Estonia - Vanilla Ninja

normal for estonia

Oh jumal, Vanilla Ninja, miks pagan te siin jälle olete? Kas teil pole veel küllalt?

I mean, vocally they have improved in contrast to their 2009 entry. But this is pretty much the only positive thing standing out. Firstly, this song fits a. 2005 more than 2026, b. the JESC more than the adult ESC. Otherwise, the song feels heavily overproduced... I am absolutely sure that Estonia will not qualify for the Grand Final this year and I cannot grasp what was in the minds of the Eesti Laul voters when pushing this up the ranks.

Their 2005 song is somehow more modern

Yeah… I really fail to understand Estonia’s choice here. However, I don’t think it’s as bad as some are making it out to be — it’s still fun, even if it will inevitably NQ.

Really nothing special, nothing bad but will almost certainly getting Estonia's worst result of the past 10 contests

I can’t tell if this is fun synth pop, or annoying Disney-pop. It somehow lands in both camps. It is catchy, but the actual lyric “Too Epic To Be True” does leave me cringing a little. 

Actually, after leaving it playing a little longer, it has strong Veronicas vibes (who should absolutely perform for Australia by the way).
