Alexander Rybak’s interview to Ukrainian magazine “Serial”
Article was found by Valeria Platonova, translated by Sonya Luzina
Alexander Rybak plays on two fronts
Norwegian handsome fiddler manages everything: he shoots the video clip, tours through Europe with concert, participates to the talent shows … even to two shows simultaneously: Swedish show “Let’s Dance” and Ukrainian show “Zirka+zirka-2″ [” Singing with the stars”].
My dance partner is always with me
– Sasha, have you immediately agreed to participate to the show “Let’s Dance”?
– I hesitated a bit before confirming. When I was a teenager I danced a little in the styles which were popular in the 90’s. Some videos can even be found on YouTube. But I was very interested to try out different styles. Now I am invited to the similar shows in other countries, for example to Russia. But I dance only in Sweden yet, and rehearse in Ukraine in between recording of “Zirka + zirka-2”
– So, your dance partner Malin Johansson comes with you? Continue reading Alexander Rybak’s interview to Ukrainian magazine “Serial”

Interview of Alexander Rybak to Aftonbladet
”I was very depressed”
– Alexander Rybak
By Jon Forsling, published in Aftonbladet.se March 4, 2011
Thanks to Ingegerd Claesson , who found and translated it.
Rybak has vomited several times during ”Let’s dance” – now he speaks out about the drama. The dramatic vomiting during the live broadcast wasn’t a one-time happening. Now Alexander Rybak,24, choose to speak about what caused the drama in ”Let’s dance” last week.
– I have been very, very depressed, he says.
It was last week the Norwegian Eurovision winner Alexander Rybak, 24, unexpectedly interrupted an interview with David Hellenius in TV4’s ”Let’s dance”. He had just finished his dance performance with his partner Malin Johansson when he suddenly excused himself.
– Dear jury and David, can you entertain Malin for a minute? I just have to run to the bathroom, he said during the live broadcast and rushed out.
Start competing for real now
Afterwards he revealed that he had to go to a toilet to vomit. The reason given was a temporary stomach disease or food poisoning, but Alexander Rybak now chooses to tell Nöjesbladet[section of Aftonbladet] the truth.
– It has been like this the last weeks, I just have managed to hide it.
Do you mean that you have vomited several times during this period?
-Yes, yes. But I’m feeling much better now.
Then he starts talking and tells that the time in ”Let’s dance” have been full of physical and emotional problems:
– I haven’t had a vacation for three years. I have started to say no to some things now, but before I was trying to be an ”alpha-male” and be able to do many things at the same time. Now I’m happy that I didn’t try to be happy during those periods when I was very, very depressed. Now it feels like I can start to compete for real. ”Let’s dance is like a long distance race, now I have a completely different attitude.
Only breaths through the mouth
What was it that made you feel bad?
– It was many factors that impacted it. Private stuff that I don’t want to talk about, at the same time it was all the jobs I was doing. It didn’t give my any time to think about private matters until I was going to bed. Then I started to think about my private problems and couldn’t sleep. Then there’s a medical problem which makes it only possible to breath through my mouth, I’m getting treatment and eats a lot of tablets. I have only been healthy for ten days this year.
Have you gotten any help for this?
– Yes I have sought more professional help than I ever thought I was going to need.
Are you talking with someone or is it more of a medical help?
– Both. Everyone has stated that I’m normal. I’m just Norwegian(laugh).
What does your family say?
– It was dad who convinced me to continue with ”Let’s Dance”.
He said; ”It’s good that you listen to the doctors , but if you quit now you will always feel the pressure, because you once quit a job”.
Were you seriously thinking about leaving ”Let’s Dance”?
– Everyone around me said I should do it. But I made the best out of the situation.
After ”Let’s dance” Alexander Rybak plans to take it easier.
-I hope I will able to leave the pop-star life for a while. I have made two albums in two years, and I’m very privileged. That part of being famous is fun.
– But I do not feel that I am accomplishing anything great in the world by dancing.

“It feels like hell”
By Emelie Molinder
http://www.alltomstockholm.se/start/article2107951.aos
Alexander Rybak has many strings on his violin. In “Let’s Dance” has the norwegian showed that he can both dance in high heels and charm the swedish TV viewers.
Are the costumes important?
-Yes, it wouldn’t have been so fun to dance walz with Malin if she wore a salsa skirt. Everything should be right.
You’ve danced in high heels, how is that?
– It feels like hell. It’s hard to wear high heels and at the same time try to look masculine. It’s like trying to wrinkle your eyebrows and look happy at the same time.
– I think that a man is the most masculine when he has a feminine side,- said Alexanders dance partner Malin.

Interview to FRIDA (Swedish teenage magazine, issue 2/2011)
Translated from Swedish by Laila Ulvseth
Website of the magazine frida.se
FRIDA has danced with Alexander Rybak
His fingers are used to dance over the violin strings with wonderful results, but how fast our Norwegian singer favourite can move his feet, is about to be documented during today’s dance lesson with Alexander Rybak. Going to the room where the singer exercises his abilities with his partner Malin Johansson, we pass some charming obstacles like a freshly showered Andreas Weise and Björn Ranelid eating lunch. He greets us with at least five “hej”. But today we are Team Alexander and hurry from his contestants.
