However, I do think that there should be more variety within the show, and you can equally have the X Factor even if you don't win it, if you're someone like Rhydian. Because I really think he does. Also, I think he's doing it simply to show his talent, in whatever form he chooses. That's the impression I got anyway. It's a shame that his chances of winning are partly decreased because of how he sings as well as everything else, but that's the way the show seems to go. I still think he could enjoy the benefits of winning a show like the X Factor - and justifiably so - but not necessarily become a 'pop star'.
I can't see it happening though, mainly because I am also a fan of Niki and Hope who seem to be appealing more to viewers. Niki also does have a better voice. That, however, just happens to be the case - if they weren't in the competition I'd be disappointed if Rhydian didn't win due to the reasons I stated above.

I agree totally including the bit about Niki and Hope.
However, I'm not sure that the X-Factor needs more variety. There are other shows like "Britain has got Talent" that do have that wider base in which he would fit perfectly. I think he did the X-Factor because it has a bigger audience base than some thing like "Britain has got Talent" and he feels that he is guaranteed more coverage in the press know he will reach more people.
I'm not a big Opera fan, although I have seen some opera's in the past and have been impressed by some of the performers, however one thing I know is that the opera community will be loving the exposer to a younger audience that his appearances in the X Factor is bring to their art form. It's got to be good for them.
