I assume Estonia is a small country where nothing interesting happens so it`s not a problem for something like that to catch headlines.
So what was written in the interview and how do you compare the reaction to this video to the one of Shiri?

So now i have more than 65.000 clicks and i was in TV in estonia and many other magazines (just look at my channel www.youtube.com/kaasaaraa )
Here is what is says in the interview (i hope :-D)
First, whats your name? Kathy or Kathrina (I have heard this radio-interview)?
My name is Katharina.
How long you have been singing?
I have been singing for almost 6 years, but i never had voice lessons, itīs just a hobby :-)
I got it right away, that you are german, cos no ausländer cant say letter Ü, have you learned estonian?
No I havenīt learned Estonian... The first time i have heard a song in estonian was this eurovision!
How you can sing so clear in estonian? Almost no mistakes!
Well, this is a hard question, and a often asked question. As you know i also like to sing in Hebrew because i am a fan of Shiri Maimon (a Hebrew singer, she sung in eurovision 2005) but i never learned Hebrew and I understand nothing. Maybe i have a good ear for music, and itīs just fun for me to speak other languages although i donīt know them. Itīs always a challenge for me to try the right spelling and its so much fun :-)
Is Rändajad your first try to sing in estonian? When yes, its was a hard choice and came out super geil!
Thank you :-) Yes it was the first time! I never heard a estonian song before as i said... As I see "Rändajad" at Eurovision i fell in love with this song... so i decided to make a video of me singing it... i only pratice it a few times (I heard the song at eurovision and the next day my cover was online ^^)but i never thought it would have such an attention like my hebrew covers!!!
Would you sing more in estonian?!
Of course i would sing more in estonian i just have to find another beautiful song ;-)
You also have many songs in hebrewan in YouTube, why so? Why you dont sing in german or in english as most of people?
As I said I am a fan of Shiri Maimon, a hebrew singer. I am in a fan-forum of her and there i tell the other fans that i like to sing. so they asked me if i could sing a song of Shiri and make a video of it... I tried it and then i had suddenly over 20.000 clicks :-)
I think singing in English is beautiful, but itīs not my favourite... I just like different languages espacially when they are as nice as Estonian! And German... well i donīt like too much German songs :-D My taste of music is a little bit different ;-)

Posted 25-05-2009 09:58 IPNice interview Kathi. in order to like songs in other languages you indeed got to have a musical ear and being able to ignore the fact that you don`t understand the meaning.
After your success are there any plans to turning the hobby into something more serious? maybe start posting original songs, going to German idol, having voice lessons?
p.s. - you don`t need a seminar about Israel when you got me in the forum
