Eurovision 2003 - Number 42 - Vanilla Ninja - "Club Kung-Fu"

Vanilla Ninja are big. Bigger than you think. They've sold huge numbers of albums and singles, not only in Estonia but across Central Europe. They sung with Justin Timberlake, supported Pink and won the Silver Seagull at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile. They're A-listers in Estonia and well-known as far away as Germany.

Eurolaul 2003 is where it all started. One member of the band, Maarja Kivi entered Eurolaul before, in 2002. That got her into the band alongside Lenna Kuurmaa, Piret Järvis and Katrin Siska formed earlier in 2003. They were put together by producer, song-writer and band manager Sven Lõhmus, himself at the beginning of what is going to become a career as perhaps Estonia's leading producer and the man behind many of Estonia's Eurovision entries.

Club Kung-Fu is the lead and title single from their first LP. Before it gets into its groove it uses an overly stereotypical Eastern musical motif (perhaps the main thing that puts me off this song), before it launches into some full throttle pop-rock that conjures Suzi Quattro to mind. Yes, its basic and the band members have some finesse to find, but its well-executed. A perfect career opener.

Eurolaul in 2003 was 100% international jury voted. Interestingly there was a phone poll performed, but it didn't contribute to the final outcome. It still got 77,729 votes. Club Kung-Fu landslided that televote, gaining over 37,000 - nearly 50% of the entire public vote. The international jury consisted of such luminaries and Eurovision alumni as Darja Švajger, Renārs Kaupers and Michael Ball. That jury tanked Vanilla Ninja, placing them joint 9th and last.

They'd be back, but that must have stung at the beginning - it wasn't enough to put them off though, and the public love translated into record sales. Four more singles followed in 2003, then a second album in 2004 as well as launching in Germany, Austria and Switzerland... ...which may be part of the next stage of their story.

But that's for another time.

I do not know if it is really necessary to outdo ourselves and conquer all the world charts. Throughout my long life, I have been wondering if the top is the right place to be. It is often lonely and sad, at least in the world of entertainment. It is now far more important for me to enjoy the process and not so much to push for the top of the charts. It is important for me that I get to make good music with this super nice bunch of women and travel around with them. It brings so much excitement to life. Let life be an adventure. In fact, it is also the case that girl and women bands somehow give up too quickly, set against the male ensembles. U2, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, and the list could be going on, have been peacefully operating for decades. But there are no female bands of the same calibre and time of activity that could be compared. Although we live in times when women fight for equal treatment and equal rights, there is no such balance in the music world. Raising children and taking care of the house eventually fall on women and at some point, they are left out, while men can have fun and rock on. I hope that Vanilla Ninja can make a difference here and show that next to children and families you can also make a career in music.
