The 2007 final

This year will go down in Eurovision history has one of the best contests ever. There were many different styles of music, original stage presentations and almost perfect vocal performances. The postcards were funny and we even had Santa Klaus to open the voting and deliver the prize!!!

1. Bosnia & Herzegovina: Gentel song with a soft performance. Good voice, awfull dress.
2. Spain: Happy latin song, nice boyband performance but week voices.
3. Belarus: What a sexy and magical performance...
4. Ireland: I always this women could not sing and tonight was no surprise - worse performance of the night. A deserved last place!
5. Finland: Powerfull performance from Hanna. Beautifull warm voice.
6. FYR Macedonia: No doubt Karolina can sing, but the song was not that great.
7. Slovenia: I always had my personal doubts about this one. Alenka was good but the song was not all that good.
8. Hungary: Emotional performance from Magdi.
9. Lithuania: Simple but effective stage presentention. To quiet for Eurovision.
10. Greece: Barbara Dex Award? Week performance.
11. Georgia: I like to hear this on the cd but live it's a bit of a mess.
12. Sweden: Glamourous performance of a glam rock song.
13. France: My biggest dissapointment of the nigh. Average vocals, nice pink clothes! Love the cat.
14. Latvia: Romantic song, romantic performance, but jeans and top hat dont really mix together.
15. Russia: This song really surprised my tonight. Good pop song and sexy performance from Serebro.
16. Germany: I love this song. The english part was a bit unnecessary. Roger really has some good swing.
17. Serbia: I tought this couldn't get any better but Marija gave it even more and this was trully a winning performance. Best winner of the last 10 years?
18. Ukraine: TANZEN! Mad performance from the a true ESC Diva Verka Serduchka.
19. U.K.: Good performance from a somewhat old fashioned song.
20. Romenia: They did the best they could with this week song.
21. Bulgaria: Much better them in the semifinal. Very contemporary song.
22. Turkey: This really made europe shake! Strong performance with a nice choreography.
23. Armenia: I didn't like this live. Hayko was a bit nervous. Original three and the details of the blood from the singers heart.
24. Moldova: Much better then in the semi.

Serbia is the first country to win in it's first attempt. This is also the first time since 1998 that a song in a language that was not english won Eurovision. And the first ballad to win since 1996.
