With Lordi's hard rock win the year before, the 2007 contest was the year of rock, pyrotechnics and humor!

It's amazing when a great song wins and this is a GREAT song.

If you would've told me in 2007 that Serebro would become one of my favorite bands today, I would've laughed at you.

Wow, Switzerland, wow. You really outdid yourselves with this novelty act.

Georgia was entering the Eurovision song contest for the first time, and I'd definitely never heard any music from the small nation in the Caucasus Mountains.
