On 9 December 2010, Mihkel Raud, one of the judges, said on his Twitter account, that the fourth season starts in the beginning of 2011. On December 13, it was confirmed by TV3.

Liis Lemsalu, the winner of the show, was awarded with €10,000 and a record contract with the Universal Music. The show is followed by a tour "Eesti superstaar - Live tuur" around Estonia in June 2011.
Auditions for 2011 season were held in Pärnu (January 16), Tallinn (January 22–23), Tartu (January 29- 30) and Jõhvi (February 6, 2011). Only 60 singers were given the 'yellow cards' and qualified to the theatre rounds.
As only 20 of the sixty participants were male, all boys automatically qualified to the second round. Twenty-two girls qualified to the second round.
In the second round, participants were divided into 21 duos. Duos performed either Ott Lepland and Lenna Kuurmaa's "Sinuni" or James Morrison and Nelly Furtado's "Broken Strings". After second round, all the participants were divided into three groups named "Yes", "Maybe" and "No". People in groups "Yes" and "Maybe" qualified to the third round.
