For a fan of Finland like myself, it was heartwarming to see the sea of Finnish flags during Your hosts for tonight - Jaana Pelonen and Mikko Lemppilampi. They did an excellent job and especially Mikko was a joy to watch during both the countless of rehearsals and the actual live event - always optimistic and always ready to crack jokes to cheer up the audience, the viewers, Jaana or all the countless people working behind the scenes to make sure the event would be a success. The first of 24 songs is by Maria Sestic from Bosnia & Herzegovina. No matter how hard I try, I simply can't recollect the song. I guess it was just too forgettable. Still, thanks in part to votes coming from the many former Yugoslav republics, they managed to place 11th. D'Nash from Spain with Dima Koldun from Belarussia with Koldun's resemblence to princess Diana is striking. But things get even weirder, listen to this - Koldun's mother has been the president of the Belarussian The dancers climbed their way up the wall and the song climbed up its way to place number 6.

Event - Eurovision 2007 final performances at Hartwall Areena. 24 countries battle it out, but only one can be the winner.

Photography - The seats meant for photographers to be able to take their pictures were horrible. Not only were they so far from the stage, that only those with 400mm or 500mm fixed lenses were able to take decent photos, they were also to the side, which is simply unacceptable. Only a few select major press agency photographers (Reuters, Scanpix) were allowed down and into the middle, the rest of us had to cope with the horrible seating on the side. Well you live and learn. Be sure to check out the additional comments beneath many of the pictures as well!
