Short interview made by a fan from Facebook Helen Goldberg while Alexander was in Moscow 17.08.09.

(translation of the record)

Helen: You’ve come to Moscow to the contest “Minute of glory”. This program is the second one for you in such style. You’ve already been in Ukraine in the contest “Ukraine got talent”. Did you come in Moscow to be in a jury or to perform?
Alex: Now I just performed.
Helen: What did you sing?
Alex: The song I have won with.
Helen: Fairytale?
Alex: I have other songs, of course, but I sang “Fairytale” because this is the first time I’m in Moscow after Eurovision.
Helen: How did the audience take you?
Alex: Very good.
Helen: Did you like it?
Alex: The most important that they are so… how to say this… amb…
Helen: Ambitious?
Alex: No.
Helen: Engaging?
Alex: Yes, engaging.
Helen: Do you get a warmer response from Russian fans or from Norwegian?
Alex: On concerts, for example, Norwegian audience applauds little more. But in Russia people are more sincere when they meet me in the street. Because in Norway people only scream when they are in a role of audience but in Russia it’s when I walk in the streets I feel that they…
Helen: I’m going to ask you a little bit immodest question. Recently you have been in Croatia and given an interview on TV.
Alex: I have not been there.
Helen: No? But it was uploaded on Youtube…
Alex: Maybe it’s been on TV in Croatia but I haven’t been there.
Helen: In that interview they asked you - do you have a girlfriend - and you answered “no”. And then they asked you – do you have only one-night-stands? And you said “yes”. Is this true or you misunderstood the question?
Alex: One-night-stand? In Croatia?
Helen: No, in general. You’ve sung a song: “…soon a millionaire, with a lovely girl sleeping in my bed…”
Alex: Ah, yeah, well, it was more like a joke.
Helen: So, you don’t have a constant girlfriend? Only one-night-stands?
Alex: No. Of course, sometimes likewise the most of the guys… when you meet a girl and though you know you won’t see her again but still you want to be with her if she is nice....

This was the end of the record. Helen has made a transcription of the interview including the unrecorded ending but unfortunately there are some missing parts in it as well, so the complete translation can’t be done.

After the interview Helen has filmed Alexander saying “Hello” to his fans on Facebook. The video you can find on the wall in the section “fan’s video”.
