Brilliant! Dude's a genius. File under 'US version of Andrew Stone.'
Another of the show's stars, perpetually under the illusion he is going to be very famous in 15 minutes, or that he was famous 15 minutes ago and why doesn't everyone remember, is dance teacher Andrew Stone, who is so full of himself, and full of plans for a superstar future, he almost makes the elastic, rococo Louie Spence seem about as lugubrious as Eamonn Holmes. The story of Andrew and his group Starman, a discount Scissor Sisters, and their manager Rob Davies, a close relative of the manager of the Flight of the Conchords, as they attempt to land a recording deal is the closest television has got to capturing the zany spirit of Spinal Tap. Stone is clearly doomed to fail, again and again, with no conception that he has no chance of making it as a pop star, and yet persists in believing that he is a star so ahead of his time it'll take the rest of the world time to catch up. His hair, smile and moves suggest a future in a Steps revival band, but he is convinced that he has the flair, audacity and brilliance of a combination of Bowie, Prince and Britney. Set inside the frantic make believe world of Pineapple, where ambition and audition is everything, while the outside world is just something you are destined to conquer with your talent and vision, and set inside the television coverage of Pineapple, which subversively examines the manic post-reality, post audition television world, Stone has found an unlikely place where he can thrive.
He may have all the attributes of the underdog, the loser, the fantasist, the one whose drive, self-belief and wild insensitivity actually gets in the way of him getting the fame and attention he seeks, but inside Pineapple, and then inside the Pineapple on the television, everything is turned upside down. He succeeds as the grandest example of self-deluding showbiz failure imaginable, succeeds because at the exact moment it becomes apparent to what extent a failure he is, and how hopeless and unrealistic his dream, he becomes a kind of original creation.

Controller_7 said:His lack of return/response is totally disappointing.
There really isn't much too it. His father is one of the biggest defense attorneys in Florida. The kid is a deluded trust fund hip-hopper...a dime a dozen, really.
He might have psychological issues, as well...which is kinda sad.
EDIT: FWIW, I was just as interested as anyone in watching this train-wreck unfold...but it/he got real typical really fast.

They've been working on a documentary that centers around him.... Only it's been pushed back for over a year now.
Hoping it sees the light of day!

Seems he is a big part of the reason for ruining what was once a perfectly good magazine.

Cause it's 2014 and my work with HEMOL from 2010-2012 had a pretty big impact on HEMOL. And that lead to me writing for HEMOL, which also led to me becoming an A&R for HEMOL. It's pretty incredible to be working with such an amazing and influential HEMOL.
