24 European countries went head to head in the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland.
The competition was watched by millions of people all over the world. Singers get really excited about taking part, but it wasn't a good night for Ireland's Dervish - they came last with only three points. Ouch!
Most of the countries had to qualify for the final, but France, Germany, Spain and the UK automatically got a place because they pay for the competition.
Scooch were Flying the Flag for the UK but the other countries didn't seem to like it. The band only got 19 points and came second from last.
Roger Cicero from Germany was among the acts tipped to win before the final started, but they had to settle for xx place.
Verka Serduchka from the Ukraine was one of the most popular acts on the night but their poptastic performance only made it to 2nd place. Bad luck guys!
But it was Marija Serifovic from Serbia who won the contest, scoring 268 points with her ballad, Molitva, which means Prayer.
