Good Luck with your new single and future career Alexander 
Heh, I thought even on Saturday that his new song sounds *a lot* like Fairytale, and hearing it again now it really does 
But of course it's good to have his own unique style.
(Btw, if I was Jaana I'd be pretty embarrassed by the clip they show of her here singing Fairytale in a commentator's booth )

Is that you on profile pic?
Definitely has a similar structure to Fairytale... his voice sounds kinda weird here though.
Ladies and Gentleman, the opening act of the 2010 final. 
I liked his new song too!
Tusen takk søta Sara!
Well, he has been using norwegian elements in his songs...its obvious and .. and it is charming .. xD

'Europe's Skies' perfect opener for Eurovision! Shame it's a bit of a rubbish song!
If he were participating with his new single he'd win again.
There we go again.., a newvillage song of a.. Popop (Polish pop)? or Rupop (Russian pop) genre .. it sounds soo east european/slavic to me..- dunno why. ;p And that's not the reason i don't like it.. it's just not my pumpkin pie . 
or was it cup of tea?
