Equal opportunities for all!
Host Broadcaster YLE adopted the True Fantasy as the theme for this year's contest. The Finnish design agency Dog Design won a competition to design the visual theme of the contest, which incorporated colourful, kaleidoscopic patterns. The high-tech stage was constructed in the shape of a kantele, a traditional Finnish instrument. The contest's Presenting Partner was TeliaSonera, International Presenting Partners were Nobel Biocare and the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All.
The Final opened with Lordi, the monster rock band that brought Finland its first ever Eurovision Song Contest history the year before. Along with Jaana Pelkonen and Mikko Leppilampi, Krisse Salminen co-hosted the show from the green room and the Senate Square. Star guest to open the voting was Santa Clause, who came from northern Finland for this special occasion.
The outcome of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest caused commotion in Western Europe, where audience and media critisized the credibility of the results. The results were even brought up in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Swedish paper Expressen wrote about feeling "shame" over the reactions in many Western European countries, and claimed that "the Eurovision Song Contest had never been better" and calling the Serbian winner a "worthy, historic winner."
About the winner
Serbia, participating as an independent country for the first time, won the contest, closely followed by respectively Ukraine and Russia. In 2000, 2003 and 2006, Russia was also close to victory, but so far the country has not been so lucky as Ukraine, winner of the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest.
* It was the first time that the Eurovision Song Contest was produced and broadcast in High Definition. British broadcaster BBC and Swedish broadcaster SVT aired the contest in HD-quality on their respective HD channel;
* Almost 9 milion votes were cast all over Europe, either by telephone or SMS.

Natalia Barbu Lyrics

Obsession, we hide in the back
And devotion's finding a way
When highness exists for those people who pray
Every day is like a start
Ups and downs, tears and laugh
Never let nobody in
And step right on your dream
If you really wanna take this trip
Fighting anywhere we go
To face this cruel world
We gotta just fight forever
Believing, forfeiting the past
The onfall's adapting the hearts
Each people will gnaw our wishes, no more
Every day is like a start
Ups and downs, tears and laugh
We never stop, just fight
Never let nobody in
And step right on your dream
If you really wanna take this trip
Fighting anywhere we go
To face this cruel world
We gotta just fight forever
Fighting anywhere we go
To face this cruel world
We gotta just fight forever

The best entry of all time from Moldova. The vocals were so on point.
@IzayoiArwena

@jimmyboi7859
Moldova 2010 and 2017 aren't best
@flavius9722
This is the best performance I've ever seen from Moldova. Trăiască Moldova!
@JD-to2cg
@B.I-S Mai ai sa scrii prin toate comentariile ca Moldova este Romania?? Nu ai dreptate, te rog frumos nu atribui ceea ce ne apartine noua Romaniei, multumesc anticipat.
@JD-to2cg
@B.I-S istoria am invatato bine, nu te ingrijora, sunt destul de informata. Ceea ce am vrut sa spun e ca tu atribui Romaniei talentele nascute in Republica Moldova. Nu conteaza ca am fost o tara 200 de ani in urma. Dute si zii Americii ca e Marea Britanie, si o sa vezi ce o sati raspunda. Ce obisnuinta aveti toti sa spuneti la Moldoveni sa invete istoria, pun pariu ca o stiu mai bine decit tine, plus la asta sunt si filolog, vorbesc 5 limbi diferite, am studiat evolutia limbii pe parcursul istoriei. Consider ca stiu destule ca sa afirm ca Republica Moldova este diferita de Romania.
@JD-to2cg
@B.I-S spre deosebire de voi, noi asta niciodata nu o facem, pentru ce sa ne artibuim ceea ce nu ne apartine. Am citit atitea comentarii negative despre moldoveni din partea romanilor, am impresia ca ne aveti de niste prosti/saraci/betivi/degradati, etc. Cum vrei ca sa respect Romania, cind prietenii mei revin de acolo si imi povestesc de comportamemtul lor porcesc. Presupun ca sunt si oameni buni, dar de ce marea majoriatate se considera superioara noua? Noi nu am facut absolut nimic ca sa meritam asa atitudine. Poti sami explici de ce va purtati asa urit cu ai nostri?
Nu trebuie de uitat ca si la voi sunt multi oameni saraci/prosti/needucati si betivi, am impresia ca vedeti numai mizeria altcuiva si nu o observati pe a voastra, presupun ca va face placere sa va simtiti superiori pe baza unei tari mai slab dezvoltate. Moldova nu este sustinuta de Romania si nici de UE. A da bani cu imprumut nu e ajutor. Moldova se tine pe toti oamenii care muncesc peste hotare si trimit bani acasa.
