10 and 12 May 2007 in Helsinki, what's the best song?
I like the song of Switzerland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-dDxp8Cez0

The Dutch song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi6-EQ8jJLQ) is also pretty cool, I hope she will sing it in Dutch

That's half the fun. The voting is my favorite part of the show.

NOTE 2: Why in sing in french??

Well, nowadays there is a free language rule; nations are not forced to send songs in their official language(s). Most nations use this rule to sing in English.

This year the Israeli song is sung in Hebrew, English and French, and the Romanian song is sung in a staggering seven different languages: Romanian, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and even Neapolitan. . Oh, and the Norwegian entry has a couple of lines in Spanish.

This year Bonoparti.lv entered the Latvian Song Contest with a song in Italian and won.
The same applies for Evridiki in Cyprus.
