EXCLUSIVE VIDEO! ‘American Idol’ Andrew Garcia Tells Simon: ‘Get Over ‘Straight Up!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb5Y16A269g

Would YOU have the guts to tell Simon Cowell what to do? Talk about fearless!

Ever since his genius rendition of Paula Abdul‘s ‘Straight Up’ during Hollywood Week, American Idol top 12 contestant Andrew Garcia has failed to live up to the judges’ expectations…particularly the toughest critic of all, Simon Cowell. But now, Andrew is taking a stance and has a message for Mr. Cowell — move on.

“Simon, get over ‘Straight Up,’” the 24-year-old Moreno Valley, Calif. native told us at the American Idol Top 12 party March 11 in West Hollywood.

But even the most confident Idol finalist doesn’t dare overstep his boundaries toomuch. “Don’t tell him I said that!” Andrew said, quickly re-assessing his words. “I love him.”

YIKES! That is one battle we’d be nervous to fight! Our advice, Andrew? Sing Michael Jackson. You’re brilliant at it.

Watch the rest of the video to hear the other contestants dish about the judges! Who is YOUR favorite Idol?

Yes! It would be awesome if Andrew Garcia would sing Michael Jackson. I wonder what the categories will be in the upcoming weeks?
