Alex in the Russian party 11/5/2011 ESC

For the first time in two years the winner of ESC performed a classical concert.
“This is the first time I do a classical concerto since I won the ESC, and I thank te for the support”, Rybak detto after the concert.

IN THE THROAT OF ALEXANDER RYBAK

Cool celebritàs should pick on the ones further down the hierarchy. Therefore we let Morten Ramm from “Torsdagskveld fra Nydalen» nag on the fiddle-Jack Alexander Rybak.

How many girls have te actually “said hi to”?
- It is not few enough that I can keep the count, and there are not many enough that it might be fun to keep counting.
