Cowell: 'Rhydian should have won'

[Locke.]

Simon Cowell has revealed that he thinks Rhydian Roberts should have won last year's X Factor.

The judge admitted that Roberts, who took second place in the competition, was a more talented singer and performer than eventual winner Leon Jackson.

Speaking before Roberts's recent performance of 'The Impossible Dream' on The X Factor, Cowell told The Times: "Well, I think he's going to prove something tonight, which is that he should have won.

"I know I'm not supposed to say Rhydian should have won but it's true. I believe that 100%."

Cowell has since signed both Jackson and Roberts to his record label, Syco, as well as fellow finalists Same Difference.

Roberts released his self-titled debut album last month.

Okay the Riddler has a great opera voice, even if he is rubbish at performing in opera's, but is he the sort of person that could win the show.... well no.

Simple Simon is probably right he should have won it, but that's what happens when you set up an opera singer to win a popular music singing contest.... you fail. May be he should change the format if that is the sort of person he is looking for.
