- Hello, Alexander! - Hello.
- Welcome to us. - Thank you.
Do you have a nice summer?
Yes, absolutely. I really think that one always finds a reason to feel good in the summer.
There is always an argument that the summer is good. And I have found 100. Windsurfing, for example.
- Have you tried that? - Yes.
- It's so delicious. Shall we have a competition? - I am so very badly. I am so incredibly bad.
Than we take a competition, because I am bad to.
Do you have vacation now?
I always have 2-3 hours of vacation every day. It is very nice.
But you work, so you have...
Yes,, but I'm working on some new projects, but I have some days off. Definitely.
But I can not sit still, you know, I have to work on something. But I don't call it work, not really work in a way.
- It's a lifestyle. - Yes.
It is over one year since you won the Eurovision Song Contest now,
and there is hardly any Norwegian artist who has experienced the hysteria that you have done.
There are probably many who have experienced even greater, but may not be exactly what I have experienced.
Have you managed to take it in on you, have you managed to land and have been reflecting on what you've been through?
Yes, it is not difficult to take it in when it is...
you not only get the sales figures and stuff, I actually get smiles on the street.
Yeah, right. The girls were very excited back here when you came in.
Girls are generally enthusiastic, yes, and it's very cozy.
But it is just that... Yeah, clap for nice girls.
I just want to say that with the audience, with real people who give you feedback.
Then you understands it right away, you just have to take it in on you.
What's very nice now, is that I have a real devoted audience,
especially after everything that has happened to me last year, both good and bad.
I feel that the relationship between artist and audience is like an ordinary love affair.
You can choose to be superficial in a way, and only show your best side for those 5-6 years
and then they become very fond of each other, until they realize how they really are.
But I chose to show all my sides.
- Yes, you are quite open really. - Really!
But you are quite honest and open.
But it pays off. It pays off, because I know that the audience who is left now,
and there are very many, they like me for who I am.
They have been with me on everything I've done and yet they still there with me.
And that's why it will be extra fun to have, like the concerts I will have in Tonsberg from Wednesday to Saturday.
There I manage to do some commercials as well. With Elisabeth Andreassen.
Yes, and I know that the audience that comes there is really a devoted audiences who like all of me.
When we invite the entire Norwegian fiddler, he has to bring his fiddle.
- And you have it with you? You have the fiddle? - I have a fiddle.
- Because we know that you are a classic...
- This is yours. - Isn't it yours?
No, yes, it's one of mine. I've started buying very cheap once now.
Why?
I feel it every little thing that happens to you pops up at the internet newspapers.
What's it really like, are you doing something wrong?
I think it's called cucumbertime in the press world. They do not have much to write about.
- But you promise not to use this fiddle on me? - Yes.
I think it's so fun to have an artist who is as clever as you in the studio, and I can ask you to play something.
Grieg, can you do that, for example?
So cool that you ask. I've got the song I use to play, but I can definitely Grieg. If I only remember.
What about Ole Bull, it is almost the same. Isn't it?
It is beautiful.
But while we are playing something different we can show some other sides too...
Thank you all, so cozy.
It's fun with applause. Then you must bow. But what I've started to like lately is to play jazz.
And that was jazz.
You just have to stop me because I can...
- I think it is incredibly beautiful to listen to. - Thank you.
I saw that you... there were some critics who did not give you the best dice rolls when you came out with the new CD,
and when you said that "it does not matter, because I know I can make a CD to dice 6 disc if I want" .
Can I hear how that CD will sound like?
- A roll of the dice 6 CD. Oi, oi oi. - I saw that you said something like.
It is only one who can guarantee, one that everyone will like, and that is Michael Jackson, I think.
- Him I can not play. Well, anyway. Yes, no, that... - Come on.
- I have not practiced on this one. - Now you will play Michael Jackson on violin?
Fantastic!
