In 2010, Sieneke performed in the Dutch
Nationaal Songfestival 2010 for the
Eurovision Song Contest 2010, with all participants performing their own version of the song "
Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie)". The Dutch audience was surprised that there was no public vote for this year's Songfestival; instead, the winner was selected by 3 jury members. Sieneke won with 2 points, with
Pierre Kartner reluctantly giving the deciding vote. Sieneke represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in
Oslo, Norway, on 27 May, but did not qualify for the final. ==References==
