Vanilla Ninja, a three-member band, has been selected to represent Estonia at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with their song titled 'Too Epic to Be True.' The selection occurred during the Eesti Laul, Estonia's national selection competition, held at the Unibet Arena in Tallinn. In a competitive superfinaal, Vanilla Ninja garnered a significant 35% of the votes, outperforming second-place NOËP and third-place finisher Ollie.

This marks Vanilla Ninja's return to the Eurovision stage after previously competing in 2005 when they represented Switzerland with the song 'Cool Vibes.' Their participation in this year's contest underlines the band's enduring popularity and attempts to make a successful comeback on an international level. The Euroviisut holds significant cultural importance in Estonia, and the public's enthusiastic turnout at the Eesti Laul reflects the community's support for their national artists.

The outcome of the Eesti Laul also sets the stage for the upcoming Finnish Eurovision representative announcement, which is scheduled to be revealed on February 28. This includes another competitive event, the Uuden musiikin kilpailu, taking place at the Nokia Arena in Tampere. The anticipation surrounding these musical contests fosters a culturally rich environment in the Nordic regions as both countries prepare for the grand Eurovision finale.
