Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest
''Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest'' was a television programme organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to commemorate the Eurovision Song Contest's fiftieth anniversary and to determine the Contest's most popular entrant of its fifty years. It took place at Forum, Copenhagen on 22 October 2005. The host broadcaster was Danmarks Radio (DR). Fourteen songs from the Contest's first half-century, chosen through an internet poll and by a jury, contested the event.〔Michael Dwyer (20 October 2005). (Dearth of the cool ). ''The Age''. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 Thirty-one EBU-member countries broadcast the concert (although the United Kingdom, Italy and France did not) and televoting and juries in these countries decided the winner.〔. Eurovision.tv. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 2.5 million votes were cast in total on the night.〔Jeffrey de Hart (25 October 2005). (ABBA's "Waterloo" named best Eurovision song ). Billboard.com. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕
The event was hosted by Katrina Leskanich and Renārs Kaupers. The event was won by Swedish group ABBA, performing "Waterloo"; the band had originally won the Contest for Sweden in 1974.
To coincide with the event, the EBU released two CDs featuring Eurovision songs from the previous fifty years. Two DVDs with original Eurovision performances of these songs were also released.〔Roel Phillips (9 April 2005). (100 Eurovision songs on CD and DVD ). Retrieved on 26 December 27.〕
==Selection of venue and hosts==
In June 2004, the European Broadcasting Union announced that it was to hold a concert to celebrate fifty years of the Eurovision Song Contest. The event was to be held on 16 October 2005 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England. The BBC was to host the concert.〔Sietse Bakker (18 June 2004). (50th anniversary show to be held in London ). ESCtoday.com. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 The Royal Albert Hall was reportedly unavailable, so in August 2004 the EBU announced that DR would stage the event instead. Eurovision Song Contest supervisor Svante Stockselius said that Denmark's previous experience of hosting Eurovision events (the 2001 Contest and the first Junior Eurovision Song Contest) were influential in the Union's choice. 1998 Eurovision winner Dana International, who appeared at the event, later went to suggest that the reason behind the change of host country was also due to the fact that the BBC wanted to present the show "with humour" as though to poke fun at the Contest, an idea that proved to be less popular with the EBU. The BBC went on to broadcast their own 50th anniversary program, ''Boom Bang-a-Bang: 50 Years of Eurovision''.〔BBC (16 May 2006). (Boom Bang a Bang: 50 Years of Eurovision ). bbc.co.uk Retrieved on 26 January 2014.〕 The event was codenamed ''Extravaganza''.〔Sietse Bakker (26 August 2004). (50th anniversary show in Denmark ). ESCtoday.com. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 On 25 October 2004 Copenhagen was confirmed as the host city for the event, which was now scheduled to take place on 22 October 2005.〔Roel Phillips (25 October 2004). (Extravaganza on 22 October in Copenhagen ). ESCtoday.com. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 In May 2005 ''Congratulations'' was confirmed as the official name of the concert. A month later DR announced that Forum Copenhagen would host the programme.〔Sietse Bakker (16 June 2005). (The 14 songs for Copenhagen ). ESCtoday.com. Retrieved on 26 December 2007.〕 On 9 September 2005, DR announced that Katrina Leskanich and Renārs Kaupers would present the concert. Leskanich was the lead singer of Katrina and The Waves, who won the Contest for the United Kingdom in 1997. Kaupers is the lead singer of Latvian group Brainstorm, who represented Latvia on its debut in the Contest in 2000.〔Sietse Bakker (9 September 2005). (Congratulations hosted by Katrina and Renars ).
