Inspired by the likes of divas Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Beyonce, Karen's got high hopes of stardom. The bubbly 18-year-old began performing at a young age but has received no formal training other than a few singing lessons when she was younger.

Now she's raring to go and excited to be performing on 'Your Country Needs' you. But will she get your vote?

Favourite Eurovision memory:

Jade Ewen singing 'It's My Time' in 2009, because it was "so memorable" and she likes "that type of song".
