==Semifinals==
The '''semifinals for Melodifestivalen 2007''' began on 3 February 2007. There were five semifinals in [[Jönköping]], [[Gothenburg]], [[Örnsköldsvik]], [[Gävle]] and [[Nyköping]] (second chance round) leading up to the final at the [[Ericsson Globe|Globen]] on 10 March, 2007.

==Preselection==


The deadline for the submission of songs was 19 September, 2006, and 3,234 songs were submitted [http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=47345&a=665915&lid=puff_665915&lpos=rubrik], falling short of the [[Melodifestivalen 2006|2006]] record. The titles and composers of the 28 semifinalists (the exceptions being the wildcards) were announced on October 10, 2006. "More Than A Girl", composed by Ulf Lindström, [[Agnes Carlsson]] and Johan Ekhé was disqualified on October 13, 2006, as Carlsson had publicly stated that she had composed the song, which could have affected the impartiality of the jury [http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=47345&a=680308&lid=puff_680308&lpos=bild]. "Alla kan bli stjärnor" was disqualified on October 16 2006, as one of the composers, Sebastian Fronda, refused to sing the song in the competition[http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=47345&a=681502&lid=puff_681767]. The two disqualified songs were replaced by "Allt vi en gång trodde på" and "Cara mia". On 1 November 2006, [[Kristian Luuk]] was confirmed as host for all six rounds of the competition. The performers of the first 28 selected songs were announced on 28 November 2006. The wildcards were announced on 26 December 2006 – they were [[Uno Svenningsson|Uno]] & [[Irma Schultz Keller|Irma]], [[The Ark (band)|The Ark]], [[Sebastian Karlsson (singer)|Sebastian Karlsson]] and [[Magnus Uggla]].
32 songs participated in the semifinals for Melodifestivalen 2007. They were divided into four semifinals with eight songs in each. The wildcard system was used once again. The first semifinal in [[Jönköping]] took place on 3 February, with favourites[http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,991670,00.html] [[Anna Book]] and [[Tommy Nilsson]] qualifying for the final. [[Uno Svenningsson]] & [[Irma Schultz Keller]] took a place in the Second Chance round alongside [[Elin Lanto]]. Among the eliminated acts was [[Andreas Lundstedt]] of [[Alcazar (band)|Alcazar]]. In [[Gothenburg]] on 10 March, [[The Ark (band)|The Ark]] and schoolteacher [[Marie Lindberg]] took the two final places, with [[Jessica Andersson]] (formerly of [[Fame (duo)|Fame]]) and [[Jimmy Jansson]] qualifying for the Second Chance round. [[Regina Lund]] and [[new romantic]] group [[Lustans Lakejer]] were among the acts that were knocked out. The third semifinal took place in [[Örnsköldsvik]] on 17 February. [[Måns Zelmerlöw]] and [[Sebastian Karlsson (singer)|Sebastian Karlsson]] qualified for the final, while favourite [[Nanne]][http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/7695] and [[Sonja Aldén]] qualified for the Second Chance in [[Nyköping]]. [[Magnus Carlsson]], member of Alcazar with Andreas Lundstedt, was eliminated. The fourth semifinal took place in [[Gävle]] on 24 February, with [[Sarah Dawn Finer]] and [[Andreas Johnson]] taking automatic final spots. The revamped Second Chance round took place in [[Nyköping]] on 3 March. [[Sanna Nielsen]] and [[Sonja Aldén]] qualified for the final, with Nielsen defeating [[Jessica Andersson]] and Aldén defeating [[Magnus Uggla]] on the way to the final. One million votes were counted in the Second Chance according to Kristian Luuk which is a record for a semifinal and the Second Chance round in Melodifestivalen.

===Changes to Second Chance round===

On 15 August 2006 [[Sveriges Television|SVT]] announced that the Second Chance round, which had traditionally taken place on the Sunday after the last semifinal, would be turned into a full Saturday night show [http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=47345&a=637174&lid=puff_637174&lpos=bild]. This means that Melodifestivalen 2007 will be a six-week competition, rather than the five-week event it has been in recent years.

As well as turning the Second Chance round into a main show in an arena, the voting for it has also been changed. A knock-out system will be introduced whereby each of the eight artists are split into four groups of two, and the voters can vote for their favourite in each pair. The four winners go through to a second round, where they will be paired off again, with the winners of each pairing going through to the final.

People can vote by televote or SMS. Televoting gives 11, 22, 44, 66, 88, 110 and 132 points to the seven most popular songs.
Winning song"The Worrying Kind" by The Ark

Melodifestivalen 2007 was the selection for the 47th song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the 46th time that this system of picking a song has been used. Five semifinals took place to select the ten songs for the final, in Jönköping, Gothenburg, Örnsköldsvik, Gävle and a Second Chance round in Nyköping. The final was broadcast on SVT1, SVT Europa, YLE FST5 and Sveriges Radio's P4 network. The pre-contest favourites were The Ark, with The Worrying Kind[1] and they won, scoring the highest marks with both juries and televoters. The Ark also received the highest amount of televotes a song has ever achieved in Melodifestivalen at the time, beating Carola's record from Melodifestivalen 2006. The record was later broken by Loreen at Melodifestivalen 2012.

Semifinals

The semifinals for Melodifestivalen 2007 began on 3 February 2007. There were five semifinals in Jönköping, Gothenburg, Örnsköldsvik, Gävle and Nyköping (second chance round) leading up to the final at the Globen on 10 March, 2007.

Preselection

The deadline for the submission of songs was 19 September, 2006, and 3,234 songs were submitted [1], falling short of the 2006 record. The titles and composers of the 28 semifinalists (the exceptions being the wildcards) were announced on October 10, 2006. "More Than A Girl", composed by Ulf Lindström, Agnes Carlsson and Johan Ekhé was disqualified on October 13, 2006, as Carlsson had publicly stated that she had composed the song, which could have affected the impartiality of the jury [2]. "Alla kan bli stjärnor" was disqualified on October 16 2006, as one of the composers, Sebastian Fronda, refused to sing the song in the competition[3]. The two disqualified songs were replaced by "Allt vi en gång trodde på" and "Cara mia". On 1 November 2006, Kristian Luuk was confirmed as host for all six rounds of the competition. The performers of the first 28 selected songs were announced on 28 November 2006. The wildcards were announced on 26 December 2006 – they were Uno & Irma, The Ark, Sebastian Karlsson and Magnus Uggla.

Changes to Second Chance round

On 15 August 2006 SVT announced that the Second Chance round, which had traditionally taken place on the Sunday after the last semifinal, would be turned into a full Saturday night show [4]. This means that Melodifestivalen 2007 will be a six-week competition, rather than the five-week event it has been in recent years.

As well as turning the Second Chance round into a main show in an arena, the voting for it has also been changed. A knock-out system will be introduced whereby each of the eight artists are split into four groups of two, and the voters can vote for their favourite in each pair. The four winners go through to a second round, where they will be paired off again, with the winners of each pairing going through to the final.
