...because I had a story to tell," Rybak, 23, told reporters after setting an event record with 387 points, which put Norway well ahead of second-place finisher Iceland, which scored 218. In "Fairtyale," Rybak mixed stellar vocals with Scandinavian kitsch. He sang about his obsession with a lost love while a folk troop performed a centuries-old Norwegian mountain dance consisting of backflips and exaggerated push-ups. "In Russia, they like nostalgia and melancholy," he said, explaining why he thinks his wistful tune appealed to millions of voters in Russia and former Soviet states.

FM: In college you won Spring Sing, UCLA’s annual music competition. Twice. You sang in Awaken a Capella, a co-ed a Capella group. How did the music scene at UCLA prepare you for life in the industry? SBB: It was a good jumping off point. But I don’t know if there’s anything good that can prepare you for this...
...note to call his own, lying in an empty parking lot, one with the universe. He was lying on his back in the lot, in spot number twenty-eight (because even at night, some things are random), watching the stars. He was wondering what happened if something sang the wrong note, if the natural rhythm were to be interrupted. How could anomalies exist in a world of patterns?
