Ocean of people met Grand Prix-hero
- Oh my God. He is just so cute.

Girlfriends gang right in front of the stage had waited long to see Alexander Rybak live in the Trade Fair big stage last night. When the Grand Prix-idol started the music at CET 19.30, the many thousands of people were ready with full expectations.

- Difficult to estimate how many. Between 8000 and perhaps 10,000. The audience is spread over a several-acre area, "says artist manager at Trade Fair, Geir Tangen, the Varden. At that time, the friends Siren Fjeldstad, Nathalie Bjaaland, Sara Gjertsen and Malene Axling Madsen - all from Porsgrunn - already received full value for their presence. The girls had brought with them both teddy bears and red roses, which were given to Alexander, when he came down from the stage during the concert.

- But why teddy bears and roses?

- Because he's just so cute. He has a very sweet smile. And he's very good to play too, believes the girls.

- You will not get tired of the "Fairytale"-the song of his, then?

- No, we do not. And he's much prettier in real life than on TV, says Sarah Gjertsen. Together with her friend , she was in place about two hours before the concert began.

- We saw him here earlier in the evening as well, "says Malene Axling Madsen:

- It was Oh my God in other words, she believes.

Alexander's water glass
Two other very happy audience members were Marianne Andersen and Marlin Tollefsen, also from Porsgrunn. After drinking some water from a glass on stage, Alexaner gave the girls the glass and the rest of the water in the middle of the concert. After the concert was the glass empty.

- Have you been drinking the water, or ?

- We have been drinking it up, "smiles the girls happy.

- You are not afraid that Rybak is a little swine influenza ?

- No, when it is him, it is probably okay, thinks Marianne and Marlin who planned to get Alexanders autograph on the same water glass.

That Rybak had a big star among the many attendees was beyond doubt. Or as a very young man shouted in the direction of the scene just after the last encore was performed:

- I'll be like you when I grow up!
