It's time for the great British public to get behind Andy. We'll be crossing our fingers for Mr Abraham tonight.
But as always the choice for this year's UK representative has caused much debate, wailing and gnashing of teeth in the months since the X Factor runner-up landed the role in BBC One's Eurovision:Your Decision vote way back in March.
And, ever the realist, Andy has been fully aware of the arguments raging over his appointment and song since then.
"You get strong opinions from people whatever you do," he told before he stepped on the plane to Belgrade last week.
"But because I'm in such a high profile competition the stakes are higher. It's been going on for so long, it's like an institution. People are protective of it."
And his only response has been to keep on doing what he does best, staying positive and honing his performance, as after all that's what it'll come down to on the night.
"I take people's opinions on board," he said. "I can't please everyone, but if people at least have an appreciation of what I do that's all I can ask for. But obviously, if they love the song, that'll be great."
Whatever happens, we know that Andy will do his damndest to put on a good show and make the UK proud. And we'll be with him every step of the way...
