It has a lively Eurovision-style opening, but turns into a rather traditional Turkish song similar to the 2000 song
Turkey staged its final on February 15th. This time only 5 songs took part, but the show still ran to 90 minutes with the addition of appearances by past Turkish representatives Sedat Yüce, Pinar Ayhan & the S.O.S, & Tuba Önal.
As ever, there was an expert jury to pick just the winning song, and no other results were announced.
This year no CD of the songs either.
