Europe voted in Eurovision 2007 festival and gave the winning vote to Serbia. Serbian singer Marija Serifovic performed the song "Prayer" which became favorite of the European voters. Top 5 of Eurovision 2007 are shared between Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Fins organized the contest in a highly organized, friendly and spectacular way. Twenty four contestant countries, mostly from Eastern Europe competed for the vote of European music lovers.

France voted in an interesting fashion, giving 10 points to Armenia and 12 to Turkey. Last year Turkey gave high point to neighboring Armenia. Two countries do not even have diplomatic relationship. This year, Turkey again amazed everyone by giving the highest 12 points to neighbor Armenia. Armenia gave no votes to Turkey.

Contestants from 42 countries travelled to the Finnish capital to compete in the flagship of the European Broadcasting Union's light entertainment programming on Saturday night. To host the event Helsinki pulled out all the plugs and was transformed for this year's event with giant outdoor screens erected for fans not lucky or rich enough to secure a ticket to the final at the Hartwall Arena.
