Here’s the video of Rhydian Roberts’ “Somewhere” on 24th November on X Factor.

The lights of the stage haven’t even cooled, nor have the echoes of the applause faded, and the offers for the talents of the great Rhydian Roberts are already pouring in. Rhydian is not your typical pop star who usually wins these types of competitions; he is a classically trained performer who shines the brightest when he is on stage performing for a live audience.

Rhydian Roberts is no fly by night singer who will make a few hits and move on into obscurity. Rhydian Roberts has true staying power and can look forward to a future as a powerhouse singer of stage and screen.

He has even won the approval of Simon Cowell who usually has nothing good to say about anyone. He likened the blond bombshell to Leona Lewis a pop sensation. Sharon Osbourne has said, “You are definitely going to win this.” But fate can be fickle and as they say in the world of opera in which Rhydian Roberts moves, “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”

Rhydian has won many fans with his quirky, individualistic style and striking blonde hair. His apparent love and respect for his parents, especially his mum is refreshing when most pop star wannabes want to show the world how “cool” they are. Rhydian’s fresh faced good looks coupled with his signature style have captured the attention of fans everywhere.

Still going up against the girl band Hope, Rhydian has the best chance of winning the competition and if he does not win, he is now on the public’s radar and doesn’t look like the type of guy who will go quietly into that good night.

He has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the editors of the show for the way they portrayed him in his auditions. He felt he was made to look like a laughing stock and that his footage was edited in such a way that it would make him look foolish. It doesn’t seem that the editing has hurt his chances in any way as each week he continues to deliver solid performances that are entertaining and polished.

He also felt that other contestants that were vying for the top spot were given editing that was more sympathetic and they were allowed to tell their sob stories. It is said that even before the live shows began, that Rhydian was thinking about calling it quits and throwing in the towel. Rhydian has gotten as far as he has without depending upon the sympathy of the audience; he is being judged solely on his superior talent.

How many people would be poorer if he decided not to compete? It is splendid to see a young man not afraid to show the world who he is and proud of his uniqueness and talent. Rhydian was determined he would get his real personality across to the audience when he began performing live and he has certainly achieved that goal and in a big way.

 I am a huge Rhydian Roberts fan! Who else isn’t? It’s hard not to be drawn by this man’s amazing talent. His vocal abilities are amazing. But I have to say that I was slightly put off the Rhydler when I read that he owns a cuddly bear called Tinkle Bear! Oh get a life Rhydian Roberts! How can you expect your male fans to take you seriously and justify their support of you in the pub to their mates, when you go to bed with a cuddly toy called Tinkle Bear! Okay, the girls might dig it, but we guys can’t get a handle on this.

I also read somewhere that you describe yourself as good-looking, talented and modest. Rhydian Roberts you are definitely not modest. Good-looking and talented you may well be, and I certainly question your crush on Sharon Osbourne — but Keira Knightley I can identify with. That lady is seriously gorgeous.

Anyway, I’m seriously behind Rhydian Roberts and so are my mates and we hope that he wins the competition as he should indeed do. Let’s be honest, mentioning no names, but some of the acts which are still there should have been slung off the show a long time ago. Sometimes one has to question the judgment of the great British public! However, it could be that our judgement been slightly diverted by other matters like I’m A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here. I don’t know about you, but this year’s series has gone from bad to worse. I watched it on the first night, but fell asleep as it was that boring! I haven’t found the motivation to switch on since. Thank goodness for the mighty X Factor and superstar Rhydian Roberts.

Anyway, the excitement is building up now as the show progresses into its final weeks. It will be interesting to see if Simon Cowell can maintain his composure against the constant bantering and bitching from Louis Walsh. Don’t you find him irritating sometimes? Why on earth they ever brought him back is anybody’s guess. Although I have to admit, he is far more qualified to be a judge in the show, then the delectable and delicious Danii Minogue. I am not quite sure what qualifications she has to judge successful pop tunes! Ouch!

Well I said my piece and I’m off. It’s great to see a blog dedicated to the mighty Rhydian Roberts and I do hope that you get lots of visitors from our mutual friends who are willing Rhydian to win the contest!

Welcome to the cyberworld of everything Rhydian Roberts. Feel free to gush as well as criticize because in the end, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t love the Ridler. His talent shines through with each performance and sometimes it is so overwhelming it brings tears to your eyes. It is hard to find any contestant on the X-Factor competition that compares to him.

He has charisma, good looks, and a stage presence that cannot be denied. He loves his mum and for all female fans everywhere, nothing is more attractive than a chap who loves his mum. Listening to him perform, as he takes each song and makes it his own is a pleasure and without Rhydian Roberts, X-Factor would be just another boring talent show.

That is not to put down the talents of the rest of the contestants. It is just that Rhydian Roberts is so clearly head and shoulders above the pack when it comes to the complete package of what one looks for in an entertainer, that it is hard to give the other contestants a fair shake.

In his last performance, some harsh criticism was thrown the Ridler’s way when he performed a campy disco number that had two of the three judges disappointed in the content. They didn’t seem to blame our Rhydian; they blamed Gina for what they deemed a disappointment for his core fan base. I guess they just didn’t get it. He was brilliant; better than brilliant, he was fantastic!

I think they are too quick to judge, after all, most of us fans know that Rhydian has to perform whatever gimmick for the week that is handed out. He did a great job with what he was given, and if the judges don’t get that, they ought to think about changing the way the themes are chosen. Not every singer is going to peak for every genre of music that is assigned. Disco may not be his thing, but he sure sounded good while he did it.

Sharon Osbourne was the only one of the judges that appreciated this performance in the spirit it was intended. It was a riot to see the blokes lined up and saluting, while Rhydian looked so gallant and dashing in his dress whites. His powerful voice never once overtook the music and as always, there was not a hair out of place. He performed like a trouper and those true female fans swooned to see him looking so dapper.

This sexy, talented guy will go far no matter what the outcome on X-Factor. He has too much talent for someone not to scoop him up as quickly as they can. We predict he will be selling multi-platinum records in the near future, with fans lining up, days in advance, to purchase tickets to see him live and in the flesh. Who knows, he may even transport his fame and talent across the pond to America, where he beats their favorite Clay Aiken, who was a winner on Simon Cowell’s similar show, American Idol.
