Lennas Silvester Feier

Thursday's SL Õhtuleht is exploring how busy Estonian most famous musicians are on the New Year's Eve. They asked some questions to Lenna too...

"On the New Year's Eve I have only one performance in club Hollywood. I didn't look for job for that night, but finally I got 2 offers which I decided, I'd take one. It's a big MTV New Year's Eve party" Lenna says.
"December has been so busy this year. Help! At least one performance a day, sometimes two. It seems like people have too much money.." Lenna describes her December. "It's things have been out of hands, I have even tolerated some overload."
How much does it cost to get u to perform on New Years Eve? "About the prices so much that -double-or-nothing!" Lenna half-smiles.

VN in Kroonika

Sie wurden gefragt was sie über die Einladung denken im Mariton Grand Hotel (Tallinn) einen Weihnachtsbaum zu schmücken.

Piret Järvis:

"We have a Christmas tree tradition at home, we bring the tree into the room on December 24. Our ornamentation has become a bit less than it was before. The same is now with my sister and my brother.
Now we decorate it as it was first decorated. My sister Mari makes the tree most beautifully. She as well has a good taste for flowers as also for tree decoration. Our famaly is normal, that in a few times, the tree was overthrown. Until now, nobody's life was in danger.

Katrin Siska:

"We have had an artificial tree the last years, which we decorated together. When I was in Germany one year, we had not had any Christmas tree at home. We will not bring any tree into the room this year. It is tradition, that we go to mother and father over the the days. This was a big nerve consuming waiting. With stories and singing I tried to bridge the time. I also danced a bit."

Lenna Kuurmaa:

"I have never taken a break in Christmas. Every year we went visiting the same family friends. When I was pretty small, we were visited by Father Christmas, but normally he left the presents under the Christmas tree."

Meeting mit Katrin und Absage des Songs!

Am Samstag hatten Fans, die ein Geschenk für Katrin vorbereitet hatten, sie treffen.

Sie haben rausgefunden, dass in naher Zukunft kein neuer Song der Ninjas erscheinen wird! Denn Elmar Liitmaa hat die Musik geschrieben und Die Ninjas wollten die Lyrics selbst schreiben. Dies akzeptierte Liitmaa nicht. Katrin sagte aber auch, dass sie trotzdem einen neuen Song nächstes Jahr machen werden.

Ende dieses Jahres wird Katrin nach Indien gehen. Dort wird sie Silvester feiern und ich ausruhen.

Vanilla Ninja gewinnen!

Gute Nachrichten im über EMI gegen Brandes Fall.

Vanilla Ninja (EMI) gewannen das Verfahren gegen Brandes!

Das Gerichtsverfahren, welches ein halbes Jahr dauerte, zwischen Vanilla Ninja's ex Produzent David Brandes und EMI, welche das letzte Album "Die Liebe ist Krieg" veröffentlichten, hat die Lösung: Die Mädchen sind wieder Eigentümer von ihrem Namen, auf den internationalen Markt!

Nach dem Beschluss des Amtsgerichts Köln muss Brandes die Kosten des Verfahrens tragen. Vanilla Ninjas Vertrag mit EMI ist ausgelaufen und auch Bros Music hat keine Pläne mehr mit ihnen.

"It was initiated by Brandes, who claimed, that we shouldn't have released our last record under EMI" erklärte Järvis.

"In Estonia, basically, we can't release an album under the name Vanilla Ninja, if we can't make a deal with owner of trademark. But in Estonia chainging the name is smallest problem," said Järvis.

"Abroad our trademark belongs also to one other person, with who we have an agreement, that we can use it" fügt sie hinzu. "To use artist name, noone can't forbid us".

Schlußendlich versprach Piret das die Band weiter besteht. Sie wollen nun eine Pause um Ideen zu sammeln und dann ins Studio zurück zu kehren.

Lenna bei New Yorker

Lenna hat am 7ten Dezember bei New Yorkers eröffnung einer Finiale performt.

Triinus Debüt!

Am 14. Dezember wird nun endlich Triinus erste Solo CD veröffentlicht. Dabei handelt es sich um die Maxi zum Song "Home". Wenn ihr wollt könnt ihr hier schon mal reinhören.

Unser persönlicher Fav-Song von Trinu ist "Fallin" und so hoffen wir ihn endlich komplett, mit als Bonus, auf der Maxi hören zu können. Ob uns dieser Wunsch erfüllt wird, werden wir wohl erst morgen erfahren.

Happy Birthday!

Heute hat Katrin Geburtstag!
Wir wünschen ihr alles liebe und viel Glück ;)

Katrin bevorzugt Yoga im Vergleich zum Internet

Katrin hat in der Zeitschrift Naised (Frauen) gesagt, dass sie lieber Yoga macht als Stunden lang vor dem PC zu sitzen.

"One spring I made myself an account in Orkut portal and I was a dense quest there for about half a year. I communicated there a lot with my friends and people who were connected to my work. But now I don't feel like logging in to Orkut at all"

sagte sie und fügt hinzu, das sie momentan nur einen kleinen Teil des tages am PC verbringt und ihrem Tag mit Yoga startet.

"Before I always started my morning with turning the computer on, I read news and e-mails, but now I have given my finger to yoga"

erklärt Katrin.

News Flash

As much as Ninjaportaal knows, Lenna Kuurmaa, Piret Järvis and Katrin Siska will start the recording of their new song. Its composer is Elmar Liitmaa - the one who worked also on their Eurolaul song - "Birds of Peace". The new radio hit will be calm as it is winter.
The title is still unknown. Some of you could have already seen the single, because it was added to singles in our Music section last month, so that was a new single we're informing about right now. The extra info from us: The radio single will be released before Christmas and it is very possible that both Lenna's and Piret's voices will be heard in the song.



Estonian TV channel made a list of the most important events in Estonia in 2007.
We can find "a battle of Vanilla Ninja to survive" on the 10th place. The video of the list is here. The celebrities seen on the video criticise Simakov for his ideas of creating Russian band and trying to destroy real ninjas. The full list we can see here and Lenna with Mikk Saar are on the 14th place and Õllesummer - the festival they performed at is on the 17th place.



In the new Kroonika Advent Edition we can find an article in which they asked stars about dwarves - how they get along with them and what great memories they have about Advent.

"I believed in dwarves for quite long time, my parents were experts in bringing me candies. I went to school and everybody kept saying that dwarves don't exist, but even when I was about 11-12, I was so sure that they did exist. I had such a broad-minded faith in them also because I thought I had seen them in action and talking behind the window when I was a kid. It's possible that it was a dream, but I thought about it as a reality".

Also, in today's SL Õhtuleht there is a piece of information taken from Ninjaportaal.

On 1st December we found out that VN is not a finalist in Eurolaul 2008. Vanilla Ninja Portaal asked Piret Järvis, why was there no offer from ETV or is VN not taking part because of the name-thing or for some other reason.
"Oh, enough of that Eurovision crap" - answered Piret today to VNP. "We took part in that show three times and I have cut through my Eurovision-dose multiple.



At 2.12. Lenna performed at Advent Concert in Keila together with Nele-Liis Vaiksoo and Mihkel Mattiisen.
She sang following songs: "Sulle kes sa kaugel", "When The Indians Cry", "Falling Star", "Saatus Naerdes Homse Toob", Norah Jones's "Don't Know Why", "You Got A Friend" in Estonian, repertory of musical "Chess and Georg" and many other famous songs. (Source: VNCity)
