Now live: third Finnish semi final
Euroviisut 2007
Twelve artists chosen by YLE and the music industry will each perform two songs in the four semi finals and televoting will send the best one to the final in Turku on 17th February. The four semi finals, each with three artists and six songs will be held in Tampere at the Tohloppi TV studios while the final will move to Turku’s Karibia like last year. This selection method was used for the first time in 2006 and proved successful not only because it brought Finland its first victory but also gave birth to several domestic radio hits besides Lordi’s huge success on sales.

i give in!!!!!!!!!
@ Graham : I'm on Telenet in Belgium.
But I just saw on Oikotimes that the results are already in ???
So I'm guessing the show is over already and the livestream has now switched to radio...
i wanted to watch the polish final. ESC DODO who is your internet provider
please someone give me some advice how to connect
I'm having problems with the livestream too... the links provided - even the one on the YLE site - gives a livestream of Yleisradio Oy 
Guess I'll just go grab myself some drinks and something to nibble and get ready for Melodifestivalen... provided that webcast goes wel :-/
Same opinion as Lucio f, but I do want Hanna to win!
keep getting .........Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct.
these webcast links never work for me. i advise everyone not to use tesco for your internet provider. absolutely crap. i am on broadband so you would think it would easily connect
Well, Lovex's Anyone Anymore was the best by far, imho...
(It was funny, for those who don't speak Finnish, in that interval thing with Simo Frangen when they asked people in the street what's the best ESC song ever, nearly eveyone said Lordi's song... well, what else can you expect Finns to say... 
)
1st semifinal: Hanna Pakarinen
2nd semifinal:Katra
3rd semifinal: Johanna Kurkela
Watching finnish tv, makes me wonder: "why have I returned to Italy (the worst european country)
and not stayed in Finland?"
I hope Lovex doesn't go to Eurovision because both of their songs are bad! Johanna Kurkela really impressed me with her songs and performances. Kentala is neither here nor their.
JOHANNA IS THE BEST OUT OF THIS SEMI FINAL
Lovex is no good for esc, the singer can't sing...
mine worrking fine now aswell thank you
Kentala's "Left My Heart Behind" is so far the best entry in the Finnish semi-finals; Johanna Kurkela's "Jossain Metsäin Takana" is sweet, but perhaps not for ESC 2007. I hope Finland will choose a good, un-Lordi song for this year.
@ michael williams
It works now, i had to save the file or link, whatever...
Sim Kim, I don't know how you tried before but try this: http://www.yle.fi/eu(...)ion/main.php?id=604, click on the link Suora lähetys lauantaina!
@ michael williams
It wont work when i click on the link...
@ sim kim
it should work ,im watching it on windows media player
How do i watch this webcast ? I got Windows Media Player and it wont show it... Please answer me
The webcast is absolutely perfect for me (I'm in UK), in fact the best I've seen so far in any country's webcast...
I wanted to see this mainly for Lovex, to see what's the hype, and their 1st song at least seemed to me worth the hype... (Although I don't like the teenage girls screaming for them in the background most of the time )
The webcast is perfect here!
I love Jaana!!!! I want to see her again hosting ESC!!!
perfect webcast, Johanna Kurkela is ok
Ehh what media player do i have to use ?
It has good picture... but it always disconnects after 2 mins for me 
.
