The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), organised the national final Euroviisut 2007 in order to select its entry for the contest.
In addition, Yle was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, after winning the previous edition with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" performed by Lordi.
Twelve entries ultimately competed in the final on 17 February where votes from the public selected "Leave Me Alone" performed by Hanna Pakarinen as the winner.
[5][6] Twelve artists were directly invited by Yle to compete in the national final following consultation with record companies and presented during a press conference on 8 November 2006.
[7] The entries competing in each semi-final were presented in weekly preview programmes on Yle Radio Suomi between 15 January 2007 and 5 February 2007.
[13][14][15] The final took place on 17 February 2007 at the Holiday Club Caribia in Turku where the twelve entries that qualified from the preceding four semi-finals competed.
[18] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2006 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final.
[19][20] Yle appointed Laura Voutilainen, who represented Finland in the 2002 contest, as its spokesperson to announce the Finnish votes during the final.
The LED screens displayed three artificial flames and colours that transitioned between black, blue, white, red and orange.
[23][24] The four musicians that joined Hanna Pakarinen on stage were Jaakko Kääriäinen, Jyrki Alanen, Mikko Määttä and Risto Niinikoski.
