As the webmaster of the ultimate Vanilla Ninja fan hub, I am absolutely thrilled to share the latest news that has our favorite band trending everywhere! It is official: Vanilla Ninja has claimed victory at Eesti Laul, proving once and for all that they remain the undisputed queens of the Estonian music scene. The final results reveal a powerhouse performance fueled by a massive wave of public support, as the band secured the top spot in both rounds of the public vote, leaving no doubt about who the people wanted to see represent Estonia.
In the high-stakes superfinal, Vanilla Ninja garnered a staggering 16,584 votes from the public. This decisive lead placed them ahead of strong contenders like Noep, who received 15,161 votes, and Ollie, who followed closely with 15,148 votes. The consistency of the 'Ninja-mania' was evident from the very first round, where the band was the only act to break the 10,000-vote barrier, earning 10,070 votes. While the professional jury—which included international experts like Linnea Deb and Rosa Linn—initially favored Ollie, the sheer volume of fan calls and messages ensured that Vanilla Ninja's legacy continued to shine through.
This year’s competition was also historic due to the introduction of online voting alongside traditional phone lines. Although phone voting remained the preferred method for most fans, the digital engagement helped propel the show to a global audience via YouTube. Seeing the girls dominate the leaderboard against such talented modern acts is a testament to their enduring talent and the loyalty of us fans. We did it, Ninjas! This win is a celebration of rock-pop excellence and a perfect comeback story for the ages.
