The '''Eurovision Song Contest 2000''' was the 45th edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], held on 13 May 2000 at the [[Globe Arena]] in [[Stockholm]], Sweden and presented by [[Kattis Ahlström]] and [[Anders Lundin]]. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|sv|[[Sveriges Television]]|i=unset}} (SVT), the contest was held in Sweden following the country's victory at the {{Escyr|1999||1999 contest}} with the song "[[Take Me to Your Heaven (song)|Take Me to Your Heaven]]" by [[Charlotte Perrelli|Charlotte Nilsson]]. With an audience of 13,000 people present, the 2000 contest was the largest yet seen in its history.

Twenty-four countries took part in the contest. {{esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}, {{esccnty|Lithuania}}, {{esccnty|Poland}}, {{esccnty|Portugal}} and {{esccnty|Slovenia}}, which had participated in the 1999 contest, were [[Relegation in the Eurovision Song Contest|relegated]] after achieving the lowest average points totals over the preceding five contests. These countries were replaced by {{esccnty|Latvia}} in its first contest appearance, {{esccnty|Finland}}, {{esccnty|North Macedonia|t=Macedonia}}, {{esccnty|Romania}} and {{esccnty|Switzerland}} which were relegated from the previous year's event, and {{esccnty|Russia}} which returned after a two-year absence. The winner was {{esccnty|Denmark}} with the song "[[Fly on the Wings of Love]]", written by [[Jørgen Olsen]] and performed by the [[Olsen Brothers]]. Although Denmark was not a pre-contest favourite to win the title, "Fly on the Wings of Love" received the third-highest points total yet seen in the contest, gaining 195 points, and the song went on to become a success in [[Record chart|singles charts]] across Europe.

Russia, Latvia, {{esccnty|Estonia}}, and {{esccnty|Germany}} rounded out the top five, with Russia and Estonia achieving their best ever results, and Latvia achieving one of the highest placings for a début entry in the contest's history. The 2000 contest was the first to be broadcast over the [[internet]], with a [[webcast]] of the live show available in Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia through [[Microsoft]]'s [[MSN]] portals.

The 2000 contest took place in [[Stockholm]], Sweden, following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1999||1999 edition}} with the song "[[Take Me to Your Heaven (song)|Take Me to Your Heaven]]", performed by [[Charlotte Perrelli|Charlotte Nilsson]]. It was the fourth time that Sweden had staged the contest, following the {{escyr|1975}}, {{escyr|1985}} and {{escyr|1992}} contests held in Stockholm, [[Gothenburg]], and [[Malmö]], respectively.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sweden – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/sweden |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621202317/https://eurovision.tv/country/sweden |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> The selected venue was the [[Globe Arena]], also known as {{lang|sv|Globen|i=unset}} in Swedish, an indoor arena first opened in 1989 and the world's [[List of largest spherical buildings|largest hemispherical building]].<ref name="ESC2000" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Ericsson Globe |url=https://www.aegworldwide.com/divisions/facilities/ericsson-globe |publisher=[[Anschutz Entertainment Group|AEG Worldwide]] |access-date=2 April 2024 |archive-date=16 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216102912/https://www.aegworldwide.com/divisions/facilities/ericsson-globe |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=SGM Lights Up World's Largest Hemispherical Building |url=https://sgmlight.com/projects/p-5s-lighting-up-the-world%E2%80%99s-largest-hemispherical-building |publisher=[[SGM Light]] |access-date=2 April 2024 |archive-date=25 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220825185854/https://sgmlight.com/projects/p-5s-lighting-up-the-world%E2%80%99s-largest-hemispherical-building |url-status=live }}</ref> With capacity for over 16,000 people, which was reduced slightly to 13,000 for the contest, the Globe Arena was the largest venue the Eurovision Song Contest had ever seen at that point.<ref name="Decade2000" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=159–162}}

Host broadcaster {{lang|sv|[[Sveriges Television]]|i=unset}} (SVT) approached venues in three cities{{snd}}namely Gothenburg, Malmö and Stockholm{{snd}}to establish a suitable host city and venue for the contest. The venues chosen following this initial round of discussions were the [[Scandinavium]] in Gothenburg, which had previously hosted the 1985 contest; {{lang|sv|[[Malmömässan]]|i=unset}} in Malmö; and {{lang|sv|Globen|i=unset}} in Stockholm.<ref name="press release">{{cite press release |date=5 July 2000 |title=Eurovision Song Contest 2000 placeras i Stockholm |trans-title=Eurovision Song Contest 2000 takes place in Stockholm |url=http://www.svt.se/cgi-bin2/info/pressreleaser.pl?article=931177122&dir=%2Fwww-netscape%2Fns-home%2Fdocs%2Fhela%2Fpress%2F1999-01-01---1999-12-31 |url-status=dead |publisher={{lang|sv|[[Sveriges Television]]|i=unset}} |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030114202804/http://www.svt.se/cgi-bin2/info/pressreleaser.pl?article=931177122&dir=%2Fwww-netscape%2Fns-home%2Fdocs%2Fhela%2Fpress%2F1999-01-01---1999-12-31 |archive-date=14 January 2003 |access-date=2 April 2024 |language=sv}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Gothenburg 1985 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/gothenburg-1985 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531031317/https://eurovision.tv/event/gothenburg-1985 |archive-date=31 May 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Malmö was subsequently eliminated as a potential host city, due to high costs required to complete a suitable arena within the Malmömässan area and which would still have a relatively small audience capacity compared to the other venues on offer. Of the remaining options, Stockholm and {{lang|sv|Globen|i=unset}} were ultimately chosen by SVT managing director [[Sam Nilsson]] to host the event. Stockholm's bid won out over Gothenburg due to the lower costs of producing the event in the capital as well as with Stockholm having not hosted the event since 1975.<ref name="press release" />

===Qualification===
Due to the high number of countries wishing to enter the contest, a [[Relegation in the Eurovision Song Contest|relegation system]] was introduced in {{escyr|1993}} in order to reduce the number of countries which could compete in each year's contest. Any relegated countries would be able to return the following year, thus allowing all countries the opportunity to compete in at least one in every two editions.<ref name="2000 rules" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Jordan |first1=Paul |title=Milestone Moments: 1993/4 – The Eurovision Family expands |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/milestone-moments-1993-4-the-eurovision-family-expands |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513105657/https://eurovision.tv/story/milestone-moments-1993-4-the-eurovision-family-expands |archive-date=13 May 2018 |date=18 September 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> The relegation rules introduced for the 1997 contest were again utilised ahead of the 2000 contest, based on each country's average points total in previous contests.

== Format ==
=== Entries ===
Each participating broadcaster was represented by one song, which was required to be no longer than three minutes in duration. A maximum of six performers were allowed on stage during each country's performance and all performers were required to be at least 16 years old in the year the contest was held. Selected entries were not permitted to be released commercially before 1 January 2000, and were then only allowed to be released in the country they represented until after the contest was held (except as part of a compilation album of all participating songs). The final submission date for all selected entries to be received by the contest organisers was set for 10 March. This submission was required to include a sound recording of the entry and backing track for use during the contest, a video presentation of the song on stage being performed by the artists, and the text of the song lyrics in its original language and translations in French and English for distribution to the participating broadcasters, their commentators and juries. Selected performers were required to be available from 7 May, with a staggered timetable for rehearsals in the contest venue to be developed by the organisers.<ref name="2000 rules" />

Following the confirmation of the 24 competing countries, the draw to determine the running order was held in Stockholm on 21 November 1999.<ref name="2000 rules" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Order of presentation of the countries for the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 {{!}} <span lang="fr">Ordre de passage des pays pour le Concours Eurovision de la Chanson 2000</span> |url=http://www.ebu.ch/tv-cec_2000_runningorder.html |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000302180157/http://www.ebu.ch/tv-cec_2000_runningorder.html |archive-date=2 March 2000 |language=en, fr |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The results of the 2000 contest were determined using the scoring system introduced in {{escyr|1975}}: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.<ref name="2000 rules" /><ref>{{cite web |title=In a Nutshell |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=29 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626052301/https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |archive-date=26 June 2022 |date=31 March 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Each participating broadcaster was required to use [[televoting]] to determine their points, with viewers able to register their vote by telephone for a total of five minutes following the performance of the last competing entry. Viewers could vote by calling one of twenty-three different telephone numbers to represent the twenty-four competing entries except that which represented their own country. Once phone lines were opened a video recap containing short clips of each competing entry with the accompanying phone number for voting was shown in order to aid viewers during the voting window, with each household able to vote a maximum of three times.<ref name="2000 rules" /><ref name="contestAV" /> Systems were also put in place to prevent [[Advocacy group|lobby groups]] from one country voting for their entry by travelling to other countries.<ref name="2000 rules" />

Participating broadcasters which were unable to hold a televote in its country due to technological limitations could be granted an exception and their points would then be determined by a jury. Those conducting a televote were also required to assemble a jury, the votes of which could be used in case of a technical failure which prevented the televoting results from being rendered unusable. Each jury was composed of eight individuals, which was required to be split evenly between members of the public and music professionals, comprised additionally of an equal number of men and women, and below and above 30 years of age. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and ten votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected immediately following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing; if a tie still remained, the youngest jury member would have the deciding vote. All juries were based in their own countries and followed the contest through television, seeing the performances just as the public watching at home would. Juries watched not only the contest itself on 13 May 2000 but also the final dress rehearsal, which was held on the same day and produced under the exact same conditions as the actual contest. In order to maintain the integrity of the vote, reception of the contest to the juries was severed during the announcement of the results until after the points for their country had been announced; the points to be awarded from the last five countries in the voting order were also required to be sent ahead of time via [[fax]] to the contest organisers.<ref name="2000 rules" />

=== Postcards ===
Each entry was preceded by a video postcard which served as an introduction to that country, as well as providing an opportunity to showcase the running artistic theme of the event and to create a transition between entries to allow stage crew to make changes on stage.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Egan |first1=John |title=All Kinds of Everything: a history of Eurovision Postcards |url=https://escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Insight |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524073150/http://www.escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=24 May 2015 |date=22 May 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kurris |first1=Denis |title=Eurovision 2022: The theme of this year's Eurovision postcards |url=https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Plus |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501103821/https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=1 May 2022 |date=1 May 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> The postcards for the 2000 contest focussed on different aspects of life in Sweden; central to each country's postcard was a specific concept, e.g. an object or person, from that country which can be found in everyday Swedish life.

The contest took place on 13 May 2000 at 21:00 ([[Central European Summer Time|CEST]]) and lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes.<ref name="ESC2000" /><ref name="2000 rules" /><ref name="contestAV" />

The show began with a video montage, comprising various scenes of contemporary Sweden overlayed with the shadow of a human mouth, representing the contest logo, reciting the names of the 24 participating countries in English in the order in which they would perform. The montage finished with a night-time aerial shot of the Globe Arena, followed by live transmission from inside the arena, where violinist Caroline Lundgren, dressed in [[Culture of Sweden#Folk costuming|traditional Swedish folk costume]], exclaimed "Welcome Europe!" This was followed by a welcome from the presenters of the contest, Kattis Ahlström and Anders Lundin, in various languages of the participating countries.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=159–162}}<ref name="contestAV" /> The interval act, "Once Upon a Time Europe Was Covered with Ice", mixed pre-recorded elements from various musicians and people from across Europe with live performances within the Globe Arena, and was composed and edited by [[Johan Söderberg]] and produced by John Nordling. The performance within the Globe Arena featured Lundgren on violin, the [[Strängnäs]] Drum Corps, street musicians and performers from Stockholm, and the {{ill|Bounce Streetdance Company|sv}}.<ref name="contestAV" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|p=217}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Eurovision Trivia: Interval Acts throughout the decades (Part Two) |url=https://infenetwork.net/eurovision-trivia-interval-acts-throughout-the-decades-part-two/ |publisher=INFE |access-date=30 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001232553/https://infenetwork.net/eurovision-trivia-interval-acts-throughout-the-decades-part-two/ |archive-date=1 October 2020 |date=22 April 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Eurovision, de la prima editie pana in prezent – Povestea Eurovision 2000 - Primul show al decadei anilor 2000 a fost castigat de frumoasa melodie de dragoste a Danemarcei |trans-title=Eurovision, from the first edition to the present – The story of Eurovision 2000 – The first show of the decade of the 2000s was won by Denmark's beautiful love song |url=https://www.radardemedia.ro/eurovision-de-la-prima-editie-pana-prezent-povestea-eurovision-2000-primul-show-al-decadei-anilor-2000-fost-castigat-de-frumoasa-melodie-de-dragoste-danemarcei/ |publisher=Radar de Media |access-date=30 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240330105221/https://www.radardemedia.ro/eurovision-de-la-prima-editie-pana-prezent-povestea-eurovision-2000-primul-show-al-decadei-anilor-2000-fost-castigat-de-frumoasa-melodie-de-dragoste-danemarcei/ |archive-date=30 March 2024 |language=ro |date=2 April 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Israeli entry, "{{lang|he-latn|[[Sameach]]|i=unset}}" by the group [[PingPong (band)|PingPong]], caused some controversy in the lead-up to the contest. The music video for the song, released the month before the contest, featured same-sex kissing amongst the band members, singing into [[cucumber]]s, and other suggestive scenes with [[Phallus|phallic]] imagery, which caused consternation with Israeli religious leaders and right-wing groups. The performance of the song, about an Israeli woman having a love affair with a man from [[Damascus]], also saw the group waving both Israeli and [[Syria]]n flags in a call for [[Israel–Syria relations|peace between the two nations]]. However the participating Israeli broadcaster [[Israel Broadcasting Authority|IBA]] raised objections during rehearsals, and subsequently disavowed its entry from the contest after the group refused to remove the Syrian flags from their performance; although the broadcaster did not prevent the group from performing in the contest, it was reported that the broadcaster had pulled funding for the group entirely.<ref name="Decade2000" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=159–162}}<ref>{{cite news |last1=Goldenberg |first1=Suzanne |author-link=Suzanne Goldenberg |title=Outraged Israel disowns daring Eurovision entry |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/may/12/israel |access-date=2 April 2024 |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=12 May 2000 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824152258/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/may/12/israel |archive-date=24 August 2013 |location=[[Jerusalem]], Israel |url-status=live}}</ref>

In the Netherlands, due to the [[Enschede fireworks disaster]] the broadcast of the contest was suspended partway through and thus a televote could not be held, while in Latvia televoting lines were overloaded resulting in viewers unable to vote and leaving organisers unable to accurately determine a valid result.<ref name="B&B">{{cite news |url=https://telegraf.bb.lv/arhiv/item/72056-Nevernyy-prognoz-LTV-vvel-v-zabluzhdenie-tysyachi-zriteley |title=Неверный прогноз LTV ввёл в заблуждение тысячи зрителей |trans-title=Incorrect LTV forecast misled thousands of viewers |date=19 May 2000 |work=[[Biznes & Baltiya]] |issue=97 (1479) |language=ru |access-date=4 December 2022 |url-access=registration |archive-date=24 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240524184332/https://telegraf.bb.lv/arhiv/item/72056-Nevernyy-prognoz-LTV-vvel-v-zabluzhdenie-tysyachi-zriteley |url-status=live }}</ref>

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay live and in full the contest via television. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants"; any passive countries wishing to participate in the following year's event were also required to provide a live broadcast of the contest or a deferred broadcast within 24 hours.<ref name="2000 rules" /> Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their viewers. These commentators were typically sent to the venue to report on the event, and were able to provide commentary from small booths constructed at the back of the venue.<ref>{{cite web |title=Commentator's guide to the commentators |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/commentator-s-guide-to-the-commentators |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181112181824/https://eurovision.tv/story/commentator-s-guide-to-the-commentators |archive-date=12 November 2018 |date=15 May 2011 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=Commentators: The national hosts of Eurovision |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/commentators-sweden-mans-zelmerlow-edward-af-sillen |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516182452/https://eurovision.tv/story/commentators-sweden-mans-zelmerlow-edward-af-sillen |archive-date=16 May 2017 |date=14 May 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
