Star guest to open the voting was Santa Clause, who came from northern Finland for this special occasion. The outcome of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest caused commotion in Western Europe, where audience and media critisized the credibility of the results. The results were even brought up in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Swedish paper Expressen wrote about feeling "shame" over the reactions in many Western European countries, and claimed that "the Eurovision Song Contest had never been better" and calling the Serbian winner a "worthy, historic winner." About the winner Serbia, participating as an independent country for the first time, won the contest, closely followed by respectively Ukraine and Russia.
