Vanilla Ninja - Cool Vibes (Switzerland) Live - Eurovision Song Contest 2005

Vanilla Ninja represented Switzerland at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv with the song Cool Vibes

[@Blue-Mo0n]

After 16 years I still come back to this song again and again. It's extremely rare for me to remember a Eurovision song especially this old. I love it. The song itself is dynamic but it also makes me feel pain for some unknown reason.

[@davidaraujo5203]

Me too...😉

[@mitsoskol7859]

I couldn't have said it better! What an underrated song and damn it it's amazing!

[@NinjaRebel]

Now 17 years. It’s Lenna’s voice. She has the bewitching ability to reach inside and mess with your feelings. Cool Vibes is good but many other of their other songs go deeper. So many songs where Lenna reaches into your soul. Go listen ‘Silence’. 🤗

[@alexeylarin1854]

As an Estonian, I prefer to think this was our entry))

[@exlibrisas]

This song literally changed my life. When I heard it, I realized what kind of music I want. Because of Cool Vibes, I found Evanescence, Within Temptation, other bands. Later - metal, like Kamelot, Nightwish, Swallow the Sun and others. And I found gothic art with gothic philosophy as well. My tastes got evolved and refined. Everything - taste for music, artstyle, ideology, video games and everything evolved in this way because of one, great song in 2005. So even if I am a fan of metal, I always watch Eurovision. Sadly, no Eurovision will ever be like the one in 2005.

[@aleksanderpagels288]

Exactly, best Eurovision ever, FOUR rock songs in the final!

[@assassinzrgamerz]

Maybe you'll like Lacuna Coil

[@MarJov]

How about this year's Hungary entry?

[@pyrob2142]

Same here! I also love this years entry from Hungary. The rest is always pretty much the same, it's the rock / metal performances that stand out to me.

[@lawwix]

I think it went almost the same way for me too! After this I found Evanescence, Within Temptation and Nightwish!!

[@jorgepedroso6915]

In 2019 I still think this is one of the best ever 😻

Lenna in 2005 is my ideal of women's beauty

[@togu129]

2021 ;)

[@ChrisScott0]

I concur in 2021. Lenna's voice is amazing and Vanilla Ninja should have won it. All time Eurovision Song Contest great. A Classic!

[@ChrisScott0]

This video was ‘quietly’ posted 12 years late and long after the event. You’d think 12 years later and now 16 years on in 2021, especially while the band was then dormant, everybody would have forgotten about this performance. Viewers have had to search for it as it’s hidden away, but even so over half a million views, and it’s still popular in late 2021. I can only imagine the millions of views this would have accumulated if it had been presented at the time in 2005 when fresh. From this first exposure and one time listen, I discovered this Estonian band and became the huge fan. This Switzerland entry - Vanilla Ninja singing ‘Cool Vibes’ live, is an all time ESC classic great! 🥇⭐👏

2025 and still here! Love from Greece!

@@doggdogg6019 But at least Laura Poldvere was better in 2017. She and Koit Toome finished 14th in semi-final 2. Didn't qualify, but "Verona" was a bop. "Let's get loud" is a failed attempt at being the Spice Girls.

This is one of the best export articles of the country Estonia, as the singers were imported for Switzerland performance. The lead singer of vanilla Ninja Lenna Kuurmaa now lives in private house in idyllic South-Estonia region Setomaa and raises three kids. She is a very nice person as well as the other members of the band.

2005, the year when Switzerland *really* wanted to win, as Vanilla Ninja was then one of the most popular bands in Europe :) Really great song, even in 2017 it sounds nice :3

[@litalchok1994]

So many years and this song is the most stuck in my head and I hum it all the time. The band got at least second place. 2005 was a great year with iconic songs. They don't make songs like this anymore...

[@ChrisScott0]

Surprisingly there were a few decent songs at Eurovision in 2005, with this many say was the best. Plus for many they still continue to listen and hum Cool Vibes decades later. A classic ESC song that didn’t win. Vanilla Ninja and Lenna continue to make great songs. If you’ve not already - search for Vanilla Ninja: ‘Waterfalls’, ‘The Reason Is You’, ‘Encore’, ‘No Regrets’ for a few recent songs. 🎤🤗

[@Hello-Out-There]

@@ChrisScott0 I'm sure Germany had a good song too - if I remember rightly.

[@ChrisScott0]

@@Hello-Out-There 😆🤣 The one that came last!? 😂 Not one of David Brandes best choices. But at least Germany did better than Estonia as they didn't even make it in. 🤔 I wish Vanilla Ninja were performing in Liverpool 2023 ESC this Saturday.

[@ChrisScott0]

@@loffeltv7186 Firstly if you don’t already know Vanilla Ninja are the great group even now in 2023. Lenna Kuurmaa the exceptional singer. Search here 'Vanilla Ninja mega list'. In 2005 Vanilla Ninja popular in their home country Estonia and becoming more so across Europe, failed to win to represent Estonia. Estonia didn’t want them, and instead the selected Estonian band didn’t even make it to qualify for the ESC. Switzerland not having any success for decades thought to engage Vanilla Ninja, plus also their then manager David Brandes was part German / Swiss. So VN won to represent Switzerland. Fortunately that’s where I first discovered VN and since been the big fan.
