Six acts participated in the British national final Eurovision - Your Decision, but only one could represent the country in the final of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest which will take place in Belgrade on the 24th of May. Five of the contestants had to go home again - but it was Andy Abraham who managed to get the majority of the UK televotes and will be the country's joy in the Beogradska Arena performing Even If.
Andy is a man of mass musical talent, personal integrity... a family man. Andy is a songwriter. A man who has braved and exceeded all expectations and media obstacles over the last four years. Andy is a man who has dealt with the media spotlight with such personality that he has been dubbed the "man and voice of the people" Andy has sold half a million records in less than two years. Andy Abraham is a man of the people. There are no airs and graces. A man who has nurtured his vocal and writing talent for many years and now, on his own terms is set to move on to the world stage. Andy is the UK's chosen representative at the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, Serbia.
Andy co-wrote Even If with his favourite co-writers Andy Watkins and Paul Wilson from Absolute. A team who, like Andy have sold more records than we care to mention. Andy is currently working on his 3rd solo album, also entitled Even If, due for release on 26th May. The single Even If will be physically available on 12th May with digital release two weeks prior.
"I'm freaked out! What can I say - the public and my loyal fans have voted me in and I'm over the moon. They believe like I did that ‘Even If' is a song for the masses. The UK audience have once again been behind me. I'm seriously hoping and I will try my best to make them proud out in Serbia because it is about the song. I really hope people in Europe give the song a chance..." Andy Abraham said, 30 minutes after been chosen by the UK audience.
Andy will be the perfect ambassador for the UK. In a year where his beloved football team (England) have been unable to make the cut for the Euro 2008, Andy sees his performance in Serbia as an opportunity to restore pride to the UK.
From obscurity to chart artist Andy Abraham's meteoric rise to chart star has been what dreams are made of. Andy is exactly as you would expect. He is a father first, the family man who just happens to have the voice to stop you in your tracks.
Andy has sold over half a million albums in less than two years and embarked on a sold out nationwide tour that culminated in a sold out concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. Andy's hugely loyal fan base will now back him all the way to the Eurovision final in Serbia with the soulful funk and self-penned track Even If. As Andy explains: "It is a soulful love song guaranteed to be appreciated by both British and European music fans alike." Andy is one of the only X Factor contestants that still connect both musically and personally with his mentors on the X Factor Show. Both Sharon Osborne and Simon Cowell, collectively commented that Andy is "the most genuinely nice guy...he looks set to do us all proud in Serbia."
Andy continues to work excitedly on his third album which will comprise original material co-written by Andy and various hugely successful writers & production teams from home and abroad. Andy moves on to the world stage and the next phase of his musical career, where he gets to showcase to the public his own style of music whilst keeping the core of his fans happy. As he says: "I believe it's important to write and be involved in the next stage of my career because I've so much to prove to myself. I take nothing for granted. This is a great journey for me and my family. My family is everything to me. My wife Denise is my manager, and we are embarking on the next stage of my musical journey together." Now is the time for Andy to convey his great vocal ability but also his unique song writing talents. The ride has only just begun....
Andy with a team of trusted and experienced industry executives has put together his own label B-Line Records. The music industry has changed considerably over the last couple of years, with artists taking a greater level of control in their careers. As Andy says: "The opportunities are endless. I have handpicked my own team who share my vision for my career. Whether it is Radiohead, George Michael I am at the coalface of my career."

Know I’m runnin’ all over town
I feel so intoxicated
I’m strugglin’ to keep my feet on the ground
I’m not playin’, girl
This ain’t no game at all
And for the first time
So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me
Even if the world stops lovin’
I could never stop lovin’ you
Even if the sun stops risin’
I still wanna wake up with you
Yeah…
Even if my heart was breakin’
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Yes, I do
Your sensuality thrills me
It strips me to my soul
And so reality cures me
Your lovin’ takes a hold
I’m barely in control
I’m not pretendin’, girl
That ain’t what’s goin’ on
There’s no room for lies
Ain’t no room at all
So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me
(Even if the world stops lovin’)
I could never stop lovin’ you
Even if the sun stops risin’

(I still wanna wake up with you) I will always wake up, baby
Even if my heart was breakin’
(I could never break your heart too) Aha, aha, aha baby, baby
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you

You’re keeping me fascinated
You have captivated me with your charm and I am consumed by thoughts of you
Know I’m runnin’ all over town
I am constantly on the move, thinking of you everywhere I go
I feel so intoxicated
Your presence and affection have made me feel euphoric and drunk with emotion
I’m strugglin’ to keep my feet on the ground
Your love has taken me to new heights and I find it hard to stay grounded in reality
This ain’t no game at all
I am serious about my feelings for you and I am not playing around
And for the first time
This is the first time that I am not searching for love and I have found it
I’m not looking for love
I am not searching for affection as I have found it with you
So come here, baby, listen to me
Please hear me out and believe what I am about to say
I just want ya to believe me
All I want is for you to trust me and have faith in my love for you

Even if everything in life changes, I still want to wake up next to you
I still wanna wake up with you
I will always desire to start and end my day with you by my side
Your sensuality thrills me
Your seductive nature excites me to my core and penetrates my innermost being
It strips me to my soul
You expose my deepest desires and emotions and reveal my true self
And so reality cures me
While my love for you takes me to new heights, reality also keeps me grounded in the present
Your lovin’ takes a hold
Your affection for me is all-encompassing and controls me completely
I’m barely in control
I struggle to manage my feelings for you as they consume me whole
That ain’t what’s goin’ on
I am not pretending about how I feel and I am being honest with you
There’s no room for lies
Honesty is key in this relationship and I have no intention of hiding the truth from you
So come here, baby, listen to me
Please hear me out so that we can have an honest and trusting relationship
Even if my heart was breakin’
Even if I am in pain, I will never cause you heartache or distress
I could never break your heart too
I will always protect your heart and never do anything to hurt you
Even if all words lost their meaning
Even if I cannot express my love in words, my actions will always show you how I feel
You would understand I love you
You will always know that I love you, no matter the circumstance or ability to communicate it in words

Rare occasion when the UK had the right to be angry about their finish. Underrated tune!
