NOS organises 'Night of the Eurovision Song Contest'
00.13 hrs - 01.03 hrs: Eurovision Countdown
This programme will give viewers a lot of background information about The Eurovision Song Contest. We'll get to know all ins and outs about Helsinki, this year's host of the Contest. We'll get to see all preparations of the event and of course there will be a lot of attention for this year's participants.
01.04 hrs-01.25 hrs: Edsilia in Helsinki
This will be a rerun of the broadcast preliminary to the semi final. Viewers will get to see how Edsilia Rombley, this year's Dutch representative, prepares for her Eurovision comeback. We will also get an answer to the question how the contest has changed between her first participation in 1998 and her participation this year. Besides that, we will also get to know about the people around Edsilia.
01.25 hrs - 4.05 hrs: Semi Final 2007
Rebroadcast of the semi final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Edsilia will take part with the song On top of the world, written by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Maarten ten Hove and Martin Gijzemijter. The music was composed by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Edsilia's husband. Cornald Maas will be the Dutch commentator again; during the final he will be accompanied by Paul de Leeuw, who will be spokesman as well again for The Netherlands.

Very sad to hear that Paul de Leeuw will give the votes again. 
What an embarassment!
I also liked Esther Hart, both as a performer, and as a spokeperson.
@rUUD ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD:
if you found funny the jokes of this idiot, then you should reconsider your sense of houmor....
Is Paul de Leeuw this awful fat and ugly gay guy who gave the results of the dutch televoting last year??? He was horrible: drunk, fat, ugly and his jokes were worse than everything..this gy is horrible, please get him out of the contest...BOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH H!! :-)
NOO! Not Paul de Leeuw.....
Why can't we just have Cornald Maas like we used to
Yes, Yes, Yes...Paul de Leeuw giving the votes again. That will certainly be one of the things I will be looking forward to on May 12th.
God so lame PAUL!they should ask esther hart!! shes soooo nice
Come on, it dragged on and on forever. It is ok to make a joke but you have to know when to stop. I was so very embarassed.
Oh common, the only fun part of the final last year was Paul giving the votes. It made the contest bearable.
I can't belief they asked Paul de Leeuw again to give the Dutch votes. As if we don't have anybody else than that ugly fat idiot.
