New 7 Wonders of the World Announced

It's over... the new 7 Wonders of the World were revealed in my home town Lisbon today, it was an amazing ceremony from the Luz Stadium (my soccer team's stadium SLBenfica).
The show was present by Ben Kingsley, Hilary Swank and the Indian beauty Bipasha Basu, there was lots of lights, fireworks and floating...
Completely spectacular was the presentation of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World within a gigantic book hanging in the air, it was given a brief description and it was pointed out that only one, the Great Pyramid of Giza (Cairo, Egypt) is still standing!!

Although with a lot of different amazing performers like Alessandro Safina, José Carrera, Chaka Khan and Joaquin Cortez who really took the stage by storm was the incredible Jennifer Lopez. She performed the new song "Que Hiciste" and a medley of her biggest successes from "Love Don't Cost a Thing" to "Get Right"... but the biggest moment of the night was when Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo came down to announce one of the New Wonders!!

Back to what's important the new 7 Wonders were chosen worldwide by over than 90 million votes on the first global election and here they are:
  • Statue of Christ the Redeemer (Brazil)
  • Machu Picchu (Peru)
  • Chichen Itza pyramid (Mexico)
  • Great Wall of China (China)
  • Petra (Jordan)
  • Colosseum (Rome, Italy)
  • Taj Mahal (India)
that's 4 out of my 7 favorites...

But the biggest surprised of the night was the declaration of a new global election now for the New 7 Wonders of Nature!! Find more information here.
