Rhydian Roberts – possibly the most pompous and cocky man in the world – has called for X Factor’s Simon Cowell to sack Cheryl Cole.
The former X Factor contestant doesn’t think Simon hired Cheryl because of her musical experience but insists she just fulfills the role of eye candy on the judging panel.
Former X Factor star Rhydian Roberts reckons Olly Murs will win the show this year because he is the most popular.
The opera ace – who came second to Leon Jackson in the 2007 series – told The News Of The World: “Maybe Olly will be this year’s late bloomer; he’s looking the most likely.
Former X Factor runner up Rhydian Roberts has revealed that he doesn’t like Danyl Johnson from this year’s series and hopes that he doesn’t win the show.
In an interview with the Andy Goulding Breakfast Show on Coventry’s Radio Mercia, Rhydian branded Danyl ‘arrogant’ and a ‘diva.’ We have three words for The Riddler….Pot, Kettle, Black!
Rhydian said: “I really hope that Danyl doesn’t win. One minute he’s feeling sorry for himself, the next he’s too arrogant.
Former X Factor runner up Rhydian Roberts has admitted that he was chuffed to be asked to appear on upcoming TV special, ‘The Susan Boyle Story.’
Susan asked Rhydian to perform on the show, which will feature her telling her life story along with interviews with family and friends.
Rhydian has obviously been listening to Louis Walsh’s recent interviews and now he has insisted that John and Edward Grimes won’t last too much longer on The X Factor.
Rhydian, who finished second in the 2007 series of the show told The Guardian that the twins silliness is ‘wearing thin.’
Roberts said: “The twins are funny, but is it wearing thin now? I don’t mean that in a nasty way: I wish them the best of luck.”
Former X Factor runner up, Rhydian Roberts has admitted that he ‘doesn’t mind’ John & Edward Grimes.
Rhydian told ivillage: “Everybody is talking about John and Edward. I don’t mind them. It’s not their fault they are still in the competition as it is down to the public vote, so they are obviously doing something right.
“They are 17 years old and going out there and having fun. Brain Friedman is bringing great productions to the show with them which I really like. It’s genius what he is doing with them and their songs. They are definitely great entertainment.”
The biggest selling debut male artist of 2008 is back. Today the classically trained X Factor finalist Rhydian Roberts announces details for his brand new studio abuml. O Fortuna showcases Rhydian as his very own man. He says, “I had a much more free hand with this album. I could spend my career trying to reinvent myself but ultimately this is me as a real singer. This is very much where I envisaged being when I was at music school. I’m made up. It’s brilliant. And long may it continue.”
Rhydian Roberts has come out in support of his former X Factor star Leon Jackson who was dropped by his record company last week.
“Leon is a great guy. I wish him well and I’m sure he’ll do fine in the future,” Roberts told the Daily Record.
“People are always trying to see if there is any conflict between us or whether we are still in competition. There probably was competition in The X Factor because that’s what it was all about. But Leon is a gent and he won fair and square.
This has not been a good week for last years X Factor winner, Leon Jackson. Only last week Simon Cowell admitted that he should never have won the show and today Louis also admitted that the public got it wrong.
In an interview with Richard Bacon on BBC Radio 5 live, Louis said: “He’s had a chance. The people voted for him and he won last year.
"Rhydian should probably have won. Rhydian is selling a lot more records. Rhydian is more of an artist. Sometimes the people get it wrong.”
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has admitted that the wrong person won last years X Factor.
Earlier in the year Simon publicly backed Leon Jackson, the winner of the 2007 series, but since his album and single failed to top the charts this months it seems that Simon is losing interest.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan Simon commented “If you are going to be a star, you need to have steel in your eyes. I don’t think last year’s winner had steel in his eyes.
