Really?! SCowell is such a joke in every way....

Even though I am definitely excited to see what the future holds for Andrea, it will be sad to see the end of this xfactor 'era', and must be sad for the acts after spending so much time together.

I normally listen every day in the car too, but my husband is so big that he doesn't fit in my car, so weekends I drive his car instead

One of the benefits of running the website is the fact that I get to review all of the videos - and the photos....

I have a free corporate ticket for Thursday luckily - and then I also have a ticket for the O2....

I'm sure they'll keep in touch, you can tell some acts are particularly close. I hope they do, because if Andrea is moving to the UK permanently he'll need some familiar faces around!

Everyone was standing up and dancing right from the beginning at Nottingham? Perhaps the security are more lenient there....

The amount of energy that Stevi puts into his performances is incredible...

While his reviews are never bad he always gets a small sentence were as others get a whole paragraph.

I'm sure he is aware, he seems very savvy. He must be itching to let everyone hear what he can do, it makes me excited to see that he's so excited He must be happy with the material he's working on which is a good sign. I hope RCA have a massive promo set up for him.
It's probably a good thing his reviews are small and he's not being pushed to the front, he might not have that 'former X Factor' contestant tag for long. As much as I'm grateful for the X Factor for bringing Andrea into our lives after the treatment he got from SC it will be nice for him to start the new chapter in his career

You have 2 more show, now you're just trying to make me jealous. I'll just have to keep everything crossed for when Andrea finally does his own tour

It's probably not the best idea having an Andrea CD in the car. I get lost in his voice, could cause an accident

I have a bit of sadness that the whole X Factor era will be over, just because Andrea started off with that incredible audition, less than a year ago, and went all the way to the finals and now on tour - what a journey. And he does seem to have made genuine connections with the other contestants (OTY especailly).

But generally, for his career, I am sure that he cannot wait to stop having to keep on playing the fool, being the butt of jokes, having to pull faces like pugs or joke about the time he was dressed up in gold.... He is very good about it all and he approaches everything with a great sense of humour, but no on in their right minds would like to be reminded of all of that all the time.... The new album will represent a new beginning for him - a chance to re-invent himself.

On another note - I see that the full length version of his first audition has been completely removed from You Tube - all versions including the Arribaftv version? Strange....

Promo definitely plays a very big part in how well singles/albums do so I hope they don't slack in that department. From the information we've gathered so far I think it's fair to assume that RCA have big plans for him, so hopefully everything will be handled well!

Haha - sorry And I know what you mean about making you crash - that high note in O Holy Night and that long note at the end of Summertime - it's almost impossible not to close your eyes....

I thought most people knew this. He has his Cuban shoes handmade. There's been rumours he has a hidden lift inside the shoes as well. He always wears his trousers over-long to hide the heels.

I was looking for that the other day! Very strange that it's been removed.. I loved watching the intro bit., the first glimpse we get of him. It's especially lovely looking back at it now knowing what we know about his signing etc. He's come such a long way, I'm so proud

I'm sure it does get a bit tiresome for him sometimes, but he always seems like a good sport with it all. Nothing else you can do about that gold outfit but laugh it off haha

New album really will be a new chapter for him. Brand new songs, promo picture, music videos..... oh the possibilities

That's strange Has anyone else's been taken down? I'm glad I saved all his performances when I did. May get saving some of Arribaftv video's too just incase, all the VTs are in those versions

It is still on Daily Motion, for the time being anyway...

And yet he's such a body shaming bully. The truth is that he punishes others because of his own neuroses.
Simon, people won't love you any more if you pretend to be taller and younger than you are. The thing that kills love is mean spirited behaviour.

The fact there was a bidding war to sign him makes me a a bit more relaxed that they must be really invested in making him a huge star. So I'm hoping for a big promo with loads of lovely new pictures in the very near future

This, I really cannot wait

You're such a lucky ducky, Jessika. How do you get free corporate tickets?

neither!

Especially those
His version of O Holy Night.... I almost zone out listening to it

I used to be an important business woman - a lifetime ago

Thanks delz - I will record that and put it on the website before it disappears too....

PS. Just watched it - Aw, I LOVE that video. I must have watched it 200 times when he was on the X Factor. And I still get that big feel good feeling watching it now I haven't seen that clip with him doing the Spice Girls dance at the end before..... And then there is Simon's mean comment which I haven't seen before either ....... Grrrrrr

I think the dance and the comment were missed off the you tube versions but yes it is such a feel good video, it gets you every time even though you know what's coming . (And evidently Mel loved him from the very start)

I have never seen those moments at the end is it on daily motion?

I only started watching X Factor from the 6 chair challenge (and, in fact, I had it on in the background and if I hadn't heard Andrea I wouldn't have watched it at all probably)... so I've only ever seen the first two auditions on You Tube... Lovely to see the extra clip... Sammi42, yes it's on Daily Motion but if you can't find it let me know and I'll upload it onto the website like I did the full version of the Alan Carr interview
