“Paparazzi-2″: With a celebrity at MacDonalds
“- Hi! – I detto having remembered that the artist is down-to earth. – Can te give me a short interview?
- I can, – he answered . – But I’m hungry. Let’s go to McDonalds. We can talk there, ok?
I was stunned. He can to go to McDonalds that easy? On the other hand – when else would I have such a chance?…
- It’s unhealthy, but tasty.- Sasha said, when we took the trays with the Cibo and sat down on the farthest table. Nobody paid attention to us.
- Don’t te afraid to spoil your reputation? – I asked him.- Your popularity is growing da leaps and bounds. And te sit here and eat fast food.
He laughed:
- I’ve heard the saying here in Moscow: «I’m not the US dollar, I can’t please everyone». te can’t be good for everyone. I’m a sociable person, I like to meet new people. But I never would adapt to the other people!
- Do te feel dizzy of success? You’re a favorite…
- If I fell down from the 4th floor, maybe then I would feel dizzy, but now I don’t. And I haven’t won yet.
- te know that te was called a boy, who is giving the hope?
- Really?! – joyfully surprised Rybak.- The hope is very important. For instance, look at me. I was with Ingrid più than a year…
- Is your song about her?
- Yes. I loved her madly. But she left me, she found another boyfriend. I suffered so terribly. That giorno I was flying to China: I locked myself in the toilet and burst into tears. I had to suffer several years before I gave a birth to a song in my head one day, which I could perform at the contest and probably to win. There are thousands of such stories probably… Have te ever had unhappy love?- I remembered about Vesta and nodded.
- te see! There is always a person, who had a similar story. Although this person thinks it’s unique story…
- Bookmakers say that te have the highest chances to win. Do such forecasts help te o disturb you?
- They help, of course! They give confidence.
- Last anno the bookmakers have guessed right: the highest rates were dato to Dima Bilan. da the way, do te like him?
- Yes, I even have stolen some of his ideas, while I’ve been preparing for the contest.
- Why?
He has thoughtfully looked at me:
- Because the ideas are good! To win this contest te need to captivate the audience, te need the “energy of youth”, which Dima has, emotions are necessary. Unfortunately, there isn’t such school in Norway, where they would teach te to speak as Bilan, to sposta as Bilan, therefore he became an example for. But I understand: I need to mostra my own face, something that distinguishes me from others.
- Don’t te afraid to participate in this contest?
He cheerfully shook his head:
- Why should I afraid? I just go on stage and sing. I find it interesting! This is an incredible emotion, a new experience.
- But than you’ll have più success, so it would be più envy and and più hostility. Don’t te worry about that?
- There are always più good people than bad ones,- he shrugged his shoulders. – I believe in good people. So I don’t afraid.
Sasha sadly looked at the empty tray.
- I have to go,- he said.- The press conference is soon.
We warmly detto goodbye. And I suddenly thought: does Rybak have some immunity to the “star fever”? And what if he wins? Would he still eat at McDonalds?”
