[edit] Event History
As Estonia ended 18th in the 2006 semi final, the winner will take part in the semi final on the 10th once again. ETV invited 10 Estonian songwriters to submit entries for the 2007 Eurolaul, including the songwriters behind the Estonian entries in 2000, 2002 and 2006, the lead singer of the 2005 Swiss entrants Vanilla Ninja, 2000 Estonian performer and 2nd placer in the 2005 Eurolaul, Ines, composers of the 1996, 1999 and 2005 Estonian entries, and Soul Militia, who won the contest in 2001 under the name of 2XL, along with Dave Benton & Tanel Padar.[1] Unlike in the 2006 Eurolaul, the results were determined by the televotes of the Estonian audience.
The show was presented by Marko Reikop and former Estonian Eurovision entrant, Maarja-Liis Ilus. Unlike before, the televotes took place in two rounds: The first round selected the three favourites with 56,172 televotes, while the second televoting round chose the winner with 118,949 overall votes for the round.[2]
