He is genuinely one of the best singers in the competition.

As for Cowell’s comments regarding Andrea’s ‘facial contortions’ whilst singing – what relevance has that? ‘Facial contortions’ whilst singing never detracted from the performances of legends like James Brown, Janis Joplin or even Elvis with that curled lip and occasional ‘pop eyes’ during his early days.

Since I am do millionaire I Jose, have infact hired translator for help with English writing. He are now to do help for make post to forum.

I very much agree with what was written here regarding Andrea, I dont actually believe Simon was having a bad day I actually think he truly has his heart set on Stereokicks winning and it appears he is pulling out all the stops to get his wish. Notice how he always stands up to applaud them when they finish performing even though, lets be honest here, 99.9% of the time their performances resemble/sound like a 50 car pile up on the M25. Notice how he always grins like a cheshire cat when SK are told they are through to the next round, last week in particular, his body language after SK got through said it all. I have no doubt in my mind Cowell is trying to bring down Andrea too, listen, if Andrea does not win there is no way in hell Cowell is going to give him a contract, and I really think Cowell does not want Andrea to win and I dont think we have seen the last of the silly comments designed to try and upset the voting. I actually think Andrea can sell records, just not to Cowell's preferred teen - girl market. I have no idea why he loves the teen girl market so much he appears to be bordering on paedophilia if you ask me.
