Alexander Rybak - Fairytale - Russian version - in Moscow 10.11.09

[@christopherlibby5438]

To those complaining about the crowd, it is polite in Russia for complete silence during a performance

[@christopherlibby5438]

So although it seems weird to westerners, in Russian culture what they did was very polite and he actually got quite the response in the applause. The Russians are a little more reserved that way.

He's fantastic in absolutely any language. Bravo! His russian is extremely sexy as well. Congratulations on winning, Rybak! This really makes me wish I didn't live in America. It's disappointing that we do not show Eurovision on TV.

almost sounds like he isnt singing russian in the beginning but thats just the music not blending in well cause it was in english first

@@ArianeMae15Incorrect he was born in Belarus so it was his first language but I think Norwegian became his inner monologue.

[@G3NK5T42]

​@@ArianeMae15He is Belarusian who lives in Norway. His native language is very much Russian. This song's lyrics sound so much better in Russian than the English version. It's like the ATC - Around The World (LA LA LA) sounds like shit in comparison to the original, Ruki V Verh - Pesenka.

Wow, that was an awesome performance! I didn't know he could sing this song in russian. How did the audience stay so still? Even if I was trying to stay still and quiet, I think I would still smile, I just couldn't help myself.

[@wenqiweiabcd]

That's the Russians for you. In front of strangers they put on the same poker face regardless of emotions. Their mindset is "I'd better not smile, or he'd think I'm laughing at him and get offended".

[@ReiEdd]

They are from the Russian police. It's the day of Russian Miltia

[@TheFabHawk]

@NinaShanina French too :) It's normal to learn either french, spanish or german in Norway

[@fatamorganaa84]

@pietjepuk002 yeah, sure. But he has lived in Norway since he was 5. Just being russian, doesn't automatically mean you talk the language fluently. I know of some friends who grew up outside of Norway, and they couldnt speak norwegian fluently, their grammar + pronounciation was very bad. Anyways, I am glad to hear that Rybak speaks russian very good. He is a very talented artist.

[@VeryNiceGirl1]

@fatamorganaa84 Very clear pronunciation ))

[@fatamorganaa84]

@borsos94 Yes, he is russian, but he has lived in Norway since age 5, and that is why I wondered how his russian is. The reason why I asked, is because I know of norwegians who after living in France or Germany, dont longer speak norwegain good, you can hear from their grammar and pronounciation.

[@vanessa_official.212]

The crowd is absolutely typical Russian. They are looking seriously and in the same time in head the sing the song along the performance. When they drunk Vodka than are beginning to dance or sing. 😄😂 Please don't judge the crowd most of them are policeman.

[@HHloveMoscow]

@nathanglennmitchem It's crazy how people can have a different opinion, that's funny i think this version is so much better, so more powerful and i can feel so many emotion on this song!! I love russian language, it's for me the most beautiful of the world, and i am totally french!

[@G3NK5T42]

It's because it's in his native language. I bet this was his original version and he just wrote the English version for Eurovision 2009, since all that show is 90% of singers singing in English instead of showcasing their own country's music. Just pandering to the American dominating western world, since that's all the EU is, puppets of the US.

[@sir2657]

The best version ive heard is from a wagner fighter on his armoured veichle playing the violin and singing in russian ofcourse...

[@G3NK5T42]

Come on. You can't say that the grainy audio from a cellphone recording sounds better than the original singer/writer performing it. Plus, not like the Russian soldier sang his own rendition of it. He sang it as is.

omg.. the serious faces of the audience .. like a funeral. Russians should be a bit more loosely and swinging. A german saying is "putting a good face on bad things"; there it's the other way round. . diese ernsten Mienen im Publikum .. wie auf einer Trauerfeier. Die Russen sollten sich mal ein bisschen locker machen. Man kann bekanntlich eine "Gute Miene zum bösen Spiel machen"; da ist es aber genau umgekehrt.
