Andres Faustini is from Rome, Italy. He decided to perform on the UK X factor. To start of with Andrea is represented as a joke and the judges and other contestants believe he is not serious about his singing and believe he is only coming on the show to be on TV and to be seen. This shows that the show is not just to find someone who can sing but have to have a good appearance, this is shown as the judges are judging him based on his appearance and not his voice. Everyone is laughing and judging him before he has even started singing. One reason this reaction is from the way Andrea acts when talking in his clip, to the judges and other contestants. This is in a cheery and happy manner. Also because of the way he is dressed. This is a signifier. The way Andrea's talks about his love for 'PUGS' and shown from his top/ jumper, gives the representation that he is seen as a joke and a character. The mediation of this is the camera shots that have been shown, these shots are of Andrea's joking about and talking about his love for pugs and how much it would mean to him if he won the x factor. This makes the audience and other contestants laugh as they believe he will not get through to the next round. These shots create an assumption for the audience and the contestants. Everyone is proved wrong including the judges once Andrea's starts singing and proves he can and is good at singing.
