Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005

Nacionalen Evrosong 2005 was be the national final format developed by MKRTV in order to select Macedonia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The competition consisted of two stages: the first to select two artists and the second to select the best combination among the two artists performing four songs each.

128 artists were presented to MKRTV, from which 6 were selected for the next stage. However, Kaliopi, one of the originally selected artists, refused to participate. The five artists were then presented on 7 November 2004 where two finalists were chosen through a 50/50 combination of public televoting and the votes of an eight-member jury consisting of seven individual members and an eighth aggregate twenty-member press vote. The results were announced on 14 November 2004.[1][2]

The final took place on 19 February 2005 at the Universal Hall in Skopje, where Aleksandra Pileva and Martin Vučić, the two finalists, performed four songs each: three selected from a submission period opened by MKRTV and one of Pileva and Vučić's own choosing. The winner was determined over two rounds of voting. In the first round, one song per artist advanced to the second round based on the votes of an expert jury (1/3), votes cast by the audience in the Universal Hall (1/3) and public televoting (1/3). In the second round, the winner was selected by the public, audience and jury vote.[1][3] Aleksandra Pileva was the winner of the televote in both rounds, receiving six times more votes that Martin Vučić in the second round. However, Martin Vučić and the song "Ti si son" was selected as the winner after winning both the jury and audience vote.[4]

For Eurovision, "Ti si son" was translated from Macedonian to English, titled "Make My Day".
