Estonia decided its representative for Helsinki. Gerli Padar won Eurolaul 2007 last Saturday with more than 55,000 votes. She was also the back up jury's favourite as well. Gerli will perform Partners in crime in the semi-final of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest on the 10th May.

Super Saturday is already in the past, 4 more songs have been selected for Helsinki, among them the Estonian one. Gerli Padar got the ticket of Eurolaul 2007, the Estonian national selection, and she'll be the 13th representative of the country at the Eurovision Song Contest. She was selected by televoting, a procedure held in two rounds. The 3 winners that made it to the second round were: Hele Kõre & Kristjan Kasearu with Romeo & Julia, Gerli Padar with Partners in crime and Laura with Sunflowers.

These are the full voting figures of the first round (total votes: 55,324):

During the show, there was a back up jury standing by in the unlikely eventofproblems with the televoting. The jury voted for Gerli Padar and her song as well.

Gerli Padar is Tanel Padar's sister, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2001 together with Dave Benton and their song Everybody. Estonia will have to compete in the semi-final this year, as Sandra Oxenryd with Through My Window didn't qualify to the Athens' final last year.
