Our first guest got millions of fans all over the world
when he had a tremendous victory for Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest.
After several years as a successful artist, he now debuts as an author.
Welcome to Alexander Rybak
T: Take a seat.
T: So nice to have you here.
H: Welcome back.
A: It's great to be back and it's a long time since the last visit. 
And I am looking forward to seeing Shawn Mendes.
T: Every time we say Shawn Mendes...this happens.
A: Shawn the sheep...
T: I have just showed the audience my sofa- What does your sofa look like?
A: If the violin is not laying there and I am practicing, there are 
a lot of letters. A lot of letters and stuffed animals and such.
T: What kind of letters?
A: Bills... Just kidding. It's letters from fans I 
read when I need some buttering up.
T: I see. What do they write?
A: That's a secret.
A: I like letters from children. From them I get the truth, some critique and some praise.
H: We have a picture of your sofa.
A: Do you see that X-box controller? Everytime I lose in online 
FIFA I read some letters afterwards. Just to...
T: You are known for your music, and have also been an actor...
A: I hope so
T: And now you have become an author.
A: I'm very proud for ...
T: If you are not pleased with the applause, you can just say "Shawn Mendes".
A: I'm very pleased and very proud that I finally have completed it.
H: Taken the step?
A: I have worked with this for three years. It's not only a book, there is music too.
And I have with me the best actors I wanted to have.
T: So you should read the book and listen to the 
music at the same time? How does it work?
A: That is the point... There are three CD's... now I sound like 
a salesman; " And not only that, you also get 3 CD's"
A: It's an audio book with songs in between, 
where different characters are singing.
H: And what's the price of the book?
H: The title is "Trolle and The Magic Fiddle".
A: yes.
H: Are you the magic fiddle? No, you are probably Trolle.
A: It's a troll who lives alone and doesn't trust anyone.
He lives alone in the forest. And he plays a fiddle now and then and sings a bit.
A: But it is not me, because he lives alone, 
while I live in the middle of Aker Brygge where...
T: The book is about being different, and dare to be different.
A: Yes, and not at least dare to support those who are different.
A: I wont pretend that there are a lot of upbringing in the book, it is meant as entertainment, but there is a moral saying it is important to be friends.
T: How was you when you were younger? Were you different?
A: Naaa, I was from Belarus... I'm still are....
A: I of course noticed that people found that.... but I didn't noticed that I was bullied.
A. On the other hand I noticed very well when other children 
were bullied, those who were born different from the others.
A: There was a lot of injustice at school. I was so sad on 
their behalf. I didn't do anything with it though .
H: But now you...
A: I remember that ... yes, I hope this book help 
preventing children from bullying each others.
T: There is one character in the book who is 
called "The Hulder King", who is the women's man.
A: Yes.
T: Is he based on you ?
A: He is not the women's man. The women don't like him 
because he kidnap girls to become his hulder wife.
A: Everytime he wakes up from hibernation...
T: Then I hope he is not you.
H: He is not based on you Alex, right?
A: No, no, It is based on the one I don't want to be.
H: I see.
H: But you are sigle at the moment?
A: Yes.
H: That's also a word we...
A: That was a mixed kind of applause.
T: Could you have a girlfriend now with all your travelling a lot...
A: I could legally.
H: On the paper.
A: I think that love and relationship demands 100% ... what do you call it?
H: Dedication, focus.
A: Yes.
H: There is no "cramming" in love.
A: You can't both be good in FIFA and....
T: That man is full of wise words.
H: I got a bit hot when I said it.
T: Earlier this year Alexander, you took part in a Russian TV-show.
A: Yes
H: This we have looked forward to
T: You have seen it?
T: It is about imitate or perform songs by famous artists, 
both female and male, in full costumes.
A: Not only costumes, but facial masks too. "One to One" it is called.
It's about trying to be completely alike the ones you are imitating,
but we never succeeded. But it was very popular in Russia.
T: It has been watched by millions of Russians.
A: Yes.
T: We have a clip. Let's watch it.
T: Its a crazy concept. You are dressed up, 
have make-up and are totally unrecognizable.
A: Yes, it's a crazy concept. But that's what fun. In Norway we find that 
funny and weird. In Russia they find... I have to live with two different cultures.
A: So about "Hver gang vi møtes"(Everytime we meet) the Russians found it weird that I presented my new song in front of six people sitting around a table eating fish.
H: When you say it that way I see what you mean.
A: But that about the female imitation. When I was invited I said ; "Okay, I take part on the condition that I I am not going to imitate any woman. That should be in the contract" .
A: And they accepted that actually, but half way in the show I watched the other male participants who tried to imitate a woman,
A: And I thought like ; "What the heck, I can be a far better woman than those guys".
H: Fantastic.
T: Alexander, you will stay with us. Now we will welcome a teenager sensation.
T: This introduction will take a while.
T: Only 17 years old he has already topped the charts in his 
home country Canada, USA and here in Norway.
Time Magazine has ranked him as one of 2014's most influential teenagers.
And wherever he shows up, the situation becomes hysterical.
Watch this.
T: Are you ready?
T: Are you ready?
Audience: YES!
T: Place welcome Shawn Mendes!
T: Is it always like this?
S: Yes.
T: Very nice to have you here.
S: Thank you for having me.
T: You're from Canada. You are 17 years old.
S: Yes.
T: You have already been topping the charts in The US, in Canada and here in Norway.
H: Well done.
T: And it all started with you posted a 6 second long 
clip covering Justin Bieber. What happened?
S: I don't know. I posted this Vine and I went to bed that night,
and I woke up the next day and the video had like ten 
thousand likes and I had ten thousand followers.
S: So I just kept posting more and it kept
growing and I pushed it over to YouTube,
to Instagram and to twitter and the next thing I 
knew I was sign to recordlable and have my own music.
S: It happened really fast.
H: Amazing. The impact of social media.
S: It is amazing. I would never have topping those charts without these guys I 
would never been able to do it. I mean, they have really done it for me to be honest.
T: We have to see those 6 seconds.
S: Right.
S: I regret it every single day that I put no shirt on in that Vine. I regret it every day.
T: But it worked.
S: It must have done something.
H: And that was it. That was your break.
S: That was it. That was that little thing there, 
and my sister is filming me in my room.
T: What was your life before uploading those videos ?
S: I don't know. Just like an average 17...16...no 15 years old. I'm going to...don't know my own age.
S: I was going to school every day and things kind of changed when I posted that.
T: You are from Canada. Where you a hockey player.
S: I played hockey for two years. Is hockey big here in Norway?
H: Yes it is. And we have.. one of the biggest stars in New York Ranger is a Norwegian.
S: Awesome.
H: Zucca.
S: Cool, very cool.
H: That's the only thing I know about hockey.
S: That's okay. I don't know much either.
T: Alexander won the Eurovision Song Contest.
S: That's awesome man, very cool.
S: I was looking by the way at your... you have very cool hair.
S: I have seen you before somewhere online. Something... YouTube 
videos or somewhere. I have seen your face. You look very familiar.
A: That's a bonus.
S: Your life changed over night as well.
A: Yes. I think that when people get famous without really talent, 
they just get scared. They don't know what to do.
A: But when real musicians like Shawn gets famous, 
then it is just... the fans you know they love him because...
Well we hang...I mean I 'll be your fan.
A: We like you because your performances they are sincere, 
and that 's what sets you apart from other insincere people.
S: Thank you very much.
S: Thank you.
T: And now you are touring all over the world. But you are still in school, right?
S: Yes, I'm still doing it online and stuff. Not easy.
T: No teachers travelling with you?
S: No, we can't afford that yet. Maybe next year.
H: But do you ever skip the homework or do you always do them?
S: Well, I do my best to not skip it, but
sometimes... no, no, no, do your homework.
A: Well said.
H: Your parents are travelling with you?
S: Yes, my dad is here right now. They are travelling with me.
H: How is that like?
S: It's great. I mean we didn't travel a whole lot as a family so...
I have travelled more this one year 
than my parents have their whole life.
S: So it is a lot of travelling and my whole we family get to 
see the whole world. It is really amazing actually.
T: You obviously have a lot of fans, both in the audience here...
T: ...but also outside. There are many outside aswell.
T: There they are.
S: Wow! It's crazy.
T: What are your fans like?
S: They are crazy. They are great though.
T: How will you describe you fans?
S: Crazy and incredible. They are really cool.
S: I wouldn't be half as cool without them. They make me look good.
T: When we announced you were coming to the show, hundreds of 
girls where crying and saying that you really changed their lives.
T: How is that make you feel?
S: I'm hoping in a good way I changed their life.
I think as a songwriter and a musician you are trying to write good messages to people.
Anything people can relate to, and that is kind of the whole point of it.
S: And that is a really big deal for me because that is what I am going for.
T: You are going to play for us soon. 
S: Yes.
T: But before that we just have to ask you for a favour.
S: Yes.
T: Could you make a 6 second vine with us?
S: Yes, we can.
H: Because we want to make it in America.
S: Let's do it.
H: We everything we need here. We have .... Eh, Alex you got the...
A: Am I in too?
H: What is this called in English?
S: A tambourine, not it's not a tambourine, it's a triangle.
H: It's basically... a triangle.
A: But I need a...
S: We call it a triangle.
H: And in Norwegian it's almost the same. Okay, let's do this.
T: Hold these.
S: So you guys know the song.
H: Oh yeah!
H: Cool.
S: You're gonna do it?
H: This will be a disaster.
S: It doesn't work, so someone...
A: I can go back there.
H: Yes, come to me back here.
S: Someone has to hold it.
H: Okay.
S: Let's do it this way.
S: This will be easier. 
H: I'm so glad you are an expert.
S: Here, so you hold it there. You can get us all in the shoot. This is going to be...
S: When you are ready you touch the screen. 1,2, 3, 4
H: There we are.
S: It's perfect... That's perfect.
H: Very good. Well done.

T: Thank you.
H: Tomorrow we will be famous all over the world.
S: The triangle.
H: It's so easy.

T: Alexander stays with us... We take one more applause. 
Ladies and gentlemen - Shawn Mendes!
T: When we are back (after the break) the host and physicist Selda Ekiz will be here.
H: She will do a spectacular experiment for us. That will be fun I guess.
T: Aune Sand, who will sing "Senkveld's" HIT-Roulette is coming.
H: And Jan Eggum has done me a big favor in "Senkveld Surprise" tonight.
T: See you soon.
T: Welcome back to "Senkveld". Alexander Rybak is still with us,
and soon Aune Sand will visit us and sing in the "Senkveld's" "HIT-Roullette".
T: Our next guest is maybe one of the most known physicist.
Many of you remember her as the host of "Newton" and "Anno".
Now she has launched a book full of explosions and funny experiments.
T: Give a big applause use to Selda Ekiz.
H: So nice to have you here.
SE: I'm looking forward to this.
H: Now we have prepared for something. It will be what we call a chemistry action .
SE: Chemistry is just applied physics, so it will be physics action.
H: Physics action. Good. I was arrested at once.
You just arrived from Fredrikstad and the recording of "Anno".
SE: Yes, we are recording the second season. We are actually soon done. It's very fun.
H: This time it all happens in the 1721 or something. 
SE: It's in the 17.... do you hear how weird it becomes? It's...
H: Seriously is that... I was sure... it's not Helium that 
gives you a light voice. Why do your voice get dark.
SE: This is FS6. You must try.
PK: Try it.
SE: You'll get a very dark voice because it is a heavy gas.
H: It sounds like you have been breathing in something else.
SE: It's very fun.
H: It's cool.
PK: Look I'm Fodor.
H: This is PK.
SE: What we are going to do now is actually an experiment where we are using this material as gas, because it evaporator as you can see.
H: And what happens to those balls? What's the point with the balls?
SE: We will blow them up in the air. We call it "Balls in the air".
H: That's great.
H: Is there anything we need to know due to safety now. Will it slam?
PK: It will slam pretty loud.
H: So people have to close their ears.
SE/PK: Yes.
H: Okay. 
SE: Not yet. I will tell you when.
SE: Now we actually have to...
PK: Come on, come on.
SE: And the cool thing about this experiment is 
that you never know when it blows off.
H: So we will startled now?
PK: I think that ...
H: If you are bored at a party. invite Selda and PK.
H: Selda you stays with us. Thanks a lot to PK.
T: Harald, come over here.
T: Well done.
H: That was fun.
SE: Balls all the way over here?
SE: Did you like it?
A: It was great.
T: It was a beautiful picture.
H: Fantastic.
H: Thank you. It was educational in a way.
SE: It goes fast. That's the point with "Children not admitted" (her book). 
Many experiments and not so much pedagogy maybe.
T: You will stay with us, and now we are ready for our regular post 
which we look very much forward to today.

AS: When I see so beautiful young ladies and balls that explodes 
and all that foam, I get very warm in my hearth.
T: I had expected something like that from you. And answer like that. Great.
T: You usually live the artist life in New York. Now you are 
home in Norway. What are you doing these days?
AS: I have launched a book with the title "Jordbærmus"(Strawberry Mouse).

treasure in life we have to take good care of. And that is what the book is about.

T: Spice Girls with "I wanna be"
H: And as an honor to you we have added in 
Alf Prøysen with "Musevisa" (The Mouse Song)
T: Which song do you hope for?
AS: "Musevisa" sounded interesting. I think I chose that one.
H: Unfortunately it is not you who decide that.
T: That's right. It's the roulette that decides.
T: You push this one, and we will see which song it will be.
AS: Oh, wow!
T: Do you know that song?
AS: No, it's unknown for me.
AS: But Queen is legendary, and that I feel I am too. So this will be exciting.

T: Are you ready?
AS: Yes.
TI Here is the answer.
H: Let's see.
