On October 26, 2009, a Monday night, Stephanie and I traveled to Malmo (just a half hour train ride from Copenhagen) to see Alexander Rybak perform! Somehow, we landed tickets on the second row, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The performance was incredible, and Alexander is actually really talented with his violin, despite claims that he is just a europopstar. It is the europopstar part of him that I love, though! He was a charming performer, and really worked the head shakes and backbends that are so prevalent in his performance of his hit single, "Fairytale."
Winner of this year's Eurovision song contest, Alexander's parents are from Russia and has lived in Norway his whole life. Therefore, his fan pool is concentrated in Scandinavia and eastern Europe, but there are American girls who love him too :)
You can see some of the snapshots I got of him on facebook, but here are some videos I took if you're interested (or if you want to witness his mannerisms)! Note: I had a lot of trouble uploading them, so I apologize for the poor quality...
You MUST watch this one the whole way through... the look he shoots at the end is to die for
fairytale!!!
Loves,
kristina
