Russian Article (SHOCK!!!) about Alexander Rybak (Eurovision 2009)

Totally do not agree.....I see nothing attractive about a Rybak and this very ordinary voice just angry. I simply think that it's Eurovision is song contest and sad when a beautiful ballad lose banal pop

I think that if Rybak hadn't won a landslide victory with a record points haul, Fairytale would be much more popular on these forums. Waterloo gets a similar sort of treatment.

When I first saw it, the song blew me away. It had to win. They might as well have stopped the contest there. The only other song that has come close to achieving that for me was Wild Dances. It wasn't just a catchy, instantly memorable song. It's also one of the best examples of an entry taking it's theme and applying it perfectly to every aspect of the performance. The music, the lyrics, the rhyming structure, the dancers, the backing singers, the costumes, the backing video, the fiddle: they all fit together and make sense as a whole.

^ Waterloo has won with a rather under-average (for a winning song) amount of points and an ordinary gap to the runner-up.

On 22 October 2005, during the 50th celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest, "Waterloo" was chosen as the best song in the competition's history.
