The Andrea Faustini Appreciation Thread
I couldn't find a thread for this guy, so thought I'd make one. At the moment Andrea Faustini and Paul Akister are my two faves by a long way. Andrea is so cute, quirky and likeable, I just love him!
I'm a bit worried that the judges won't get behind him because they think him being from Italy means he won't have a fanbase that will vote (er, hello? Ruth Lorenzo anyone?) Does anyone have any spoiler info on how far he gets? |

Just the styling
I think Andrea could win, as its hard not to like him!
However, he’s not a bad looking guy, could they not give him better styling? Having the shirt always buttoned way up makes him look a bit nerdy (how about a tie or an open collar?), and the carrot pants don’t flatter his shape. It’s good for balancing out his shape that he had a jacket on last time, but not sure if I personally liked the stars. Also I wish he’s not just given everything that Sam Bailey sung last year, not just diva power ballads. He could sing anything, so please let us hear him sing different stuff! But all and all, not much to fault! He really sings his heart out every time.

I've joined the forums just to contribute to Andrea's Appreciation thread! I think he's a really lovely guy, with an amazing voice! Just to let everyone know, he's singing 'Relight my Fire' tomorrow! I really hope it goes well for him!

Anyone got any Songs they'd love to hear Andrea sing? I think I'd like to see him do...
High Hopes - Kodaline Take me to Church - Hozier Not The Only One - Sam Smith Ordinary People - John Legend I Need a Dollar - Aloe Black Who Am I - Will Young That's all I can think of right now...But he could sing anything and it would be amazing.

It's okay guys! I had confidence he'd get through! So next week is disco week, what do we all think Andrea will be doing?

I've just read that it's been changed to Queen Vs Michael Jackson. Since Andrea has already done an MJ song I guess we can assume it will be queen...so I'm gonna throw this out there... Bohemian Rhapsody

I really really want "Who Wants To Live Forever'! Perfect for his growl! Stacey did a great version of this a few years back!
Here's something cute I found on the X Factor site. Andrea does the results in Italian! Thought I'd post a link in case anybody missed it. http://www.itv.com/xfactor/backstage...how-in-italian |

I've often thought there's a touch of Freddie Mercury about him (vocally at least) so I think Queen will be perfect for him. I would love to see him do 'A Kind of Magic' so he can get away from the power ballads again.

He's also tweeted that this weeks song choice is 'STRONG' Is that a cryptic clue I wonder.... |

Just wanted to post again to say that Andrea was amazing tonight! I really don't think he has anything to worry about after that, but of course he still needs votes! His VT was very lovely too!
So come on Andrea fans! What did you all think!?

I'm sure Sam Smith's support will have helped his vote too! So, what are we hoping for in Big Band week guys? Anyone got any song suggestions? In another thread someone suggested 'New York State of Mind' I really like that idea.

I wonder if us Andrea fans should give ourselves a collective fan name? Pugs maybe? Please, stop me if I'm taking this too far.

Not too far at all
I don't know Fanstinis maybe lol ![]() Oh yes, much better. Well Fanstinis I'll be sure to post any news here, and I'm sure others will too! Today Andrea has attended the premier of the new Hunger Games Movie! (Never seen any of them ) (presumably with all the other contestants) So expect that to be mentioned on next weeks VT. Would be nice to see some pics, couldn't find any at the moment.
