A graduate of the National Academy for Theatrical and Film Arts (NATFIZ), he trained in pantomime. But Krassimir, being blessed with a very rare and unique male voice, the tenor-altino, could not stay silent for long. His 1997 debut album, Silent Voices topped the pop charts in Bulgaria. One year later Krassimir’s journey would continue in the entertainment capital of the world, Los Angeles, California.
At the 2005 L.A. Music Awards, Krassimir received an honor previously bestowed upon such music notables as Gwen Stefani, Korn and Black-Eyed Peas: he won Superstar of the Year for his 2005 album Popera. Krassimir celebrated with a standing-room solo concert at Hollywood’s home of the Oscars, the prestigious Kodak Theatre. The audience gathered at the venue witnessed his bending and blending of musical genres – a synergy of classical and pop music called popera.
Avramov will now follow the footsteps of Balthazar and Deep Zone who did not qualify for the Final of Europe's favorite TV-show last year.

Show me, show me you’re mine
Give me, give me your time
Show me, show me you’re mine
So I want your touch
All I want is your touch
I need you much
Baby, I need you so much
Show me all I’ve never seen
Wrong, it feels so wrong
To be a part from afar
Your lips can solve it for me
You don’t know how
You don’t know where to go, to go
Give me, give me your time
Show me, show me you’re mine
So I want your touch
‘Cause I want your touch
I need you much
Baby, I need you so much
Give me, give me your time
Show me, show me you’re mine
So I want your touch
All I want is your touch
I need you much
Baby, I need you so much, so much
Aha… aha… aha…
(Give me, give me your time)
Show me, show me you’re mine
So I want your touch
‘Cause I want your touch

So I want your touch
All I want is your touch
I need you much
I need you so much
Give me, give me your time
Show me, show me you’re mine
So I want your touch
I need you much

@ivan1991112
Wow! This is so good! His vocals is great, as well as the song. If they performed it like this or at least close to this on ESC stage, Bulgaria would go to final and could count on high place here. But live performance was a disaster :-( Such a shame :-( :-(
@Tuer400
I like this song!! i like hes "screaming" its wonderful :)
@purplegothicqueen
I have just gotten this CD/video and love it so much. I would've given it the full 12 points. I think the song and the act and the man himself absolutely magnificent! Wonderful voice, so exciting!
@Bace7o
