I sound way too positive saying this but then that's just me ....... He is very shrewd Simon and knows X factors winners end up in oblivion and that is why he discredited Andrea who was running away with his show but the runners up always do best - as I say Ialways see the best - be my downfall one day😨

That sounds very plausible. I did think promotion would begin around early June

Yes - if he comes back this weekend, then he will be here for around 1st June, which is a nice date to get everything started!! Hopefully we'll get the airport selfie and away we go from there!

Your Muppet has his eyes on the Eurovision Song Contest. The thought of making money is irresistibly alluring to him.

Yes I saw that.

If he got his hands on that, it would turn into a "look at me", I'm "Simon Cowell" farce with of course endless plugging of his label and artists.

Not to mention the manipulation so the eventual winner will be Simon's "chosen".

Oh diabolo! You may be mistaken. I know several women who think the Muppet is total eye candy. The bees knees. Mr Gorgeous! Can you imagine it? Can't see it myself but what do I know? Too old to tango, even with the `Muppet.

Really!!? Is nothing safe from him!?

Napiri kindly went and looked at the latest copy of Vanity Fair Italy on the news stand for us... No Andrea in sight? And no sign of the a capella performance for Alberto Salerno either? Strange.....

Was it said anywhere that is was to be in that issue or did all just think it would be? It could come in the next issue which would probably go better with promo timing.

Clever thinking, Sammi. You're not just a wild Celtic female warrior. You're the thinking man's crumpet. Tee hee.

It's true, Jessika. I've seen it mentioned before, then again, today. No. Nothing's safe. His influence will spread around the world like the bubonic plague but Andrea stays placid and untouched by it all, just waiting for his time to come. Can't help loving that boy even if he is a rascal, which I suspect to be the case.

Napiri always looks out for us.

I agree I think they're going to time it for when promo starts (hopefully next week!)

No, it was definitely this issue. I think it was even due on the website the Thursday before. The a capella thing was supposed to be coming out the Friday just gone, directly afterwards.... Strange.. Let's hope it has just been put back a week....

Also, I see his official fb page isn't linked to his Instagram after all, because that random cherries post didn't go in the fb page? So someone somewhere is copying selective ones. And it's not Andrea... I guess that can only be a good sign...?

Let's hope it has just been decided to be pushed back an issue. Can't see it being scrapped if it's been done, same for the acapella thing.

Must be someone selecting certain ones, or maybe it's Andrea himself just sharing certains posts to the page and since it had nothing to do with him, or even had him in the picture he didn't think there was any point in sharing it.

At least I'm useful for something hahaha

delz - do you remember how long ago the Italian journalist told us about the interview with Alberto Salerno on FB? A good two or three weeks, wasn't it? She is always pretty reliable - she announced his X Factor tour songs... And anyway, the interview with Alberto was for her own on-line magazine... When I spoke to her privately she said it would be out the day after Vanity Fair.... Last Thursday....

It would be nice to think that he has been given the log on to his own fb page at last...

I think it may be Andrea posting on fb because on that last post he added 'exciting news' and some emojis to the caption which weren't on the original instagram post...

Strange about the Vanity fair interview but perhaps they've been asked to not release it until Andrea has started doing interviews over here so no information is leaked?

It was about that yes, maybe its all been put back to coincide with press releases when his official promotion starts. Fingers crossed anyway.

That would be so great

Andreas Fb!!

I KNOW!!!!
IT'S HAPPENING

I WASNT PREPARED AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

So I guess this means 'Give A Little is' his debut single? Ahhhhh!

Better set several alarms for tomorrow morning

Cant believe it!! Its finally happening!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I kind of thought it would all happen quick by we literal had nothing for ages and now oit of the blue we will have something, on the Radio, tomorrow

That's what I'm think too. It's all so exciting

My neighbours have work big done in their house and they usually start at 9 so that's my wake up call lol they have been waking me up every morning so far

I actually feel sick with excitement

My poor flatmate is gonna be woken up by my excited screams

I actually can't believe this is happening now
