The sign of a great artist is NOT never to make mistakes, but to go on as if nothing happened. This is exactly what Alex did her, and it shows how great he is.

Amazing! He improvised it immediately after finding it out went completely out of tune when he dropped it, even when he was under pressure with the most powerful and respected people in the world, and the rest of the world watching.

GREAT PERFORMANCE! As an european, I feel so proud to be so well represented by such a talented guy all over the world!

It just shows how talented an proffesional he is. he just continued like everything was normal, and if it hadn't been for the fact that it sounded a bit sour, I wouldn't have noticed at all.

I meet alexander in Oslo and I saw his preformance his awesome... I like him alot.. Wow his amazing........ HIS REAL... VERY GORGEOUS WOW.... SEI GRANDE BRAVISSIMISSIMOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

"And his mind blowing violin"

What's wrong with all these people saying they aren't proud of him? Tho i don't live in norway i would be super proud!!! he's awesome! Sure he dropped his violin but it doesn't really matter.

а я думаю то что скрипка упала, это для всех тех кто думал что Саша поет и играет под фонограмму. Теперь точно видно что все в живую. А музыка в начале просто замечательная!!! Сашка я в восторге!!! Мелодия в начале просто гениальная!!! А ты здесь такой красавчик просто отпад!!!

Well, at least he's making sure that more people know that Norway isn't the capital of Sweden. I, as well as the rest of my country are proud of Alexander.

I dont know if you have noticed that he sounds tired, he must had no vacations since his victory, one year after. And even if he dropped the violin, he continues the show, just like if nothing happend. And he also shows that a musician or an artist is not obliged to be perefect. So, stop making fun of him !

My favorite performance of Fairytale, good job Alexander!

I don't care if he dropped it... The beginning was incredible!!!

he dropped the fiddler.. but honestly it wasnt that bad.. it wasnt bad a tall.. he improvised very well!!! congrats to alex.. hes a great musician!!

I love this song it will be my favourite Eurovision song for a long time. Alexsander Rybak is a great singer. I was lucky on thev 4th of december 2010 because i met Alexsander when he was singing in christmas concert here in iceland

Все великолепно!Очень волновалась и рада за Сашу!Какой он молодец!!

u just gotta love the shock in his eyes after he dropped it 7:37 poor lad, but he handled it well

OOMG! he is sooo GORGEOUS!!! Ii really like his song fairytail

I'm surprised he doesn't have a backup violin ready to go with someone ready to bring it out.

I decide if I should say "Wow, he got to meet the Obamas and the Smiths!" or if I should say "Wow, the Obamas and the Smiths got to meet HIM!" X3 Despite the various problems, it was still an amazing performance. I like the little variations to the song. =3

Still Love this song

WOWOMAGAD!! Will's son got the coolest hair EVER!!

Alex, i don't think there is something wrong with your Violin... i think it's a perfect performance... don't let us notice what's going wrong on the stage... I know that coz i am a performer too hahah!

So THAT'S what happened...on the other video of this I didn't realise he'd dropped his violin, so when it started going out of tune, I was puzzled. He handled it very well!

he still carried on and kept smiling! he looks so great:) go on alex your amazing

I love the music!!!

I love the start of the song! great played!

It was an amazing peformance :) He's good, and who cares if he dropped his fiddle,He handled it great! Idosen't notice that when I saw it on TV, but it was the best peformance on the whole concert! :)

Best performance yet!

I think he handeled the situation very well.Bravo Alexander!

he is outstanding and he is also master at the violin ( sorry for my English )

Amazing performance and and an amazing song. Goosebumps on my arms.

¡¡¡¡ESTA GENIAL ESTE VÍDEO DE ESTE GRAN ARTISTA!!!!

Фантастика!!!Он сам заслуживает Премию Мира за то,что сделал друзями столько людей во всем мире! Когда падала скрипка,он наверное поймал ее за колки и они повернулись немного,надо настраивать скрипку заново. Но ничего страшного,можно считать что это новая аранжировка:)

Such a very powerful performance -- way better than what he had with the Eurovision 2009 finale! I really had fun listening to it, and especially performing in front of his home crowd (Norway), it's a really rare privilege to have such feat!

Alexander superr

Jepp,bor i Norge,og Fairytale er lett å slippe unna om man vil!! Tv og radio har en av og på knapp....det er bare å slå av når Fairytale spilles.....og vips,du har unnsluppet Fairytale! Easy peasy!!

He´s the best!!!

The new version and the entry especially is absolutely outstanding!!!! BRAVO,Alex!!!!! Начало просто потрясающее!! Саша - спасибо и браво!!!!!

Hey, listen up! We are very happy and proud to know this very, very talented musician! Do not forget, because of Alexander Rybak, the one you are ashamed of, Norway is on everyone's thoughts at this moment... Savvy?

I wonder when people will stop gossiping over his violin fall? It seems that there's nothing else to see in this video. Alex is just perfect, he performed it till the end despite the fall though he himself was the most dissapointed about the violin sounding strange. He performed it with great dignity. And people just don't wanna see that.

Alexander stil a great song. For this year is even the song from Didrik a very good song for the songcontest. Bravo Oslo you win hopely again. Greatings from Holland. prachtig allemachtig. Stefan Borkos

Клэва, оч классно аранжеровка супер)))

awesome luv this version but they are crazy frikar it was so dangerous poor violin great anyway excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alexander, frikar and others it was wonderful ths

Amazingggggg.Espectacular actuación.

It's amazing!!! Thanks a lot for sharing it so fast

You're Fantastic, Alex !!!!

Of course he is upset. But i know he is pretty exhausted too right now after all his concerts around. The guy have not had any breaks since he won Eurovision, and the girls started to love him. :)

Spesiel og fin versjon av sangen. Synd han mista fela i bakken...

you are fantatic and your violin you are the best

Хочется того же самого, но в хорошем исполнении. Эта версия "Сказки" классная.

an amasing musician who can improvise even if his violin did fuck up:)he kept smiling

wow..glad that I was not there...I should probably die there..it so nice!!! ..poor Alex something happened with sound at the end..but still..wow..THANKS FOR SHARING!

Fela var skikkelig sur etter at han mistet den, men han taklet det veldig bra! :)

Muito bom mesmo!!!!

Very professional not to leave the stage and continiue!

you are very good alexander rybak and now thank's to you i want to play the same instument as you !!!! ^.^

Wow!!!!!

BRAVO,Alexander!!!!!

Yes! andre gangen han driter seg ut! der å på idol i 2005!

WOW!!!

I wish I was a museum.....

He has not been in the media for a long time now.

А хоть кто нибудь заметил,что Саша из своей"Fairytale" настоящую увертюру сотворил.Или саундтрек как теперь говорят к фильму или спектаклю?

enig med deg !

@MrDirtystoner yes, it does and there are reasons for that as theviolin fell down and got out of order though it doesn't say anything ab Alex's playing. He did it despite the trouble, not everyone is able to do it in such a situation

Nice

Vic....so true :)

I heard someone say bravo

6:11 6:37 6:55 8:10

he is so talented_!!!:D love him: and hes cute to!!!:D

If you are tired of Rairytale,I suggest you TURN OFF YOUR RADIO WHENEVER THE SONG IS ON!!!

Суперская)))

go on the alex:)your a star

Hører den aldri jeg,hvis jeg ikke setter den på sjøl ;) Eller er på Rybak-konsert ;)

Holy Shiz!!! He has skill!!!!!!

I like the hair to Will Smith's son, that's cool style.

@MrDirtystoner and it sounds perfect until the fall. It's another question if you don't like the sound of the violin in general

He lost his violin poor thing...He was extremely nervous alongside these world stars. He said it at the press conference with all the artists present: "If you that are such world stars are nervous, imagine how nervous I am"

It does not look like it was fail, cause he start smile and sharming! I know it sound bad, but it looks like he think it was fun.

it's so obvious he's nervous, leave him be. Still an amazing performance.

Нин, отличная у нас команда ))

Обратите внимание!На тот момент когда я смотрю это видео-253 комментария и 31303 просмотра!Люди неравнодушны к Саше,а это главное!Шелуха уйдет,зерно останется!

no problem people just need to shut up and stop being so critical! like they are perfect!

Не то слово.:( Я даже пожалела, что мне медведь на ухо не наступил. Что-то случилось с инструментом. Скрипка была похожа на несмазанную телегу. И по лицу Саши было видно, что для него это неожиданнось, и он ничего не может сделать. Поскорее бы он забыл про это выступление.

:) Обожаю Рыбака!!!!

yes, and he is not feeling well in these days he have said

Yes, I'm from Norway. I'm not that into martial arts, no. But I play the violin ^^

Det var Nrk :)

see everyone makes mistakes at least he could improvise :) it just taught him better. and he was smiling the whole way threw it. at least it happend after half ways of his performance :)wyclef jean said he loved it !!

@Pernille72 Du bor i Norge sant? Har du lagt merke til at det er umulig og unslippe Fairytale?

@Excessummako så du kan gå konkurs?

I love his face in 5:50

er det nrk som filmet det eller var det noe internasionalt? det er syykt kult filma å sånt

That's true.

En forferdelig konsert. Hvem har bestemt at Westlife skal være trekkplaster? Hvor er de norske artistene? Hva med aktuelle artister?? Klarer de ikke komme opp med noe mer orginalt enn You raise me up??? Veldig rart. Alexander er et høydepunkt. skål for Obama!

Судя по всем, это камешек в мой огород. Смаковать - это когда подряд 20 сообщений на одну тему оставляешь. У меня было одно. А второе было ответом на ваш вопрос. :) В следующий раз, чтобы не было смакования на этой странице, пожалуйста, пишите в личку.

TV, Ute På Gata, I butikker, omtrent alle norske nettsider, folk går og mumler på sangen hans hele tiden. Det er ikke bare radioen som spiller "den sangen" ô.o Kunne jo altids spurt da -Hei :) kan du slutte og synge den sangen ? please

i am so caught up on his gorgeous lust i totally didnt realize he dropped his fiddle hehe!

No it is not. He explained to VG that it got damaged when he dropped it. So you are wrong my friend.

Ka harn gjort dæ da?
