Wish Urban Symphony would hurry up with their album.
I met Kõit Toome through a friend in Tallinn, he's a kind soul....
he didnt reveal his duet partner , but he mentioned , that he has never worked together with that woman before
@Sanka
will he sing together with Ines?
Although its not very important information - i Know , that Koit is going to take part in Eesti laul this year , with a duet
Well, I think the song by Koit Toome was a bit bland, trying to copy that popular sound again, but I like some of his other older stuff.
Urban Symphony should have won both, lol.
@Herki T
I wouldn't expect such a comment from an Estonian! 
''Kaugele Siit'' is one of the best songs in the whole ESC imo! 
Urban Symphony had the best song of the year for Estonian artists..
I am Estonian, I really hate that winner song "Kaugele siit", IMO its the worst song of the year!
Congratulations, Urban Symphony, and thank you for a great song.
Until Urban Symphony came along, Koit's 1998 song was my favourite Estonian ESC entry. Don't like any of his other songs though.
the article should be updated to include Tanel Padar !
yes , Tanel Padar is the singer in The sun
two ? what about The Sun ? Isn't Tanel Padar the leader of that group ? Anyway great for Urban Symphony, hope they'll get more great songs, including some rockier stuff
