The Dutch Final was held on 12 March at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam . Each performer sang three songs and the winner was chosen in two rounds of voting. In the first round an expert jury selected the best song by each performer before the eventual winner was chosen by televoting.

Eventually, the jury chose "Heaven Knows," performed by the foursome Behave, "I'm Alive," performed by 2004 Dutch "Pop Idol" runner-up Maud and "Amambanda," performed by the female trio Treble. The girl group Treble received 72% of the televote which provides them with the ticket to Athens along with the song ''Amambanda'', which contains imaginary lyrics. The song is written and composed by Caroline Hoffman, Niña van Dijk, & Djem van Dijk.

The group Treble comprises Caroline Hoffman (29) and sisters Niña (19) and Djem (17) van Dijk. In 2004, they had number one hit single with Ramaganana.

Treble also performed two other songs in the Dutch National Final called "Lama Gaia" and "Make your choice."
