The '''Eurovision Song Contest 2005''' was the 50th annual [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. The contest took place at the [[Palace of Sports (Kiev)|Palace of Sports]] in [[Kiev]], [[Ukraine]], following [[Ruslana]]'s win in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004|2004 Contest]] with the song "[[Wild Dances]]". The contest consisted of two shows: the semi-final and final, which took place on 19 and 21 May 2005, respectively. The shows were hosted by [[Maria Efrosinina]] and [[Pavlo Shylko]]. Thirty-nine countries participated, including the débuts of [[Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest|Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest|Moldova]] and the return of [[Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest|Hungary]], which was last represented in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]].

Organizers hoped that this event would boost Ukraine's image abroad and increase [[tourism]], while the country's new [[Government of Ukraine|government]] hoped that it would also give a modest boost to the long-term goal of acquiring [[European Union]] membership.

The [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005|winner for 2005 was Greece]] with the song "[[My Number One]]" performed by [[Helena Paparizou]], which scored 230 points, beating Malta into second place by a margin of 38 points. This was the first victory for Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest. Romania, Israel and Latvia rounded out the top five. The "[[Eurovision Song Contest#Big Four and Big Five|Big Four]]" countries (France, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom) all placed in the bottom four position of the scoreboard in the final.

==Overview==

The official logo of the contest remained the same from [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004|the 2004 contest]] with the country's flag in the heart being changed. Following [[Istanbul]]'s 'Under The Same Sky', the [[slogan]] for the 2005 show was 'Awakening', which symbolised the awakening of the country and city ready to present itself to [[Europe]]. The postcards (short clips shown between performances) for the 2005 show illustrated [[Culture of Ukraine|Ukraine’s culture]] and heritage along with a more modern and [[Industrial society|industrial]] side to the country.

The hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev were [[television presenter]] [[Maria Efrosinina|Maria "Masha" Efrosinina]] and [[DJ]] [[Pavlo Shylko|Pavlo "Pasha" Shylko]]. Previous [[Eurovision Song Contest winners|winner]] [[Ruslana]] returned to the stage in Kiev to perform in the [[Intermission|interval]] act and to [[interview]] the contestants backstage in the '[[green room]]'. The famous Ukrainian boxers [[Vitali Klitschko|Vitali]] and [[Wladimir Klitschko]] opened the [[televoting]], while a special trophy was presented to the winner by Ukraine's [[President of Ukraine|president]], [[Viktor Yushchenko]].

==Publicity==
An official [[CD]] and [[DVD]] was released and a new introduction was an official [[Lapel pin|pin]] set, which contains heart-shaped pins with the flags of all thirty-nine participating countries. The [[EBU]] also commissioned a book "The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History" by British/American author [[John Kennedy O'Connor]] to celebrate the contest's fiftieth anniversary.<ref>O'Connor, John Kennedy. The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History. Carlton Books, UK ISBN 978-1-84442-994-3</ref> The book was presented on screen during the break between songs 12 and 13 (Serbia and Montenegro, Denmark). The book was published in English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Finnish.

During the semi final, there were a few volume falls in the sound, most notably during the Norwegian song, shortly after the intro. These were not fixed for the DVD release.

==Problems==

2005 was no exception for scandals regarding the representatives from the countries participating. Germany's entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest rejected calls to quit after her producer admitted manipulating the country's pop charts with mass purchases of her single.
[[Gracia Baur]], defended her producer David Brandes, also behind Swiss entry [[Vanilla Ninja]], and said she would go to the finals in Kiev despite complaints from other German singers. Bulgaria's debut was overshadowed by a scandal. The song "[[Lorraine (song)|Lorraine]]" by [[Kaffe]] was accused of plagiarism. The song sounded too similar to another one released by Ruslan Mainov in 2001. There were also problems in Malta with the electricity supply during the contest, so TV viewers were unable to watch their national selection from the very beginning. There was a controversy regarding the Turkish entry: TRT got a false jury which led to the victory of the song [[Gülseren]], which the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2003|2003]] winner [[Sertab Erener]] said was not the best choice. There were similar controversies in [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]] which led to an eventual victory for [[Martin Vučić]]. The Ukrainian song had to be changed because it would bring a political message to the people, and EBU stated that no politics could be involved in the contest. The entry for Serbia and Montenegro was also overshadowed by a scandal and an accusation of plagiarism. Portugal's entry, "[[Amar (song)|Amar]]", had had very poor sound quality, with the female singer's microphone failing many times on stage.

It is also notable that the programme lasted just short of 3.5 hours. This was mainly due to the extremely long voting procedure, where 39 countries voted, reading out every single score. Many people, including [[United Kingdom]] commentator [[Terry Wogan]], noticed this and commented about the marathon-like voting procedure, when [[Russia]] voted he stated "How many more countries have we got? What time is it?". Because the show overran so badly, the [[EBU]] changed the way the votes were announced in 2006 into a much shorter method, where only the top 3 scores were read out (the rest appeared on the scoreboard automatically).

[[Ruslana]] was also intended to be a presenter for the show, but was pulled out before the contest for numerous reasons, including her poor [[English language|English]] skills. She opened the contest, and did do a few brief interviews in the green room at a few different stages in the event.

==Participating countries==
Thirty-nine countries participated in the 2005 Contest. [[Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest|Hungary]] returned to the contest after a six-year absence, last competing in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]]. [[Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest|Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest|Moldova]] competed in the contest for the first time.

===Returning artists===
[[Constantinos Christoforou]] represented [[Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest|Cyprus]] for the third time, having previously represented the nation at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1996|1996]] contest as a solo artist and at the [[Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002|2002]] contest as part of the group [[One (band)|One]]. [[Helena Paparizou]] previously represented [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest|Greece]] in [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001|2001]] as part of the duo [[Antique (duo)|Antique]]. [[Selma Björnsdóttir|Selma]] previously represented [[Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest|Iceland]] in [[Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999|1999]]. [[Chiara Siracusa|Chiara]] previously represented [[Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest|Malta]] in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]]. [[Anabel Conde]], who represented [[Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest|Spain]] in [[Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995|1995]], returned as a backing vocalist for [[Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005|Andorra]].

==Results==

===Semi-final===
The semi-final was held on 19 May 2005 at 21:00 ([[Central European Time|CET]]). 25 countries performed and all 39 participants voted.

Note that Serbia and Montenegro withdrew from the 2006 contest and so their automatic spot in the final was given to Croatia.

==Scoreboard==
The EBU introduced an undisclosed threshold number of [[televote]]s that would have to be registered in each voting country in order to make that country's votes valid. If that number was not reached, the country's backup jury would vote instead. In the semi-final this affected Monaco, Andorra and Albania, and Andorra, Monaco and Moldova in the final.

However, the broadcaster announced their withdrawal from the competition on 18 March 2005 after the [[EBU]] informed them that the rules of the competition require them to broadcast the Israeli entry during the live show and enable viewers to vote for the nation, which contravened a Lebanese law prohibiting any acknowledgement of [[Israel]]. As the withdrawal period for the contest had passed, Télé Liban forfeited the return of their participation fee and potentially faced further fines from the EBU.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esctoday.com/4060/breaking_news_lebanon_withdraws/|title=BREAKING NEWS: LEBANON WITHDRAWS|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=18 March 2005|publisher=Esctoday.com|accessdate=9 August 2008}}</ref>

The '''Eurovision Song Contest 2005''' was the 50th annual [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. The contest took place at the [[Palace of Sports (Kiev)|Palace of Sports]] in [[Kiev]], [[Ukraine]], following [[Ruslana]]'s win in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004|2004 Contest]] with the song "[[Wild Dances]]". The contest consisted of two shows: the semi-final and final, which took place on 19 and 21 May 2005, respectively. The shows were hosted by [[Maria Efrosinina]] and [[Pavlo Shylko]]. Thirty-nine countries participated, including the débuts of [[Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest|Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest|Moldova]] and the return of [[Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest|Hungary]], which was last represented in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]].

Organizers hoped that this event would boost Ukraine's image abroad and increase [[tourism]], while the country's new [[Government of Ukraine|government]] hoped that it would also give a modest boost to the long-term goal of acquiring [[European Union]] membership.

The [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005|winner for 2005 was Greece]] with the song "[[My Number One]]" performed by [[Helena Paparizou]], which scored 230 points, beating Malta into second place by a margin of 38 points. This was the first victory for Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest. Romania, Israel and Latvia rounded out the top five. The "[[Eurovision Song Contest#Big Four and Big Five|Big Four]]" countries (France, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom) all placed in the bottom four position of the scoreboard in the final.

==Overview==

The official logo of the contest remained the same from [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004|the 2004 contest]] with the country's flag in the heart being changed. Following [[Istanbul]]'s 'Under The Same Sky', the [[slogan]] for the 2005 show was 'Awakening', which symbolised the awakening of the country and city ready to present itself to [[Europe]]. The postcards (short clips shown between performances) for the 2005 show illustrated [[Culture of Ukraine|Ukraine’s culture]] and heritage along with a more modern and [[Industrial society|industrial]] side to the country.

The hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev were [[television presenter]] [[Maria Efrosinina|Maria "Masha" Efrosinina]] and [[DJ]] [[Pavlo Shylko|Pavlo "Pasha" Shylko]]. Previous [[Eurovision Song Contest winners|winner]] [[Ruslana]] returned to the stage in Kiev to perform in the [[Intermission|interval]] act and to [[interview]] the contestants backstage in the '[[green room]]'. The famous Ukrainian boxers [[Vitali Klitschko|Vitali]] and [[Wladimir Klitschko]] opened the [[televoting]], while a special trophy was presented to the winner by Ukraine's [[President of Ukraine|president]], [[Viktor Yushchenko]].

==Publicity==
An official [[CD]] and [[DVD]] was released and a new introduction was an official [[Lapel pin|pin]] set, which contains heart-shaped pins with the flags of all thirty-nine participating countries. The [[EBU]] also commissioned a book "The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History" by British/American author [[John Kennedy O'Connor]] to celebrate the contest's fiftieth anniversary.<ref>O'Connor, John Kennedy. The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History. Carlton Books, UK ISBN 978-1-84442-994-3</ref> The book was presented on screen during the break between songs 12 and 13 (Serbia and Montenegro, Denmark). The book was published in English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Finnish.

During the semi final, there were a few volume falls in the sound, most notably during the Norwegian song, shortly after the intro. These were not fixed for the DVD release.

==Problems==

2005 was no exception for scandals regarding the representatives from the countries participating. Germany's entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest rejected calls to quit after her producer admitted manipulating the country's pop charts with mass purchases of her single.
[[Gracia Baur]], defended her producer David Brandes, also behind Swiss entry [[Vanilla Ninja]], and said she would go to the finals in Kiev despite complaints from other German singers. Bulgaria's debut was overshadowed by a scandal. The song "[[Lorraine (song)|Lorraine]]" by [[Kaffe]] was accused of plagiarism. The song sounded too similar to another one released by Ruslan Mainov in 2001. There were also problems in Malta with the electricity supply during the contest, so TV viewers were unable to watch their national selection from the very beginning. There was a controversy regarding the Turkish entry: TRT got a false jury which led to the victory of the song [[Gülseren]], which the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2003|2003]] winner [[Sertab Erener]] said was not the best choice. There were similar controversies in [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]] which led to an eventual victory for [[Martin Vučić]]. The Ukrainian song had to be changed because it would bring a political message to the people, and EBU stated that no politics could be involved in the contest. The entry for Serbia and Montenegro was also overshadowed by a scandal and an accusation of plagiarism. Portugal's entry, "[[Amar (song)|Amar]]", had had very poor sound quality, with the female singer's microphone failing many times on stage.

It is also notable that the programme lasted just short of 3.5 hours. This was mainly due to the extremely long voting procedure, where 39 countries voted, reading out every single score. Many people, including [[United Kingdom]] commentator [[Terry Wogan]], noticed this and commented about the marathon-like voting procedure, when [[Russia]] voted he stated "How many more countries have we got? What time is it?". Because the show overran so badly, the [[EBU]] changed the way the votes were announced in 2006 into a much shorter method, where only the top 3 scores were read out (the rest appeared on the scoreboard automatically).

[[Ruslana]] was also intended to be a presenter for the show, but was pulled out before the contest for numerous reasons, including her poor [[English language|English]] skills. She opened the contest, and did do a few brief interviews in the green room at a few different stages in the event.

==Participating countries==
Thirty-nine countries participated in the 2005 Contest. [[Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest|Hungary]] returned to the contest after a six-year absence, last competing in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]]. [[Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest|Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest|Moldova]] competed in the contest for the first time.

===Returning artists===
[[Constantinos Christoforou]] represented [[Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest|Cyprus]] for the third time, having previously represented the nation at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1996|1996]] contest as a solo artist and at the [[Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002|2002]] contest as part of the group [[One (band)|One]]. [[Helena Paparizou]] previously represented [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest|Greece]] in [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001|2001]] as part of the duo [[Antique (duo)|Antique]]. [[Selma Björnsdóttir|Selma]] previously represented [[Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest|Iceland]] in [[Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999|1999]]. [[Chiara Siracusa|Chiara]] previously represented [[Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest|Malta]] in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1998|1998]]. [[Anabel Conde]], who represented [[Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest|Spain]] in [[Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995|1995]], returned as a backing vocalist for [[Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005|Andorra]].

==Results==

===Semi-final===
The semi-final was held on 19 May 2005 at 21:00 ([[Central European Time|CET]]). 25 countries performed and all 39 participants voted.

Note that Serbia and Montenegro withdrew from the 2006 contest and so their automatic spot in the final was given to Croatia.

==Scoreboard==
The EBU introduced an undisclosed threshold number of [[televote]]s that would have to be registered in each voting country in order to make that country's votes valid. If that number was not reached, the country's backup jury would vote instead. In the semi-final this affected Monaco, Andorra and Albania, and Andorra, Monaco and Moldova in the final.

== Other countries ==
* {{Esc|Czech Republic}} – Czech broadcaster [[Česká televize]] (ČT) initially applied to participate in the 2005 Contest, however, the broadcaster reconsidered débuting in the contest and later withdrew their application on 3 December 2004.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esctoday.com/3435/czech_republic_withdraws/|title=CZECH REPUBLIC WITHDRAWS|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=3 December 2004|publisher=Esctoday.com|accessdate=13 September 2014}}</ref>
* {{Esc|Lebanon}} – Lebanese broadcaster [[Télé Liban]] confirmed Lebanon's début in the contest and selected the song "Quand tout s'enfuit" performed by [[Aline Lahoud]] as their entry. However, the broadcaster announced their withdrawal from the competition on 18 March 2005 after the [[EBU]] informed them that the rules of the competition require them to broadcast the Israeli entry during the live show and enable viewers to vote for the nation, which contravened a Lebanese law prohibiting any acknowledgement of [[Israel]]. As the withdrawal period for the contest had passed, Télé Liban forfeited the return of their participation fee and potentially faced further fines from the EBU.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esctoday.com/4060/breaking_news_lebanon_withdraws/|title=BREAKING NEWS: LEBANON WITHDRAWS|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=18 March 2005|publisher=Esctoday.com|accessdate=9 August 2008}}</ref>
