- You are somehow born to it, he said.

But behind the bright exterior, the high, distinct cheekbones, the straighter the back and the dark hair, as he lovingly strokes to the side several times, Kristian Kjærlund a nervousness and a self-criticism, who has lived in him for many years.

He has not known whether he was for men, women, or both. And he has had a hard time singing in front of others.

Kristian Kjærlunds own explanation is that he was too alternative, and that the judges did not know what they have to put up with him.

He subsequently tried to come up with in several bands and went to a musicalaudition, where he even ended up being typecastet to have to sing poorly on purpose.

- I got no many times in the course of three years. It was never a hard no, but people told me that there eddermame should work, if I could manage it. There were so many lukewarm reception, as in the length enough drove me out a little.

And so I pulled me really much back. I have always thought that I could be something, but I've never known whether it was something special worth, he says.
