Baku 2012 Warm Up: Helsinki 2007

The Show:
Now here we have another fantastic show, in the Eurovision archive, the 52ns edition held in Helsinki, when Lordi did what many Finnish thought would be impossible, but they were wrong, a great edition of the contest, held to celebrate the rock songs of the world, because many countries decided to send rock entries, so did the host country, and much of the interval acts was either rock inspired or national.



The Hosts:
Jaana Pelkonen & Mikko Leppilampi, who did a very nice job, they kept the mood up, and they did a really professional job, mostly Jaana, but she has before been involved with Eurovision both in Finland, and Europe, but they did really good, the did team up very well, and made sure that people were on all the way, and nicely that it was all about smiles and happiness, but the fun was missed.

The Stage:
This stage was just absolutely amazing, it was something really modern and new, I really like how the stage was made of a ladder that goes around, and with some type of fences, really nice, and it was really nicely combined with the LED screens, which was put together, to just one big screen, instead of many screens every were, also the stage had the perfect size, not to small and not to big.

The Songs:
Respect for all the countries who took part, because people began to send some rock songs, due to Lordi's victory, and this is what makes this year special, I liked to majority of the songs, and it was a good mix of fun songs and rock songs, but also some ballads of course but not as many as normally, and I really enjoyed this year's songs, but to many were of low quality, but still many good songs.



The Winner:
Serbia was the winner, and even on their first participation as an independent country, which was really surprising, my personal favorite was Ukraine and Belarus, and I had some difficult times, listening and accepting the fact that Serbia won, but I had to live with it, and I did, because she actually had a great voice, but to me Ukraine would had been a special victory.
