MOSCOW — A boyish, fiddle-wielding Norwegian singer won the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow on Saturday, his bouncy ditty the highlight of the musical bonanza.
Twenty-five performers from across Europe competed in one of the most watched annual television events in the world.
“Fairytale,” penned and performed by 23-year-old fiddler Alexander Rybak, blew away competition. Rybak, the winner of a Norwegian television talent show in 2006, accrued the most points in Eurovision’s 53-year history. The winner was picked by a combination of telephone voting and official juries from national broadcasters in 42 nations. The Associated Press
