The list of participants for Euroviisut 2007 will be made public in November. A recent poll on the popular Viisukuppila website makes it clear what Finns want: Techno (22%), etno (17%) or pop rock (16%). Heavy rock, rock, pop, r&b, schlager and hip hop are not wanted.
Techno would be something new to ESC and Euroviisut as well. The closest thing to techno we have had so far is Firevision's "Stars are on our side" in 2005. It survived the semifinal, easily being second only to Geir Rönning's "Why" but in the final the expert jury dropped it from the superfinal. It is generally thought it would have done very well in the televoting. Darude anyone?
Etno has been a more familiar feature in Euroviisut, most recently by Riikka's "Toarie" and Wäinötär's "Kihlaus", not forgetting Edea's "Aava" in 1998.
