Five new talents - four individuals and one group - scouted by well known Dutch artists, will compete for the Dutch ticket to Oslo during the Nationaal Songfestival on the 7th of February. The lucky five will all sing their own versions of Shalalie, Ik Ben Verliefd, a song composed by Pierre Kartner.
