Alexander Rybak: "I don’t dream to get married!"
Finally! Alexander Rybak, the winner of ESC 2009, a Belarusian’s Norwegian or Norwegian’s Belarusian, as you prefer, arrived in Minsk with a solo program. Alexander is a frequent guest in Belarus last days, but until now his performances were limited to his famous “Fairytale”, however, he isn’t afraid to become one-song-singer:
A. - Why? It’s enough! That's the biggest dream for all composers to write a hit ... But I have also ... Do you know that I’ve already had an album?
J. - Of course.
A. - So I certainly has other songs other than “Fairytale”, but of course I’m also preparing for the next year.
J. – Did something change after Eurovision? Is your popularity falling down?
A. - Well, it isn’t yet, but I know that soon it’ll be down, and ... this is good!
At the scene of the Minsk Palace of Sports Alexander proved that his talent isn’t limited to one good song. Artist performed his album to the Belarusian audience, which had already become platinum in Russia.
A. - The first album should be - for the masses, the second album - also for the masses, the third album should be ... although it is scary, to talk about this now, because now, I’m only dreaming about it ... The third album, I would like it to be ... mmm ... jazz.
Since ESC Alexander Rybak hasn't change - still smiles sincerely and still captivates the audience with his imperfect Russian language.
A. – It’s a little bit better, but I still need to look up words all the time ... well here, for example, I don’t remember! A new word ...
Sasha continues to discover Minsk anew. And this trip to Minsk touched the singer to tears.
A. - I saw the Gorky Park again a couple of hours ago, and I nearly cried because it has been so long since I have seen this ….view!
People of all ages are doomed to fall in love with Alexander Rybak: one can meet girls, women and even grandmothers at the singer’s concert, as well as his first teacher of piano who have bought the ticket, too.
Elena Soboleva (cultural music teacher):
- Of course, when I first saw him today ... I saw this difference ... back then, he was a little boy and now ... is a grown-up, handsome young man!
But the press is still obsessed with Alexander Rybak’s private life.
A. - I do dream to get married ... but actually - I don’t ... dream to get married!
A. – My dream girl? Hmmmm .... a little bit….. a little bit younger than me, a little bit lower, and a little bit prettier, and ... well, actually it doesn’t matter.
A. – I’m Alexander Rybak, especially for "Cultural people” (TV program).

Alex’s interview on radio Mayak in Moscow, 22.10.09
http://www.radiomayak.ru/tvp.html?id=206085
Part 1
Man: As we have promised you our guest today is Alexander Rybak. Hello, Sasha!
Alex: Hello!
Woman: It’s a pleasure for us that you have popped up on Mayak.
A: It’s a pleasure to me.
M: By the way, it’s a sort of symbol that has a direct relation to Norway. (Mayak is a lighthouse in English) There are a lot of lighthouses in Norway.
W: Don’t tap on a microphone!
A: Oi-oi-oi, sorry!
M: We’ve got a lot of questions in our forum, SMS-portal. I’ll remind you that you can ask Alexander questions in our forum, SMS-portal.
A: Aren’t there enough yet?
M: No, we need more.
W: We want forum to collapse.
M: Numbers to call -…..
M: Sasha, I’d like to ask you straightaway - has your life changed much since Eurovision and do you like what is going on with you or not?
A: First of all - I like everything, absolutely. And the life itself… I don’t even know. Everything around me has changed but feelings remain the same. It’s just I get happy now because of different things and I get sad because of different reasons than before. So, before I got sad because there was no cheese in a fridge and now I got sad because, for example, there was only a half of the public at one of the concerts.
M: Does it happen?
A: Well, just now it happened for the first time. In Sweden.
W: In Sweden? How come?
M: They do that on purpose.
A: And there in Sweden also my album… They gave it the best ratings in Norway and the worst in Sweden.
W: Envy is a bad feeling.
M: And for that we will make them listening to a commercial and ABBA for four times in a row.
After the commercial:
M: Our guest today is Alexander Rybak – a musician, singer and winner of the international music contest Eurovision-2009. In case if there is someone who does not know about it yet.
W: But there is no one like that here, Sasha.
M: Unlike in Sweden, Sasha, there is no one.
W: We’d like to concentrate on your hobby.
A: Yes, with pleasure.
M: There are computer games among the hobbies our editors notified us about.
A: Yes.
M: On the one hand, it is a good hobby. On the other hand, it is, in my opinion, very addictive.
A: It’s a great hobby. So what's wrong if it’s addictive?
M: What’s wrong? You stop writing good songs, talk to friends, go in for sports...
W: It causes addiction. It's like smoking.
A: No, why? Smoking is just bad and you get nothing good out of that. But I would say that the TV games are my best inspiration.
M: Well, what games do you play?
A: Different games.
W: The favorite one?
A: Well, games or movies, for example, a horror movie. If it’s a very-very scary movie and, maybe, I really like one character, and then I think: oh, just about him I want to write.
W: And an inspiration comes, right? It’s interesting.
A: Yes- yes-yes. So, I have an inspiration from very bizarre things.
W: Are there always horror movies or other movies too?
A: No, I just said that it cold be from anything. But very often it’s from the nature.
W: You mean from mountains, sea?
A: Yes. There is the most beautiful nature in Norway – mountains, fjords.
W: Do you like the most the Northern or the Southern nature?
A: And the Southern is like?...
M: Greece, for example, cypresses.
A: The very Southern, right? Well, it’s different very much from the normal world, so….
M: Well, for us - northern people, of course! Give us the snow!
A: By the way, I really like snow and I like winter very much. And the Norwegians are just a very optimistic people. But although we do skiing very good and, in general, are sportsmen…
M: As far as I know, everybody does skiing and skating there.
A: Yes-yes-yes. But actually nobody likes that feeling of winter; everybody wants summer to come sooner.
M: So, they do skiing and think that summer should come sooner.
A: Yes. Because they do not understand nostalgia in the way we love it in Russia, in Belarus, such a melancholy, and the snow, the snowfall even helps a lot.
M: I don’t know about melancholy but in the song you won Eurovision with… although there are some sad notes in it, but it’s quite optimistic after all.
A: Well, yeah. I wanted to show people that I’m a little bit crazy. (laugh) Because although I kind of in love with the girl and have loved her for six years by now without any results, I am happy anyway.
M: Yes, only a crazy man can do this.
W: What was the inspiration for that song?
A: The girl, of course. And again - the nature of Norway. Last year I was traveling through the mountains, and there on the highest mountain I took out the violin and began to play a melody. It liked the melody very much, so I began to write text to it. And the song was born.
W: Some of my acquaintances – and I’m agree with them - we saw you in this song (Fairytale) as a character from the movie “Titanic”.
A: Oi-oi-oi.
M: DiCaprio?
W: Not personally DiCaprio, but his character there. What was his name?
M: I don’t remember his name. Why do you look at me?
A: Why? Like, I have drowned?
W: It’s just a similarity… the way you performed on ESC, your entire performance, that violin, the way you were dancing, your smile.
A; Wow, I have never heard something like that before. It’s very pleasant.
W: Really? Then my friends are crazy too.
A: I’ll watch “Titanic” right after I get home.
M: We must ask you the questions from the forum or your fans won’t understand us.
M: Alena Dejavju from the forum “Rybak’s fans” writes: “Does Shasha choose his clothes by himself or he has a specially trained person to do this?”
A: A specially trained person?
M: It’s just a phrase of speech – here it means a stylist.
A: Yes, I have a stylist. But I think that I absolutely don’t need it. Because the most important is that the clothes to be clean and not to spoil a show on TV. And it’s completely does not matter to me whether it’s an expensive brand or not.
M: Do you have to reckon with what they recommend you to put on? When they say – no, Sasha, it’s better to put on THIS.
A: Well, if they have a good argument.
M: So, it’s possible to convince you?
A: A-ha. But mostly it’s me who convinces them.
W: Did it happen that they brought to you some clothes that you didn’t like and that didn’t suit you and you said – no, never.
A: Of course. In 90% of cases.
W: 90%? Maybe you should change the stylist then?
Laugh
W: Helen asks: “Is it true that your girlfriend must necessarily have blue eyes?”
A: But I don’t have a girlfriend. …Ah! I got it!
M: In general.
A: I got it, I got it.
W: He said he has no girlfriend! (with exaggeratedly excited voice)
Laugh
A: No. They can be green or yellow (laughs)
W: So, she will be black-skinned with yellow eyes. Zzzzzoom…
W: So, what else questions do we have here?
M: Anton Markin asks: “Do you read Russian forum on your page on the Internet?”
A: Emmm…
M: Because people write there and they don’t know whether you read it or not.
A: I read forum sometimes. On Facebook, right?
M: Yes, on Facebook.
A: Sometimes I send by myself different SMS, MMS to Facebook from my tour. But I almost never have time to check it out later and to answer different… how to say this… comments.
A: And to read Russian forum is very difficult to me. Because I very-very bad… Well, you can hear that...
M: No, you speak great.
A: Well, I speak OK but I read very-very bad.
W: How old were you when your parents brought you to Norway?
A: I was five. So, I’m very grateful that Russian people accepted me, so I try to learn reading Russian again but for now it’s just such small stories about Winnie the Pooh and so on.
W: It’s OK, soon you’ll make it to “War and Peace”
M: Irina writes that they wait so much for your concert in Berlin on the 2nd of December. We have listeners even in Berlin and in Finland…
A: It’s very pleasant. Well, she has to wait for a little more, then. I’ll come. (laughs)
W: In what year on the 2nd of December?
M: Will it be this year?
A: Yes-yes-yes.
W: In Berlin?
A: Yes. So far we have been… In the summer we gave many concerts in Norway. Because it’s my country actually. We had about 40 concerts.
W: That many?!
A: Yes. We played for almost 200 000 people in this summer. And then we have started our new tour with new songs. We started in Ukraine, it was very interesting. Then there were concerts in Minsk and in Latvia, Lithuania. And now we are in Sweden.
W: Somebody wrote about Kiev here.
M: Yes, they wrote that you performed in Kiev and they thanked you very much for that concert.
A: Thank you.
M: Valeria Lexina writes: What was the bravest act in your life besides performing in Eurovision?
A: When I told the girl that I still love her.
W: That was a brave act?
A: I think that was the bravest act.
M: And was a performing in Eurovision a brave act?
A: Oh, no. It was a smart act.
Laugh
M: Great. “Sasha, are you still together with the girl you dedicated your song to?” Well, I think that everybody knows now that you are not.
A: Well, everybody knows that I’m not.
W: Alena asks: “What do you do with that heap of stuffed toys and other presents you get at concerts? And what gift did you remember the most?”
A: Well, the most valuable to me are those gifts when I feel that there was a lot of time spent on them. Like, for example, the huge-huge albums or books.
M: Hand-made, right?
A: Yes. With pictures, with stories Especially from Facebook… a group of girls from all over Europe… they gave me very-very interesting book. Of course, it’s interesting to me because it’s about me (laughs). That is what I like very-very much. And all those toys - I try to collect them all and I think I’ll give them away to a children hospital at the end of the year. So, I try to bring in all those toys home with me. But it’s difficult, of course. Especially it’s a pity that the country where they give me presents the most is the one that is far the most from Norway.
M: What country is it?
A: Here, of course, in Russia. And in Belarus and Ukraine too. But it’s hard to take it on a plane when they give me just huge bags…
M: With toys.
A: So, I try to eat up all the chocolate while I’m still in Russia.
Laugh
M: One more question: “What do you do before you go out on stage? How do you get yourself prepared for a performance? Are there any rituals you do?”
A: You know what, it’s always a shame when they ask me this question because I don’t prepare myself at all. I’ve been preparing myself for so long, for 15-16 years till now I’ve been practicing for 2-3 hours a day. And now I suddenly play and sing very simple pieces. Because now it’s more of a pop-music, so it’s more important to tell a story. And I don’t have any rituals too actually. We just do a high-five all together. How it will be in Russian?
M: High-five? I don’t know how it will be in Russian.
W: A clap?
M: Ah! A clap! Now we have figured it out.
W: “I’d like to get to your concert. Are you going to perform in Kazan?”- Kamilya asks. Kazan is in Russia, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan.
A: If there will be a lot of public then with pleasure.
W: Bring up the public, Kamilya, and you’ll get a concert.
A: And if not – then you can come to other cities at least. For example, in Saint-Petersburg, in Moscow.
M: They ask how big will be your tour over Russia and if there will be any tour at all?
A: To be honest, I don’t remember every city now, but there will be four cities.
W: (to the audience) We’ll ask our manager which cities are they and tell you later.
M: One more question, a personal question: “Alex, if a girl will invite you for a date, will you accept an invitation?” I.e. if it’s not you invite a girl but a girl invites you. A girl comes up to you and says: “Sasha, come for a date to a cinema.”
A: If I have time and will…
Laugh
M: You need to switch places here – if you have a will then you have time.
A: Ah, well, to be honest, yes.
W: They also ask you about “star fever”. Is this thing familiar to you?
A: Well, yes. I get a “star fever” every day. I get sick with it every day but then I get cured over every night.
W: You are so funny.
M: Today our guest is Alexander Rybak. Please, send us your questions. We’ll try to ask as much of them as we can.
W: Now we are going to listen to one more song. What is its name – Roll with the wind?
A: Yes.
W: Is this a new song?
A: Well, not that new but maybe for Russian public it’s a new one, I like it very much.
Part 2:
M: I remind you that our guest today is Alexander Rybak. You can send your questions to… (numbers)
M: Sasha, there are two of Eurovision contests. There is Eurovision of children’s songs , when children sing, and for grown-ups.
A: For elders. (laughs)
M: For elders. Like you, for example. By the way, that contest of children’s songs will be aired by the TV channel “Russia”, our colleges, who are working at the same building we are in now. And the big contest that will be in May of the next year in Norway will be aired by the same TV channel.
A: And do you know who won the last year?
M: Last year? I don’t know.
A: Norway, of course.
M: No! No way!
Laugh
W: They say there was a singer who speaks Russian, Norwegian.
A: Ah! No-no-no, I’m talking about the contest for youngsters.
M: Ah! I thought you were joking.
A: No, I never make jokes.
W: Yes, you are very serious.
A: For youngsters. And then it was Norway too. You see how proud we are. (laughs)
M: Yes.
W: Were they happy about your victory in your country?
A: Very happy, of course. But I realized it straight away that they love me now but in a couple of months… Especially when they have known that we have to spend all the money on Eurovision so there is no money left for the football championship. The World championship.
W: That’s serious.
A: Yes. So, on the contrary, they all hate me now in Norway. (laugh).
W: No, I don’t think so.
A: That’s why I came here. For good. (laughs)
M: We have enough of money for both Eurovision and the Championship.
A: There you are.
M: What advice would you give to children who perform there?
A: Children don’t need any advices. Children know better than anyone what to do. I would rather give an advice to parents to not force their youngsters too much because the most important is… This is actually a game, you need to enjoy it. There is nothing so serious about it. If there is a talent, if the song is beautiful, then let them vote, go in for this. But you don’t have to give over all your life to Eurovision. So, parents have to be cautious to not too much…
M: Was it for you before Eurovision like “I have to win or die”? Like “I must necessarily win”?
A: I did not want to die, in any case.
M: It’s just a phrase of speech.
A: I just knew that I was the one of the favorites.
M: You knew from the beginning?
A: Yes, because the bookmakers put me as a favorite straightaway. So, it was very hard and took a lot of nerves because they would not let me get back to Norway if I would not win.
Laugh
M: Bookmakers fails sometimes. They all made bets on Barcelona…
W: We are talking about football now.
M: But Rubin from Kazan won.
A: But it’s a little bit different from football. There everything is accidental.
M: First of all, they don’t sing.
A: Yes, exactly.
W: By the way, there is a question about self-confidence. “Is it true that there is a song “Da ya think I’m sexy” in your new program?”
A: Oi-oi-oi! Yes, but it’s a surprise; you should not talk about it.
W: Oh! What have I done! That’s it! The question is taken off.
M: Dasha asks: “Alexander, would you like to sing a song in Russian?” Apparently, Dasha is not in the know that you already have such songs.
A: Well, first of all, I have now… how it’s called in Russian - re-release?
W: Yes, on the 23d the album will be re-released.
A: There will be two new songs in Russian, even three. So, if people have not bought my first album then it’s better to wait a little and to buy it with Russian songs. And at my concerts I actually sing many of classics, well, not many – two songs. (laughs)
W: That’s many.
M: Well, that’s more than one.
A: But they are old ones. I like old songs very much, because I actually don’t know new ones because I left when I was five. So, parents just have shown to me.
W: Do you listen to the Russian music now?
A: Old one. Well, not very old, for example, Komarovo, I like it very much. So, I perform it at concerts. And the ballad “I asked the ash-tree”
W: Beautiful song.
A: Very beautiful. It’s my favorite.
M: It’s from a very popular movie here in Russia. By the way they ask you what music do you listen to.
A: I just told.
W: No, in general.
A: Ah, in general. In general, I like beautiful and simple melodies. This is the most important to me, the genre is not important to me at all.
W: And which musicians?
A: I like Sting very much. He never disappointed me yet. Michel Jackson had always only genial songs as well. Andrea Bocelli always chooses the most beautiful songs as well. And also I like many artists but usually only two-three songs of every artist. It’s very rare that I buy the whole album of an artist or a band. So, I like Schweine of Glukoza very much, for example, but it does not mean that I like all songs. By the way, is it a band or is it just a girl?
W: It’s a girl.
M: At first it was a cartoon-clips, so nobody knew what she looks like. But it’s a female-singer.
A: But now they know how she looks like?
M: Yes, of course.
A: But did people like it?
M: How she looks?
A: Yes.
M: Yes.
A: It’s very good.
W: She is very similar with the one from the cartoon.
M: It turned out that she is very funny and interesting girl.
A: I just adore a couple of her songs.
M: Nadezhda, our listener from Ufa, who is 17, knows that you play in the movie Yohan. She asks -was it released already?
A: It’s a family movie. No, they delay the release date for the later and later all the time.
W: Does Morten Harket play there?
A: Yes, Morten Harket plays my dad. But to be honest I have a small role.
W: Anyway it’s interesting experience.
A: Well, yes, it’s more an experience than…
M: Don’t you have a wish to continue the actor career?
A: I’d love to with pleasure. You know what, I’d like to make a musical, film-musical. My own.
W: Do that. We’ll be waiting for it. Giya and me will be the first ones to attend it.
W: I have to tell about five cities Alexander will perform in. Rostov, Samara, Moscow, Ekaterinburg and Saint-Petersburg. And we have phone-calls.
A: Great. Finally.
M: Yes, let’s give them the opportunity.
W: Hello, Evgeniy.
Evgeniy: Hello to everybody. May ask Alexander a question?
A: Of course, you may.
Evgeniy: I’ve heard that after Eurovision there were some troubles with you instrument, like it was stolen or something. Can you tell something about it, how did the story end.
A: And what do you think – did it really happen or not?
Evgeniy: But I’m asking you. Because I’m a detective and maybe I could help you somehow.
A: It’s very pleasant. Thank you so much for your help. But I don’t need help in this case because I have the violin and nothing like this has happened. But the next time if something happens I’ll give you a call, ok?
Laugh
W: Evgeniy, we’ve written down you number just in case. And I wonder, when the strings were breaking up on the violin – did you do this on purpose?
A: It was not the strings it was a hair on the bow.
W: And it was made on purpose or not?
A: The hair is made on purpose, but I just don’t tear it up on purpose.
W: Because it was very tickling for all the viewers.
A: It’s great.
W: Oleg calls us and wants to ask a question.
M: Hello, Oleg.
Oleg: Hello to everybody. Alexander, I’m your new fan, and I was in Norway last year in the autumn. Blah-blah. I’ve heard there music of Grieg, A-Ha, Secret garden and I hope that you’ll give to the world the same interesting and beautiful melodies.
A: Thank you very much.
Oleg: I’d like to ask you do you use a traditional Norwegian music in your songs?
A: Yes, in some of them. But to be honest, the genre is not important so much to me. The most important is a beautiful melody.
Oleg: But I can hear it clearly.
A: Well, yes. I’d like to show Russian culture and Norwegian culture. Because my disk is all over Europe now. So, it’s very pleasant that you notice the Norwegian spirit in it.
W: Polina asks: “Can you say that you are completely happy now or is there something missing?”
A: I don’t even know what I can be missing now.
W: So, you are happy, right?
A: Yes. The only thing that I’m waiting for is when I’ll get a little bit older to not go around Europe anymore. I don’t say that I don’t like it, on the contrary, I like it very much, I enjoy this life very much.
W: But it’s exhausting.
A: Well, a little bit. But I have energy now. But in 3-4 years I’d like to work at home. To be a locksmith. (laughs)
W: Locksmith? And to write a musical at the same time as you have promised to the people.
M: Alexander Rybak is in our studio, we’ll be back after music and a commercial.
M: Dasha Shahtarova has written on the forum: “Sasha, have you watched the video from the group from vkontakte.com that they’ve given over to you?”
A: Of course, Dasha, I watched and liked it very much. And they always give me a lot of letters and such videos and I can honestly say that I watch everything and try to answer to everything and if I don’t answer it’s because…
M: There is not enough of time.
A: There is always enough of time. But maybe I just got lost or, maybe, lost a letter and then I get very sad because I like it but I can not find it again in the heap.
W: Sasha, judging by the questions that have been here today – they are the same all the time. Are you single, what kind of girl do you like, when are you going to have kids and so on and so on.
A: So, you can make it up by yourself.
W: Don’t you want to say – just leave me alone or not?
A: No. But they all will leave me alone right away as soon as I get a girlfriend.
Laugh
W: No, don’t count on it. Then there will be another war.
M: Not all, I can tell you by my own rich experience. Not everybody will leave you alone.
A: Well, let’s hope for that.
M: We have very little time left just to take one more call. There were men all the time who asked questions, lets give the opportunity to a woman. Lena is calling. Hello, Lena.
Lena: Good afternoon. I’d like to ask Alexander, does he have a feature of a character that he would like to correct somehow, that he does not like.
A: About myself?
Lena: Yes. And I also would like to say thank you from your fans from Facebook, they are listening to you live now. Those girls who were at your concert in Oslo thank you very much for that you liked their present – the book.
A: Of course, I liked it, of course.
Lena: And they hope that you will read it.
A: Well, I have read a half of it.
W: Aaah! Cool.
A: Well, I have many of not very good sides. I think a lot about result, so sometimes I need to insult people to get a good result.
M: Musicians and…?
A: Musicians or producers.
M: You fight with them?
A: Well, a little bit, yes. But you always have to fight at the backstage to not be angry when there is a public in there.
M: Are you a quick-tempered person?
A: Not quite. For example, when I can not sleep I often punch a wall with a fist.
M: It’s good that it’s not a producer.
A: Yes, exactly. And especially when there is a concert and something does not go the way it should then it’s always necessary not to show it to the public. So I always try to… The best, of course, is not to fight at all, but I have to. And then it’s at the backstage.
M: I see. As a matter of fact, intolerance of a bad work and of unprofessional people is a good feature too.
M: Thank you very much, Sasha, that you came to us.
A: Thank you. It’s very easy to talk to you.
M: Thank you and good luck in your career.
A: Thank you. The questions were very good, both from you and from the listeners.
M: We have very good listeners. We hope that in May of a future year we will see you in Eurovision 2010 that will be aired by the channel “Russia”.
W: Are you going to open it with your song?
A: Maybe yes.
W: I think rather so.
A: Or finish it.
M: It’s a tradition.
A: Well, yes.
M: And we hope that Norway will bring luck to the Russian performers.
A: Thank you very much.
W: Thank you so much for coming. Good luck.
A: Have a nice evening.
Alex’s interview on radio Mayak in Moscow, 22.10.09
http://www.radiomayak.ru/tvp.html?id=206085
Part 1
Man: As we have promised you our guest today is Alexander Rybak. Hello, Sasha!
Alex: Hello!
Woman: It’s a pleasure for us that you have popped up on Mayak.
A: It’s a pleasure to me.
M: By the way, it’s a sort of symbol that has a direct relation to Norway. (Mayak is a lighthouse in English) There are a lot of lighthouses in Norway.
W: Don’t tap on a microphone!
A: Oi-oi-oi, sorry!
M: We’ve got a lot of questions in our forum, SMS-portal. I’ll remind you that you can ask Alexander questions in our forum, SMS-portal.
A: Aren’t there enough yet?
M: No, we need more.
W: We want forum to collapse.
M: Numbers to call -…..
M: Sasha, I’d like to ask you straightaway - has your life changed much since Eurovision and do you like what is going on with you or not?
A: First of all - I like everything, absolutely. And the life itself… I don’t even know. Everything around me has changed but feelings remain the same. It’s just I get happy now because of different things and I get sad because of different reasons than before. So, before I got sad because there was no cheese in a fridge and now I got sad because, for example, there was only a half of the public at one of the concerts.
M: Does it happen?
A: Well, just now it happened for the first time. In Sweden.
W: In Sweden? How come?
M: They do that on purpose.
A: And there in Sweden also my album… They gave it the best ratings in Norway and the worst in Sweden.
W: Envy is a bad feeling.
M: And for that we will make them listening to a commercial and ABBA for four times in a row.
After the commercial:
M: Our guest today is Alexander Rybak – a musician, singer and winner of the international music contest Eurovision-2009. In case if there is someone who does not know about it yet.
W: But there is no one like that here, Sasha.
M: Unlike in Sweden, Sasha, there is no one.
W: We’d like to concentrate on your hobby.
A: Yes, with pleasure.
M: There are computer games among the hobbies our editors notified us about.
A: Yes.
M: On the one hand, it is a good hobby. On the other hand, it is, in my opinion, very addictive.
A: It’s a great hobby. So what's wrong if it’s addictive?
M: What’s wrong? You stop writing good songs, talk to friends, go in for sports...
W: It causes addiction. It's like smoking.
A: No, why? Smoking is just bad and you get nothing good out of that. But I would say that the TV games are my best inspiration.
M: Well, what games do you play?
A: Different games.
W: The favorite one?
A: Well, games or movies, for example, a horror movie. If it’s a very-very scary movie and, maybe, I really like one character, and then I think: oh, just about him I want to write.
W: And an inspiration comes, right? It’s interesting.
A: Yes- yes-yes. So, I have an inspiration from very bizarre things.
W: Are there always horror movies or other movies too?
A: No, I just said that it cold be from anything. But very often it’s from the nature.
W: You mean from mountains, sea?
A: Yes. There is the most beautiful nature in Norway – mountains, fjords.
W: Do you like the most the Northern or the Southern nature?
A: And the Southern is like?...
M: Greece, for example, cypresses.
A: The very Southern, right? Well, it’s different very much from the normal world, so….
M: Well, for us - northern people, of course! Give us the snow!
A: By the way, I really like snow and I like winter very much. And the Norwegians are just a very optimistic people. But although we do skiing very good and, in general, are sportsmen…
M: As far as I know, everybody does skiing and skating there.
A: Yes-yes-yes. But actually nobody likes that feeling of winter; everybody wants summer to come sooner.
M: So, they do skiing and think that summer should come sooner.
A: Yes. Because they do not understand nostalgia in the way we love it in Russia, in Belarus, such a melancholy, and the snow, the snowfall even helps a lot.
M: I don’t know about melancholy but in the song you won Eurovision with… although there are some sad notes in it, but it’s quite optimistic after all.
A: Well, yeah. I wanted to show people that I’m a little bit crazy. (laugh) Because although I kind of in love with the girl and have loved her for six years by now without any results, I am happy anyway.
M: Yes, only a crazy man can do this.
W: What was the inspiration for that song?
A: The girl, of course. And again - the nature of Norway. Last year I was traveling through the mountains, and there on the highest mountain I took out the violin and began to play a melody. It liked the melody very much, so I began to write text to it. And the song was born.
W: Some of my acquaintances – and I’m agree with them - we saw you in this song (Fairytale) as a character from the movie “Titanic”.
A: Oi-oi-oi.
M: DiCaprio?
W: Not personally DiCaprio, but his character there. What was his name?
M: I don’t remember his name. Why do you look at me?
A: Why? Like, I have drowned?
W: It’s just a similarity… the way you performed on ESC, your entire performance, that violin, the way you were dancing, your smile.
A; Wow, I have never heard something like that before. It’s very pleasant.
W: Really? Then my friends are crazy too.
A: I’ll watch “Titanic” right after I get home.
M: We must ask you the questions from the forum or your fans won’t understand us.
M: Alena Dejavju from the forum “Rybak’s fans” writes: “Does Shasha choose his clothes by himself or he has a specially trained person to do this?”
A: A specially trained person?
M: It’s just a phrase of speech – here it means a stylist.
A: Yes, I have a stylist. But I think that I absolutely don’t need it. Because the most important is that the clothes to be clean and not to spoil a show on TV. And it’s completely does not matter to me whether it’s an expensive brand or not.
M: Do you have to reckon with what they recommend you to put on? When they say – no, Sasha, it’s better to put on THIS.
A: Well, if they have a good argument.
M: So, it’s possible to convince you?
A: A-ha. But mostly it’s me who convinces them.
W: Did it happen that they brought to you some clothes that you didn’t like and that didn’t suit you and you said – no, never.
A: Of course. In 90% of cases.
W: 90%? Maybe you should change the stylist then?
Laugh
W: Helen asks: “Is it true that your girlfriend must necessarily have blue eyes?”
A: But I don’t have a girlfriend. …Ah! I got it!
M: In general.
A: I got it, I got it.
W: He said he has no girlfriend! (with exaggeratedly excited voice)
Laugh
A: No. They can be green or yellow (laughs)
W: So, she will be black-skinned with yellow eyes. Zzzzzoom…
W: So, what else questions do we have here?
M: Anton Markin asks: “Do you read Russian forum on your page on the Internet?”
A: Emmm…
M: Because people write there and they don’t know whether you read it or not.
A: I read forum sometimes. On Facebook, right?
M: Yes, on Facebook.
A: Sometimes I send by myself different SMS, MMS to Facebook from my tour. But I almost never have time to check it out later and to answer different… how to say this… comments.
A: And to read Russian forum is very difficult to me. Because I very-very bad… Well, you can hear that...
M: No, you speak great.
A: Well, I speak OK but I read very-very bad.
W: How old were you when your parents brought you to Norway?
A: I was five. So, I’m very grateful that Russian people accepted me, so I try to learn reading Russian again but for now it’s just such small stories about Winnie the Pooh and so on.
W: It’s OK, soon you’ll make it to “War and Peace”
M: Irina writes that they wait so much for your concert in Berlin on the 2nd of December. We have listeners even in Berlin and in Finland…
A: It’s very pleasant. Well, she has to wait for a little more, then. I’ll come. (laughs)
W: In what year on the 2nd of December?
M: Will it be this year?
A: Yes-yes-yes.
W: In Berlin?
A: Yes. So far we have been… In the summer we gave many concerts in Norway. Because it’s my country actually. We had about 40 concerts.
W: That many?!
A: Yes. We played for almost 200 000 people in this summer. And then we have started our new tour with new songs. We started in Ukraine, it was very interesting. Then there were concerts in Minsk and in Latvia, Lithuania. And now we are in Sweden.
W: Somebody wrote about Kiev here.
M: Yes, they wrote that you performed in Kiev and they thanked you very much for that concert.
A: Thank you.
M: Valeria Lexina writes: What was the bravest act in your life besides performing in Eurovision?
A: When I told the girl that I still love her.
W: That was a brave act?
A: I think that was the bravest act.
M: And was a performing in Eurovision a brave act?
A: Oh, no. It was a smart act.
Laugh
M: Great. “Sasha, are you still together with the girl you dedicated your song to?” Well, I think that everybody knows now that you are not.
A: Well, everybody knows that I’m not.
W: Alena asks: “What do you do with that heap of stuffed toys and other presents you get at concerts? And what gift did you remember the most?”
A: Well, the most valuable to me are those gifts when I feel that there was a lot of time spent on them. Like, for example, the huge-huge albums or books.
M: Hand-made, right?
A: Yes. With pictures, with stories Especially from Facebook… a group of girls from all over Europe… they gave me very-very interesting book. Of course, it’s interesting to me because it’s about me (laughs). That is what I like very-very much. And all those toys - I try to collect them all and I think I’ll give them away to a children hospital at the end of the year. So, I try to bring in all those toys home with me. But it’s difficult, of course. Especially it’s a pity that the country where they give me presents the most is the one that is far the most from Norway.
M: What country is it?
A: Here, of course, in Russia. And in Belarus and Ukraine too. But it’s hard to take it on a plane when they give me just huge bags…
M: With toys.
A: So, I try to eat up all the chocolate while I’m still in Russia.
Laugh
M: One more question: “What do you do before you go out on stage? How do you get yourself prepared for a performance? Are there any rituals you do?”
A: You know what, it’s always a shame when they ask me this question because I don’t prepare myself at all. I’ve been preparing myself for so long, for 15-16 years till now I’ve been practicing for 2-3 hours a day. And now I suddenly play and sing very simple pieces. Because now it’s more of a pop-music, so it’s more important to tell a story. And I don’t have any rituals too actually. We just do a high-five all together. How it will be in Russian?
M: High-five? I don’t know how it will be in Russian.
W: A clap?
M: Ah! A clap! Now we have figured it out.
W: “I’d like to get to your concert. Are you going to perform in Kazan?”- Kamilya asks. Kazan is in Russia, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan.
A: If there will be a lot of public then with pleasure.
W: Bring up the public, Kamilya, and you’ll get a concert.
A: And if not – then you can come to other cities at least. For example, in Saint-Petersburg, in Moscow.
M: They ask how big will be your tour over Russia and if there will be any tour at all?
A: To be honest, I don’t remember every city now, but there will be four cities.
W: (to the audience) We’ll ask our manager which cities are they and tell you later.
M: One more question, a personal question: “Alex, if a girl will invite you for a date, will you accept an invitation?” I.e. if it’s not you invite a girl but a girl invites you. A girl comes up to you and says: “Sasha, come for a date to a cinema.”
A: If I have time and will…
Laugh
M: You need to switch places here – if you have a will then you have time.
A: Ah, well, to be honest, yes.
W: They also ask you about “star fever”. Is this thing familiar to you?
A: Well, yes. I get a “star fever” every day. I get sick with it every day but then I get cured over every night.
W: You are so funny.
M: Today our guest is Alexander Rybak. Please, send us your questions. We’ll try to ask as much of them as we can.
W: Now we are going to listen to one more song. What is its name – Roll with the wind?
A: Yes.
W: Is this a new song?
A: Well, not that new but maybe for Russian public it’s a new one, I like it very much.
Part 2:
M: I remind you that our guest today is Alexander Rybak. You can send your questions to… (numbers)
M: Sasha, there are two of Eurovision contests. There is Eurovision of children’s songs , when children sing, and for grown-ups.
A: For elders. (laughs)
M: For elders. Like you, for example. By the way, that contest of children’s songs will be aired by the TV channel “Russia”, our colleges, who are working at the same building we are in now. And the big contest that will be in May of the next year in Norway will be aired by the same TV channel.
A: And do you know who won the last year?
M: Last year? I don’t know.
A: Norway, of course.
M: No! No way!
Laugh
W: They say there was a singer who speaks Russian, Norwegian.
A: Ah! No-no-no, I’m talking about the contest for youngsters.
M: Ah! I thought you were joking.
A: No, I never make jokes.
W: Yes, you are very serious.
A: For youngsters. And then it was Norway too. You see how proud we are. (laughs)
M: Yes.
W: Were they happy about your victory in your country?
A: Very happy, of course. But I realized it straight away that they love me now but in a couple of months… Especially when they have known that we have to spend all the money on Eurovision so there is no money left for the football championship. The World championship.
W: That’s serious.
A: Yes. So, on the contrary, they all hate me now in Norway. (laugh).
W: No, I don’t think so.
A: That’s why I came here. For good. (laughs)
M: We have enough of money for both Eurovision and the Championship.
A: There you are.
M: What advice would you give to children who perform there?
A: Children don’t need any advices. Children know better than anyone what to do. I would rather give an advice to parents to not force their youngsters too much because the most important is… This is actually a game, you need to enjoy it. There is nothing so serious about it. If there is a talent, if the song is beautiful, then let them vote, go in for this. But you don’t have to give over all your life to Eurovision. So, parents have to be cautious to not too much…
M: Was it for you before Eurovision like “I have to win or die”? Like “I must necessarily win”?
A: I did not want to die, in any case.
M: It’s just a phrase of speech.
A: I just knew that I was the one of the favorites.
M: You knew from the beginning?
A: Yes, because the bookmakers put me as a favorite straightaway. So, it was very hard and took a lot of nerves because they would not let me get back to Norway if I would not win.
Laugh
M: Bookmakers fails sometimes. They all made bets on Barcelona…
W: We are talking about football now.
M: But Rubin from Kazan won.
A: But it’s a little bit different from football. There everything is accidental.
M: First of all, they don’t sing.
A: Yes, exactly.
W: By the way, there is a question about self-confidence. “Is it true that there is a song “Da ya think I’m sexy” in your new program?”
A: Oi-oi-oi! Yes, but it’s a surprise; you should not talk about it.
W: Oh! What have I done! That’s it! The question is taken off.
M: Dasha asks: “Alexander, would you like to sing a song in Russian?” Apparently, Dasha is not in the know that you already have such songs.
A: Well, first of all, I have now… how it’s called in Russian - re-release?
W: Yes, on the 23d the album will be re-released.
A: There will be two new songs in Russian, even three. So, if people have not bought my first album then it’s better to wait a little and to buy it with Russian songs. And at my concerts I actually sing many of classics, well, not many – two songs. (laughs)
W: That’s many.
M: Well, that’s more than one.
A: But they are old ones. I like old songs very much, because I actually don’t know new ones because I left when I was five. So, parents just have shown to me.
W: Do you listen to the Russian music now?
A: Old one. Well, not very old, for example, Komarovo, I like it very much. So, I perform it at concerts. And the ballad “I asked the ash-tree”
W: Beautiful song.
A: Very beautiful. It’s my favorite.
M: It’s from a very popular movie here in Russia. By the way they ask you what music do you listen to.
A: I just told.
W: No, in general.
A: Ah, in general. In general, I like beautiful and simple melodies. This is the most important to me, the genre is not important to me at all.
W: And which musicians?
A: I like Sting very much. He never disappointed me yet. Michel Jackson had always only genial songs as well. Andrea Bocelli always chooses the most beautiful songs as well. And also I like many artists but usually only two-three songs of every artist. It’s very rare that I buy the whole album of an artist or a band. So, I like Schweine of Glukoza very much, for example, but it does not mean that I like all songs. By the way, is it a band or is it just a girl?
W: It’s a girl.
M: At first it was a cartoon-clips, so nobody knew what she looks like. But it’s a female-singer.
A: But now they know how she looks like?
M: Yes, of course.
A: But did people like it?
M: How she looks?
A: Yes.
M: Yes.
A: It’s very good.
W: She is very similar with the one from the cartoon.
M: It turned out that she is very funny and interesting girl.
A: I just adore a couple of her songs.
M: Nadezhda, our listener from Ufa, who is 17, knows that you play in the movie Yohan. She asks -was it released already?
A: It’s a family movie. No, they delay the release date for the later and later all the time.
W: Does Morten Harket play there?
A: Yes, Morten Harket plays my dad. But to be honest I have a small role.
W: Anyway it’s interesting experience.
A: Well, yes, it’s more an experience than…
M: Don’t you have a wish to continue the actor career?
A: I’d love to with pleasure. You know what, I’d like to make a musical, film-musical. My own.
W: Do that. We’ll be waiting for it. Giya and me will be the first ones to attend it.
W: I have to tell about five cities Alexander will perform in. Rostov, Samara, Moscow, Ekaterinburg and Saint-Petersburg. And we have phone-calls.
A: Great. Finally.
M: Yes, let’s give them the opportunity.
W: Hello, Evgeniy.
Evgeniy: Hello to everybody. May ask Alexander a question?
A: Of course, you may.
Evgeniy: I’ve heard that after Eurovision there were some troubles with you instrument, like it was stolen or something. Can you tell something about it, how did the story end.
A: And what do you think – did it really happen or not?
Evgeniy: But I’m asking you. Because I’m a detective and maybe I could help you somehow.
A: It’s very pleasant. Thank you so much for your help. But I don’t need help in this case because I have the violin and nothing like this has happened. But the next time if something happens I’ll give you a call, ok?
Laugh
W: Evgeniy, we’ve written down you number just in case. And I wonder, when the strings were breaking up on the violin – did you do this on purpose?
A: It was not the strings it was a hair on the bow.
W: And it was made on purpose or not?
A: The hair is made on purpose, but I just don’t tear it up on purpose.
W: Because it was very tickling for all the viewers.
A: It’s great.
W: Oleg calls us and wants to ask a question.
M: Hello, Oleg.
Oleg: Hello to everybody. Alexander, I’m your new fan, and I was in Norway last year in the autumn. Blah-blah. I’ve heard there music of Grieg, A-Ha, Secret garden and I hope that you’ll give to the world the same interesting and beautiful melodies.
A: Thank you very much.
Oleg: I’d like to ask you do you use a traditional Norwegian music in your songs?
A: Yes, in some of them. But to be honest, the genre is not important so much to me. The most important is a beautiful melody.
Oleg: But I can hear it clearly.
A: Well, yes. I’d like to show Russian culture and Norwegian culture. Because my disk is all over Europe now. So, it’s very pleasant that you notice the Norwegian spirit in it.
W: Polina asks: “Can you say that you are completely happy now or is there something missing?”
A: I don’t even know what I can be missing now.
W: So, you are happy, right?
A: Yes. The only thing that I’m waiting for is when I’ll get a little bit older to not go around Europe anymore. I don’t say that I don’t like it, on the contrary, I like it very much, I enjoy this life very much.
W: But it’s exhausting.
A: Well, a little bit. But I have energy now. But in 3-4 years I’d like to work at home. To be a locksmith. (laughs)
W: Locksmith? And to write a musical at the same time as you have promised to the people.
M: Alexander Rybak is in our studio, we’ll be back after music and a commercial.
M: Dasha Shahtarova has written on the forum: “Sasha, have you watched the video from the group from vkontakte.com that they’ve given over to you?”
A: Of course, Dasha, I watched and liked it very much. And they always give me a lot of letters and such videos and I can honestly say that I watch everything and try to answer to everything and if I don’t answer it’s because…
M: There is not enough of time.
A: There is always enough of time. But maybe I just got lost or, maybe, lost a letter and then I get very sad because I like it but I can not find it again in the heap.
W: Sasha, judging by the questions that have been here today – they are the same all the time. Are you single, what kind of girl do you like, when are you going to have kids and so on and so on.
A: So, you can make it up by yourself.
W: Don’t you want to say – just leave me alone or not?
A: No. But they all will leave me alone right away as soon as I get a girlfriend.
Laugh
W: No, don’t count on it. Then there will be another war.
M: Not all, I can tell you by my own rich experience. Not everybody will leave you alone.
A: Well, let’s hope for that.
M: We have very little time left just to take one more call. There were men all the time who asked questions, lets give the opportunity to a woman. Lena is calling. Hello, Lena.
Lena: Good afternoon. I’d like to ask Alexander, does he have a feature of a character that he would like to correct somehow, that he does not like.
A: About myself?
Lena: Yes. And I also would like to say thank you from your fans from Facebook, they are listening to you live now. Those girls who were at your concert in Oslo thank you very much for that you liked their present – the book.
A: Of course, I liked it, of course.
Lena: And they hope that you will read it.
A: Well, I have read a half of it.
W: Aaah! Cool.
A: Well, I have many of not very good sides. I think a lot about result, so sometimes I need to insult people to get a good result.
M: Musicians and…?
A: Musicians or producers.
M: You fight with them?
A: Well, a little bit, yes. But you always have to fight at the backstage to not be angry when there is a public in there.
M: Are you a quick-tempered person?
A: Not quite. For example, when I can not sleep I often punch a wall with a fist.
M: It’s good that it’s not a producer.
A: Yes, exactly. And especially when there is a concert and something does not go the way it should then it’s always necessary not to show it to the public. So I always try to… The best, of course, is not to fight at all, but I have to. And then it’s at the backstage.
M: I see. As a matter of fact, intolerance of a bad work and of unprofessional people is a good feature too.
M: Thank you very much, Sasha, that you came to us.
A: Thank you. It’s very easy to talk to you.
M: Thank you and good luck in your career.
A: Thank you. The questions were very good, both from you and from the listeners.
M: We have very good listeners. We hope that in May of a future year we will see you in Eurovision 2010 that will be aired by the channel “Russia”.
W: Are you going to open it with your song?
A: Maybe yes.
W: I think rather so.
A: Or finish it.
M: It’s a tradition.
A: Well, yes.
M: And we hope that Norway will bring luck to the Russian performers.
A: Thank you very much.
W: Thank you so much for coming. Good luck.
A: Have a nice evening.

-Alexander was teased because he came from Belorussia and wore the same t-shirt to long, but mainly because he played the violin.Today he is a world star thanks to the violin.
--The three or four in the class who were bullied are the ones that are the most famous, so the ones who were bullies didn't have the free time you need to develop anything special.
-What would you like to say to a someone who is the same age you were on that photo and feels bullied.
--You should spend time with the few friends you do have and a long period it was just Mom and Dad, but that was enough you
only need to find one friend. Now I know that it was true what mom and dad said that it's just a small part of my life and just
make the situation as good as it can be.

This is my own translation of an article in Dagbladet, october 27. 2009
(I can't stand google translation if it can be avoided...)
"Well prepared for the USA-tour"
In a month Alexander Rybak will be on stage in Brooklyn, New York. A trip he is well prepared for, a music editor thinks.
Alexander Rybak has taken Europe with storm since the Eurovision-victory in May, and the last 6 months has been cramped with touring and promo-work. Now the young star takes a short break from the Europe tour. Next month he and the dance group Frikar aims for the other side of the Atlantic, to give two concerts in New York Millenium Theatre.
- After having been on top of lists in a number of European countries, included Germany which is the biggest record market in Europe, he is evidently well prepared for the USA-tour, says Silje Larsen Borgan, editor in the Faro-journalen.
November 21. Rybak is on stage in Brooklyn together with Frikar. A Norwegian with a fiddle and a modern folk dance group is not everyday material in the city part which according to the P3 (Norwegian radio channel much concerned with music) music leader has the most particular audience in the world. - Brooklyn represents the most spoiled audience in the world, the hipsters never applaud, not even pat each others backs, says Mats Borch Bugge to Dagbladet.
The Russian organizer Vasily Chapayev has booked the ESC-winner to the big city. Manager Line Ådland confirms that Rybak is going to meet with people in the music industry during his stay. - He is going to have a few days off, and we will visit the Sony ATV-office, Alexanders publishing company. There will be some work while we are there, but USA is not our priority right now, Ådland tells Dagbladet.
Even if the manager claims this is not a big step towards the American market, the editor in Faro-Journalen thinks it might be a market for the young artist in USA as well.
- He has a very good starting point, having reached so many already, and has a wide appeal when it comes to the market groups. He also represents something truly Norwegian, common and different musically, she says and adds: - Artists like Dimmu Borgir, Madcon and Ida Maria has obtained attention in USA the last few years, and it will be interesting to see how Rybak will be received, Larsen Borgan says, who thinks a potential breakthrough depends on timing, luck and good connections.
P3s musical editor believes however that it's a difficult market for a breakthrough for the young violinist. - I think Rybaks success to a large degree has been due to the ESC-victory, a European phenomenon, that is not going to have such an impact in USA. Success in USA demands hard work over a long period of time. Rybak has not delivered a satisfying album, but has his potential in live performances, says Borch Bugge.
Alexander Rybak has a full packed schedule until Dec. 20. He will visit among other places Moscow, Berlin and Helsinki to give concerts, in addition to promo work in different countries. He also gives priority to the traditional Christmas concerts that the Rybak family use to give.

Another nice review from Østersund, Sweden:
http://op.se/kulturnoje/recensioner/1.1469539
Google-translate:
Rybak charming mixture drowned sometimes in lavish show
Music | Östersund
• Alexander Rybak
• Band and dancers from the Frikar
• Old Theater, Saturday
Outside the theater about ten minutes before it is almost deserted. But when the doorman than to the side reveals itself a street life worthy of a rock star.
The phenomenon in itself, with hordes of screaming fans, hundreds of phones in the air by fans who want to immortalize the moment and a slight hysteria after completion of each track, is probably not in the scale occurred before in small Östersund.
It would probably not notice any difference if Robbie Williams was on the scene ...
Besides the music going in a completely different direction.
What makes Alexander Rybak to a unique artist, his charming mixture of Belarusian sadness, optimism, Norwegian, Irish / Scottish folk music stuk and especially pop melodies with choruses that sits on the brain.
He should have an ear for writing the following year's summer plagues, although he has not done anything in the class with "Fairytale".
He has intense presence in the songs, and is good at capturing the audience. Talking between songs is both easy and humorous, even after the second number he draws into laughter when he exclaims in "Have you time for a very very last song?".
He is very talented violinist, something that could only perceptible under Contest.
Among the classic elements I am very fond of the sad lullaby "Kupalinka", touching the hot play and sung.
The texts tend to be well-trivial in some of his own songs. As in "13 horses", the text is reminiscent of a Scottish sailor show, it gets too småfånigt and catchy at the end. Too bad, because melodically it is a great rock ballad with big hit potential, but unified, difficult to engage in.
Likewise is the case of the Dolphins.
But I think the pieces appealed to the young audience more.
It gets a little too much show and too little substance sometimes, when Rybak, dancers from the group was acquitted and the musicians are drowning in a sumptuous sound and light show.
Dancers, I do not really function with, they are talented, but does not add anything special until the "Kiss and Tell", which illustrates the message of the song with good choreography.
Rybak could usefully scale down on the attributes around, and still have a good show that is.

Translation of this article from the Norwegian magazine "Her & Nå" from Tuesday 20.10. The interview is done with him in the context of the TV-action for CARE.
Headline :
Alexander Rybak refuses to turn down the speed. - I almost fainted on stage.
Then everything began to spinn around, I managed to creep away to a bottle of water - and got some liquid in me ! says Alexander Rybak. Twice the MGP-star has been close to faint on stage.
- It was hot, and I was so tired and stressed. That was the explanation to that I suddenly felt bad and was about to faint, "says the MGP-star. Few have had a higher workspeed than just Alexander the last couples of months. But he refuses to turn down the high speed. - I give everything and have no understanding for those who complain about how hard it is to be a artist. Think how much we experience and think how much we earn! We have no right to complain, says an outspoken Alexander to ”Her & Nå”.
He was one of the main attractions at Sunday's magnificent TV-collection to CARE. In NRK-studio he met, among others, the presenter Dan Børge Akerø, which Alexander gives the credit for that he got a flying start on his career - when he won the "Kjempesjansen". During the show the Grand Prix fiddle was auctioned. Alexander did, however, need some time before he decided to gave it to the auction- Not because I would not support a good cause, but because I was afraid someone would buy it for ”en tier” ( Norwegian expression, means something like ”a dime”) and then crush it!! reveals Alexander.
