Winning song"Waterloo" by ABBA

Alla tiders Melodifestival (English: All-time Melodifestival) was a gala show organised by Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) to celebrate 50 years of the Eurovision Song Contest and the Swedish selection for it, Melodifestivalen. It was filmed at Cirkus in Stockholm on 21 March 2005 and broadcast on SVT1 on 8 April of the same year.[1] The ten songs performed were chosen by an online public vote to raise money for Världens Barn [sv], an initiative by Radiohjälpen to strengthen children's rights.[2]
