American Reacts to Norway’s 2009 Eurovision Winning Song (Fairytale by Alexander Rybak)

I saw a clip of this song in reels and honestly i love this song ❤
I listen it almost 5-6 times a day❤

I saw it live on TV and it was AMAZING! Singing, lyrics, performance, costumes simply perfection! And he was so humble and very sympathetic!

Liked your reaction to this performance. please check the winner of 2010, Lena "Satellite".

Has anyone told this guy he looks like harry potter. Its as if harry potter was a wizard but he used his magic to make songs.

Listen to all of his songs he is amazing

My reaction: 😬

Alexander rybak's American accent is, just incredibly amazing, not gonna lie.

Stop stopping vthe video fucking antonym

Alexander Rybak is rus/ USSR

"Imagine a typical American" This guy is the first thing I'll think of lol.

Bro doesn't know that he was only 23 years old when he performed this. Not only that, he can play the violin, the piano, he can write pieces, he's a composer. Just search him up. Also do a video on Duncan Laurance with his song "Arcade" when he won the Eurovision contest in 2019.

Gotta say you are kind of dumb “we in America don’t really listen to music like that” what do you mean

It goes hard if it has the right edit or like a perfect scene that fits with the song

Can you wait or do you just talk really well

bro pauses in the worst moment possible

The Eurovision Songcontest has parts of show and talent. Pop is not my music, but some years there is a catchy tune where the music isn't so bad. Like 2009

You should react to Eurovision Norway 2023 Final (its very Norwegian)

It's funny to see how surprised he is to the fact, that he's singing english, as if Europeans couldn't speak it. (No hate.)

Top tier yapper

This was such a good reaction - tak! You should do more ESC reactions :)

Just me thinking, shut up and listen. Stop stopping every second !!!
PS. just feedback anyway, don't take it the wrong way :)

Always a competition between the Nordic (Scandinavian) countries. who doesn't remember ABBA(?) I think we "Swedes" are in the lead, as in won the most.

Most of ppl in the states are of european herritage u should definatly air it in the US ITS ur roots😊

👍😄🇧🇻🇧🇻

Yep, the melody is really catchy. As a Norwegian this song was stuck in my head for months

He also got the highest score in Eurovisjon History :)

I like your reaction ❤👍

The original upload of that song on YT had 250+ million views :D

I mean i am swedish so i could be wrong. But i did live in Norway as a kid for a short time and i am kinda sure that is a cultrual dance… again i could be wrong…

I remember seeing Alexander Rybak on stage about a year prior to his participation in Eurovision. He played the fiddler in a production of "Fiddler on the roof" and he really stood out in that role. Which says a lot because the role of Tevye was played by the great Dennis Storhøi and that man is HARD to upstage!

Of course you know he is really from Belarus.

Its the biggest music contest in the world and its the most watched music show in the world. It is broadcast live in more than 140 countries including Australia that now also compete in the Eurovision and have up to 600 million viewers on the final day. It’s the longest living annually tv music song contest ever. Since 1956 annually.

You should react to Keiino’s Spirit in the sky-our best Eurovision performance ever!

You talk too much and ruin the song with the constant pauses

more eurovision reacts ? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

My friend showed me this 2 years ago and I am still mesmerized by the song!!

That year it was held in Russia. Kind of crazy to think about it now... But the fact that its crazy to think about it is even more crazy to think about, because it really shouldnt be 😞

(not a fun fact maybe?: part of the reason norway won that year was bc alexander rybak is also easter-european

'oh the music and LYRICS are by Alexander Rybak'
'is this just the violin?' 💀💀💀

bro paused every 2 second

He is from Minsk in Belarus

YOU HAVE TO LISTEB TO RUNAWAY

Pleas watch more eurovision...

Thats our Norwegian cullture blowing up Europvision. Fynny to see Americans cometating Viking cultrue. Then again when Vikings set foot in North America 1000 years ago, lots of immirangrants has taken over America. After Vikings changed English even if American grammar to English that is from Europe was changed by Vikings. Sort of strange to the originals to both North America and our European culture with talking Ensligh. strange .. The sarcasm hahah loll 🤣🤣😂😂😷😷

He's actually russian he lives in norway and yeah sign up for norway:)

I think the base had some kind of ruissian vibe beat to it i dont remember but there was an instrument with a rusian type og beat and melody in there wich i find a cool mix

I would LOVE for you to react to ”Love Love Peace Peace”. Alexander is even a part in it. X)

And you should also listen and react to Alessandra Mele performing her Queen of Kings in this year's International Eurovision Song Contest. 😉👌

You should listen to and react to another Norwegian Eurovision contribution from 2019. A group called Keiino with their song "Spirit In The Sky." They didn't win the whole competition, in fact they came in 6th place, but they won the public's votes by far. So if it had only been the public voting, they would have won the whole entire competition. It's very fun and catchy with Joiking in it as well (Joik - traditional Sami music), which the public absolutely loved! 😉😅👌

The Eurovision Song Contest is The Biggest Song Contest in the whole world, quite literally! 😉😅👍
