At the very least, she's well on her way to putting her hometown of Elva (population: 5,000) on the pop music map, although her international fame didn't always seem so imminent. Kerli (born Kerli Kolv in 1987) just missed winning not one, but two, talent contests: the 2001 Eurolaul, which determines the Estonian representative to Eurovision, and Swedish contest Melodifestivalen in 2003. But persistence apparently pays off (if you're a cute, blonde dance-pop diva with a dark, goth-y edge, anyway) because in 2006 Kerli managed to swing an audition with L.A. Reid, who signed her to Island Def Jam almost on the spot. A self-titled EP in 2007 was followed by her debut, 2008's <I>Love Is Dead</I>. The videos for her debut's title track and the single "Walking on Air" were put into rotation on MTV, properly rendering <I>Love Is Dead</I> one small step for Kerli, one giant leap for the would-be pop stars of former Soviet Republics. - Rachel DevittDance Popen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:57:02 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16828880&rws=%2Fkerli%2Fdiscography.rss It's probably safe to say that Kerli is Estonia's most famous pop star.
