It’s also posted on Esti Televisions official site! Though, it’s estonian. I don’t know what it actually means but all I can read is Lenna so I’m sure it has something to do with her, haha! Click here to visit the official site!

While browsing through Dailymotion.com, I came across this. This video was uploaded YESTERDAY. Our girls are performing the song Club Kung live! Credit goes to the original uploader.

Okay boys and girls. I thought it’s time for a little Lenna-Kuurmaa.com exclusive. From now on I will post my favorite picture of the week! This means, each week I will post a picture of the Ninjas or just Lenna that I absolutely LOVE! This week I’ve chosen the one you see in the preview. Our girls are made of WIN, isn’t it obvisous? I can’t explain how much I love this picture. Everyone looks fantastic! I love Lennas face expression. Looks like the girls are damn proud of each other! I don’t blame them though because they’re so damn perfect! I’ve added this picture to the gallery so make sure to check it out! It’s definitely worth a look!! (:

Four Estonian musicians and music producers were asked by the newspaper Postimees to rate, in Eurovision style, the songs competing at the 2010 Eesti Laul, the country’s selection for Eurovision. Rapunzel, to be sung by Lenna Kuurmaa, got the highest score of all 10 participants.

Allan Roosileht, of Star FM, stated to Postimees that “the level of the songs is higher than previous years”, but he would like to see “even more fresh thinking” because, to his opinion, “some songs are still competing in former Eurolaul”, he said.

Estonian representative at Eurovision 1999, Evelin Samuel, said that the contest “is and will always be a place for euro and ethnopop” and she does not think that “Europe’s taste will change”.

The jury also comprised Leo Karpin, former music director at ETV, and Ithaka-Maria Rahula.

After the members of the panel voted, the results look like:

1. Lenna Kuurmaa – Rapunzel: 33 pts.
2. Iiris Vesik – Astronaut: 31 pts.
3. Marten Kuningas & Mahavok – Oota mind veel: 27 pts.
4. Violina & Rolf Junior – Maagiline päev: 25 pts.
5. Groundhog Day – Teiste seest kõigile: 23 pts.
6. Malcolm Lincoln – Siren: 21 pts.
7. Mimicry – New: 20 pts.
8. 3 Pead – Poolel teel: 20 pts.
9. Disko 4000 – Ei usu: 19 pts.
10. Tiiu Kiik – The one and only – love: 13 pts.

I’d like to say a BIGGGGGGGGGGG Happy Birthday to the lovely Piret Järvis. I hope she has a fantastic day (I’m pretty sure she will) & gets everything she wished for. As most of you know, Piret is Lennas best friend so I thought I’d post something directed to her! If you’d like to see some pictures of them together, here’s a short video a fan made. Credit goes out to whoever made it. Enjoy!

As you can see, I’ve put up a brand new layout! It’s a sign because the site is now full up and running! Hope you like it.

EscDaily had the oportunity to speak with Estonian Singer and Eurovision star Lenna Kuurmaa. In 2005 she already took part in the Eurovision Song Contest together with her band Vanilla Ninja for Switzerland. This year Lenna is again entering the Estonian preselection for a ticket to Oslo.

EscDaily: Hello Lenna, thank you for answering our questions today, I hope you are doing fine! First of all, why did you decide to take part once again in the Estonian national final?
Lenna: Well..I am doing my first solo album at the moment, I am very excited about it (: . It will be released in spring 2010. So I thought it is good promotion for a song if you get to the national final. And i have never had anything against representing my country, if I know I have a good song and I can give my all with it. I love the song, that is the reason why we decided to send it to the competition.
EscDaily: What is your song about? What can we expect?
Lenna: It is about how thing happen in real life as they do in fairytales. Maybe life is a fairytale? You know the story about Rapunzel? (:
EscDaily: You already took part in the Eurovision Song Contest with your band “Vanilla Ninja”. How was it for you to perform in such a big event?
Lenna: It was a great feeling.
EscDaily: This year you are trying to make it solo to Oslo. Is it for you now a little bit unusual to perform without your band?
Lenna: I have been performing without the band (my girls) many times, actually very many times. So I think it will not be unusual, but it is different.
EscDaily: What would it mean for you to perform on Eurovision stage once again?
Lenna: I think it would be a different feeling to do it for my country.
EscDaily: Are you an Eurovision fan?
Lenna: I have always watched it, some years I have been more into it then others, depending how good the songs are and the performances.
EscDaily: What do you think about the fact that this year there will be 50% jury and 50% public voting in the semifinals and in the final?
Lenna: I think it is fair.
EscDaily: Are you working on any new projects? Will we hear something new from “Vanilla Ninja” soon?
Lenna: like I said, I am doing my solo album at the moment, should be ready soon. Can’t wait (:
EscDaily: And finally; do you have a message for our EscDaily readers?
Lenna: Enjoy music. and keep positive feelings close. Thank you for your support!!!!! With best wishes, Lenna.
EscDaily: Lenna, thank you for this great interview. It was a real pleasure. We wish you all the best in the national final this year and also in your further career. Thanks!
