Sandra Oxenryd

Sandra Oxenryd (born on 1 October 1982 in Kristinehamn) is a Swedish singer who won Fame Factory in 2005.

Oxenryd is a former economics student and floorball player. Aged eleven, she started her singing career by performing on national television. At 18, she placed second in a look-alike competition, where she mirrored Swedish superstar Carola Häggkvist. After winning the Swedish Fame Factory in 2005, Sandra recorded her debut album with the largest Swedish schlager record company. An international jury decided that Sandra Oxenryd would represent Estonia at Eurovision 2006 with the song Through My Window, a song with up-tempo country-soul music. The song is written by Pearu Paulus, Ilmar Laisaar, Alar Kotkas (composers) and Jana Hallas (lyricist), the same authors who wrote the Estonian entries for 2000 ("Once in a lifetime") and 2002 ("Runaway"), which came 4th and 3rd, respectively.

Despite the song becoming a 'fan favourite', "Through My Window" only scored 28 points and finished 18th in the semi-final, therefore not qualifying for the final.

Through My Window

"Through My Window" was the Estonian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, performed in English by Sandra Oxenryd.

As Estonia had not qualified for the final in their previous appearance, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed twenty-first (following Sweden's Carola with "Invincible" and preceding Bosnia and Herzegovina's Hari Mata Hari with "Lejla"). At the close of voting, it had received 28 points, placing 18th in a field of 23 - missing the final and forcing Estonia to qualify through the semi-final at their next appearance.

On stage with Sandra Oxenryd, there were 3 backing singers from Sweden, and Estonians Dagmar Oja and Jelena Juzvik.

Following the Contest, the song was covered by South African boy band Hi-5 as Daai Liedje (Your Song).
