Totte is Zillah's three-year-old (stuffed animal) chimpanzee. The duo talk, sing, and perform magic tricks together for their comical performances. For the winning performance, Zillah & Totte sang Herreys "Diggi-loo diggi-ley" on a stage with large letters that spelled TOTTE. In the middle of the song, Zillah fell backwards over the letters and Totte blamed her for destroying their chance to win. "Now you owe me a million!" said Totte to Zillah before first demanding the audience to vote for him and then sweetly asking for their vote. The strategy worked as they not only won the jury's votes but also votes of the public. | url=http://www.svd.se/dynamiskt/noje/did_15635965.asp | title=Buktalaren Zillah vann 'Talang 2007' | newspaper=Svenska Dagbladet | language=Swedish | date=1 June 2007 Zillah & Totte received 34% of the votes for first place.

- During Talang 2007, Melissa Jacobsson-Velandia was a student in the music program at Södra Latin, an elite gymnasium in Stockholm for Sweden's best artists and musicians. She won several scholarships and contests for piano playing, e.g., she won the 2006 SPPF (Swedish Piano Instructor Association) Inspiration Scholarship,{{Cite web |url = http://www.sppf.net/aktuellt.html |title = pianopedagogiska nyheter & information |publisher = Svenska Pianopedagogförbundet |language = Swedish |date = 29 May 2006 |accessdate = 16 June 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090107021738/http://www.sppf.net/aktuellt.html |archive-date = 7 January 2009 |url-status = dead | url=http://www.sppf.net/varbulletin2007.pdf#page=9 | format=PDF | title=PRISTAGARE I STEINWAY PIANO FESTIVAL 2007 | publisher=SVENSKA PIANOPEDAGOGFÖRBUNDET: VÅRBULLETIN 2007 och kallelse till Årsmöte | language=Swedish | year=2007 | issue=2 | pages=9–10 | accessdate=16 June 2007
Controversy and criticism
To make the show appeal to a wide audience, the producers attempted to change the jury's decision during the filming of episode 3. | url=http://www.expressen.se/1.657277 | title=Juryn gör uppror | work=Expressen | first=Linna | last=Johansson | language=Swedish | date=28 April 2006 | accessdate=31 May 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614131854/http://www.expressen.se/1.657277 | archive-date=14 June 2011 | url-status=dead TV4 wanted a mix of males and females to continue from the auditions whereas Karlsson felt that quality should determine whether a contestant continued or not.
During the semi-finals, the jury intentionally only selected adult competitors to continue to the finals since they thought the public would only vote for children and the final program would become a children's show. | url=http://www.expressen.se/1.685795 | title=Taktiken mot barnen | work=Expressen | first=Maria | last=Brander | author2=Nathalie Joo | language=Swedish | date=19 May 2007 | accessdate=31 May 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614131812/http://www.expressen.se/1.685795 | archive-date=14 June 2011 | url-status=dead Debates in the TV4 Talang 2007 forum about the public's tendency to vote for child acts and whether adults and children should compete in the same show were ongoing throughout the entire season. | url=http://www.expressen.se/1.705084 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20130418074533/http://www.expressen.se/1.705084 | url-status=dead | archive-date=18 April 2013 | title=Ingen talang var värd en miljon | work=Expressen | first=Anders | last=Björkman | language=Swedish | date=April 2010 | accessdate=1 June 2007 The host, Peppe Eng, had to rush the jury through their comments for each contestant to keep the show on schedule. Furthermore, TV4 sabotaged the show's climax by showing the name of the winner to the TV audience before the winner was announced; when the card containing the winner's name was removed from the envelope, the winner's name faced the camera.{{Cite news |url = http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,1084765,00.html |title = Peppes tv-fiasko |work = Aftonbladet |first = Sandra |last = Wejbro |language = Swedish |date = 1 June 2007 |accessdate = 1 June 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070603155556/http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,1084765,00.html |archive-date = 3 June 2007 |url-status = dead
