This very cute, romantic, sexy, gifted, emotional violinist called Sasha lives in his own fairytale (does he?!) which he himself created (did he?!). His victory in Eurovision-2009 was absolutely gorgeous. The first seconds I saw him on the stage of magnificent Olympiyskiy I knew: this is a winner! It was like a stroke of lightning. It was a miracle!
Whats so miraculous about it? Like in any miracle: embodiment of some dream (image, figure), impersonation. Very cute, sexy, romantic, gifted, emotional violinist called Ethan living in probably the best fairytale ever(in the proper sense or meaning of this word - story of/about fairies, i.e. gay-story) called QUEER AS FOLK, jumped on the stage - and in our lives! - as Alexandr Rybak, representative of Norway!
More similarities wanted? Gladly! Both - 23 y.o. Probably, both - Jews (Ethan - for sure; I wouldnt be surprised - not at all! - if Sasha also...). Both - with some significant historic-political background (Ethan - descendant of a Holocaust survivor; Alex - from immigrants family, having escaped from non-democratic regime in White Russia (Byelorussiya). Both - externally (on stage and around, with fans, e.g.) traditionally sexually orientated...
Are they both, actually, fairies?! Ethan - for sure...
Anyway, its a huge success and a fabulous victory for GLBT-community! Bravo, European (in fact, Eurasian) voters! Thank you so much for courage to demonstrate your feelings, for your heart and mind, for your love to fairies and fairy-tales.
