The 2007 EuroVision song contest in Helsinki there was 24 countries finalist. Ukraine was there already thank to Tina Karol last year who took seventh place. This year Ukraine sent Verka Serduchka, a gay singer guy. Ukraine performed 18th.  Verka did great; she pumped up the whole concert whole with her fast, rhythmic song, which you can easy sing a long. There were many roomers that Ukraine will win, because many countries said that they will support her even before the contest. But this was not meant to be because Ukraine simply could not effort it. In 2012 Ukraine is hosting World Cup. And right Ukraine has to concentrate on building hotels and many other things in order to prepare for that. We were leading the chart for a while then Serbia slowly started catching up and eventually won. Their really deserved the price, their song was great it called The Prayer. It was filled with meaning and emotion unlike our song. I also believe this contest is more of a political thing. Because it was obvious when some countries announced their votes and the majority of votes was given to counties that they had or have conflict with and pretty much hate each other. But still it also gave people joy and happiness. Congratulations to Nikola!!! Good Job!!! J
