'''[[Melodifestivalen]] 2005''' was the selection for the 45th song to represent [[Sweden]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. It was the 44th time that this system of picking a song had been used. Five semifinals had taken place to select the ten songs for the final, in [[Gothenburg]], [[Linköping]], [[Skellefteå]], [[Växjö]] and a Second Chance round in [[Stockholm]]. The final was broadcast on [[SVT1]] and [[Sveriges Radio]]'s P4 network. [[Nanne Grönvall]]’s defeat was met with consternation by many people, who felt that a gap of over 150,000 votes should be enough for victory. There were even calls for SVT to scrap the jury system altogether and simply let the televotes decide the winner. For a comparison, it was noted that Grönvall had received more votes than Lena Philipsson, the popular 2004 winner. However, SVT said that there was nothing they could do about the result. Four finalists topped the Swedish charts. [[Alcazar (group)|Alcazar]] and ''Alcastar'' got to number one the week before the final, [[Jimmy Jansson]] got to the number one some weeks after that with ''Vi kan gunga'', [[Martin Stenmarck]]'s winner ''Las Vegas'' hit the top spot the week after that, while Nanne Grönvall and ''Håll om mig'' topped the charts the week after that.


'''{{lang|sv|Melodifestivalen|i=unset}} 2005''' was the 45th edition of the Swedish music competition {{lang|sv|[[Melodifestivalen]]|i=unset}}, which was organised by {{lang|sv|[[Sveriges Television]]|i=unset}} (SVT) and took place over a five-week period between 12 February and 12 March 2005. The winner of the competition was [[Martin Stenmarck]] with the song "[[Las Vegas (Martin Stenmarck song)|Las Vegas]]", who represented {{esccnty|Sweden|y=2005}} in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2005]], where he came nineteenth with 30 points.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Final of Kyiv 2005 - Eurovision Song Contest |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/kyiv-2005/grand-final |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=eurovision.tv}}</ref>

=== Wildcards ===
Unlike past years, where all Melodifestivalen participants were chosen by a selection jury, starting in [[Melodifestivalen 2004|2004]], four out of the 32 participants were selected directly by the contest's producers, in order to increase musical and artistic breadth. Each artist, called "wildcard", participated in a different heat. The wildcards in 2005 were the following:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Melodifestivalen 2005 - Jokrar |url=https://mellopedia.svt.se/index.php/Melodifestivalen_2005#Jokrar |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=Mellopedia |language=sv |publisher=SVT}}</ref>

=== Heat Jury ===
{{clear}}
In the first two heats, a jury was used to select two of the five songs that would proceed to the second round of voting, with the intent of giving some entries that could be slow in accumulating votes a chance. However, after heat 2, SVT dissolved the jury as it had chosen entries that were already voted by the viewers together with criticism that this reduced the people's influence in the result. The jury consisted of:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Melodifestivalen 2005 - Deltävling 2: Linköping - Jury |url=https://mellopedia.svt.se/index.php/Melodifestivalen_2005#Jury_2 |access-date=2024-02-25 |website=Mellopedia |language=sv |publisher=SVT}}</ref>

Winning song"Las Vegas" by Martin Stenmarck
2004 ← Melodifestivalen → 2006

Melodifestivalen 2005 was the 45th edition of the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, which was organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and took place over a five-week period between 12 February and 12 March 2005. The winner of the competition was Martin Stenmarck with the song "Las Vegas", who represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, where he came nineteenth with 30 points.[1]

Nanne Grönvall's defeat was met with consternation by many people, who felt that a gap of over 150,000 votes should be enough for victory. There were even calls for SVT to scrap the jury system altogether and simply let the televotes decide the winner. For a comparison, it was noted that Grönvall had received more votes than Lena Philipsson, the popular 2004 winner. However, SVT said that there was nothing they could do about the result. Four finalists topped the Swedish charts. Alcazar and Alcastar got to number one the week before the final, Jimmy Jansson got to the number one some weeks after that with Vi kan gunga, Martin Stenmarck's winner Las Vegas hit the top spot the week after that, while Nanne Grönvall and Håll om mig topped the charts the week after that.

Format

[edit]

The heats for Melodifestivalen 2005 began on 12 February 2005. Ten songs from these heats qualified for the final on March 12, 2005. This was the fourth year that a heat format had been used for the competition.

Wildcards

[edit]

Unlike past years, where all Melodifestivalen participants were chosen by a selection jury, starting in 2004, four out of the 32 participants were selected directly by the contest's producers, in order to increase musical and artistic breadth. Each artist, called "wildcard", participated in a different heat. The wildcards in 2005 were the following:[2]

Artist Song Heat
Alcazar "Alcastar" Heat 1
Sanne Salomonsen "Higher Ground" Heat 2
K2 feat. Alannah Myles "We Got It All" Heat 3
Nanne Grönvall "Håll om mig" Heat 4

Heat Jury

[edit]

In the first two heats, a jury was used to select two of the five songs that would proceed to the second round of voting, with the intent of giving some entries that could be slow in accumulating votes a chance. However, after heat 2, SVT dissolved the jury as it had chosen entries that were already voted by the viewers together with criticism that this reduced the people's influence in the result. The jury consisted of:[3]
