Reporter: There is the second semi-final of Eurovision going today in Oslo. In Russia we follow it calmly, because our participant, Peter Nalich, has already provided himself a place in the final. Everybody is waiting for a politically colored confrontation between the contestants from Armenia and Azerbaidzhan. And about the favorites we will talk now with the person because of whom actually that contest now is taking place in Oslo. This is Alexander Rybak.
Sasha, I hope you can hear me.
Alex: Hello.
R: Who do you like the most of all the contestants?
A: Oh! From the very beginning I liked Lena, and I like her now. She is just the most sweet of all. I don't even know, if she has a boyfriend or has not.
R: Sasha, and concerning that confrontation between Armenia and Azerbaidzhan, do they really take everything so seriously there? Is there a lot of politics at the contest?
A: Oi! Israel, is it?
R: No, Armenia and Azerbidzhan.
A: Armenia and Azerbidzhan... No, I just... Oi, there is a huge echo here! Well, Ok. I only know about Israel, that there are many demonstrators are against the Israel song. But Armenia and Azerbaidzhan... I heard nothing about that. Everybody here just supports Azerbaidzhan very much.
R: Sasha, and who is the favorite of the contest?
A: Mine? Well, Germany, of course.
R: Ok, Sasha, at the beginning I...
A: And in Norway I don't know... A-ha!...
R: Sasha, at the beginning I asked you on purpose, who do you like of all the contestants. Because the strange news appeared today, that you do not hide it anymore that you are a gay. I hope my question didn't offend you...
A: That I am what?...
R: Can you comment somehow on these rumors... That you are a gay. That you stick to the not-traditional orientation (Russian expression for a gay)
A: *laughing.* This is... You know, it's quite difficult, because there are different gossips about me. For example, in Greece I'm married already. In Sweden I started a new band, a rock-band, yes. And in Russia I'm a gay already. Well, all right, it's interesting. You know what, I can give you the numbers of 20-30 girls, who can prove that I am not a gay. Well, ok, then, later, after the live broadcast. Now I'm going to watch the semi-final.
R: That's fine. Then we can consider those strange rumors being disproved. Ok, Sasha, maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, but it's clear that the private life of such an artist like you is very interesting to everybody. Those 20-30 girls, do you have the constant relationships with someone of them?
A: Well, the girl just left me now, so, I'm single. But for the first time in my life I'm single and I feel good about it. Because it was she who left me, not me, you know, what I mean? I did everything right, I treated her so nice, gave her presents, sang songs to her, so... It's a very strange feeling but... I'm glad. And are you glad?
R: Sasha, well, anyway we can be glad for you, because, I think that the confession that just came out, is the good news for all your female fans, since they know now that your heart is free. Did I get you right?
A: Sad, but free! Just the way we like it, yes!
R: All right. Thank you, Sasha...
A: It was a pleasure to talk to you.
R: The same here. This was Alexander Rybak from Oslo, a man thanks to whom Eurovision is now taking place in Norway. Today he dispelled the doubts of his numerous fans.
