Andrew's singing is more mature. Faryl is just a girl with a nice voice. Her semi final / audition performances bored me, mainly the audition, because she didn't do anything to acknowledge basic things such as lyrics, line sense, phrasing, natural flow of the accents in bars, etc - almost as though she didn't understand what she was singing, she was just singing it. To consider her seriously she would need to work on these which are all aspects which are present already in Andrew's singing (and his voice is currently the equal of Faryl's).
Also, when Andrew's voice breaks the only thing that will end is his career as a chorister, if he wants it, he'll be able to get a career as a singer when his voice has broken.
