'Like the theme song of a Disney series!' Vanilla Ninja's winning song receives criticism on social media, betting companies don't predict good outcomes
Following Vanilla Ninja's victory in the Eesti Laul 2026 final, the odds of advancing in the Eurovision semi-finals are not promising according to betting companies and social media commentators.
Vanilla Ninja's recent win in the Eesti Laul 2026 finals has sparked a wave of skepticism among both betting companies and social media users. Many commentators have voiced their concerns, suggesting that despite the win, Estonia's chances of progressing beyond the Eurovision semi-finals are quite low. This reaction indicates a general lack of confidence in Vanilla Ninja's song as a competitive entry at Eurovision.
Moreover, several users on social media have highlighted that fellow competitors, specifically Ollie and NOËP, would likely achieve better results for Estonia in the Eurovision context. This commentary reflects a broader discussion about the suitability of song choices for international competitions and might suggest a preference among fans for different styles or themes than what Vanilla Ninja has presented.
The criticism raises important questions about the dynamics of public perception in competitions like the Eurovision Song Contest. Given the varying tastes of the audience and the strategic considerations of choosing a musical entry, it's crucial to evaluate how such feedback might influence future selections for international competitions, as well as how it steers public sentiment toward Estonia's musical representation on such large platforms.
