Finland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Leave Me Alone", written by Martti Vuorinen, Miikka Huttunen, and Hanna Pakarinen, and performed by Pakarinen herself. The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), organised the national final Euroviisut 2007 in order to select its entry for the contest. In addition, Yle was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, after winning the previous edition with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" performed by Lordi.

Contents

Yle selected twelve artists with two songs each to compete in the national final, which consisted of four semi-finals and a final, taking place in January and February 2007. Twelve entries ultimately competed in the final on 17 February where votes from the public selected "Leave Me Alone" performed by Hanna Pakarinen as the winner.

As the host country, Finland qualified to compete directly in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 5 during the final, Finland placed seventeenth out of the 24 participating countries with 53 points.

Background

Prior to the 2007 contest, Yleisradio (Yle) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Finland forty times since its first entry in 1961. [1] It has won the contest once in 2006 with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" performed by Lordi.

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, Yle organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. Yle had selected its entries for the contest through national final competitions that have varied in format over the years. Since 1961, a selection show that was often titled Euroviisukarsinta highlighted that the purpose of the program was to select a song for Eurovision. On 11 August 2006, the broadcaster announced that its entry for the 2007 contest would be selected through the Euroviisut selection show. [2]

Before Eurovision

Euroviisut 2007

Euroviisut 2007 was the national final that selected the Finnish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The competition consisted of five shows that commenced with the first of four semi-finals on 20 January 2007 and concluded with a final on 17 February 2007. The three stages were hosted by Finnish presenters Jaana Pelkonen and Heikki Paasonen. All shows were broadcast on Yle TV2, via radio on Yle Radio Vega and online at yle.fi. The final was also broadcast via radio on Yle Radio Suomi. [3] [4]

Format

The format of the competition consisted of five shows: four semi-finals and a final. Three artists each competed with two songs in each semi-final and the winning song per act qualified to complete the twelve-song lineup in the final. The results for the semi-finals and the final were determined exclusively by a public vote. Public voting included the options of telephone and SMS voting. [5] [6]

Competing entries

Twelve artists were directly invited by Yle to compete in the national final following consultation with record companies and presented during a press conference on 8 November 2006. Among the competing artists was former Finnish Eurovision entrant Laura who represented Finland in 2002. [7] The entries competing in each semi-final were presented in weekly preview programmes on Yle Radio Suomi between 15 January 2007 and 5 February 2007. [8] [9] On 6 January 2007, Jann Wilde and Rose Avenue had been disqualified from the competition after their songs "Lover Lover Lover" and "Soft Is Selling" had already been publicly released before the semi-finals. [10] The artists were later allowed by Yle to submit replacement songs by 10 February. [11]
