Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The national final was held in Podgorica on 4 March 2005. It featured 14 Serbian and 10 Montenegrin songs that had earlier been pre-selected in each republic. "Zauvijek Moja" (Forever Mine) by the band No Name, a qualifier from Montenegro's semifinal, was the controversial winner of the event which was decided by a mixture of jury selection and televote. The Serbian favourite Jelena Tomašević with the song Jutro did not receive any points from the Montenegrin jury while No Name received a considerable amount of points from the Serbian jury.The probable partisan feeling that led to such a polarised outcome may be partly attributable to the fallout from an earlier heated dispute, initiated when the Serbian qualifiers had been actively promoted on the airwaves in the run-up to the final, in a breach of the rules agreed between the two sides. Before allowing "Zauvijek Moja" to be confirmed as Serbia and Montenegro's entry, the EBU launched an investigation into a number of formal complaints, which also related to hotly disputed allegations of plagiarism. However, after prolonged deliberations, the song was given the green light. The song won the award for the best composition in the contest. The song is written by Milan Peric and composed by Slaven Knezovic.
The group No Name was formed on 19 November 2003 in Podgorica. Their first success was 2nd place in ‘The Evening of New Stars’ at the ‘Suncane Skale’ music festival in Herceg Novi. The band has only released a few songs.
