Alexander at Finnish TV on September 16th

Here is the home made translation:

Finally, much happier topic:
Last week the Norwegian ESC winner AR visited Finland. His feet have remained firmly on the ground despite of the victory and great popularity.In the fact he did not win by accident and surprisingly because he has played and composed since he was very young. Busy Rybak played at Elämä Lapselle -concert but he has also time for fans and an unique visit a music school.

A.R. was born in Belarus, but at the age of 5 he moved to Norway. He won superiorly the Eurovision Song Contest with his own song. He went to Moscow with enormous pressure on his shoulders, as he was a favorite of bettors in all over Europe. The win was the result of his long and persistent work. His mother was a pianist and his father a violinist, so it was obvious that he started playing very early. Alexander is the concert master of the Norway's largest youth-orchestra. He reached the semi-finals of the Idol contest. Talent Norway competition he won with his own song "Foolin". He also plays his own compositions in the new great historical film, Johan- the child tramp, in which he acts as a gypsy.

His own musical film is still a dream, because the spinning around Europe has been so great that he has had only one day off after the victory.

The journalist asks a boy: "Why do you want an autograph of AR?" Boy: "He is the winner of the ESC and his music is so good." The journalist: "Does it matter that almost all of the fans are girls?" Boy: "No. And they are not all. "Journalist asks girl 1:" Does your mother like his music? "Girl 1:" Yes. She always listens to it full volume. "Ha ha - laughing. The journalist asks: "What is the feature which impresses you?" Girl 2: He plays the violin so well. Girl 3: He is musically gifted. I think it is great! "

Teen-idol enjoys communicating with children and young people. Despite of the busy schedule he paid a visit to junior high-school´s music class in Kruunuhaka.

The journalist´s last words: It is nice to end this programme in this positive atmosphere. See you next Wednesday.
