This was posted on Christmas. The eurovision news site Oikotimes.com was conducting a poll to nominate the Eurostar of 2010. The poll ended with 25.000 votes. Alexander finished second. It's a success, considering that he wasn't even a participant in 2010.

I tried to translate the Arrow of Cupid (russian version of Oah) :)
Arrow of Cupid
I'll hit the target by an arrow of Cupid
I will reveal the secret of love to you
I am opening my eyes, hello!
Wings and arrows. I'm dressed.
Climbing higher than usually
I'm above the clouds.
I'm spreading my wings and slightly
having decorated the skies
I am seeing a picture on Earth:
he is going and it hurts her.
But my role in a life is
to fly and to shoot
connecting hearts.
I'll hit the target by an arrow of Cupid
I will reveal the secret of love to you
I'll hitch up by an аrrow of Cupid.
Two halves at the moment will find a dawn
I want so much my arrow
to become a boomerang for me
having made a circle according to the law of life
and (*I want my arrow*) suddenly to get into my heart.
Somewhere on earth
you will remember me.
The arrow is flying to you.
I'll hit the target by an arrow of Cupid
I will reveal the secret of love to you
I'll hitch up by an аrrow of Cupid.
Two halves at the moment will find a dawn
But the rain is crying
And I am struggling with my melancholy and my sorrow
together with him.
I believe somewhere
deep in my soul
that this clear love will come to me
But I'll hit the target by an arrow of Cupid
I will reveal the secret of love to you
I'll hitch up by an аrrow of Cupid.
Two halves at the moment will find a dawn
Well I'll hit the target by an arrow of Cupid
I will reveal the secret of love to you
I'll hitch up by an аrrow of Cupid.
Two halves at the moment will find a dawn

it's not able to transl the article in google, so I cut and past the text and used google on that:
transl by google:
'If I'm not happy I let them know'
Last summer he broke his violin and left Liseberg in fury.
But in "Let's Dance" Alexander Rybak hopes to rein in his temper.
- It's a children's and family programming, "says Schlager winner.
He is noted for his tantrums several times before. The 24-year-old violinist who won the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest for Norway has, inter alia, told how he held his hands bloody in aggression - and this summer he put into his involvement in TV4-program "Lotta på Liseberg" after having lost control at the dress rehearsal .
"It goes up and down"
But when he returns to Sweden to compete in the "Let's Dance" is with the aim to keep their nerves in check.
- I still have the same mood, it goes up and down. But all in "Let's Dance" is so professional, so I have been doing very well.
Alexander Rybak do not think he should have to get into trouble because of his temper during the program. However reluctant the young artist not to voice his opinions if something feels wrong:
- I tell TV4 and production company if it is something I am not happy with.
What could it be?
- I do not want to talk about that right now.
"A family program"
Neither the low points or harsh reviews from Tony Irving will make him lose control.
- This is a family program and I have zero respect for people who are cursed and will be tough in such contexts.
- So if I feel I get angry or upset, I have to ensure that calm me down.
And you can do just like that?
- Oh yeah. The thing with the broken violin was a bit ill, but it was on the other hand on a rope

This doesn't seem to be here. It's a video about the dancing and Malin which you probably have seen, but have you read the text? It's about him also probably participating in "Singing with the stars" in Ukraina - at the same time as "Let's dance". Malin will come with him to Ukraina.

And translation of the video http://www.vg.no/musikk/artikkel.php?artid=10037193
Ahh, just wait a little. Yes, I am here, I just have to wake up a little. As soon as I wake up I notice the nervousness.
This is waltz for me, not this.. This is waltz.
It is nice to be a favorite, it means that people like me, in this country. But, we know that favorites fast get not-favorites. Or, people get tired of favorites, you might say.
Here it is all the time.. it shall go a little down?
M: Not with the arm, this is to drop the arm, but it is about shaping the body.
A: Yes, ok.
I have huge respect for Malin, she rules me with an iron hand. But she is very loving, and look after that I get enough rest and that I feel good.
She decides, and I am very happy with that. But the last two days, I have had a few words to her choreography. And she has nothing against that, fortunately, so we cooperate a little about expression and so on.
What you can say, is that my Eastern European blood gives me some advantage here, because I want to practice a lot. So yes, I have discipline enough, believe it or not.
I have of course already begun to think about what happens if I bust out on the first program. So I have already begun to make some minor excuses, already. I'm stiff, I'm not soft and .. But of course, I will not bust. Uff..
I have really gained respect for the jury. And Tony Irving, the main jury member, greeted me and he looked at a few dance steps of mine very early, and said I have very potential if I practice. And I can not disappoint him. I can not disappoint the Swedish people.
But to be honest, when I'm done with "Let's dance", then I'm still going to dance waltz like this.
Haven't you seen "Beauty and the Beast"?

T: Excuse me, excuse me. We are making a little backstage program here. You can undress while we do this.
A: This is what I am going to wear, I am a Matador. (No, that is in Paso Double :)
T: It looks a little like Donald Duck.
A: Yes.
T: How are you Alex, how does it feel to be in Sweden?
A: Are you a reporter now?
T: Yes, this is backstage. Here you can tell how it really feels. This is an honest program, not that kind of stuff you are doing on the (dance)floor. This is for real.
A: You are supposed to get to know about the honest and unmasked Alexander Rybak?
T: Right now you actually have a lot of make-up on.
A: Yes, now I have make-up on, that’s true.
T: How does it feel for real? Does if feel good before the show this evening?
A: That was a very unmasked question, I have never heard it before.
T: You haven’t?
A: Well done! But I could probably have a better posture. No, no, wait a little. There is an answer you always should use: It feels good!
T: When you take away all the choreography and stuff, how does it feel inside your Norwegian-Belarusian heart? Do you feel this will be a good or a bad experience?
A: A very good experience, it has been a good experience the last three weeks. Is it three weeks, Malin?
T: You are dancing with an extremely beautiful girl from Gothenburg. How does it feel?
A: It feels like the best in the world, I could never get a better partner. I knew that, so I said that if I couldn’t have her, I didn’t want to dance at all.
T: Do you consider “Let’s dance” as a personal ad?
A: No, I consider “Let’s dance” as a show where you need good chemistry. I saw in the interviews with Malin, that she has…
T: …good chemistry?
A: That she has a very calm attitude, and that it’s easy to communicate with her.
T: So it has nothing to do with her beauty and looks, only that the chemistry was good?
A: And it is also very nice to dance with such a beautiful girl on stage. I will get many points because of that, I think.
T: I think so too, absolutely. What do you think she feels about you?
A: I don’t know, and I don’t want to speculate about that. But you have it all right with me on stage, don’t you?
M: Absolutely.
T: Come here, Malin. Can’t you tell something about how it feels to dance with our fantastic Norwegian? You can stay here and listen, you might learn something about yourself.
M: It’s actually very, very, very cool.
A: Actually.
M: I am surprised.
T: I can say so much: I have known Alexander for about a week, and I have laughed a lot, and I feel I am sort of falling in love with him. He is a nice boy and a good person behind all this. Very nice.
A: Thanks, but what did I say about looking at celebrities?
T: You are supposed to look up to them, and not look into their eyes. Just like with dogs, you don’t look in their eyes, only look from below with caution.
A: We have been joking about that the last week.
T: I am joking, he is not joking. I will be walking around like Gollum the whole year.
Thanks Alexander and Malin, thank you very much. It was nice, have fun. Good luck tonight!
Now, it’s strange how those Norwegians think they are better than us only because they have oil. Very strange, actually!

For you Swedes I'm best known for Eurovision 2009 where I won with Fairytale. I'm very proud and self-confident when I stand on the stage with the violin because there's almost no one else in Scandinavia who can do what I do.

The way you can compare ballroom dancing and the violin is that it looks easy but it's really hard to do. I think I bring my stubbornes from the violin tio ”Let's Dance” and then just go for it.

Malin: One of the problems we have when we dance is actually his knees, he is a bit knocked- kneed, they point a little bit inwards.
It's so weird to walk like this, do I do that.
M: Presicely, you don't useally walk like that, now you did that with your knees again..
It's from my Elvis period I got this twitch. Well we will get rid of it tomorrow.
Male host:A waltz by Alexander and Malin! Please stand hear. Isabel you get to start what do you think?
Isabel: I was speaking in the beginning of the show about that swing motion and you did that really well, wow what a waltz, very good footwork, it's the first week. Your back was straight but still relaxed, you also had a good posture in the walking postures. I can't remember that there was such a good waltz in Germany[She has been a judge on the German version of the show] in the beginning of the show. So let's see.
AR Great, thank you.
Male host: Ok Tony what do you have to say?
Tony Irwing: I was a very dramatic a very emotional waltz you did, from an entertainment side it was good. Whenyou improve your technique then you can go very far in this show, so it was a good start.
Male host: I just want to say at we sometimes are having troubles with understanding what Tony says[He speaks with an English accent] so for you it mus be completely impossible. What he said was it is the best thing i has seen for six years, he thinks you are a great violinist and he got both of your cd:s
Ok thanks to the jury, thankyou Alexander and Malin for your waltz.

Femal host: Come, come, Alexander come closer I wont bite you I promis. We are very happy to have you here bu in Norway they are less happy, how come you didn't choose Norwegia ”Skall vi danse” ?
AR: No everythin is much biger in Sweden, the hairs, the sequines and everything. Let's dance is a glam show so you have to be in the Swedish version.
Female host: Is there a chance you will move to Sweden for good?
AR: No, but that is good for you, you wouldn't want me as ”nabo” your whole life.
Female host: ”Nabo” means neighbor, I can interpret a bit since I live in Norway to. Here comes the results, Alexander.
The points are presented.
Female host: Just a little bit more, I know your mom is a little bit sad today.
AR: Yes, merry Christmas mom.
Femal host: In Norway they think today is Christmas eve.
AR. No no, I'm original from Belorussia and there they celebrate orthodox Christmas so I hope mom is watching even if it's Christmas eve.
Female host: It was a nice Christmas present you gave her, well done, and you at home votes for Alexander and Malin if you want to see more of them.

Hamar Arbeiderblad, Sat. Dec. 18th, 2010 . Translated by Laila Ulvseth
LISA SANG DUET WITH RYBAK
When Alexander Rybak was on stage at Scandic last night, he had with him Lisa Nybrott (21) as guest artist and duet partner.
For the very first time, Alexander Rybak is on a Christmas tour. And when the ESC-winner goes on a long tour in Norway, he doesn't go alone. With him comes a large band. He also brings a guest artist each place he visits.
Yesterday, Lisa Nybrott from Hamar shared the stage with Rybak. Trough his fanclub (sic!) he has asked for potential guest artists. Eight different people suggested Lisa for the Hamar concert. Rybak got some recordings, and was pleased with what he heard. Friday, they were singing "Baby, it's cold outside". In addition Lisa was singing "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".
- I have experienced more than enough success and have the wish to lift forth other artists. I enjoy acting manager a little, Rybak says to HA.
Friday's concert was a blessed mix of his own music, American Christmas music and Norwegian Christmas classics. "Fairytale" was also part of the concert, of course. "Swinging home for Christmas" is the name of the tour. And that is exactly what he has done this year - come home for Christmas.
Even if the mix of Christmas music and self-composed music seemed a little weird, it was a nice night at Scandic. The big band was really swinging, and the artist himself has an interesting way to treat his violin. When he and his three co-violinists was playing on eachother strings, it got really funny.
There were lots of space for humour. Alexander Rybak is a funny guy, who tells us about two-packs of cheap boxers and Belarussian Christmas traditions. In Belarus, the Christmas preparations are extremely busy, according to the artist.
- Where I come from, we are very busy before Christmas. We are stealing Christmas presents and we have a lot of candles. It isn't really Christmas until a curtain catches fire, he joked.
And even if this wasn't the first time Rybak told his jokes, people were laughing friendly. The hall takes 1000 people, but less than 250 was there. It seemed scarce, but the artist didn't bother. He was entertaining as if it was a fullseated Oslo Spektrum.
Rybak's Christmas tour is of the commercial kind. At the entrance there was a table with t-shirts, posters and CD's. After the show Rybak was signing autographs. Peter and Caspar, both 6, wanted an autograph. They were both wearing new t-shirts.

How To Train Your Dragon is nominated for a Golden Globe (which means it will probably be up for an Oscar too) in the 'Best Animated Film' category.
Yohan: Barnevandrer unfortunately is not up for a nomination in the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category, sadly. I'm wondering if the English scenes at the beginning and the end of the movie, counted against it.

From Adresseavisen,the biggest news paper in Trondheim, 4th of December (Yes,I know I`m very,very late :p)
WANTS TO PLAY WITH" KEEP OF KALESSIN"
-The only time this year I got real starstruck,was when I met Arnt in "Keep of Kalessin",says Alexander Rybak.
-I Love "Keep of Kalessin". It would have been really cool to work with them,Alexander Rybak says to Adresseavisen. -They have really touched me. I think they were the moral winners of this years MGP.
-What do you mean?
-They are not afraid to make their genre available and commercial. People from Bergen are good to keep on with their niches,while you "trøndere",are good at including people.
Rybak also admits that he is a fan of the Finnish band "Children of Bodom"
-They are really tough and hard guys. It would have been fun to play violin with them as well.
We know him best with the fiddle and three bouncy and handsome dancers in the background. But Rybak is an impatient soul who can`t sit still. He`s always looking out for new projects.
-Many people think I know only one thing,they put me in a niche,so there`s no need for me to that myself. I don`t like to sit still,and that`s why I start new projects all the time. I work a lot to find out things about different kinds of music and different expressions.
-Lots of artists only bring a pianist or a guitarist for their Christmas-shows. I want to do a little more,offer people something different. I want to explore different parts of life. A little bit like Wagner.
Thursday and friday this week he played in Frimurerlogen with a big band and his show "Swinging home for Christmas". Rybak himself was the producer and the musical director. He has also arranged lots of the old,American Christmas-songs in his own style.
But at the same time he`s trying to keep the thing that`s typical for him.
-The tickets are expencive. I can`t experiment in front of my audience. I know my audience,and think it`s important that they can have a good time with singalong and stuff,he says.
The popularity and hysteria among girls is a thing he don`t want to talk about.
-It`s my own fault. This is the life I`ve chosen. But I`m happy and have no regrets.
Even if the songs for next years MGP are not yet released,he knows that "Sie Gubba" is among the contestants. But he don`t know who Carina Dahl from Trondheim is.
-If you are a well-known name,doesn`t matter in this contest. That`s exactly what Per Sundnes wants. It`s the good melody that should be the main thing,not the artist.
-But I think more of the contestants in MGP should ask them self why they do this. I believe not many of them do that.

With a Russian descent world star met a Hungarian singer.
Katja Sebestyen.
A Star is Born in the former participant's meeting, she tell about it for us.Previous experience in a show now, what you told us when he returned from Moscow, one of Russia's biggest festival, where the duo came up Guitar Dve. Befriended in the Eurovision Song Contest winner, Alex Rybakkal and she many memories become richer.
- I arrived at the Hungarian team and has great performance that night at the hotel waiting for us. Former pop, folk, romansz-bardovskaja pesznja, classical music. What is the romansz and bárdovszkaja Pesni genre started. The evening ended with concerts each day. Not only we went to concerts, we have been a spectator of the Russian pop music and great performances highest excellence. All was! The largest folk choir, performed at the Hor Imeni Pjatniockogo also received the eyes full of tears and beautiful songs. Such was the konjac entitled to free up any emotions in humans who have ever loved the country! - She started smiling.
- I met with last year's Eurovision winner, Alex Rybakkal, and his father, who is also a great musician. Various politicians, such as along the main Moscow mayor. And many, many well-known people ...
- Rybak, in the Gala is played one Hungarian mix on the violin. For example "The red wine I drank last night " it was also in the mix. He was like a true Hungarian Gypsy violinist I heard when I shut my eyes. I understand that to him a distant ancestor was a Hungarian. Otherwise he is very natural and cool. He is a very open people, who are still not used to big stardom.
was a big party in the night,after a concert
- It was nice, we sat among the spectators. I have from him asked that the program make after a joint photo, but it is only for its success. The item is out of the machine. We talked also, and meantime it turned out that he speaks Russian - and we are also talking it language - so we continued the conversation for English instead of Russian. The Gala, held after the party until dawn with his parents, who were also recognized musicians, a professional a violinist papa and a pianist mama . Good to know that in Russia the parents of one of the highest! - Initiated us into the details is Katja.
- Alex Rybak also said that it is still very difficult to become accustomed to, so that it became known to man. The proof of this, it is very natural behavior. Terrible easily said yes to our request for a joint photograph. Could learn from him all the public, and media star, voted for him throughout Europe and winner of the Eurovision Song Contest has not got out of him mind! Great guy! And very sweet, cute, cute, and I melt when he sings and plays on the violin! - Said about him the Hungarian artist.

Hamar Arbeiderblad, Sat. Dec. 18th, 2010 . Translated by Laila Ulvseth
LISA SANG DUET WITH RYBAK
When Alexander Rybak was on stage at Scandic last night, he had with him Lisa Nybrott (21) as guest artist and duet partner.
For the very first time, Alexander Rybak is on a Christmas tour. And when the ESC-winner goes on a long tour in Norway, he doesn't go alone. With him comes a large band. He also brings a guest artist each place he visits.
Yesterday, Lisa Nybrott from Hamar shared the stage with Rybak. Trough his fanclub (sic!) he has asked for potential guest artists. Eight different people suggested Lisa for the Hamar concert. Rybak got some recordings, and was pleased with what he heard. Friday, they were singing "Baby, it's cold outside". In addition Lisa was singing "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".
- I have experienced more than enough success and have the wish to lift forth other artists. I enjoy acting manager a little, Rybak says to HA.
Friday's concert was a blessed mix of his own music, American Christmas music and Norwegian Christmas classics. "Fairytale" was also part of the concert, of course. "Swinging home for Christmas" is the name of the tour. And that is exactly what he has done this year - come home for Christmas.
Even if the mix of Christmas music and self-composed music seemed a little weird, it was a nice night at Scandic. The big band was really swinging, and the artist himself has an interesting way to treat his violin. When he and his three co-violinists was playing on eachother strings, it got really funny.
There were lots of space for humour. Alexander Rybak is a funny guy, who tells us about two-packs of cheap boxers and Belarussian Christmas traditions. In Belarus, the Christmas preparations are extremely busy, according to the artist.
- Where I come from, we are very busy before Christmas. We are stealing Christmas presents and we have a lot of candles. It isn't really Christmas until a curtain catches fire, he joked.
And even if this wasn't the first time Rybak told his jokes, people were laughing friendly. The hall takes 1000 people, but less than 250 was there. It seemed scarce, but the artist didn't bother. He was entertaining as if it was a fullseated Oslo Spektrum.
Rybak's Christmas tour is of the commercial kind. At the entrance there was a table with t-shirts, posters and CD's. After the show Rybak was signing autographs. Peter and Caspar, both 6, wanted an autograph. They were both wearing new t-shirts.
- I think "Fairytale" is cool and this is the finest t-shirt I've got, says Caspar and straightens, so Rybak is getting more visible on his chest. - I'll ask if I can join his next band, said Peter before he got his autograph. - My teacher is named Frode and he plays in a rock band, and so will I.

I found a small article I would like to publish
/with google translator a translations, minor repairs, because the Hungarian language is sometimes too complicated /
With a Russian descent world star met a Hungarian singer.
Katja Sebestyen.
A Star is Born in the former participant's meeting, she tell about it for us.Previous experience in a show now, what you told us when he returned from Moscow, one of Russia's biggest festival, where the duo came up Guitar Dve. Befriended in the Eurovision Song Contest winner, Alex Rybakkal and she many memories become richer.
- I arrived at the Hungarian team and has great performance that night at the hotel waiting for us. Former pop, folk, romansz-bardovskaja pesznja, classical music. What is the romansz and bárdovszkaja Pesni genre started. The evening ended with concerts each day. Not only we went to concerts, we have been a spectator of the Russian pop music and great performances highest excellence. All was! The largest folk choir, performed at the Hor Imeni Pjatniockogo also received the eyes full of tears and beautiful songs. Such was the konjac entitled to free up any emotions in humans who have ever loved the country! - She started smiling.
- I met with last year's Eurovision winner, Alex Rybakkal, and his father, who is also a great musician. Various politicians, such as along the main Moscow mayor. And many, many well-known people ...
- Rybak, in the Gala is played one Hungarian mix on the violin. For example "The red wine I drank last night " it was also in the mix. He was like a true Hungarian Gypsy violinist I heard when I shut my eyes. I understand that to him a distant ancestor was a Hungarian. Otherwise he is very natural and cool. He is a very open people, who are still not used to big stardom.
was a big party in the night,after a concert
- It was nice, we sat among the spectators. I have from him asked that the program make after a joint photo, but it is only for its success. The item is out of the machine. We talked also, and meantime it turned out that he speaks Russian - and we are also talking it language - so we continued the conversation for English instead of Russian. The Gala, held after the party until dawn with his parents, who were also recognized musicians, a professional a violinist papa and a pianist mama . Good to know that in Russia the parents of one of the highest! - Initiated us into the details is Katja.
- Alex Rybak also said that it is still very difficult to become accustomed to, so that it became known to man. The proof of this, it is very natural behavior. Terrible easily said yes to our request for a joint photograph. Could learn from him all the public, and media star, voted for him throughout Europe and winner of the Eurovision Song Contest has not got out of him mind! Great guy! And very sweet, cute, cute, and I melt when he sings and plays on the violin! - Said about him the Hungarian artist.

A little interview during the Junior Eurovision (from 1.30)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-7_gj6-wE
Reporter: Alexander Rybak, the winner of ESC 2009 will perform the interval act in the Junior Eurovision. The singer has got a bit sick but specially for the viewers of the “Channel 1” he agreed to give a small interview.
Alex: I like it very much that there is such a professionalism here, so they have invited many people from Sweden, for example, because it’s a fact that there are the best technicians in Sweden.
Because it’s a very good team and I’m very glad that Eurovision is taking place here this year.
Reporter: Also Alexander shared his impressions about the participants.
Alex: Honestly speaking, everybody have almost the same rhythm, almost the same dances. I liked very much the boy from Belarus, he… (coughs) I haven’t seen any dancers there. It’s a very strong performance because it’s all around him, only him.
Reporter: And already leaving he stumbled over Daniel (the Belarusian participant)
Alex to Daniel: You are the best one here!
Daniel: Thank you.
Alex: The most important - tell your story, ok?
Reporter: After such parting words Danik has got a bit lost and to the question, if he feels the rivalry, he gave an absolutely children-like answer.
Daniel: All are the rivals!
Reporter: All are the rivals?
Daniel: Yes, all are the rivals!
Reporter: So, you don’t have any friendship between you, just a rivalry?
Daniel: Oi, the other way around – all are NOT the rivals! :)

An interview after arrival in Minsk airport, 18.11.10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhQz6cGU7jo
Alex: Come on, come on!
Reporter: With what kind of emotions you have come here?
Alex: With the sick ones. No, it’s very pleasant for me to come to Belarus again, but it’s a pity that I have got sick just at a time when I have come to my mother-land. You are as sweet as always, that’s pleasant.
Reporter: Are you having a cold?
Alex: Well, yes. But I don’t have high temperature, so I’m glad. But it hurts very much when I speak and my ears hurt.
Reporter: Do you follow what’s going on on Junior Eurovision?
Alex: Well, I liked very much… but I don’t know if she’s a participant from this year or from the last one, Ksjusha.
Reporter: Ksjusha Sytnik (a winner of the Junior Eurovision 2005. Alex mixed the things up a bit)
Alex: Ksjusha, yes. It didn’t work out this time but I hope for the next time (he meant that he was supposed to sing a duet with Ksjusha but then he refused)
Reporter: Who is your favorite from the participants of this year?
Alex: I didn’t see them yet. I’ll watch them now. The same as in Oslo this year. I didn’t know almost nobody before the final. Because I like surprises.
Reporter: What kind of performance have you prepared for the Junior Eurovision, tell us please?
Alex: Since it’s a show for the children and for the families, I prepared a very bright song from my new album, which is about Europe. It is like I sing about a girl but actually I sing about Europe, that I will always come back to it. And it’s a very bright song with such a rhythm…
Reporter: In your opinion, what’s the difference between Junior Eurovision and adult Eurovision?
Alex: I think and hope that in Junior Eurovision everything is more safe, that you, the press, treat them better, not paying more attention to the scandals than to the talents and so on, because on the adult Eurovision they paid as much attention on whom I was hanging out with, as on what song I had. And here I hope that they will show more of the young talents.
Reporter: In your opinion, what kind of questions the journalists should ask the children? Give an advice to the journalists.
Alex: Hah, no! Well, I would ask them what they have learnt on this project. Or whom they made friends with, well, such pleasant questions.
Reporter: How many rehearsals will you have here, how long you will be preparing the performance?
Alex: Here I hope it won’t be long, because I have prepared the whole performance already, so we will work only for the technicians.
…
What I have seen that there is almost no criminality in Minsk, everything is very quiet…
(Meeting the fans)
Alex: Your name is Sasha. Thank you very much.
A girl: I’m Lena.
Alex: Lena? You look like Lena.
Lena: How is that? We are very glad to see you.
Alex: I’m glad to see you too. But I just hoped that I would have been healthier. Well, ok, we’ll meet again the day after tomorrow, right?
Lena: I’ll be at the rehearsal and will wave to you.
Alex: Why to wave on the rehearsal, we will be rehearsing there.
Alex: With my female-violinists…. So, you can say that this trip is a culmination of this year.
...
Reporter: Get well!
Alex: Thank you.

Alexander in Morgennytt, NRK 25.11.10
H: Alexander Rybak has brought his fiddle and a Big Band, and will now charme people around the country with Christmas songs. In addition to the band, local artists will participate in the Christmas concerts. Yesterday – it was rehearsals.
(Singing ‘Let it snow’)
H: Alexander Rybak, welcome to Morgennytt!
A: Thank you!
H: You have come here almost directly from tour abroad, to rehearsals for the tour here at home – where have you been
A: Yes – it has been almost continously - as you can see, I was very concentrated on rehearsal... because ..as I said - it has been continously... I have been to Miami, Ukraina, Malta, Helsinki and all that, like... lately ... and without any break... so then I just had to work with the Christmas tour while I was in all these different countries.
H: You have enough to do?
A: Yes! So it was... but it was nice because while I was everywhere in Europe... and a little lin Asia and a little in America ...all the time I thought of being back here – because... I thought: I’ll be home for Christmas!...
H: But do you have any time to experience the places you are, when you are on tour abroad?
A: You know – this year I do. Last year it was a little ... a little... too much.. it was a new country every day, almost.. and then it felt almost like I got a ‘trailer’ of the town , – know what I mean? – like ‘Oh – I have to come back here once...’ while I was there, kind of.. But now it was more like 3 – 4 days – so I – like, drove a ‘water scooter’ in Miami – that was great fun.. around all Miami..
H: How have you been met by people all these places?
A: Yes – eveywhere! ( T: He obviously didn’t hear the question right...) It’s very fun! But then I make a little extra task for myself, because I – instead of doing like the really big starts do – like Lady Gaga – I will rather make a special performance for each country – so as in Finland I sing a couple of songs in Finnish (?? Never heard THAT!) In Ukraina I have Russian songs, right....in America I play country – I work really hard to please my audience.
H: ..and making more work for yourself..?
A: Yes.. And now I work more than ever with this Christmas tour..
H: Yes, what will people get to hear?
A: First of all they will HEAR a band of 11 people, this isn’t a money-saving-tour... I think Christmas should be about giving...and not about getting – so I give people a gift in the shape of lots of humour, - many swing songs, right – Christmas songs – because it started for me with swing – here by you in NRK – in 'Kjempesjansen' - then I sang my own penned song ‘Foolin’’ – with a big band – so,then I arranged that one myself – and it is one of those I will sing – in addition to lots of Christmas songs, that I also have arranged.
H: What sort of relationship to you have to.. – American Christmas songs for example?
A: It is the first Chritmas tradition I got, I think – when I moved to Norway,... because when I was 6 – 7 years I was only used to New Year – that is what we are celebrating in Belarus, and then we have Christmas 7th January. But now I understood that 24th of December something was happening, because so many got together... and so we started celebrating that day, then.
H: What about Norwegian Christmas songs – do you have any relationship to that?
A: Yes, mmmm ... it’s..
H: Some you like especially well?
A: Yes, I like ‘Romjulsdrøm’ – everything by Alf Prøysen is good. Eh ... I like Norwegian Christmas songs of course in a different way, because then it tells a story, you understand it in another way than the English, of course – because the Norwegian songs unite at once the child and the adult – everyone knows the message – in addition to the melody... But – then there are – like ‘Let it snow’ – one of those we are singing – there the melody says everything..
H: Mmm. You say, in a way there was Christmas only when you came to Norway – what is the Christmas traditions for you – what kind of Christmas traditions do you have now?
A: mmm – Ribbe! (T: pork ribs – one of the traditional Norwegian Christmas dinners) - that’s the best tradition of them all! No... – use a lot of money for gifts – money I don’t have... (laughs) – so now it is the same here, too – just make a bigger impact..
H: Might be coming some money in, on this... on this...?
A: Yes if I am lucky, we will break even, know what I mean – in this year, I first think.... I could have dragged along a guitarist and a pianoplayer, right – but I rather... as said... Christmas is about giving..
H: So this will be show?
A: Yes, it’s a meeting again with my audience!
H:Mmm. You will use local artists the different places?
A: Yes!
H: Can you tell a little about who we will meet around?
A: Yes it’s like we do this little by little, step by step..- a little strategically ... so we can tell the first... it is a local... a local ‘hope’ from Stavanger, who shall sing in Sandnes – she is called Marijke Wang, a very, very skilled musical star. And then we will have Ingrid Haukland in Trondheim – because that was the nearest to Bodø – where she comes from – I just had to have her with us...
H: Yes you need to tell from where she is known?
A: From X-Factor... Yes – she was ‘out’ there, but not by me! – and it’s actually some more X-factor participants that will be with us..
H: So what other places will you play on this tour?
A: - ooh – I really should know this – but we end the tour in Oslo,... 18th and 19th in Kolbotn, 20th and 21th in Chat Noir, 22nd in Drammen – and before that we have Hamar, Lillehammer, Ålesund, Trondheim, - we have Tønsberg – there will Didrik Solli-Tangen be with us... And then we have Arendal – because now I have... my last concert in Arendal was the only concert that was cancelled with me ever – and that will not happen again! – So now I’ll put together the best team...
H: But after the last concert – then it will be Christmas for you, too?
A: yes, no – it’s now it’s Christmas...- during these concerts – it’s the best of Christmas!
H: Wishing you a lot of luck with the concerts – and thanks for coming here, Alexander Rybak!
A: Thank you - pleasant!

I don't know if anyone else heard this, but I was listening to Radio Norge today, appr. 13.50 - when I heard a familiar voice in a very short interview. It lasted less than a minute and was about "on a cosy Friday night in front of the tv, what would you offer your guests?"
The first answer was "HD-tv!" Then Alexander was asked about the food he would serve, and I don't remember it by heart, but he said something like "even I can shop some chicken, make a sauce - there are so many different good sauces you can buy - and then cook rice or spaghetti."
That was about it :) (I know I shouldn't comment here, but - just wanted to say I agree, I even ate that last night!)

The Grand Prix-hero of Norway, skips Norway.
The winner of the Eurovision 2009, Alexander Rybak, wants to compose for Belarus in the future.
Last year, he participated for Norway and won big-time The ESC with the cheerful song Fairytales
...But now, it is over, with writing songs for Norway, tellsslut med at Alexander Rybak in an interview to norwegian VG.
In the future, he prefers to compose songs for eastern european artists and most wished are artists from the homeland, Belarus.
- I will not participate myself again. It is foolish to try to top yourself. But I would very much like, to be a composer for another artist, says Rybak ,who doesnt fear the reaction from norwegians, when he exchange them for belarussians-
- There are many different opinions on me in Norway. Some will regret, but others will be glad - says the violinist, who is sure that the musical shift to eastern-european is the right thing for him.
But before Alexander Rybak shoots another ESC.-hit out of his sleeve, the violinist, who earlier this year had a nervous breakdown, is going for a Christmas-concert-tour in Norway.
- I wish for audience, as Christmas-present, Rybak says with a smile.

Article in Se og Hør, 4. december 2010. Translated by Laila Ulvseth
Never forget my childhood's Christmas
Here, Alexander Rybak tells us about his private Christmas celebrations.
- I believe everybody has expectations about the perfect Christmas eve - but with us there is always some quarreling and hectic. But that is what makes it so special, says Alexander Rybak.
On Se og Hør's exclusive picture we see him as a 7-year old with daddy Igor Rybak (56) and grandmother Maria Savitskaja (84). This is the first picture of Alexander's first Norwegian Christmas.
- I remember that we had pork ribs for dinner and that I got a lot of presents. Dad and I always had a competition about who got the most presents, he smiles.
Mommy Natalia Rybak (51) adds: - Celebrating Christmas in Norway was very different than in Belarus. Here there were Christmas music and festivities everywhere. As early as the first Christmas here, we decided to make pork ribs for dinner - now this is our tradition too, she smiles at Se og Hør.
- Mom always say that I'm the one who makes the ribs. The truth however is that I am the one to put it in the oven, and take it out, Alexander laughs.
Already the first Christmas eve in Norway, the Rybaks decided to spread their musical joy to the local community. - At that time, Alexander played both violin and piano, and together we played for the Salvation Army. We still do, says Natalia.
- Giving presents to the children was a big issue in Norway. Alexander's first present was a clown playing a lullaby, that he loved very much. To this day it is in his room at Nesodden, mommy smiles.
Today, a common Christmas eve is a hectic day for Alexander. - We get up early. Mom and I like to watch Flåklypa (one of the best animated movies in Norway ever (translators comment)). Dad prefers watching Russian free wrestling.
What the star seldom talks about, is the charity he does. - Later that day we perform some church concerts, before we perform for the homeless at Nesodden. I often play at Radiumhospitalet (Norway's main cancer hospital, situated near Oslo (translater's comment)), and for others with a story that moves me. But I'll never get so cynical as to invite the press to such events. That is too personal, he says, and adds: - Christmas is a reminder that the best things in life is to make others happy!

A little interview during the Junior Eurovision (from 1.30)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-7_gj6-wE
Reporter: Alexander Rybak, the winner of ESC 2009 will perform the interval act in the Junior Eurovision. The singer has got a bit sick but specially for the viewers of the “Channel 1” he agreed to give a small interview.
Alex: I like it very much that there is such a professionalism here, so they have invited many people from Sweden, for example, because it’s a fact that there are the best technicians in Sweden.
Because it’s a very good team and I’m very glad that Eurovision is taking place here this year.
Reporter: Also Alexander shared his impressions about the participants.
Alex: Honestly speaking, everybody have almost the same rhythm, almost the same dances. I liked very much the boy from Belarus, he… (coughs) I haven’t seen any dancers there. It’s a very strong performance because it’s all around him, only him.
Reporter: And already leaving he stumbled over Daniel (the Belarusian participant)
Alex to Daniel: You are the best one here!
Daniel: Thank you.
Alex: The most important - tell your story, ok?
Reporter: After such parting words Danik has got a bit lost and to the question, if he feels the rivalry, he gave an absolutely children-like answer.
Daniel: All are the rivals!
Reporter: All are the rivals?
Daniel: Yes, all are the rivals!
Reporter: So, you don’t have any friendship between you, just a rivalry?
Daniel: Oi, the other way around – all are NOT the rivals! :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhQz6cGU7jo
Alex: Come on, come on!
Reporter: With what kind of emotions you have come here?
Alex: With the sick ones. No, it’s very pleasant for me to come to Belarus again, but it’s a pity that I have got sick just at a time when I have come to my mother-land. You are as sweet as always, that’s pleasant.
Reporter: Are you having a cold?
Alex: Well, yes. But I don’t have high temperature, so I’m glad. But it hurts very much when I speak and my ears hurt.
Reporter: Do you follow what’s going on on Junior Eurovision?
Alex: Well, I liked very much… but I don’t know if she’s a participant from this year or from the last one, Ksjusha.
Reporter: Ksjusha Sytnik (a winner of the Junior Eurovision 2005. Alex mixed the things up a bit)
Alex: Ksjusha, yes. It didn’t work out this time but I hope for the next time (he meant that he was supposed to sing a duet with Ksjusha but then he refused)
Reporter: Who is your favorite from the participants of this year?
Alex: I didn’t see them yet. I’ll watch them now. The same as in Oslo this year. I didn’t know almost nobody before the final. Because I like surprises.
Reporter: What kind of performance have you prepared for the Junior Eurovision, tell us please?
Alex: Since it’s a show for the children and for the families, I prepared a very bright song from my new album, which is about Europe. It is like I sing about a girl but actually I sing about Europe, that I will always come back to it. And it’s a very bright song with such a rhythm…
Reporter: In your opinion, what’s the difference between Junior Eurovision and adult Eurovision?
Alex: I think and hope that in Junior Eurovision everything is more safe, that you, the press, treat them better, not paying more attention to the scandals than to the talents and so on, because on the adult Eurovision they paid as much attention on whom I was hanging out with, as on what song I had. And here I hope that they will show more of the young talents.
Reporter: In your opinion, what kind of questions the journalists should ask the children? Give an advice to the journalists.
Alex: Hah, no! Well, I would ask them what they have learnt on this project. Or whom they made friends with, well, such pleasant questions.
Reporter: How many rehearsals will you have here, how long you will be preparing the performance?
Alex: Here I hope it won’t be long, because I have prepared the whole performance already, so we will work only for the technicians.
…
What I have seen that there is almost no criminality in Minsk, everything is very quiet…
(Meeting the fans)
Alex: Your name is Sasha. Thank you very much.
A girl: I’m Lena.
Alex: Lena? You look like Lena.
Lena: How is that? We are very glad to see you.
Alex: I’m glad to see you too. But I just hoped that I would have been healthier. Well, ok, we’ll meet again the day after tomorrow, right?
Lena: I’ll be at the rehearsal and will wave to you.
Alex: Why to wave on the rehearsal, we will be rehearsing there.
Alex: With my female-violinists…. So, you can say that this trip is a culmination of this year.
...
Reporter: Get well!
Alex: Thank you.

Alexander in Morgennytt, NRK 25.11.10
H: Alexander Rybak has brought his fiddle and a Big Band, and will now charme people around the country with Christmas songs. In addition to the band, local artists will participate in the Christmas concerts. Yesterday – it was rehearsals.
(Singing ‘Let it snow’)
H: Alexander Rybak, welcome to Morgennytt!
A: Thank you!
H: You have come here almost directly from tour abroad, to rehearsals for the tour here at home – where have you been
A: Yes – it has been almost continously - as you can see, I was very concentrated on rehearsal... because ..as I said - it has been continously... I have been to Miami, Ukraina, Malta, Helsinki and all that, like... lately ... and without any break... so then I just had to work with the Christmas tour while I was in all these different countries.
H: You have enough to do?
A: Yes! So it was... but it was nice because while I was everywhere in Europe... and a little lin Asia and a little in America ...all the time I thought of being back here – because... I thought: I’ll be home for Christmas!...
H: But do you have any time to experience the places you are, when you are on tour abroad?
A: You know – this year I do. Last year it was a little ... a little... too much.. it was a new country every day, almost.. and then it felt almost like I got a ‘trailer’ of the town , – know what I mean? – like ‘Oh – I have to come back here once...’ while I was there, kind of.. But now it was more like 3 – 4 days – so I – like, drove a ‘water scooter’ in Miami – that was great fun.. around all Miami..
H: How have you been met by people all these places?
A: Yes – eveywhere! ( T: He obviously didn’t hear the question right...) It’s very fun! But then I make a little extra task for myself, because I – instead of doing like the really big starts do – like Lady Gaga – I will rather make a special performance for each country – so as in Finland I sing a couple of songs in Finnish (?? Never heard THAT!) In Ukraina I have Russian songs, right....in America I play country – I work really hard to please my audience.
H: ..and making more work for yourself..?
A: Yes.. And now I work more than ever with this Christmas tour..
H: Yes, what will people get to hear?
A: First of all they will HEAR a band of 11 people, this isn’t a money-saving-tour... I think Christmas should be about giving...and not about getting – so I give people a gift in the shape of lots of humour, - many swing songs, right – Christmas songs – because it started for me with swing – here by you in NRK – in 'Kjempesjansen' - then I sang my own penned song ‘Foolin’’ – with a big band – so,then I arranged that one myself – and it is one of those I will sing – in addition to lots of Christmas songs, that I also have arranged.
H: What sort of relationship to you have to.. – American Christmas songs for example?
A: It is the first Chritmas tradition I got, I think – when I moved to Norway,... because when I was 6 – 7 years I was only used to New Year – that is what we are celebrating in Belarus, and then we have Christmas 7th January. But now I understood that 24th of December something was happening, because so many got together... and so we started celebrating that day, then.
H: What about Norwegian Christmas songs – do you have any relationship to that?
A: Yes, mmmm ... it’s..
H: Some you like especially well?
A: Yes, I like ‘Romjulsdrøm’ – everything by Alf Prøysen is good. Eh ... I like Norwegian Christmas songs of course in a different way, because then it tells a story, you understand it in another way than the English, of course – because the Norwegian songs unite at once the child and the adult – everyone knows the message – in addition to the melody... But – then there are – like ‘Let it snow’ – one of those we are singing – there the melody says everything..
H: Mmm. You say, in a way there was Christmas only when you came to Norway – what is the Christmas traditions for you – what kind of Christmas traditions do you have now?
A: mmm – Ribbe! (T: pork ribs – one of the traditional Norwegian Christmas dinners) - that’s the best tradition of them all! No... – use a lot of money for gifts – money I don’t have... (laughs) – so now it is the same here, too – just make a bigger impact..
H: Might be coming some money in, on this... on this...?
A: Yes if I am lucky, we will break even, know what I mean – in this year, I first think.... I could have dragged along a guitarist and a pianoplayer, right – but I rather... as said... Christmas is about giving..
H: So this will be show?
A: Yes, it’s a meeting again with my audience!
H:Mmm. You will use local artists the different places?
A: Yes!
H: Can you tell a little about who we will meet around?
A: Yes it’s like we do this little by little, step by step..- a little strategically ... so we can tell the first... it is a local... a local ‘hope’ from Stavanger, who shall sing in Sandnes – she is called Marijke Wang, a very, very skilled musical star. And then we will have Ingrid Haukland in Trondheim – because that was the nearest to Bodø – where she comes from – I just had to have her with us...
H: Yes you need to tell from where she is known?
A: From X-Factor... Yes – she was ‘out’ there, but not by me! – and it’s actually some more X-factor participants that will be with us..
H: So what other places will you play on this tour?
A: - ooh – I really should know this – but we end the tour in Oslo,... 18th and 19th in Kolbotn, 20th and 21th in Chat Noir, 22nd in Drammen – and before that we have Hamar, Lillehammer, Ålesund, Trondheim, - we have Tønsberg – there will Didrik Solli-Tangen be with us... And then we have Arendal – because now I have... my last concert in Arendal was the only concert that was cancelled with me ever – and that will not happen again! – So now I’ll put together the best team...
H: But after the last concert – then it will be Christmas for you, too?
A: yes, no – it’s now it’s Christmas...- during these concerts – it’s the best of Christmas!
H: Wishing you a lot of luck with the concerts – and thanks for coming here, Alexander Rybak!
A: Thank you - pleasant!

I don't know if anyone else heard this, but I was listening to Radio Norge today, appr. 13.50 - when I heard a familiar voice in a very short interview. It lasted less than a minute and was about "on a cosy Friday night in front of the tv, what would you offer your guests?"
The first answer was "HD-tv!" Then Alexander was asked about the food he would serve, and I don't remember it by heart, but he said something like "even I can shop some chicken, make a sauce - there are so many different good sauces you can buy - and then cook rice or spaghetti."
That was about it :) (I know I shouldn't comment here, but - just wanted to say I agree, I even ate that last night!)

The Grand Prix-hero of Norway, skips Norway.
The winner of the Eurovision 2009, Alexander Rybak, wants to compose for Belarus in the future.
Last year, he participated for Norway and won big-time The ESC with the cheerful song Fairytales
...But now, it is over, with writing songs for Norway, tellsslut med at Alexander Rybak in an interview to norwegian VG.
In the future, he prefers to compose songs for eastern european artists and most wished are artists from the homeland, Belarus.
- I will not participate myself again. It is foolish to try to top yourself. But I would very much like, to be a composer for another artist, says Rybak ,who doesnt fear the reaction from norwegians, when he exchange them for belarussians-
- There are many different opinions on me in Norway. Some will regret, but others will be glad - says the violinist, who is sure that the musical shift to eastern-european is the right thing for him.
But before Alexander Rybak shoots another ESC.-hit out of his sleeve, the violinist, who earlier this year had a nervous breakdown, is going for a Christmas-concert-tour in Norway.
- I wish for audience, as Christmas-present, Rybak says with a smile.

Article in Se og Hør, 4. december 2010. Translated by Laila Ulvseth
Never forget my childhood's Christmas
Here, Alexander Rybak tells us about his private Christmas celebrations.
- I believe everybody has expectations about the perfect Christmas eve - but with us there is always some quarreling and hectic. But that is what makes it so special, says Alexander Rybak.
On Se og Hør's exclusive picture we see him as a 7-year old with daddy Igor Rybak (56) and grandmother Maria Savitskaja (84). This is the first picture of Alexander's first Norwegian Christmas.
- I remember that we had pork ribs for dinner and that I got a lot of presents. Dad and I always had a competition about who got the most presents, he smiles.
Mommy Natalia Rybak (51) adds: - Celebrating Christmas in Norway was very different than in Belarus. Here there were Christmas music and festivities everywhere. As early as the first Christmas here, we decided to make pork ribs for dinner - now this is our tradition too, she smiles at Se og Hør.
- Mom always say that I'm the one who makes the ribs. The truth however is that I am the one to put it in the oven, and take it out, Alexander laughs.
Already the first Christmas eve in Norway, the Rybaks decided to spread their musical joy to the local community. - At that time, Alexander played both violin and piano, and together we played for the Salvation Army. We still do, says Natalia.
- Giving presents to the children was a big issue in Norway. Alexander's first present was a clown playing a lullaby, that he loved very much. To this day it is in his room at Nesodden, mommy smiles.
Today, a common Christmas eve is a hectic day for Alexander. - We get up early. Mom and I like to watch Flåklypa (one of the best animated movies in Norway ever (translators comment)). Dad prefers watching Russian free wrestling.
What the star seldom talks about, is the charity he does. - Later that day we perform some church concerts, before we perform for the homeless at Nesodden. I often play at Radiumhospitalet (Norway's main cancer hospital, situated near Oslo (translater's comment)), and for others with a story that moves me. But I'll never get so cynical as to invite the press to such events. That is too personal, he says, and adds: - Christmas is a reminder that the best things in life is to make others happy!

May 16 last year won Rybak Melodi grand prix in Moscow.
Tour Manager in Oslo, Tor Sannerud, think much of it is that Alexander Rybak has been good advertising Norway.
- Russian television has run hours of programs on Rydbak from Oslo, and we have had many Russian journalists here after he won the finals, "said Sannerud.
-Very stately
Rybak even think it is noble if he has contributed to the tourist flow from Russia.
- It's very nice to hear. I am a multi-cultural person, and to contribute positively in this way is grand, "said Rybak.

Tour boss Rybak gives much of the credit for this also.

May 16 last year won Rybak Melodi grand prix in Moscow.
Tour Manager in Oslo, Tor Sannerud, think much of it is that Alexander Rybak has been good advertising Norway.
- Russian television has run hours of programs on Rydbak from Oslo, and we have had many Russian journalists here after he won the finals, "said Sannerud.
-Very stately
Rybak even think it is noble if he has contributed to the tourist flow from Russia.
- It's very nice to hear. I am a multi-cultural person, and to contribute positively in this way is grand, "said Rybak.
Coming from around the world
It is not only of Russians visiting Oslo to a greater extent than before.
Hotels in the capital have registered an increase of 17 percent, with over 2.5 million overnight stays so far this year.
Tour boss Rybak gives much of the credit for this also.
- We have calculated that around the world, we have had ekponering of Norway at a value of one billion, if we should have been out on the market and bought the same advertising, says tourist chief Sannerud.

I haven't seen before that the song Alexander will sing during the interval segment in Junior Eurovision, is Europe Skies. (But it is an obvious choice because of the new video :)

Ukrainian vacation of Alexander Rybak
He's favorite of millions of girls across Europe and despite on his the big popularity, adores strawberry cocktails, looks at the world childish naive eyes, and smiles so sincerely and openly that you start to believe in fairy tales!
The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest - 2009 Alexander Rybak continues victorious procession across Europe. And Ukraine doesn't remain aside. Despite a busy schedule. Sasha has visited here already, at least three times, and even the small vacation has spent not somewhere and in the Ukrainian capital. The artist in secret has informed "ТК" [The Ukrainian magazine] that prepares a pleasant surprise for the Ukrainian fans this autumn. What? He very much asked not to tell, therefore we only will hint: ahead of Sasha's big tour.
- Sasha, you any more the first time in Ukraine, not the first time in Kiev...
- And feeling such that this the first time. How many time I came? Three? Last year in the autumn I had tour across Ukraine, but the schedule was a very busy: interview, shootings, performances, and weather didn't favor - was very cold. And in the summer came on performance only on three hours. There was no time even to look at Kiev. And now warmly, all smile, girls in skirts.
- This time on a city has taken a walk?
- Yes. Here so beautiful buildings and architecture! Kiev strongly differs from Moscow. There too it’s very beautiful, but, probably, even with an overabundance. And here and buildings, and historical monuments there where it’s suitable, therefore you estimate their beauty much more.
- You were born in Belarus, live in Norway, often now have to tours in the different countries of Europe. You have the favourite city, the favourite country?
- The favourite country - Norway. Because I very well know culture of this state, this nation, it is my family. And in the CIS countries, in Baltic a very interesting to me. I’m inquisitive, to me all is curious: culture, architecture, history monuments. Besides, there people especial, very honest. In Norway, for example, to you always people smile, but it most likely because so is accepted. And at you all goes with all the heart, sincerely. And it is visible an unaided sight. And still, besides Norway and Belarus, I would allocate Finland. Very much I love this country.
- Why this country you like?
- Finland something is similar to Russia. There the same discipline, the same openness and honesty, but thus still the European standard of living and especial, inherent, probably, only to Scandinavians, a positive. Therefore I consider Finland as one of the best countries of the world
-I know, you weren't wished to be approved as the candidate on Eurovision. And you not only have won first place, but also have typed record quantity of points for all history of competition!
- I think, the matter is that people always think in the same way. Think about someone the thought up, nonexistent format. And first of all, it is those "the big bosses", musical producers. When I have presented them my song, they have unanimously declared: «Such by radio now don't broadcast, Sasha! It is all not that. You're a talented guy, of course, but it is too experimental. And if you also will play a violin, it in general will be silly to look. You would better a ballad any perform.» But I haven't listened to them and went with the song Fairytale - and won. And in National selection for Eurovision in Norway I too had an absolute record: I have received 900 thousand voices, and at the girl who have taken the second place, received 80 thousand And I very much respect such competitions as "Eurovision" because thanking to it discovers many talented artists. And why? Because there decides the viewer, not producers.
- Last year you were a guest at the finals of competition...
- … «Got talent Ukraine's»
- Right. Did you like it?
- Oh, yes. I was amazed. When flying to Kiev has looked in the plane at some releases of this program, and then came up to each participant and told my opinion on their perfomance. And they were surprised, whence I know them. I really liked the girl who draw sand. But her performance,more likely,admired than touched me. And else the guy was ridiculous which copied me.
- You very much were surprised that need to sing to the sound recording (phonogram), and even have openly told about it from a stage.
- Well, yes. But, as far as I know, only I had to sing to the sound recording, all other participants were singing live.
- You're against the phonogram?
- Of course, I prefer to work with live sound, but sometimes teleshows ask to sing with phonogram, and I don't see in it anything terrible. It’s practiced. Just think that an artist need know exactly how to work, with phonogram or without it. I was told before the performance: «Sasha, excuse, but we don't have time to check up your voice, rebuild a sound, so it will be the phonogram.» I had nothing against, here only when sang, except the my of voice in phonogram, distinctly heard the second voice, because the microphone has appeared included, and it is very strange and wrong. That's why I asked the presenter: "And how I all the same sang? Live or with phonogram?" (laughs)
- Was rumored that you recorded a duet with Dima Bilan. Is this true?
- Nothing recorded. At least for now.
- Are you planning?
- Maybe. It would be nice. But, honestly , I would like to sing a duet with Ani Lorak much more. I like her very much. She's such fine fellow. She has an amazing voice. She's wonderful artist. However, I still have other plans.
- And after your victory at the Eurovision you have repeatedly said that you wanted to be like Dima Bilan. Why?
- I any more don't remember, why so said...
- I can remember. "Because he's 100 % European artist."
- Ah! If so, then yes. I would like, the same ambitions For example, I currently "settled" in Scandinavia and the CIS. My second album was released in 25 countries, and for me it's enough. I have enough fame and popularity, and fans. On something more just no time. But Dima continues to conquer new territory. Now he's in America seeks to become popular. I very much respect it.
- Lena Meyer after winning the Eurovision Song Contest - 2010 stated that you have a romantic relationship for 3 years and she has taken from you a marriage proposal ...
- No-no-no (laughs)… It was necessary to see, how she it has told, with what face... She joked. I too sometimes joking, and the press accepts all my words for truth. I have met Lena for the first time this year on "Eurovision". Almost in love ...
- Why "almost"?
- Because she's only four days there was. Lena asked at me advice. I certainly tried to help her: said how to look at the camera, how to behave on stage and so on. We close rub shoulders with her in time of Eurovision days and on a TV show for the German channel even performed together one of her songs: Lena sang, and I played a violin. I liked her very much, but no more.
- Sasha, in Sweden on the entertainment TV show "Lotta på Liseberg" directly during your perfomance you ... broken violin. Why?
- (Laughs). Yes, it was. Last months were for me very difficult, the working schedule has been loaded to a limit. Sometimes in day it was necessary to perform on some concerts, and this all nerves, an overabundance of emotions. I would not go into details as to why this happened: let bygones be bygones. Just that day I have accumulated a lot of problems. You can consider that it was a nervous breakdown. By the way, when I smashed the violin, I immediately feel better, and the problems have receded.
- Hence, the Japanese are right that in their offices equips special rooms where to relieve stress can beat...
- … violins (laughs)?
- No. Dishes.
- It’s a very correct practice.
- Sasha, the main character of the animated film " How to train your dragon" speaks your voice...
- Yes, but in Norway. I was offered to voice it, and in Russia, but I refused. I very badly speak in Russian (he's obviously modest! – Note of «TK»). I immediately said: "Thank you very much for your suggestion, but what I'm a popular man does not mean that I am suited to this role."
- Nevertheless you tried done it?
- In Norway the cartoon voiced for 3 days, although were given three weeks. In Russia the plan was the same, three weeks too. But for day we voiced a maximum of 5 minutes because of my accent. But even after 20-30 attempts the voice became correct only mechanically. Wasn't no soul, no intonation. In general, if me to ask on what language I speak most easily, then I would answer that, first of all, in Norwegian, then English, and only then ... but no, then in Swedish and then in Russian. So it was necessary to refuse.
- And the main character of an cartoon, Hiccup, is similar to you.
- Yes. I know. And who is ultimately in Russia voiced his?
- I don't know. We had a Ukrainian dubbing.
- You see, it's good, that I haven't voiced it, you would not have got it with my voice.
- You recently recorded a duet with Norwegian rappers on the song Fela Igjen. Who was the initiator?
- Who? It’s my song. At us in Norway it isn't accepted, that someone offers, you need think of themselves yourself. I invited them [rappers]. They are my friends. They are still unpopular . We've recorded together, not only song but also video.
- Which, judging by the internet, shocked your fans…
- I don't know how here, but in Norway, I lost part of the fans, it's true. But I've also got new fans. You can hide some of your sides, to work in the style in which all used to see you and hear, but you can also strive to something new, develop, experiment. Yes, I lost part of my fans, but now I know for sure that those who remain, truly love my work.
- In what style would also like to try yourself?
- In my new album «No Boundaries»,every song – a special style. There are songs in the style of rap, musicals, hard rock, pop, country and ballads. I just realized that my audience is not young - they are very young, and I want somehow develop them. And I can do this by showing different kinds of music through my songs.
- You acted in the high-budget film in Norway «Yohan – Barnevandrer». Did you liked to work at movie?
- I played the gipsy fiddler, and my father was the ex-soloist of group A-Ha, Morten Harket. Always such roles find me: the gipsy, the Jew, the Moslem. Why? Enigma! (laughs) So when to me have suggested to play the gipsy, I was not surprised. I was curious not only get used to the character, but and to supplement it with something interesting from myself.
- Admit, that you never would began to do?
- To risk life.
- Are you not an extreme person?
- Why. I love extreme. With pleasure I am engaged in windsurfing. But I think that in extreme you never must lose your head. When I know that my mom can now be deprived of her only son just because he took it into his head to jump , say, from a height of 20 meters with a snowboard, I definitely say no. For me the more interesting live than to risk.
- Do you know any words in Ukrainian?
- Yes (smiles). Last year I learned bit Ukrainian. I know how to say: « I am very pleased to be in Ukraine» and «thanks». I can else read in Ukrainian, but the talk is not very good.
In the red box:
Interesting facts about the musician:
- Was born in a musical family: mother Natalia Valentinovna - the pianist, father Igor Aleksandrovich - the fiddler, grandmother Maria Borisovna - the teacher in musical school.

26. 10. 2010,
Alexander Rybak - No Boundaries
Probably the sweetest Norwegian on the globe is back. We met him in May 2009 when he won Eurosong and in the history of the competition he enrolled with a record number of points. At that time, however, he had consecutive appearances in theatrical performances in Fiddler on the Roof, Operahouse in Oslo, and the Norwegian received the highest theater award. Such a big prize, at such a young age? No wonder. Alex grew up in a family of musicians - his mother played the violin, and the father is a pianist and after the family moved from Belarus to Norway, young Alex Rybak started the music fully.
Perhaps Rybak would be still a local star, if not Eurosong. But his "Fairy tale" changed his life in a real fairy tale. Dozens of concerts, many enthusiastic fans, great sale of his album, which was distributed to 25 countries (a pity that it did not find the way to us), and this spring his debut brought him the "Norwegian Grammy” in the category Artist of the Year. At the end of August Rybak presented home in Norway, his second album, which should confirm his qualities and the fact that everything that has happened after for Eurosong, was not only a coincidence washed by the competition.
After a series of his music fairytales, Rybak comes with a virtually no boundaries album. He is already far from the fearful and shy boy, who enjoys slow songs, because in them he can hide behind his feelings. Those ultimately did the most damage. On his debut plate there were too much of them and although his thundering voice sounds perfect in them, listeners expected something else. Fortunately, I am pleased to note that Rybak comes in his “two” with much more dynamic and more mature material, which not only confirmed his star status, but mainly confirms his talent, professionalism and the fact that this boy might not benefit from his sweet face, which at least for some time the whole world succumbed, but that he can sell himself as a singer, musician, composer, producer and arranger.
Probably with a sign of his second album, Rybak comes with really no-boundaries album. As some of the songs have a "geographic" character, I thought it was a reference to this fact. Immediately after the first hearing it was clear that in this case it means more boundlessness of musical genres, as Rybak presents really many of them on his second album. And fortunately, dare I say that from eleven cases the boy slashed only twice, or more precisely, two songs on this CD are useless, but I would not dare to say, that it is just cotton. Rybak´s second one is very powerful, very emotional and very good album.
At the beginning, the singer launches a dose of waltz-style rhythms and song First Kiss becomes more serious excavation of pleasant surprise and maybe a little confusing, but nevertheless very successfully leads the listener to the next song. Very, very good start. Europe's Skies is the second single from Rybak´s second one and it had its premiere on 13th October. Readers of musicserver.sk were among the first hundred who could see it exclusively. This song is a confession to the countries that Alex loves and its foundations arose at Crimea. There is even a Russian version. It's a very good tip for a single, because what the listener's catchy ear concerns, this is a clear favorite and it is a song that has the closest yet to the greatest Rybak´s hit Fairytale. If not those below-average female vocals, we could talk about top 3 best songs on the album.
However, it is wonder how a musician can slide from the heights of the great hit to the bottom of slushy ditch. The third song on the album is the song I'm In Love, which is actually a cover version, from which Rybak, as an arranger of the whole his album, tried to make a great dance hit. Unfortunately, it was of very abortive German dance refrain from the end of the eighties, or kitschy style 'disco polo' - our northern neighbors would be able to tell about it. This is simply wasted chance. This song should appear on the enlarged version of the album in the bonus section, or even better as the last B-side single from the plate. It is the first of three songs on which Rybak did not participate as an author and also the first song in which Rybak did not use his beloved violin.
Probably no harm to clarify that Rybak´s guides in the infinite path are three violinists and vocalists Moa Meinich, Maria Slyngstad and Katherine Hvinden Hals and Norwegian singer devoted a song to each of them. Moa enjoys song Oah, which also became the first official single and it is accompanied with nice and funny video clip from school benches. Little unpleasant surprise (but one can get used to it) is fantastic vocal onset and subsequent transformation of the song to song with a lot of clearly country elements, what is quite shocking, because after acoustically perfect chorus there comes American cotton and this is precisely the moment when the listener begins to wonder if the young Norwegian did not apply too many ingredients into his new album.. We are not even in the middle, but now I can say that he did not.
After that, Rybak tries to stabilize. Although to the fifth position he set the letter he had received from a fan, and he let the little Norwegian girl read it and even so tricky, that although it is fifth track, it starts at the end of previous song and ends at the relative beginning of the next song, but after that comes series from another genre yet.
With songs 5000 letters, Dare I Say and that further one Rybak pleases those, who are used to his slow songs from his previous album, where there were really plenty of them and prevailed other creations.
In this case, Rybak in fact changed the style; he is much more dynamic and tries to balance fast and slow songs. The series of three slow songs comes after panoply of fast songs and I have a feeling that it is eagerly awaited.
The song 5000 letters is a beautiful slow song, in which Rybak´s phenomenal voice sounds perfectly and it is perfect song, which I would play as a lullaby, and I mean it sincerely and in good. In the same vein there is the song Dare I Say, in which the perfect listening experience spoils only girls-vocals who neither solo nor jointly are good enough to assist to Rybak´s voice. The young singer must realize, that the three blond girls, although they are cute, they can play violin, they can even sing, but their voices are not stronger than of crowing hens, are not necessary for him.
Trinity of slow songs concludes perhaps the strongest, the best and just TOP song of the album. I confess that when I first heard Suomi, I shivered down my back and completely out of everything I remembered Tom Cruise, but his daughter is still called Suri. When listening to text I realized that Rybak does not pay tribute to any woman, but to the country he loves and I suppose the Finns, whom this song is devoted, will love the boy forever. Suomi is a beautiful ballad, which slow part passes into a dramatic chorus, which is arranged as Dieter Bohlen did it in 1986, but it does not hinder, because I feel like it was the intention. If you listen to the parts around the chorus, it is clear to you, that Rybak would easily manage to arrange it as a “non-roundabout” chorus. And it is exactly not a “roundabout”- It is more the way of expression of the artist and his expression of ravine. Suomi is definitely my favorite.
And there is still not the end of genres, because Rybak in the next song Why Not Me? shows himself as a rocker, or more punker, who seems to get along with those raving artists, as the band The Offspring and many others. Guitars, one rhythm and a lot of fuss. If nothing else, it's certainly cute. Moreover, rock simply suits to this "Norwegian shepherd”. I do not understand only the final applause, which is a kind of bridge to the next song. It's an instrumental song Barndance and it's actually an instrumental country, which I would definitely not miss on Rybak´s album.
The end of the album is romantic and sweet. To the song Disney Girls the singer borrowed motives from Disney fairytales, to which he stuck on the music and created almost fairytale-single Disney Girls, which closes the album.
And we have come to the end of the analysis of the new album of Alexander Rybak. The boy has really matured through the year, he has organized in his head, what he wants to do and he tries to transform it into songs. It depends only on him and on the skills of his management, how they manage to push him forward, how they manage to sell him. Because this boy has a potential to become a star and his new album is a clear evidence of it. To make this work, however, it could not be such a chaos around him – I do not understand by now, why his album is issued by another publisher in some countries than in other countries, and definitely not, why our market behaves so skeptical to the winners of Eurosong, and in fact they are not distributed for us. Rybak is a unique appearance, who without doubt will enter the group of such stars as ABBA or Celine Dion, who shone on the festival and who are stars by now. Alex is not that one-year-star, who when he is replaced by some German-girl next year, must necessarily die.
If you want to make sure about it, you do not need hunt for foreign music stores. I found one in Slovakia and the album is offered in a relatively decent price and with a surprisingly short time of delivery. You can find the album cheaper abroad on the net, but you have to count the more expensive postage. Otherwise, I thank to that Slovak market and I want to believe, that it is the first sign, that when Rybak starts the tour to his new album next year, he will stop on his way, for example from Poland where he has become a real star, also in Slovakia.

According to the review of Didrik Solli Tangen's album "Guilty pleasures" in todays VG, one of the songs is written by Alexander Rybak - "You". I haven't heard the album yet, so that's all I know.
One paragraph of the review translated: - The most bouncing song on the album, "You" is written by Alexander Rybak, and both the naive lyrics and the melody is a tell-tale.

Thank you so much Yannis, for posting Matilda Sevelin's video of Alex performing the Liebesleid of Fritz Kreisler at the memorial for Piotr Janowski - and please forgive me for explaining at some length why it is so moving to hear this example of the lineage of great violinists carried down to the present day.
As I am sure Yannis knows, Piotr Janowski was an incredibly talented Polish born violinist, and we are very proud that he was a citizen of the US as well as Poland. He was a young prodigy, and came here to Los Angeles when he was about the age Alex is now, to study violin with the great Jascha Heifetz at USC. Janowski went on to perform and teach master classes all over the world before dying far too young, at the age of 57.
The famous Jascha Heifetz took Piotr Janowski as a private student in 1975, but his own solo violinist career had started much earlier. Heifetz was a child of twelve playing violin to great acclaim when Fritz Kreisler first accompanied him on the piano. Kreisler himself was one of the most beloved of violinists, and composed Liebesleid as a showpiece for himself on violin, with piano accompaniment.
The song Liebesleid was published 100 years ago in 1910, and we can trace a direct line from the composer Fritz Kreisler, to Jascha Heifetz, to Piotr Janowski, and now to our Alex.
Hope you all enjoy this little story behind the scene, and happy 140,000! :)))

Ukrainian vacation of Alexander Rybak
He's favorite of millions of girls across Europe and despite on his the big popularity, adores strawberry cocktails, looks at the world childish naive eyes, and smiles so sincerely and openly that you start to believe in fairy tales!
The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest - 2009 Alexander Rybak continues victorious procession across Europe. And Ukraine doesn't remain aside. Despite a busy schedule. Sasha has visited here already, at least three times, and even the small vacation has spent not somewhere and in the Ukrainian capital. The artist in secret has informed "ТК" [The Ukrainian magazine] that prepares a pleasant surprise for the Ukrainian fans this autumn. What? He very much asked not to tell, therefore we only will hint: ahead of Sasha's big tour.
- Sasha, you any more the first time in Ukraine, not the first time in Kiev...
- And feeling such that this the first time. How many time I came? Three? Last year in the autumn I had tour across Ukraine, but the schedule was a very busy: interview, shootings, performances, and weather didn't favor - was very cold. And in the summer came on performance only on three hours. There was no time even to look at Kiev. And now warmly, all smile, girls in skirts.
- This time on a city has taken a walk?
- Yes. Here so beautiful buildings and architecture! Kiev strongly differs from Moscow. There too it’s very beautiful, but, probably, even with an overabundance. And here and buildings, and historical monuments there where it’s suitable, therefore you estimate their beauty much more.
- You were born in Belarus, live in Norway, often now have to tours in the different countries of Europe. You have the favourite city, the favourite country?
- The favourite country - Norway. Because I very well know culture of this state, this nation, it is my family. And in the CIS countries, in Baltic a very interesting to me. I’m inquisitive, to me all is curious: culture, architecture, history monuments. Besides, there people especial, very honest. In Norway, for example, to you always people smile, but it most likely because so is accepted. And at you all goes with all the heart, sincerely. And it is visible an unaided sight. And still, besides Norway and Belarus, I would allocate Finland. Very much I love this country.
- Why this country you like?
- Finland something is similar to Russia. There the same discipline, the same openness and honesty, but thus still the European standard of living and especial, inherent, probably, only to Scandinavians, a positive. Therefore I consider Finland as one of the best countries of the world
-I know, you weren't wished to be approved as the candidate on Eurovision. And you not only have won first place, but also have typed record quantity of points for all history of competition!
- I think, the matter is that people always think in the same way. Think about someone the thought up, nonexistent format. And first of all, it is those "the big bosses", musical producers. When I have presented them my song, they have unanimously declared: «Such by radio now don't broadcast, Sasha! It is all not that. You're a talented guy, of course, but it is too experimental. And if you also will play a violin, it in general will be silly to look. You would better a ballad any perform.» But I haven't listened to them and went with the song Fairytale - and won. And in National selection for Eurovision in Norway I too had an absolute record: I have received 900 thousand voices, and at the girl who have taken the second place, received 80 thousand And I very much respect such competitions as "Eurovision" because thanking to it discovers many talented artists. And why? Because there decides the viewer, not producers.
- Last year you were a guest at the finals of competition...
- … «Got talent Ukraine's»
- Right. Did you like it?
- Oh, yes. I was amazed. When flying to Kiev has looked in the plane at some releases of this program, and then came up to each participant and told my opinion on their perfomance. And they were surprised, whence I know them. I really liked the girl who draw sand. But her performance,more likely,admired than touched me. And else the guy was ridiculous which copied me.
- You very much were surprised that need to sing to the sound recording (phonogram), and even have openly told about it from a stage.
- Well, yes. But, as far as I know, only I had to sing to the sound recording, all other participants were singing live.
- You're against the phonogram?
- Of course, I prefer to work with live sound, but sometimes teleshows ask to sing with phonogram, and I don't see in it anything terrible. It’s practiced. Just think that an artist need know exactly how to work, with phonogram or without it. I was told before the performance: «Sasha, excuse, but we don't have time to check up your voice, rebuild a sound, so it will be the phonogram.» I had nothing against, here only when sang, except the my of voice in phonogram, distinctly heard the second voice, because the microphone has appeared included, and it is very strange and wrong. That's why I asked the presenter: "And how I all the same sang? Live or with phonogram?" (laughs)
- Was rumored that you recorded a duet with Dima Bilan. Is this true?
- Nothing recorded. At least for now.
- Are you planning?
- Maybe. It would be nice. But, honestly , I would like to sing a duet with Ani Lorak much more. I like her very much. She's such fine fellow. She has an amazing voice. She's wonderful artist. However, I still have other plans.
- And after your victory at the Eurovision you have repeatedly said that you wanted to be like Dima Bilan. Why?
- I any more don't remember, why so said...
- I can remember. "Because he's 100 % European artist."
- Ah! If so, then yes. I would like, the same ambitions For example, I currently "settled" in Scandinavia and the CIS. My second album was released in 25 countries, and for me it's enough. I have enough fame and popularity, and fans. On something more just no time. But Dima continues to conquer new territory. Now he's in America seeks to become popular. I very much respect it.
- Lena Meyer after winning the Eurovision Song Contest - 2010 stated that you have a romantic relationship for 3 years and she has taken from you a marriage proposal ...
- No-no-no (laughs)… It was necessary to see, how she it has told, with what face... She joked. I too sometimes joking, and the press accepts all my words for truth. I have met Lena for the first time this year on "Eurovision". Almost in love ...
- Why "almost"?
- Because she's only four days there was. Lena asked at me advice. I certainly tried to help her: said how to look at the camera, how to behave on stage and so on. We close rub shoulders with her in time of Eurovision days and on a TV show for the German channel even performed together one of her songs: Lena sang, and I played a violin. I liked her very much, but no more.
- Sasha, in Sweden on the entertainment TV show "Lotta på Liseberg" directly during your perfomance you ... broken violin. Why?
- (Laughs). Yes, it was. Last months were for me very difficult, the working schedule has been loaded to a limit. Sometimes in day it was necessary to perform on some concerts, and this all nerves, an overabundance of emotions. I would not go into details as to why this happened: let bygones be bygones. Just that day I have accumulated a lot of problems. You can consider that it was a nervous breakdown. By the way, when I smashed the violin, I immediately feel better, and the problems have receded.
- Hence, the Japanese are right that in their offices equips special rooms where to relieve stress can beat...
- … violins (laughs)?
- No. Dishes.
- It’s a very correct practice.
- Sasha, the main character of the animated film " How to train your dragon" speaks your voice...
- Yes, but in Norway. I was offered to voice it, and in Russia, but I refused. I very badly speak in Russian (he's obviously modest! – Note of «TK»). I immediately said: "Thank you very much for your suggestion, but what I'm a popular man does not mean that I am suited to this role."
- Nevertheless you tried done it?
- In Norway the cartoon voiced for 3 days, although were given three weeks. In Russia the plan was the same, three weeks too. But for day we voiced a maximum of 5 minutes because of my accent. But even after 20-30 attempts the voice became correct only mechanically. Wasn't no soul, no intonation. In general, if me to ask on what language I speak most easily, then I would answer that, first of all, in Norwegian, then English, and only then ... but no, then in Swedish and then in Russian. So it was necessary to refuse.
- And the main character of an cartoon, Hiccup, is similar to you.
- Yes. I know. And who is ultimately in Russia voiced his?
- I don't know. We had a Ukrainian dubbing.
- You see, it's good, that I haven't voiced it, you would not have got it with my voice.
- You recently recorded a duet with Norwegian rappers on the song Fela Igjen. Who was the initiator?
- Who? It’s my song. At us in Norway it isn't accepted, that someone offers, you need think of themselves yourself. I invited them [rappers]. They are my friends. They are still unpopular . We've recorded together, not only song but also video.
- Which, judging by the internet, shocked your fans…
- I don't know how here, but in Norway, I lost part of the fans, it's true. But I've also got new fans. You can hide some of your sides, to work in the style in which all used to see you and hear, but you can also strive to something new, develop, experiment. Yes, I lost part of my fans, but now I know for sure that those who remain, truly love my work.
- In what style would also like to try yourself?
- In my new album «No Boundaries»,every song – a special style. There are songs in the style of rap, musicals, hard rock, pop, country and ballads. I just realized that my audience is not young - they are very young, and I want somehow develop them. And I can do this by showing different kinds of music through my songs.
- You acted in the high-budget film in Norway «Yohan – Barnevandrer». Did you liked to work at movie?
- I played the gipsy fiddler, and my father was the ex-soloist of group A-Ha, Morten Harket. Always such roles find me: the gipsy, the Jew, the Moslem. Why? Enigma! (laughs) So when to me have suggested to play the gipsy, I was not surprised. I was curious not only get used to the character, but and to supplement it with something interesting from myself.
- Admit, that you never would began to do?
- To risk life.
- Are you not an extreme person?
- Why. I love extreme. With pleasure I am engaged in windsurfing. But I think that in extreme you never must lose your head. When I know that my mom can now be deprived of her only son just because he took it into his head to jump , say, from a height of 20 meters with a snowboard, I definitely say no. For me the more interesting live than to risk.
- Do you know any words in Ukrainian?
- Yes (smiles). Last year I learned bit Ukrainian. I know how to say: « I am very pleased to be in Ukraine» and «thanks». I can else read in Ukrainian, but the talk is not very good.
In the red box:
Interesting facts about the musician:
- Was born in a musical family: mother Natalia Valentinovna - the pianist, father Igor Aleksandrovich - the fiddler, grandmother Maria Borisovna - the teacher in musical school.
- Idols: Michael Jackson, Sting, Blink 182.
- Mascot of Sasha - cufflinks with an image of his violin.

New review of No Boundaries on Slovak Music-server.
Very, very interesting! Although the author mixed some facts, it is really unique - and the author surely listened to the album and is informed quite well !!!
(since the google does not allow me to translate the page and the google translation of the text sucked a big time, I tried to correct it a bit to make it a bit more understandable)
http://music.server.sk/recenzie/detail/45192-alexander-rybak-no-boundaries/#none
26. 10. 2010,
Alexander Rybak - No Boundaries
Probably the sweetest Norwegian on the globe is back. We met him in May 2009 when he won Eurosong and in the history of the competition he enrolled with a record number of points. At that time, however, he had consecutive appearances in theatrical performances in Fiddler on the Roof, Operahouse in Oslo, and the Norwegian received the highest theater award. Such a big prize, at such a young age? No wonder. Alex grew up in a family of musicians - his mother played the violin, and the father is a pianist and after the family moved from Belarus to Norway, young Alex Rybak started the music fully.
Perhaps Rybak would be still a local star, if not Eurosong. But his "Fairy tale" changed his life in a real fairy tale. Dozens of concerts, many enthusiastic fans, great sale of his album, which was distributed to 25 countries (a pity that it did not find the way to us), and this spring his debut brought him the "Norwegian Grammy” in the category Artist of the Year. At the end of August Rybak presented home in Norway, his second album, which should confirm his qualities and the fact that everything that has happened after for Eurosong, was not only a coincidence washed by the competition.
After a series of his music fairytales, Rybak comes with a virtually no boundaries album. He is already far from the fearful and shy boy, who enjoys slow songs, because in them he can hide behind his feelings. Those ultimately did the most damage. On his debut plate there were too much of them and although his thundering voice sounds perfect in them, listeners expected something else. Fortunately, I am pleased to note that Rybak comes in his “two” with much more dynamic and more mature material, which not only confirmed his star status, but mainly confirms his talent, professionalism and the fact that this boy might not benefit from his sweet face, which at least for some time the whole world succumbed, but that he can sell himself as a singer, musician, composer, producer and arranger.
Probably with a sign of his second album, Rybak comes with really no-boundaries album. As some of the songs have a "geographic" character, I thought it was a reference to this fact. Immediately after the first hearing it was clear that in this case it means more boundlessness of musical genres, as Rybak presents really many of them on his second album. And fortunately, dare I say that from eleven cases the boy slashed only twice, or more precisely, two songs on this CD are useless, but I would not dare to say, that it is just cotton. Rybak´s second one is very powerful, very emotional and very good album.
At the beginning, the singer launches a dose of waltz-style rhythms and song First Kiss becomes more serious excavation of pleasant surprise and maybe a little confusing, but nevertheless very successfully leads the listener to the next song. Very, very good start. Europe's Skies is the second single from Rybak´s second one and it had its premiere on 13th October. Readers of musicserver.sk were among the first hundred who could see it exclusively. This song is a confession to the countries that Alex loves and its foundations arose at Crimea. There is even a Russian version. It's a very good tip for a single, because what the listener's catchy ear concerns, this is a clear favorite and it is a song that has the closest yet to the greatest Rybak´s hit Fairytale. If not those below-average female vocals, we could talk about top 3 best songs on the album.
However, it is wonder how a musician can slide from the heights of the great hit to the bottom of slushy ditch. The third song on the album is the song I'm In Love, which is actually a cover version, from which Rybak, as an arranger of the whole his album, tried to make a great dance hit. Unfortunately, it was of very abortive German dance refrain from the end of the eighties, or kitschy style 'disco polo' - our northern neighbors would be able to tell about it. This is simply wasted chance. This song should appear on the enlarged version of the album in the bonus section, or even better as the last B-side single from the plate. It is the first of three songs on which Rybak did not participate as an author and also the first song in which Rybak did not use his beloved violin.
Probably no harm to clarify that Rybak´s guides in the infinite path are three violinists and vocalists Moa Meinich, Maria Slyngstad and Katherine Hvinden Hals and Norwegian singer devoted a song to each of them. Moa enjoys song Oah, which also became the first official single and it is accompanied with nice and funny video clip from school benches. Little unpleasant surprise (but one can get used to it) is fantastic vocal onset and subsequent transformation of the song to song with a lot of clearly country elements, what is quite shocking, because after acoustically perfect chorus there comes American cotton and this is precisely the moment when the listener begins to wonder if the young Norwegian did not apply too many ingredients into his new album.. We are not even in the middle, but now I can say that he did not.
After that, Rybak tries to stabilize. Although to the fifth position he set the letter he had received from a fan, and he let the little Norwegian girl read it and even so tricky, that although it is fifth track, it starts at the end of previous song and ends at the relative beginning of the next song, but after that comes series from another genre yet.
With songs 5000 letters, Dare I Say and that further one Rybak pleases those, who are used to his slow songs from his previous album, where there were really plenty of them and prevailed other creations.
In this case, Rybak in fact changed the style; he is much more dynamic and tries to balance fast and slow songs. The series of three slow songs comes after panoply of fast songs and I have a feeling that it is eagerly awaited.
The song 5000 letters is a beautiful slow song, in which Rybak´s phenomenal voice sounds perfectly and it is perfect song, which I would play as a lullaby, and I mean it sincerely and in good. In the same vein there is the song Dare I Say, in which the perfect listening experience spoils only girls-vocals who neither solo nor jointly are good enough to assist to Rybak´s voice. The young singer must realize, that the three blond girls, although they are cute, they can play violin, they can even sing, but their voices are not stronger than of crowing hens, are not necessary for him.
Trinity of slow songs concludes perhaps the strongest, the best and just TOP song of the album. I confess that when I first heard Suomi, I shivered down my back and completely out of everything I remembered Tom Cruise, but his daughter is still called Suri. When listening to text I realized that Rybak does not pay tribute to any woman, but to the country he loves and I suppose the Finns, whom this song is devoted, will love the boy forever. Suomi is a beautiful ballad, which slow part passes into a dramatic chorus, which is arranged as Dieter Bohlen did it in 1986, but it does not hinder, because I feel like it was the intention. If you listen to the parts around the chorus, it is clear to you, that Rybak would easily manage to arrange it as a “non-roundabout” chorus. And it is exactly not a “roundabout”- It is more the way of expression of the artist and his expression of ravine. Suomi is definitely my favorite.
And there is still not the end of genres, because Rybak in the next song Why Not Me? shows himself as a rocker, or more punker, who seems to get along with those raving artists, as the band The Offspring and many others. Guitars, one rhythm and a lot of fuss. If nothing else, it's certainly cute. Moreover, rock simply suits to this "Norwegian shepherd”. I do not understand only the final applause, which is a kind of bridge to the next song. It's an instrumental song Barndance and it's actually an instrumental country, which I would definitely not miss on Rybak´s album.
The end of the album is romantic and sweet. To the song Disney Girls the singer borrowed motives from Disney fairytales, to which he stuck on the music and created almost fairytale-single Disney Girls, which closes the album.
And we have come to the end of the analysis of the new album of Alexander Rybak. The boy has really matured through the year, he has organized in his head, what he wants to do and he tries to transform it into songs. It depends only on him and on the skills of his management, how they manage to push him forward, how they manage to sell him. Because this boy has a potential to become a star and his new album is a clear evidence of it. To make this work, however, it could not be such a chaos around him – I do not understand by now, why his album is issued by another publisher in some countries than in other countries, and definitely not, why our market behaves so skeptical to the winners of Eurosong, and in fact they are not distributed for us. Rybak is a unique appearance, who without doubt will enter the group of such stars as ABBA or Celine Dion, who shone on the festival and who are stars by now. Alex is not that one-year-star, who when he is replaced by some German-girl next year, must necessarily die.
If you want to make sure about it, you do not need hunt for foreign music stores. I found one in Slovakia and the album is offered in a relatively decent price and with a surprisingly short time of delivery. You can find the album cheaper abroad on the net, but you have to count the more expensive postage. Otherwise, I thank to that Slovak market and I want to believe, that it is the first sign, that when Rybak starts the tour to his new album next year, he will stop on his way, for example from Poland where he has become a real star, also in Slovakia.

According to the review of Didrik Solli Tangen's album "Guilty pleasures" in todays VG, one of the songs is written by Alexander Rybak - "You". I haven't heard the album yet, so that's all I know.
One paragraph of the review translated: - The most bouncing song on the album, "You" is written by Alexander Rybak, and both the naive lyrics and the melody is a tell-tale.

Thank you so much Yannis, for posting Matilda Sevelin's video of Alex performing the Liebesleid of Fritz Kreisler at the memorial for Piotr Janowski - and please forgive me for explaining at some length why it is so moving to hear this example of the lineage of great violinists carried down to the present day.
As I am sure Yannis knows, Piotr Janowski was an incredibly talented Polish born violinist, and we are very proud that he was a citizen of the US as well as Poland. He was a young prodigy, and came here to Los Angeles when he was about the age Alex is now, to study violin with the great Jascha Heifetz at USC. Janowski went on to perform and teach master classes all over the world before dying far too young, at the age of 57.
The famous Jascha Heifetz took Piotr Janowski as a private student in 1975, but his own solo violinist career had started much earlier. Heifetz was a child of twelve playing violin to great acclaim when Fritz Kreisler first accompanied him on the piano. Kreisler himself was one of the most beloved of violinists, and composed Liebesleid as a showpiece for himself on violin, with piano accompaniment.
The song Liebesleid was published 100 years ago in 1910, and we can trace a direct line from the composer Fritz Kreisler, to Jascha Heifetz, to Piotr Janowski, and now to our Alex.
Hope you all enjoy this little story behind the scene, and happy 140,000! :)))
