After the live show: Looks like Alexander has a lot of excitable teenage girls and their moms as fans...

He's smart and he's having fun. So what can go wrong for him? He's already won and if he doesn't again he can always claim the song was meant for fun, so he doesn't loose his reputation. Smart guy! He's an ESC legend already. I'd rather see someone having fun, being serius or not, doesn't matter (Israel is making fun of "things", too!) than those tragic drama queens.

I think he has made that clear already that he is back to have fun. I honestly don't think he counted on winning MGP again. I sure as heck didn't, I was pretty sure Rebecca would win because most people would think of Rybaks song as to "goofy" and I felt pretty alone about liking it.

I actually think Rybak did really, REALLY want to win and represent Norway again. Just look at his face during the results. He was in bits during the first super final announcement, and he looked incredibly tense and nervous just before he was announced as the winner. His mannerisms weren't those of someone who didn't care. Wallman on the other hand appeared really cool and collected, at peace with the fact he might not be going to Eurovision again. Rybak meanwhile looked a nervous wreck. I actually felt bad for him. I think a lot was riding on this for him. A defeat in this NF would have been humiliating, Loreen Melodifestivalen 2017 style, especially as his song has been getting a lot of negative reviews as well.

Who else apart from the fans know about Loreen's defeat in Melodifestivalen ?
Most people remembering her for her big victory back in 2012.
I like the fact that Rybak will represent Norway.
Everyone will see him again on stage.
With a worse song.
Losing.

Very impressed with this. Alexander managed to turn a song I thought was nothing into something with his great and fun performance! 8 points to Norway - I think they will do well this year! Might get the best winner come back result since Carola

It’s ok. The song itself is nothing special, music is cute and all that.
However.
I am not a fan of Rybak. I repeat, not a fan.
But that dude really works live.
It’s a 6 from me.

Agree with that.
35 going on 12 indeed. That's funny.
Agree with that.
Cynically and obviously staged from a pro who knows Norwegians will only accept humble, self-deprecating and what we call 'koselig' (cosy-like). The whole nailbiting, boy-am-I-loving-this act was way OTT and somewhat disgusting to be frank.

Even if... Germany has sent Stefan Raab in 2000 who wanted to show how crappy Eurovision is, so he sent an extra crappy song... which ironically ended fifth in the end. So everything is possible and legit.

2000 was a complete different standard. Since the introduction of 2 Semis its a lot harder to enter Top 10. Nowadays we also have juries.

Maybe in Junior Eurovision.
I think this can... go top 5. Or more.
