AleziRadio Festival of Songs 2007 is the fiftieth edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. The competition was held as usual in 16th of May 2007 by the authorities of Radio Araminhaes (RA). This is the fourth time that Aramna hosted the competition after doing so previously in 1974, 1982, and 1991 after the victory of Tamar Lilnavais with the song "Antessilos"
After Tamar's victory exactly the day after on 17th of May 2007, the Alezian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) who holds responsibility over AleziRadio (AR) announced that Radio Araminhaes has signed an agreement to host the 50th festival, which is an important occasion, and as such was met with high expectations and euphoria. The next day, Radio Araminhaes opened a bidding process for Aramnan cities that were interested on hosting the occasion until the next week. Eventually, Radio Araminhaes' newly-made Arico.Net account announced interest from a record eighteen venues in six cities and towns. Among these includes all of the previous hosting venues of Aramnan-held AleziRadio Festival of Songs.
However, these record-breaking amount of bidding were met with criticism as some of the bids presented were of low-quality and "unworthy of an event as big of a scale like ARFOS". And as such, instead of going into one round, AleziRadio and Radio Araminhaes introduced a new method of bidding by holding the vote over a two-hundred official plus fifty selected public member board. According to official ARFOS bidding rules, members in the jury must be impartial and don't have any relation with the bidding venues.
Each voting round will eliminate the lowest five each round until only two to five options remained in which the final vote calculated the final decision. The results of the bid can be seen below.

Participating Entries and Results
According to the rules of the AleziRadio Festival of Songs, any international participant participating in the festival would be automatically have its' two entries run at number ten and twenty in the running order, and as such StrayaRoos was immediately put accordingly. Due to its' non-Alezian status, StrayaRoos couldn't participate in the Independence Award. The last time that this happened is when Carrelie participated in 1989.
- "*" = the singer won the Independence Award which was held the day before the competition.
- The song for the Independence Award for the year was Don't you Sleep Away by Molly Katten from 1943
