Good evening and welcome to Porto!
We are gathered here tonight to find the best song in Global Music 2007!
Last year, David Fonseca won the Super Final for Portugal, which is why we are here tonight.
But tonight we will crown another Super Champion.
All the countries that took part in a final in Global Music in 2007 are competing tonight.
They are each represented by the song, that did the best for them.
Some countries do, however, have more than one song in the Super Final.
That's because they manage to win more than one edition in 2007, and you can't hold a Super Final without all the winners!
We will have two semi finals with a total of 51 songs. Only 12 songs from each heat will qualify for the Grand Final
You can vote in the usual ESC-style for any of the songs below, even if you yourself submitted it to the contest.
There are no excuses for not actively taking part in finding
