I hope that this is a red herring - but this article claims that the album is named after Kelly Clarkson..... Reading through it, it looks like it might be a joke? I hope so

I think it is. There has been nothing to indicate that it is named after Kelly Clarkson and in all the articles that have come out so far about the release not once has it came up. Suppose we'll never truly know until Andrea finally reveals all

Isn't that just someone saying it on a forum? A forum not too full of Andrea fans by the looks of it either ha! Think it's definitely a joke.

Also we know there is a song called Kelly on the album so it's probably just a case of naming it after the (possibly Diane Warren) song.

Well it does no harm I guess
He's said before that his favourite song changes everyday so I'd take a wild guess that him saying GALL has something to do with it being the single released in under a month Can't wait to see the music video!

Looking at the back cover to the album (LOVE IT ) it looks like Andrea signed a joint deal with RCA and Syco, both logos feature.

As long as it's mostly RCA and Simon stays away from him.

Earlier today, Andrea retweeted a message from a fan, Rheanny Mac, saying that Kelly is Beyonce's alter ego ,Kelly Fierce.

I think although I haven't checked it out.....but I'm pretty sure she called herself Sasha Fierce?

God I would much rather it was named after Kelly Jones from Stereophonics for artistic influence!

Although I suppose he has taken the KC route to fame so she could well have been an inspiration ?

I thought that. It may be a joke.

Probably just some person who doesn't know what they are talking about but are happy to share their wisdom with the internet!

Beyonce has an alter ego 'Sasha Fierce' - she was making the joke that 'Kelly' is Andrea's alter ego. It wasn't meant seriously at all, just a joke!

That's a blow to my heart but the X Factor twitter page is sending out tweets about the album. Our poor boy! I wouldn't want to suffer that, having SCowell as my boss.

Aren't we lucky to be ordinary. I'm even more lucky to be retired with no boss except 'im indoors.

Ooo and is it just me but looking at the Facebook video of Andrea making tea at RCA has he become a lot more camper than he was on XFactor ?

It's strange how none of the articles reported a joint deal... Maybe Simon decided he wanted to cash in after hearing how good it was or something... or perhaps it's just part of the X Factor contract that Syco gets in on whatever you produce after the show. I don't thin Simon has been actively involved at all though - thank god.

Company law is very complex now and often they are all joined together in convoluted deals. I know that Sony bought half of Syco at the end of December, so Syco is jointly owned by the two companies. When I saw that, I thought that SCowell wants to move more into the show business world than the recording world, which has taken a huge battering in the last few years. He is trying to get into Europe.

If he is camp, that's how God or nature made him and I love him to bits. If he was my boy, I'd make him cakes and quilts.

I've said before Simon is a shrewd guy and he well knows how amazing Andrea is....but he had to reign in his popularity because basically Simon was left without a contest....of course he loves Andrea....how could he not?

I think that's why we all love him too Hilda - he's a one off and I like that - so refreshing to find someone unique and life affirming with such talent

Beyonce's alter ego is called Sasha Fierce. She was saying it that what Kelly is, Andrea's alter ego.

ETA: I see dbarnz beat me to it

I hope it stays that way with Simon... Wouldn't put it past him to want to cash in.

Life affirming, indeed. I love that. You have him to a T. Everything about him exudes love.

I never noticed. He's always had his moments but we wouldn't want him any other way

Ahhh that makes a lot more sense now
