Would you pick up a CD if it had Brackensick all over it?

I think it's kind of unique, but I guess he could just go by "Deandre" - that's a pretty cool name for an artist.

In any case, I don't think he has much hope in hell of winning this anyway, so if he's going to be a star, I don't think it'll be off the back of Idol..

I think he'll just go with Deandre. A lot of artists just use their first name....

He didn't make the top ten, he's there as a wild card, so he'll have to work hard to win over the voters

The problem isn't the surname, it's that he's brilliant with some songs but awful with others. Last week I hated his show track (forget what he sung sorry) yet his save me song was fabulous. He needs more continuity and maybe in a few years he'll be outstanding whether he uses his surname or not!
