The melody seems to be copied after an old Romanian Romance called La fereastra unde doarme o pisica (At the window where a cat sleeps). The rest of the melody seems based on this passage.
i'm 15 years old. I listen to Justin BIeber, Eminem and Escape the fate. I hear pretty much every kind of music, but this is the most beatiful. Alexander Rybak is my greatest idol. He's so beatiful and his music is amazing. I allways feel like writing a fairytale while listening to his music. This song is so amazing.
None of my friends listen to this, but i don't care. Alexander is the most beatiful person in the whole world.
i wish he could just choose a girl and stick with her and be happy. :'< it makes me kinda sad knowing he writes songs about girls he loves, but they either don't love him back, or just end up leaving him in the end. DX I LOVE YOU ALEX, I HOPE YOU WILL BE HAPPY SOMEDAY!
Wow. Your emotional capacity astounds me. I truly appreciate the fact that you were so willing to expose to me your utter childishness, honest. Thanks so much for that meaningful reply.
Accusations of plagiarism are absolutely ungrounded, see "Fairytales" in Wikipedia, where Molchanov is credited as a composer. Sasha has even received a permission from Molchanov's family. By the way, the very good song from the movie was never popular in Soviet Union as far as I remember but Sasha turned it into a hit with a different structure and strong lyrics.
Some idiots actually accused Rybak of plagiarism with this song, which is bullshit since Rybak DID IN FACT CREDIT Russian composer Kirill Molchanov for this melody. Check Rybak's album Fairytales, it says "A.Rybak/K.Molchanov". So stop with the crap saying he plagiarized it. Molchanov was given credit!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You are the one. He didn't give a credit to Molchanov, because Molchanov's melody is far more popular and bright. It is called Plagiat when you use someone's idea and turn it into your own. This kid just turned a very good song into a song for little girls and boys in pink. Cry, baby, cry. P.S. Molchanov does not need any credit, he earned it by himself.
Okie I'm Canadian and all so I don't really know much about him..but I have a question "Was this singing contest made after the Singing Revelution or what??"..also lol he's very cute and lovable..and touching =]
