Estonia n girl-band, comprised entirely of students, which represented their country in theEurovision Song Contest 2005 inKiev ,Ukraine . The original four-strong line-up wasMari-Leen Kaselaan (b. 2.12.1987),Rebecca Kontus ,Laura Põldvere andJaanika Vilipo . They were later joined by a fifth member,Daana Ots .The group had to win Eurolaul, the country’s annual pre-selection competition for Eurovision. Their sternest rival proved to be one of their own members - Laura Põldvere was entered as a solo act, and her song "Moonwalk" attracted a healthy 9906 votes. However, for a third year running Estonia's televoters demonstrated their apparent predilection for girl-bands, giving Suntribe's "Let's Get Loud" 10583 votes to earn the ticket to Kyiv.
"Let’s Get Loud" was written by
Sven Lõhmus , who also penned the first in the run of girl-band entries to top the popular vote at Eurolaul, namelyVanilla Ninja 's "Club Kung-Fu" in 2003. It failed to qualfy from the semi-final in Kiev.The group disbanded shortly after Eurovision 2005.
