Quite good contest, quite good DVD
The 2005 contest is a good contest, and the first to be released on DVD in anamorphic wide-screen. The opening and interval acts are better than others (like the 2008 one).

Picture Quality: Although in anamorphic wide-screen for the first time, the picture looks less sharp than later contest DVDs (especially the 2008 one). If you on a TV using the 'no-overscan' feature (eg. a HDTV with this feature), a black bar keeps appearing/moving from shot to shot (though it disappears if you view with overscan).

Audio: There is no option to hear the commentary that was in the broadcasts.

Overall: Quite good contest but without the picture quality of the later ones. It's a shame they don't release a Blu-ray set with all recent contests on, even the ones not recorded in high def, like this one.

Great to have a clean DVD
I must say it is fabulous that now the Eurovisions are being released properly on DVD.

It means it's possible to have a "clean" copy of the Contest - without Wogan talking in the MIDDLE of the songs, therefore spoiling the show. I've been wanting this for many years... and as of 2004, it finally happened. Hooray!

Brilliant to watch!!!!!!!!
I am totally pleased with this dvd version of the eurovision song contest Kiev 2005. The only thing I found annoying was that Terry Wogan (coming from the UK) is not on it commentating, there was no choice to add this on. Otherwise the film was brilliant. One to watch especially with all the extras added. If your a fan this is for you!

5 stars, warts an' all
The technical quality of the Eurovision Song Contests depend on the resources of country that hosts it. That is why during the shows there are sound problems that were present during the live broadcast and obviously are carried over to the dvd. Like fractions of sound going off or even in the semi final, during Norway's Wig Wam song, the song almost turns mono and seems never to recover. Anyway, we all love the show in spite, and maybe because of all it's warts.
Incredibly dull presenters, like this year's male one: heellooooooooo0 Kyiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvv. What is this Late Night With Conan O'Brien? And he never changes his speech. Thank god the presenters of the show are to be found only little during the semi, and only at the voting of the final.
The show is a mixture of great songs, poor performances, non-vocals, weirdos, powerful ballads, crazy costumes, crazy costume changes, you name it.
I cannot thank the ESC enough for briging the shows out on dvd.
I agree a sheet for a program with 50+ chapter stops should have been included, but hey, I love it anyway, and so will you
