Arguably the year when the Eastern Invasion really transformed the Contest - and entirely for the better! 2005 is a big year in every aspect, with the former Soviet, Yugoslav and Balkan nations throwing half their GDP at their performances and the full voting sequence from 39 participating countries stretching to the length of a movie in itself (it was shortened from 2006 with countries only reading out their 8, 10 and 12 pointers, and again in 2006 when the Jury/Televote scores were separated onscreen for maximum drama).

What were the expectations of Javine this year at the time? I remember the UK desperation and self-entitled fury was in full swing by this point even though we'd come 3rd only three years previous :D
 
I fear for this commentator. 6 minutes in and he already sounds like he's lost the will to live.
