Eda-Ines Etti (born 26 May 1981 in Haapsalu) is a singer and celebrity in Estonia, also known to a wider international audience for her association, in various forms, with her country's enthusiastic participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.

In 2000, under her abbreviated stage name Ines, she was Estonia's representative for the contest in Sweden. "Sverige" redirects here For other uses see Sweden (disambiguation and Sverige (disambiguation. Her song "Once In A Lifetime" had been tipped for what would have been a famous victory, but in the end came fourth, which in fact represented only a modest advance on the encouraging results Estonia had enjoyed in previous years.

In a strange twist of fate, however, one of her backing singers, Tanel Padar, won the right along with Dave Benton to represent Estonia the following year, but this time a serious challenge did not appear to be on the cards. Tanel Padar (born October 27, 1980) is an Estonian singer He is best known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. Dave Benton (born January 31, 1951, real name Efren Eugene Benita) is a pop musician and 2001 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. Against all the odds, the pair stormed to victory with the song "Everybody", claiming for Estonia the cherished right to become the first former Eastern bloc country to stage the contest in 2002. This had an unusual political significance, as Estonia was in the midst of negotiations to join the European Union, and hosting the contest offered an invaluable opportunity to present the country to the rest of continent as a modern, vibrant European nation. The European Union ( EU) is a political and economic union of twenty-seven member states, located primarily in There seemed every chance that Ines would once again be Estonia's public face at this pivotal moment, as she had reportedly been lined up to sing "Runaway", the front-runner for Eurolaul, the Estonian national selection contest for Eurovision.

However, she pulled out at the last moment, apparently concluding that one appearance at the Eurovision was enough for her. Given the unfortunate timing, an experienced Swedish singer, Sahlene, was hurriedly drafted in to perform "Runaway" at Eurolaul. Anna Cecilia Sahlin, commonly known as Sahlene, Anna Sahlin or Anna Sahlene, is a singer from Sweden. The song was deservedly still selected, but this left Estonia in the odd position of having a Swede represent them during their precious moment in the spotlight. This caused a great deal of controversy, with Ines' role in the affair inevitably coming under question.

Given her cold feet about singing in Eurovision again, it is perhaps surprising that Eda-Ines Etti has since gone on to practically become her country's 'Miss Eurovision' in a number of other ways, from taking on the role of national spokeswoman during the voting procedure, to becoming a co-presenter of Eurolaul in 2005. Eurolaul is an annual televised competition to select a song to represent Estonia in the year's Eurovision Song Contest, and literally means 'euro song'

Eda-Ines Etti entered Eurolaul in 2006 with the song "Iseendale", which came a close second to the winner "Through My Window", performed by Swede Sandra Oxenryd. Sandra Oxenryd (born on October 1, 1982 in Kristinehamn) is a Swedish Singer who won Fame Factory in 2005 Iseendale was notable as the only Estonian language song entered in 2006. She has again been included in the ten-strong line-up for Eurolaul in 2007, with a song entitled "In Good and Bad".

Eda-Ines Etti maintains a high profile in the popular imagination of the Estonian public. She and Martin Saar - a controversial young New York artist who has remained her close companion for a number of years - are seen as the young golden couple of Estonia. Martin Saar (born 30 April 1980 in Tallinn, Estonia) is an artist in New York.
