AleziRadio Festival of Songs 2005 is the fourty-eighth edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. The competition was held as usual in 16th of May 2004 by the authorities of Radio Zafizamarrah (RZ). This is the sixteenth time that Zafizamarrah hosted the competition, the third time that the competition was hosted by Zafizamarrah outside of the Metropolitan City, and the second time that Oldport-Newport hosted the competition after last time doing so in 1969.
The competition was granted to Zafizamarrah after Andi Tenriatta Namian won the competition for her region with the song "ᨕᨒᨙᨊ ᨌᨋᨁ ᨑᨗᨕᨚᨒᨚᨀᨘ", which was the second song sung in Buginese to do so. The initial decision was to host the 2005 festival in Metropolitan Zafizamarrah with potential venues for the competition including The National Stadium, Oxygen Arena, The Zafizamarranian Clam, and Grand Alezian Theatre (joining 3 theatres into one). However, the news was received poorly by the Alezian public demanding Radio Zafizamarrah to "introduce their region outside of the capital since they've been there way too many times previously".
Reacting to the backlash, Radio Zafizamarrah instead decided to give the public the right to list three cities in Zafizamarrah that the public ideally wanted to see host the competition. The result of the polling was Radio Zafizamarrah contacting the three cities of Iskandaruddin, Nashriza, and Oldport-Newport to ask about their interest on hosting the festival. However, only Oldport-Newport expressed interest and as such, the rights to the festival went unanimously to Oldport-Newport.
Oldport-Newport is the third biggest city in Zafizamarrah behind the Metropolitan City and Iskandaruddin and is the prime spot for entry into North Alezia by ship due to the city holding the nation's biggest and oldest seaport, being developed by the Buginese and then by the British. The port has given the country a very considerable contribution to it's GDP, with the city also being the prime spot for trade and Alezian exports of electronics such as computers. Other than as a prime trading spot, the city is also known for being one of the most visited cities for beach tourism, being one of Zafizamarrah's coastal cities.
The graphic design for the competition mostly stayed similiar to the previous years, with the changes being instead of Mosin-Naganese flowers, the graphic used is a five-pointed star, representing the Alezian star in the Alezian flag which while usually meant to be free to interpretation, most of the Alezians perceive the star as a symbol of hope and perfection.
