The third Finnish semi final is taking place right now. Another three singers are presenting two songs each and the favourite song of each artist will be chosen to move forward to the final round. The winning songs will be chosen by televoting. A webcast of the show, which is working perfectly and is in good quality, is available (see below).

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.
