That man is incRhydible

DAZZLING Rhydian Roberts is the new X Factor favourite – after wowing the judges and fans in his Liberace-style costume.

The Welsh warbler’s strong performance in a silver sequin suit and fake fur coat had punters rushing to back him – slashing his odds from 3/1 to 13/8.

Rhyd, 24, overtakes Niki Evans, 34, as favourite.

Mentor Dannii Minogue said: “Sharon said he looked like the Snow Queen. Is she scared he’ll topple her crown?”

I hope he does win, he's only one that stands out and actually has talent.

Wish I put a bet on him right at the start when they were still editing him to look bad, now that they've stopped and are just showing him naturally people can see he is a decent chap with a hell of a singing voice and a hell of a lot of charisma.

He may have tlanet, but so do Niki and Bev, and they have better personalitys and ent big headeds. I don't mind him being in the final, but it would be a joke if he won.

What a turn-around, from most hated to a hot favourite! He is the most interesting contestant this year!

i like rhydian he is very original and so much the showman. he totaly amazed the panel of judges and i was entertained fully by his performance of andrew lloyd webbers phantom of the opera, that was magnificent and pretty haunting. i would say he is more like the michael ball type. the type you would see on the stage.

When has he been big headed? Niki is boring plus much more stubborn, saying that she didn't care what Simon thought about her performance on Saturday. Plus she has to rely of a silly sob story.

Bev is a good singer but not much else. Rhydian is a great singer, a great performer, a showman and week in week out does something different, while also been quite modest and not taking the show for granted. All the ingredients needed to win I'd say.

People always make these claims that Rhydian is big-headed but I have yet to see any proof. Yet Niki, Emily and Futureproof ("we will have an album out") have all shown signs of big-headedness (if that is a real word), yet never get lambasted for it.

I'm surprised at the change in reactions. I always recognised his talents to begin with, but at the same time understood others peoples' points of view in that his voice may not be suited to TXF. However, I find it unfair that it should be held against him - whilst I may not buy his records, others might. I think he should be given the same opportunity like everyone else, and it seems as if that's exactly what he's doing.

He has some talent. I think when your a singer you need to apply the attitude aswell, which I don't think he has. I agree with all the comments about him being big headed. I also think that he's been given the wrong songs and outfits to make him look like a complete weirdo.

When has he been big headed though. Examples? I can name three other acts that have been far more big headed than Rhydian.

Exactly. If anything, the producers are making him look like a weirdo :thumbs:

I think Rhydian is talented, me and my partner initially thought he was a "geek" but he's growing on us now on talent and performances alone.

I don't rate him on the looks department because I've got Leon and Andy to lust after, and I don't really think Rhydian is particularly nice looking.
