Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001
The Dutch participating broadcaster, Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), selected its entry for the contest through Nationaal Songfestival 2001.Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, the Netherlands placed eighteenth out of the 23 participating countries, scoring 16 points.Since 1998, NOS has organised Nationaal Songfestival in order to select both the artist and song for the contest, a method that was continued for its 2001 entry.[10] In addition to the public submission, NOS directly invited certain composers and production agencies, such as record companies and production teams, to submit entries, while an amateur songwriting workshop was organised by Conamus under the instruction of professional songwriters Alan Michael, Edwin Schimscheimer and Jan Rot which resulted in the submission of four songs.[24] On 21 November 2000, a special allocation draw was held which determined the running order and the Netherlands was set to open the show and perform in position 1, before the entry from Iceland.[26] The 2001 contest marked the only occasion on which two performers participated under identical names; the singer from Germany was also called Michelle.
