X Factor: Rhydian Roberts
Birmingham resident Rhydian is this year’s X Factor wildcard. He’s charismatic, has a distinctive look (that’s putting it mildly) and can really belt out a tune!
Rhydian almost didn’t remain in the X Factor after he felt the producers of the show were editing the programme to make him look like an egomaniac. Although you might think otherwise, Rhydian claims never to have performed professionally. Anyway, here’s a bit more profile about the flamboyant Mr Roberts.
* Rhydian currently lives in Birmingham where he attends university, but was bought up in Powys, Wales where his family still live.
* Rhydian is a classical baritone singer and has had vocal training for the past seven years. He sings popular opera similar to Russell Watson and Il Divo, if he released an album he’s convinced the “whole of Wales would buy it”
Age: 24
From: Powys, Wales
Job: Student on Vocal Studies and a Personal Trainer

[...] Rhidian Roberts - Oh. My. God. This guy is extraordinary. Before we start on the performance - since when was Pink’s Get This Party Started a big band song? It sounded more like a Bond theme by the time they’d finished with it. The performance by Rhidian was disturbing, funny and brilliant at the same time. His sequined suit actually blended in with the scenery at times. Hilarious. Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]

Rhydian if you are reading this, Bev has certainly “thrown down the gauntlet”.
A little bit too camp Saturday night, however you pulled it of..just!
Maybe you could sing, “Bat Out Of Hell” this coming Saturday, without the gimmicks, you don’t need any, just bring the voice…Lain.
