No matter what year this is probably one of the BEST songs I've listened to. I can listen to this anywhere, anytime. I'm certain this will still be a banger in 2040.
I disagree, there are many better songs historically from the Eurovision. You may think it's the best, but that doesn't mean the majority of people agree with you.
WHY IS HE SO CUTE?? FOR WHAT?? MANS PLAYS VIOLIN AND IS THIS FREAKING CUTE?? It's not fair ;-; he has a super cute smile and his stage presence just screams at you
Because (in my opinion) he isn‘t a good Singer. ( i am from Germany sorry for my grammar mistakes) At some Parts you can hear that he‘s voice ?*cracks*? and he is breathing really loudly
he’s not playing the violin lol all backing music in eurovision has to be pre recorded. everyone that plays instruments on the stage is just pretending. the bow string just broke and he just had to keep pretend playing.
@@BenCreaven pretty much but even if he was actually playing, the broken bow hairs wouldn’t really have affected the performance anyway cos it’s just a few hairs.
@@BenCreaven first you get banned from eurovision if its lip synced and second you are telling me the strings magically snapped just by pretending to play?
@@redundantopinion705 The singing is not pre-recorded, but all instrumental music is. I'm sure he can actually play the song really well, however the violin that you are hearing is mostly, if not entirely, coming from the recording. He does play the violin here, but he is dancing around a lot with it, the violin is likely not miced up, and if it were it would likely not sound nearly as good as a recording. For all I know the violin that he is performing with could be muted, as to not disturb the recorded music in the intermissions between singing, or perhaps his microphone is turned down heavily when he is playing and not singing.
They’re a traditional folk dance group. The jump they do when they kick the hats is called a Halling kast (Halling throw. Hallingdal is a mountain region in Norway)

bro he is literally singing about how he is broken from a break up .. every little word he said is relatable to my situation now.. i'm fcking crying the whole song
Thats what i was thinking. I just randomly stumbled on this video. Im an American, and i was saying his vocals alone are no where near the best (though not bad at all as well), but his entire performance is very well done. He has a nice level of charisma and a wonderful star quality. He performs the violin magnificently as well. I can definitely see the appeal in him. Is he quite famous?
@@KonataIzumi43 I believe he was actually sick when he performed! Also he’s not a native English speaker so it’s a little more difficult 🥰 He was quite popular in Europe after he won Eurovision 10 or so years ago
@@emilycobb9875 yeah, its a singer thing to have to sing while a little under the weather, but its an amazing thing to see when someone can actually pull it off. also with english not being his first language is p good for his pronunciation (i.e, vowels, consonants, longevity, etc) but its not uncommon to see "foreign" singers sing well in english
He's in love with a fairytale meaning he's in love with the idea of his relationship with her. They had a terrible relationship, clearly from the song, but he's romanticizing it because he misses her. The "fairytale" aspect is a version of their relationship that only consists of the happy parts, a sugar-coded, rose-tinted version of them, and he's in love with the idea of it.
@@aayushgokhale1902 I guess it means that he doesn't care that he lost his mind to this illusion, because the curse is already their relationship being in a horrible state.
Прошло 10 лет а многие все ещё возвращаются сюда вновь послушать этот шедевр, а знаете почему? Песня была спета с душой, неподдельная улыбка на лице Александра
Потому что раньше выбирали победителей достойно, и Евровидение был настоящим песенным конкурсом, а щас что, одна политика, якобы в 15 году швед был лучше Гагариной (задавили из-за политики),или в 19 победитель исполнил песню 5 летней давности,что является грубым нарушением, но жюри промолчали и забили на это,зато если б такое сделала Россия,то поднялся бы шум.Очень обидно,что такой конкурс угробили.

Everyone’s talking about how great Alexander performance is, but let’s also give it to the stunt guys who performed smth like Norwegian folk dance mixed with some nice acrobatics as a gymnast athlete I freaking love it
Its norwegian folkdance, goes back for centuries. They åerform in norwegian folksuits, which is different due to where your family lived ... The jump with hat used to be an old contest 💕💕
@muhammad hammad sure, this is something like tornado kick or 540 kick which is quite common for male folk dances in Norway It was a contest between dancers: kicking that hat off the stand
This was back in the good days when Eurovision was a massive thing and people watched it with their friends and families and supported their country then had a party after, pure nostalgia
@@noname6389 Actually.. it's not the music getting "worse" over time but the people who can't adapt anymore. After you reach a certain age most people stuck with a music genre they like. That's why nearly every generation thinks that the music of the other generation sucks. 🤓
@@minchen_2265 cmon i mean probably you are right with that argument with most of the things like technology and stuff but not the music. its just bad music. song need melody and meaning. it needs centiment. it needs to talk to your soul. there is a saying in my country that says "music is the nutrient of soul".not liking and doing controversial stuff to others bodies. also i didnt saw any girl who likes one direction anymore. because most of the fans grow up to see that its bad.
@@ouzayb3167 Eeh.. no. I did mean the music. There's actually a study out there talking about this topic.. 🙆♀️ And regarding your comment; There is a lot (a lot!!) of music in Eurovision I personally don't like. But that doesn't mean that eVeRyThInG iS bAd. It's not my taste. And I can accept that. But there's always at least one Song I can appreciate. One Song I wouldn't have found out about without Eurovision. That's enough of a reason for me to watch it. You don't like it? You find everything horrible. That's ok. Just don't watch it. 🤷♀️ I don't see the problem here. No one is forcing you to do so. "Leben und leben lassen" ("Live and let (others) live") is a saying in my country. 🙂
Performers like him are extremely rare who actually like to perform not because it's their profession but because they actually enjoy their performance... It's like they are living their life to fullest when they perform
Gördüğüm performanslar içerisinde benim için en iyi Eurovision performansı bu şarkı. 2021'e girmek üzereyiz hala arada açar dinlerim. 2021'e girmek üzereyken kafamda bir de yıllardır cevabını bulamadığım bir soru var; "MaNga nasıl kazanamadı lan?"
Eurovision olmayınca her Türk genci kendini bu videolarda buluyor. Düzenli olarak bütün Eurovision şarkılarının altında 1 haftadan az süreli yorumlar var. Adamlar bile şarkılarını unuttu biz bütün Eurovision tarihini ezberledik.
Çünkü her birimiz eski zamanları özledik. Batı ilişkilerinin en iyi olduğu zamanlar. Ekonominin düzeldiği, AB yollarının gözüktüğü zamanlar. Şimdi ise hepsi bok oluyor. Hepimizin gözü önünde...
@@nlatimer that’s the problem I have. If I saw this because it was recommended to me. I’d be impressed. Because Tik tok uses it relentlessly. I’m sick of it
The most impressive is that Alexander also composed, and wrote the lyrics of the song. Then he sings, and plays the violin. Not many other ESC winners did the same.
Surprised that he wrote the lyrics-- I assumed he was singing phonetically and didn't actually speak English. The song is good, but I'd like to hear it by someone else. He's not the best singer.
Incredible, it's been 13 years since Rybak won and Fairytale still holds up as one of the best Eurovision songs of all time. He doesn't even look like he's aged a day since 2009 either!

He's in love with a fairytale meaning he's in love with the idea of his relationship with her. They had a terrible relationship, clearly from the song, but he's romanticizing it because he misses her. The "fairytale" aspect is a version of their relationship that only consists of the happy parts, a sugar-coded, rose-tinted version of them, and he's in love with the idea of it.
Damn, you got the meaning of the music perfectly!
Thanks of explaining!!!
But what does he mean by him being cursed?
Bruh🔥🔥
@@aayushgokhale1902 I guess it means that he doesn't care that he lost his mind to this illusion, because the curse is already their relationship being in a horrible state.
This song is like a fine wine the older it gets the better it sounds
Brother you will make it but i don,t lie iam in 2018
Yes omgggg ❤
I think it is, because the newer the songs get, the more they age like milk.
The reason is the further we go the more different that type of music will get
Everytime i hear this song it just makes me extremely happy and it makes me smile, i dont know why.
He's the definition of 'modern prince charming'
His performance screamed it!

Absolutately you are right , also where are you ?

His aura was screaming he’s a prince
Well he’s from a country that’s a monarchy

Прошло 10 лет а многие все ещё возвращаются сюда вновь послушать этот шедевр, а знаете почему? Песня была спета с душой, неподдельная улыбка на лице Александра
Вот за это я его и уважаю
Потому что раньше выбирали победителей достойно, и Евровидение был настоящим песенным конкурсом, а щас что, одна политика, якобы в 15 году швед был лучше Гагариной (задавили из-за политики),или в 19 победитель исполнил песню 5 летней давности,что является грубым нарушением, но жюри промолчали и забили на это,зато если б такое сделала Россия,то поднялся бы шум.Очень обидно,что такой конкурс угробили.

@@alexmamba3821 или как задушили выход Марув как представителя Украины в 2019, хотя шансы на победу были близки к абсолютным
@@shogun5411 да, и честно было обидно,потому что выступление было очень достойным,и не пустить из-за политики - это очень дико,это конкурс талантов и здесь не должны быть международные отношения, я хоть и из России,но хорошее отношения к украинцам у меня не поменялось что в 2014,что сейчас, и если б победила Марув, я бы радовался,потому что как я уже говорил выступление ДОСТОЙНОЕ!
Dude this guy looks so incredibly happy performing and he has such an infectious smile I literally come back to watch this when I’m down because seeing someone enjoy life so much brings me so much euphoria.
add that on to the fact that he actually had depression at the time

I am really impressed with the guy doing acrobatics at 1:45
Its norwegian folkdance, goes back for centuries. They åerform in norwegian folksuits, which is different due to where your family lived ... The jump with hat used to be an old contest 💕💕

Did u see him in 2018 😍

This was back in the good days when Eurovision was a massive thing and people watched it with their friends and families and supported their country then had a party after, pure nostalgia
Plus the music wasn't that shitty 😉
@@noname6389 Actually.. it's not the music getting "worse" over time but the people who can't adapt anymore. After you reach a certain age most people stuck with a music genre they like. That's why nearly every generation thinks that the music of the other generation sucks. 🤓
@@minchen_2265 cmon i mean probably you are right with that argument with most of the things like technology and stuff but not the music. its just bad music. song need melody and meaning. it needs centiment. it needs to talk to your soul. there is a saying in my country that says "music is the nutrient of soul".not liking and doing controversial stuff to others bodies. also i didnt saw any girl who likes one direction anymore. because most of the fans grow up to see that its bad.
@@ouzayb3167 Eeh.. no. I did mean the music. There's actually a study out there talking about this topic.. 🙆♀️ And regarding your comment; There is a lot (a lot!!) of music in Eurovision I personally don't like. But that doesn't mean that eVeRyThInG iS bAd. It's not my taste. And I can accept that. But there's always at least one Song I can appreciate. One Song I wouldn't have found out about without Eurovision. That's enough of a reason for me to watch it. You don't like it? You find everything horrible. That's ok. Just don't watch it. 🤷♀️ I don't see the problem here. No one is forcing you to do so. "Leben und leben lassen" ("Live and let (others) live") is a saying in my country. 🙂
we still do 💀 then continue to listen to the songs all year
It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to!

It’s not that they don’t have good taste of music. It’s that they are deaf and had no idea on what’s happening here
the song has sad lyrics but while performing it alexander makes it the happiest song I've ever heard
Ikr! His charisma is so contagious and he looks like the happiest person alive on that stage
That's the point I think. Driven to insanity he's singing so joyously.

The most impressive is that Alexander also composed, and wrote the lyrics of the song. Then he sings, and plays the violin. Not many other ESC winners did the same.
1000th like i guess
Surprised that he wrote the lyrics-- I assumed he was singing phonetically and didn't actually speak English. The song is good, but I'd like to hear it by someone else. He's not the best singer.
Well the violin wasn’t actually played
@@1ZZ-u5t ofc it was, there’s plenty of videos of him playing the violin…
