Azerbaijan is the Land Of Fire tonight

02 February 2008 at 16:24 CET

Each participant sings two songs. One song featured as promotional song in an earlier stage of the Azerbaijani search for a Eurovision Song Contest representative. However, tonight's winner will most likely present another song should this be considered necessary. Tonight's event is focussed on the selection of the performer.
