Diva ?

Looks like Andrea thought he had it in the bag until last weekend.



'X Factor': Andrea Faustini 'Locks Himself In Hotel Room For 12 Hours' After Sing-Off With Stevi Ritchie

It appears 'X Factor' hopeful Andrea Faustini was just as shocked as we were to find himself in the sing-off on last weekend's show - so much so that he reportedly holed himself up in his hotel room for 12 hours.

Andrea ended up in the bottom two with Stevi Ritchie after the pair received the fewest amount of viewer's votes, despite being an early favourite to win the singing competition.

After being put through to the next round, the Italian fled the 'X Factor' studios in tears and locked himself in his hotel room, according to The Sun.

Despite staff on the show pleading with him to come out of his room, he apparently refused, choosing to stay put with only his sister Elena for company.

'X Factor' sources have said show bosses are now worried he won’t be able to handle the pressure going forward.

A source said: “Andrea was riding high and had an awfully long way to fall.”

Earlier this month, Simon Cowell apologised to Andrea after he criticised his performance during Big Band week.

Speaking to The Sun, Simon admitted: “I had a bad night. I had a really bad headache, I was really grumpy.

“I want to apologise to Andrea because I wasn’t being fair.”

quelle surprise

[Kizzy]

I missed some of the show, what did simon say to him?

He said he was a fat I-tie and nowt but a 1-trick pony


It was harsh but fair

[LukeB]

How can he be surprised to be there? Does he think he is safe all the time! He is so cocky! I hope he is in bottom 2 again and actually go if he is going to act like a kid being told off.

[Liam-]

Oh yes, it's such a crime to be upset about being in the bottom two :bored:

[LukeB]

Oh yes, it's such a crime to be upset about being in the bottom two :bored:

Not everyone thinks they're safe and locks themselfs in a hotel room :idc:

[Vanessa]

The show is running scared now and pulling all the stops to get him out. I wouldn't be surprised if the song "Hero" was chosen on purpose by show bosses. Bad press, Simon negative comments, singing first. Yep : they're running scared. Imagine the humiliation of having an italian winning the UK X Factor. :spin:

[Liam-]

Not everyone thinks they're safe and locks themselfs in a hotel room :idc:

I'm not sure about you, but I'd be upset about being in the bottom two as well, I'd want some comforting from family as well.. People are just assuming it's because he thought he was safe :joker:

[Vanessa]

This could be exaggerated. Simon bad press going into overdrive.

[Crimson Dynamo]

he has to go

he is a foreigner and could be a spy or one of them sexualhumus's?

[Vanessa]

I'm not sure about you, but I'd be upset about being on the bottom two as well, I'd want se comforting from family as well.. People are just assuming it's because he thought he was safe :joker:

I think this article is bull****. He looked perfectly happy on Loose Women. He was getting snogged left right and centre! :laugh:

[LukeB]

I'm not sure about you, but I'd be upset about being on the bottom two as well, I'd want se comforting from family as well.. People are just assuming it's because he thought he was safe :joker:

I would just take it, it's apart of life, how is he going to cope in the outside world :shrug: if you can't take being in the bottom 2 then he is in the wrong business. Only the young was sad to be in the bottom 2 they got on with it in the end, they never acted like Andrea. It's sad but lifes a bitch gotta deal with it

[Liam-]

I wonder if this story would be taken differently if it was Lauren of Fleur.. There would probably be outcries of 'aww poor thing!' 'Hope she's okay!' But no.. Andrea does it and it's arrogance personified :idc:

:clap1:

[LukeB]

No because Lauren and Fleur don't think they're safe and they won't be shocked to be in the bottom 2.

[Vanessa]

No because Lauren and Fleur don't think they're safe and they won't be shocked to be in the bottom 2.

Of course they would be shocked. They think they're in the final already.

[Liam-]

No because Lauren and Fleur don't think they're safe and they won't be shocked to be in the bottom 2.

It would come as a shock to everyone, it would also upset them, I'm sure it would upset anybody, so if they locked themselves in their room because they were upset, would you also call them cocky or say they needed to go?

Shock to the public and judges yes
Fleur won't be shocked if she was in the bottom 2 i think she been there before so she knows how to deal with it
Lauren won't be shocked as well she keeps saying to people on twitter we will when i'm out.

[Liam-]

So you're saying people who are constantly being praised by the judges and who are being told that they'll be pop stars when the show finishes, haven't been in the bottom 2 this series, wouldn't be shocked/disappointed/upset if they find themselves in the bottom 2?

Of course they would be :joker:

[warrenhill]

Ive had a feeling over the last couple of weeks that the Andrea we see on live shows is not the one they see for the rest of the week.


He was the main one they built up through the boot camp and judges houses and maybe he thought he would be straight to the final.


To be honest hes always going to be saved by the judges while they have that power unless hes up against Fleur who i think the judges know will have a longer career in the spotlight.


His fan base has been dwindling as week after week on the whole the songs he is getting are "very similar". Big ballards are ok but lets be honest here...all the other acts have shown more variety.


I can see him lasting another week but i doubt he will make finals night.


A hot fav to win the comp at the start has now drifted right out to 5/1 and the bookies usually have an insight to who is doing best when the votes are counted.

It's very hard for acts who are not from the UK to get to the final. And Simon and the show is also pulling all the stops to get him out. Singing first, Simon negative comments about his appearance, negative press, choosing Hero. All designed to get him out. It's a miracle he's still there, when they managed to get Paul out so early.

[Liam-]

I doubt he'll go this weekend, but it's more than likely that he'll be out next weekend.. and in that case, he'll have done amazing to get to the semi finals anyway so I'll be marginally happy with that :love:

I agree Vanessa but i think here in the UK you would have a better chance then any other country of doing well as we tend to forget about where people are from.

Remember Britains Got Talent was won by the Hungarian act and no one complained that they were not from Britain as the title of the show states.

Maybe they have seen something they dont like that we havn't.

The show is not an even playing field. They always get who they want im the final and get rid of who they don't like. It's Simon show and he controls everything. Andrea career will start once he's out of this farce of a show.

But he doesn't have Italy's vote. If he had that he would walk this.

[Niamh.]

Oh yes, it's such a crime to be upset about being in the bottom two :bored:

I know right? :umm2: I don't even watch the show but how does him being upset about being in the bottom two make him a diva?

[warrenhill]

Yes but the Hungarians didnt have the votes from their country and they still won...:laugh:

[Vanessa]

If Andrea and Lauren sing first on saturday then my theory is correct : They want them out.

[Vanessa]

Yes but the Hungarians didnt have the votes from their country and they still won...:laugh:

BGT is different, i think. On the X Factor the voting public doesn't want non UK act to win. No way. Andrea has been getting a lot of "go back to Italy" kind of posts. They want all british final.

[Vanessa]

I know right? :umm2: I don't even watch the show but how does him being upset about being in the bottom two make him a diva?

Simon bad press is going into overdrive. He's pulling all the stops to get Andrea out.

It doesn't, but people who are desperate for a reason to give the rival to their favourite a bad name, will make a fuss about any little thing they can :shrug:

The highest place someone from outside the UK was Ruth Lorenzo 5th and she didn't have Simon trying to get her out. I'm hoping Andrea goes a bit further. But we know the show is trying to get him out, so it will be very hard.

[Niamh.]

I need to know what my friends from Gogglebox think about this, they all adored Andrea last time I watched :think:

Ruth :lovedup:

He'll either be out this week or next week, he won't make the final unfortunately.

He will have an amazing career no matter where he places. He'll be snapped up by a record label for sure. He has natural talent and is only 20. :love:

[kirklancaster]

Simon bad press is going into overdrive. He's pulling all the stops to get Andrea out.

Simon has a fondness for 'women of colour' and always has had - long before fame came his way - and he has a palpable massive crush on his 'baby' (his words) Fleur East. A 'Blind Man On Horseback' can see as much, and Simon will stop at nothing to make Fleur a huge star, starting with her winning the X-Factor.

However, Simon knows that there is a stumbling block in the shape of Andrea and thus, is doing everything in his considerable power to remove that stumbling block.

Cowell is nobody's fool - he is not worried about any other competitor but Andrea, which is why he is doing the 'hatchet job' on him, it is unfair, but nothing personal. Andrea is simply a threat to Cowell's plans to play 'Svengali' with Fleur East as his 'Trilby.

Andrea will get signed anyway. He has so much potential. He needs a good label, not the joke that is Syco.

Yes he certainly will, and I really hope he does. I'm an Andrea fan, and I see the final between him and Fleur. I want Fleur to win but won't mind it the other way around.
