Personally I find him very overrated, he is hideously boring and dull, I agree he has talent and can sing but he has no sparkle or ooomph in him, he just isn't interesting and so don't look forward to his performances.
Anyone else agree?

Sorry OP I don't think he's overrated as the traits you mention such as sparkle and ooomph are not the things he's been praised for. He's been complimented on his talent and voice which is, as you say, good.
If he had been praised for being a great dancer, I would agree:)
Andrea is now the most vocally capable left in the contest, and one of the best this show has ever had. He's not an artist yet, but that will come with time and from working with the right people - something that I don't feel that Simon Cowell and co are remotely interested in giving him.
And I know it doesn't count for much, but his sweet, shy personality and humbleness has endeared him to many, even if they're not posting on here.
Totally agree....if an act is coming on stage and belting out songs so effortlessly and faultless as Andrea....how can that be classed as 'overrated'???? Baffling! !!
What's overrated, in my opinion, would be an act coming on stage, delivering the same old performance, over and over again and getting praised to the hilt, by folks who should know better. ....yes, the judges of course! !!
Plus He is absolutely adorable and I want to marry him and buy him pugs if I'm honest even if he doesn't have "it". But his voice is just stratospheric.
I agree. He can sing, no doubt, but there is nothing appealing, interesting, exciting or special about him imo. I find him instantly forgettable and find myself zoning out.
Others may not have his vocals but there is something more about them that draws me in whereas he doesn't grab me. But then the diva types have never been my taste. I prefer someone who performs with heart and soul and character and hits a few bum notes rather than someone note perfect but vanilla. Given the choice of, say, Celine Dion or Mary J Blige - well it's MJB for me every time
Totally agree,every song he does,he makes his own and nails it,he has been compared to a UK/Itailen Michael Jackson and the jackson 5 have said its like hearing there brother when hearing their Andrea so to be called boring,overrated is very unneccary and very insulting to him and his fans,hope he will win to prove all the haters wrong,world class act
oh the irony
He gets the praise he gets because he's the best singer in the competition, and generally delivers a great performance. Fair enough he's not your favourite, but that doesn't make him overrated.
people describing him as "world class" make him over-rated
whether he is or not the best singer on this years show is a matter of opinion , but in no way is he world class
There is justifiable reason to say he's the best singer though. Whether you like him or not, objectively you can't deny he's a strong singer. Best singer may be opinion though.
The world class comments are from a few people as opposed to a majority. I wouldn't say he's overrated based on a few over the top comments. That'd make pretty much every contestant ever overrated.
Absolutely this.
Agree with this as well. He has a good voice but it's not outstanding or unique imo
I haven't denied he is a strong singer
even in this thread alone we have seen him described as the best male singer ever more than once , we have had descriptions like "stratospheric" and "world class", and the thread isn't even at the end of the first page
by my definition that is what over-rated means
Slating one contestant off isn't going to make your "favourite" stand a better chance of winning or change peoples opinion about who they like and don't.
Overrated is a subjective word! Regarding Andrea, he is the bookies favourite & the strongest favourite they have ever had in the history of X factor suggesting there's a lot of people out there who think he is very good & streets ahead of the others.
Does that mean he's going to win? No it dos not! What it means, like him or not, the masses think he's the best contestant.
We all have opinions but ultimately the opinion that counts is the mass opinion, each and everyone's individual opinion counts for very little!
I actually feel most people post negatively regarding other contestants simply because the contestant in question is to them a clear threat to their favoured contestant.
In my eyes most of the posts say a lot more about the poster than they do about the individual they are posting about ;-)
so do you think describing andrea as world class is an accurate description of his ability or over-rating him ?
I wasn't posting negatively about andrea at all tbh , i am posting negatively about people going overboard about someone who at this point in time can only reasonably be described as arguably the best singer on a glorified karaoke show
