Soovitan "Eesti Elul" tulevikus mitte ära tuua artikleid, mis on otseselt vaenulikud meie noorte vastu.

The best response yet to this article and the lousy commentators! Look forward to seeing familiar faces amongst the mass choir on the big day. We'll be cheering for you Toronto in the rongkäik.

It is both offensive and hurtful that some Estonians (uniformed, yet bold enough to comment) surmize that youth of Estonian heritage living in Canada who chose to sing in a choir are not up to the same standard as Estonian youth Choirs in Estonia. Most of these are music majors or take private lessons and, are fluent in the Estonian language.
Why should they not be able to join in the mass choir in Tallinn, when they have qualified and deserve to participate.?
Considering that these youth are of the age that their GRANDPARENTS were when they escaped Estonia, these choir members have wisely chosen to retain their Estonian culture. Estonians around the world applaud not only their efforts, but those of their Canadian born parents and their professional musical leadership.
