I much preferred Charlie Green, not as technically good, but lots more warmth and appeal as well as really enjoying performing.
(Watching More Talent - Andrew is doing Tears in Heaven tomorrow - no doubt Amanda will be in floods of tears and Simon will be working out how quickly he can get him in the studio before the voice breaks??)
Having seen a few posts - I am not alone!!!”
Charlie IS as technically good, but for a ten year old I think he needs to sing something higher.
I've heard better choristers, easily, but he's in my top 5 of the talented acts on there easily and on that basis should make the last 10. He's good.
Andrew is just a quiet kid so he's not going to be a cocky git, he's just going to let his singing do the talking. I don't think he can do loud, and Alex showed how annoying it is when a kid does that anyway.
Don't forget Charlie Green has had training since he was 2/3 as well, so a similar length of time, and Andrew didn't realise he could sing until a teacher told his mum to audition for the cathedral when he was about six. So he probably wouldn't have started until he was 7 or 8 and certainly wouldn't have been in the cathedral properly for about a year after that.
