In a mini-preselection, the dutch entrant for the 2000 United Song Contest was chosen. It was a battle between dance-act Alice Deejay, Frysian folk-duo Twarres and musical star Pia Douwes.
During the voting Twarres' frysian language song "Wer bisto" was in the lead but after the last jurors votes were cast it was Pia who won the preselection. Pia Douwes will be singing 'Mijn leven is van mij' (I belong to me). Alice Deejay with her song "Will I ever" ended up last.
Pia became famous for her role in the dutch version of the musical "Elisabeth". After the dutch version she made the german version of the musical to even bigger succes. Therefore she already made a german recording of her entry called "Ich gehör nur mir" as well and expressed she had high hopes to walk in the footsteps of Ruth Jacott who won the 1995 USC.
