He just looks like he’s enjoying life and that’s just amazing. Definitely a guy in his element.

[jordyn.]

10 years later he still looks so happy to perform this song.

[keshavadash]

The fact that his hairstyle has never changed

[onlyballzzz]

Fairytale : wakes up your inner demon...
Arcade : wakes up your inner pain...
Both these are timeless beauties

[ksksksks]

can we talk about how sweet he acts in a crowd of fans

[jyanosccold]

this is exactly the best song in Eurovision history.

[milkycloud.]

*_HE'S BACK AFTER 8 YEARS...WITH THE SAME EXPRESSIONS AND SAME ENERGY._*

[bigrandomun]

The fact that his voice has matured quite a bit from 2009 actually makes this song even better because he hits the deep bits even deeper whilst still being able to hit the high notes. He created the song with his love for music and his maturity is in line with the song. This guy hit the jackpot with this song.

[ashseo]

He is literally the only singer I can think of who just enjoys himself-

[eavioli]

2009: He's 23
2019: He's still 23

[hannusbanannus]

He literally hasn’t aged since his time on Eurovision

[abhishekc.]

Nothing is better for an artist when crowd gets involved and enjoying your performance...

[daddycross]

He’s not here for the competition. The competition is here for him

[truemuz]

No matter how many years pass, there are 2 things that Will never change:
1) Fairytale being the best Eurovision song
2) Alexander's face

[maxmoore]

This is the most Eurovision song to exist and you can’t change my mind.

[doomgaming]

Most musicians hate performing their popular songs but Alexander seems to love Fairytale. Power to him, I love it too.

[mibsam]

This song is like wine. The older it gets better it becomes

[patrycjamagdalena]

Everyone: it's impossible not to age at all in 10 years

Alex: hold my violin

[smoothcriminal]

He doesn't even seem like he's trying
He's just enjoying himself

[Bts_girlyever]

You cannot tell me he sang this gem on eurovision 15 years ago 😢
