X Factor Rhydian Shrugs Off Death Threats

RHYDIAN Roberts has been receiving death threats from X Factor fans who think his ego is too big.

The 24-year-old Welsh student has vowed not to let the messages get to him.

He said: "There are some disturbed people on the internet who want to kill me.

"It is ridiculous and these people obviously don't have anything better to do.

"They are nutters and I hope I can win them over with my performance and they can see a different side of me.

"I know there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance and I am confident because I have been training for five years as a singer."

The X Factor's creative director Brian Friedman has called for all contestants to be mentally tested to make sure they are fit enough to cope with this sort of stress that comes with the show.

His comments come after finalist Sisi Jghalef swallowed pills in a suicide attempt after being thrown off the hit series.

He said: "On American Idol everyone is tested first and I really do think it should happen here.

"You have to be mentally strong to deal with that level of rejection in such a public way."

I can't stand him, and he does have a very big ego, and he is big headed. But that's just sick wanting to kill him, he isn't a evil, horrible person.

Whatever anyone thinks of him, someone who posts death threats is totally out of order and mentally unstable. What idiots there are in this world!

I think Rydian's great. So what if he has an ego? What is exactly wrong with being self assured? It's a good thing to have in the music industry. People should just judge him on his voice (which is amazing), after all it is a talent competition.
