I love that he doesnt try to be a goody toe shoes like Jamal or punkass like hakeem. I love that he can be brutal and surprising that is what makes he more appealing and interesting character from the two. Jamal is always going to be the chosen son and hakeem is always going to the rapper who wants to get laid but you never know what to expect from Andre.
Actually, Hakeem is considered the chosen one cause Daddy Lucifer sees him as a mini him, but he isn't.
I'm loving Bad Andre and hope he takes down his daddy, throws that baby murdering bitch off a building for murdering his wife and child and does whatever he likes to his neglectful mother.
Had to laugh over Cookie's line about how Andre's changing in a way she can't get a handle on. Well, maybe if you actually spent any quality time with him instead of only wanting him when you want something out of him or he's on the edge of a breakdown maybe you could figure it out. Still haven't forgotten how when she got out of prison she went to see Jamal and Hakeem but Andre had to go see her or he wouldn't have seen her, at all.
Thank you, I think people have forgotten that andre has never been cookies pick. She loves him, yes because that her son but he isnt her fav or the one she adores, that would be Jamal and sometime hakeem but andre has always been the black sheep of the family. I think andre is tired of been ran on and being second or third best to his brothers.
I think he sees alot himself with nessa. She is the talented girl who may never get her shine because of the way she looks or her style of music and he feels the same way that he will never get his shine because he bipolar and ivy lead grad that doesnt sing. He feels the only way to succeed is to scheme because noone is paying attention or cares.
Cookie might not be so high on Jamal if he didn't have any singing talent. As it is she sees Jamal is getting high and she's not even trying to help him. He almost died a couple of weeks ago and she's clueless about that. She's too into her new boyfriend.
Andre's the overlooked son because he doesn't have any singing talent, but he's smarter than either brother is. Neither parents treat him that well. One parent is protecting the bitch that murdered his wife and child and the other ignores him until she needs him to show up to try and impress her new boyfriend's mother.
Far as I'm concerned he's just giving back what he's gotten.
Each season it's a character's year. The first year it was Cookie's year. Last year it was Lucious' year. And this year it's the Year of Andre.
Hakeem was so lame trying to fight Andre knowing Andre is bigger and stronger than he is. He can beat Hakeem's little a$s in a second. Yeah, that was hot!!?

Andre is done being the good boy after losing his wife and baby, and being beat up by the police in-front of his own house for trespassing. Don't forget that he still has a court case pending regarding the false allegations that he assaulted the police officers.
Andre has changed to a darker person and I have mixed feelings about how this is being portrayed.
I am concerned about Andre's bipolar surfacing again. They showed him having one of his crazy visions and hearing his dead wife talk to him before he was suddenly interrupted by Nessa. That scene unnerved me. Is Andre doing all this scheming out of sheer will with an objective decision to rise to the top or is his bipolar clouding his judgement? I am very worried especially when he chopped off that little girl's hair.
I really like this rogue side of Andre but I don't want to see him fall apart due to his bipolar illness again especially since I am seeing promos with Nessa telling him she can't do all the crap Rhonda was doing for him. Nessa might take off when she finds out about Andre's illness. She doesn't seem the type to be able to take care of him like Rhonda did. She has always been taken care by her brother Shyne so we'll see how things develop.
I do hope that Andre rises to the top and shakes things up at Empire though. It's long overdue for Andre.

NCHI9, u bring up some good points but im sure you as well as I know that promos can be misleading as hell. I bet anything nessa is going to encourage andre that he doesnt need taken care of. Lets face it Rhonda kinda babied him and made him a handicap. She rode for him but also caused him alot of depression too.

I hope so. The more I see promos of Andre dreaming about his time with Rhonda on the beach, the more I am concerned that he may just be using Nessa for his own motives. I love them together and I hope they stay together as a couple. I don't know but I am starting to have my doubts about Andre and his bipolar.
Until Andre let's go of Rhonda's ghost, I can't trust his relationship with Nessa. I hope Nessa has the ambition, strength and smarts to take care of herself in case Andre falls apart...LOL!!!!

Have you seen the latest promo. Andre dreaming about Rhonda and she walks away and their hands let go. I wonder is that sign they he is finally letting go of her and moving forward with nessa completely. It seems like he may really be falling inlove with nessa, I mean he really went to bat for her in the last episode, I mean he got super pissed when that racist woman didnt think she was good enough to perform in the fashion show, I think he was really offended by that.

That is the clip that bothers me. TBH, I wish the writers had just dealt with Rhonda's death head-on, had a funeral and have Andre grieve and then let go. All this Andre with Rhonda's ghost lingering on is just a complete turn-off. But who knows? Maybe the writers have another twist coming.

I hope so because I am really rooting for them as a couple but each time Andre goes into those his day-dreaming spells with Rhonda talking to him, it just doesn't play well with me. Nessa should step in and tell him to get a grip and take control over his bipolar. He just can't let the disease derail his success in life.
