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

As an American I don't really know much about Eurovision, but I understand that it is a huge music competition that Norway has in fact won before. Today I am very excited to see the 2009 Eurovision song that won Norway first place. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

The dancing is a norwegian dance Hallingdal dance so it is cultural too. We are very proud of him

[@rowaystarco]

The correct name is actually Laus or Lausdans, but it's referred to as Halling/Hallingdans outside of Hallingdal. The dance pretty much was to impress the ladies, kicking the hat was the ultimate trick. The dance group was Frikar, very talented people. Here's a classic clip from a 70s documentary set in Hallingdal kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3OmcmmNqrt7q68.

Traditional music is very strong in other European countries too. See Ireland. Actually a good friend of Irish traditional music and singing was from Norway. Recently he sent us all a heart breaking email explaining that he had a terminal illness and that he wouldn't be back to visit us in Ireland. We're still sad.

[@carolineskipper6976]

Ther is a distinction between a 'singing competition' where an artist's singing ability is judged, and a 'song competition' where it is the quality of the song itself which is judged. For Eurovision, each participating country submits an original song - so it can't have been a hit in their own country prior to thecompetition. The costumes and staging are also important factors in the performance of the song. Not only is the live audience huge- but the programme is aired live across Europe. This year's competition (2023) was watched by 162 million people!

Rybak is a classicly trained Norwegian-Belarusian musician, the dancers are among the best dancers in Norway (at least of that style at the time). Officially it is the melody that is to be evaluated, but in practice it's often politics (some countries often give eachother good scores), song, dancing, etc

[@siren369xstar8]

The violin is so extremely used in Russia/Belarus, Norway & Sweden & Danmark 🎼👍 Btw Alexander Rybak made some amazing song in Russian after he won the Eurovision❤️

[@mjelves]

In the past, it was normal for a song to be in the native language in the national competition, and then have an English one in the finale. Some opted rot not have an English version. No, most song are in English from the start. Also, it was the strings on his bow that snapped, not the violin

[@BGSKG83]

This song was really the one who revived my trust in Eurovision for some years and I had a list with a lot of eurovision songs from that year and 7-9 years forward. Most of the artists are choosing to sing in English, but there's still many who choose to go with their own languages, but more often than not they do better with English lyrics than local ones. Sometimes the artists perform in their local contests in their local language, but translate the song for the big contest. The audience you see is only the ones that got tickets, the rest of Europe watches live from their home. The Jury is giving thir own points, but the final decission goes to viewers who gets time to vote.

[@skinnyjohnsen]

Both the violin play and the dancing is based on Norwegian folk traditions. Cool that he won, but now go listen to ABBA's contribution from 1973 or1974; Waterloo! Real fun, and changed Eurovision Song Contest to a great deal.

Some notes from an norwegian here (we are still proud of him): The men that are dancing is actually dancing "Halling", which is a traditional dance style in Norway. The ladies are also a reference to Huldra, which comes from Norwegian folklore and are female Trolls with cowtails, who are tricking men into the wood or the mountains and tricking them to death with their beauty.

I got to see it in 1988. The young lady from Switzerland sang in French and won it. You've heard of her: Celine Dion. Prior to that, she was building a career in Canada but she had no international exposure. That was what opened up her career and put her on the map, internationally. Pretty sure one of her parents is originally Swiss. Sometimes, the rules are that you have to sing in a native language for your country; that was the case in 1988. Sometimes, you can sing in whatever language you want. In 1974, ABBA won Eurovision, singing in English. That launched their careers, internationally. If you've seen "The Martian," he's disassembling the MAV to the tune of ABBA's "Waterloo;" that was their winning song. These days, it's not just the vocal performance: it's the whole package. Music, dancing, stage production, etc. Eurovision is a HUGE deal over there. Will Ferrell looked into it, some years ago, and loved it. He subsequently did a movie around it; check out the final song "Husavik (My Hometown)." It'll blow your mind.

When Norway won, I jumped up and shouted to my friends in the bar that Norway won (in norwegian!).

He plays a Hardingfele, it differs from the ordinary violin by having 8 strings. Four normal ones and four underlying strings, that makes a very special kind of tone. Norway also won in 1985. Then we had two female artists who called themselves Bobbysocks. They performed a song called "La det swinge" or "Let it Swing". In 1985 we still had to perform in our native language, so the chance for any Nordic country to win at that time, was much lower than after we were allowed to perform in English. The songs were allways recorded in English, though, so Bobbysocks performed partly in English when they sang their victory version. Here is a link to an English version from 1986: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTWdZlreM-fbq8 This is from the perfomance in Eurovision 1985: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJmVXoR8l9mLqq8
