Former X-Factor star Andy Abraham won Saturday night's public vote to choose the UK's entry for Eurovision 2008. Which is okay, and I've nothing against Andy Abraham, but I was really hoping Michelle Gayle would win, so I was a bit disappointed. The good thing was that the really bad songs got voted off by judges John Barrowman, Carrie Grant and Terry Wogan, meaning only reasonable songs for the public to vote on (that said, I think at least one really rubbish one made it through).
Abraham, who was runner up in the second X-Factor series, and has since released two albums, said that winning the contest would be a "dream come true". The father of two former dustbin man described his self-written winning track as "funky love-song about a guy who's found genuine love with a girl".
Well, it's not bad. But I still liked Michelle Gayle's track better.
