Join the roomThe Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie)", written by Pierre Kartner, and performed by Sieneke. The Dutch participating broadcaster, Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS), internally selected its entry for the contest. "Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie)" was presented to the public on 18 December 2009, while the national final Nationaal Songfestival 2010 was organised in order to select the performer. Five artists competed in the national final on 7 February 2010 where Sieneke was selected by Pierre Kartner as the winner following a tie between two of the artists based on the combination of votes from a four-member jury panel and an audience vote.
