Exactly, I never get bored watching the same songs because they're never the same
I think he changes it up to make it more interesting for himself as well. Every time he tries a little something new in a song I think 'hmm.. wonder if he got that little riff idea from one of the songs he's been recording..' haha.

And yes I was thinking that! It's actually the one I enjoy watching the most - probably joint with IDKMOS.

Perfect height for me The benefits of me being short. I can wear heels and he'd still be taller haha

I heard that too. If that was my child I would be telling it, it's time for you to be quite and listen.

I don't understand how anyone could actually actively dislike Andrea, he's so lovable. Even if you take his talent away, he's just such a genuinely kind and humble person. He's remained exactly the same through this whole experience. Very grounded. As for comments on his looks, I think most people love the fact that he isn't the stereotypical hunk. And MrCelebUK just makes me laugh. I'm sure he'll be there throughout Andreas career trying to bring him down.. His voice will get quieter as the praise gets louder

As I was reading this I was just thinking 'wonder if he's trying out and idea he has for his own song'

Me too. Those 2 are the songs I was most looking forward to hearing again but seem to be the one's with the least video's. People must be too in awe of Andrea they forget to record

Not everyone wants a stereotypical hunk, what ever that is anyway, some of us want a real man As has been said here a number of times, it's not like he isn't a good looking boy.

The bigger Andrea's career gets the more attention he will attract, good and bad, but I'm sure his fans will soon be putting them in their place. As for MrCelebUk, I can't take what he says seriously haha

I don't get how anyone could dislike him so much either, perhaps it says more about the posters that they can be so threatened by him. He will get more the more successful he becomes though, hopefully it will be like water off a ducks back for him

I haven't listened to him singing for a few days, and I am always surprised by how good he is, even though I know how good he is I love the way he changes things up every time - a lot of his live performances on the X Factor were different to the iTunes version too....

I agree that he probably changes things up to keep himself interested..... But what a nice thought that he might be practicing riffs from his new songs

I am going again on Thursday - wonder if he'll be different again - I am going to try and listen more, and sod about with my mobile phone less this time haha

For Earth Song, he suddenly pops up on a different stage (at least in some venues) and people aren't expecting him to be in a different place, so that might explain why there's less of those.... Although there are less recordings of IDKMOS too which is surprising....

Earth Song is practically at the end of the show so perhaps everyones batteries have gone I love the way he his changing the songs up too, perhaps he is practising his ideas for his album

I think with Andrea there will always be more love than hate. People want him to do well and he has the talent to back it up. I think this year is going to be absolutely magical for him :')

This is supposed to be the age of sexual liberation and yet we still get prurient speculation about any performer's sexuality. I do not think such things should ever be discussed unless the person concerned has reason to make it public. All I care about is the quality of the person and the performance, and I think Andrea is a wonderful singer and a beautiful person. Go Andrea!

I thought he was 5 foot 8.5 as this is what Dermot claims to be. When they stood next to each other they looked the same height. Ed Sheeran said he's 5 foot 8 and Andrea's looks slightly taller than him. He looks the same height as Gary Barlow and SCowell but it's well known SCowell wears Cuban heels to boost his height.

To be fair if I was going to see Andrea live I probably wouldn't film any of it. Partly because I'd probably be too much of an emotional wreck to hold up and phone but mainly because I'd rather just enjoy the moment. I think IDKMOS especially is one of those songs you just want to stop and listen to, which might be why there isn't as many recordings.

There was one guy in his fifties who sent him some disgusting stuff, really insulting him when the show was still on. Thankfully, he's stopped now.

A few days I never go a day without listening to him at least once. I even put all his performances onto a CD for me to listen to in the car

I'm sure they do get bored singing the same song over and over again, part of the career I suppose. Do any of the other acts change it up like Andrea does?

Lucky you, enjoy Seeing all the video and hearing all the feed back I had a very tempting moment where I wanted to buy tickets to whatever venue was available, but then I remembered I don't have the money for hotels and planes as well

The IDKMOS is the most surprising. I thought it would have the most clips

It is lovely going onto his tag on twitter and seeing all the love I hope when his career really blows up, when I go on the tag it's still the same 99% love 1% hate

The review of the Liverpool date is up already. Andrea is only briefly mentioned as usual but at least they acknowledge his voice. The bias shown in the coverage of the tour is clear to see. Interesting that the reviewer said the atmosphere was flat until Stevi came on, it's not the first time I've read this and some of it is down to not being able to stand up.

I agree
For me it's not anyone else's business what someone does or doesn't do in their private life. What difference does it make anyway? It doesn't take away their talent or who they are as a person.

Doesn't surprise me. It's the same thing with nearly ever review.

I've never understood that at concerts. You pay good money to have fun, not just sit and your seat. I never use to listen to them when they told me to sit down and eventually they just gave up telling us all to sit down haha

Suppose I can't really say anything. I only recorded one of the 4 songs he sung at the Kremlin, and it was the only he sings on the tour. I wish I'd have recorded him singing Feeling Good but I was so excited when he started singing it. I never expected him to sing that one.

Yes they have all been rather biased At least there is a bit more of a mention for Andrea than some of the reviews Ive read, and they do acknowledge his talent.

Totally agree - it should be a total non-issue....

I'm not unhappy with that review. I also detect a hidden suggestion that the whole thing was set up to promote certain performers.
I saw the Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars version of Uptown Funk and loved it. It was so cool.

Have to say the reviews make me look more and more forward to the tour being over so Andrea can start his own thing. He's said that he 'can't wait to show everyone what I can do' with the album, so I'm pretty sure he's aware of the fact the show stifles him a little. He's doing amazingly on tour and always gives faultless, passionate performances, but he's definitely ready to have his own material and 'conquer the world' as he said
