on behalf of Estonia for the grand-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 held in Baku, Azerbaijan.[2]
