Rhydian and that ridiculously OTT advert.

Surely they should be cutting down such costs and appreciating any bit of profit made from weak album sales. The ad looks arrogant, pompous but amusingly fitting for Mr. Smug. No there is no jealousy I just don't like false hype.

Stacey to win this weekend!

    The best TV Ad I've ever seen!
    THat video TV Ad has been also the most watch video on YT after the release.:)

    Rhyd's album is doing very well for the classical album, he has debuted on the second place on the Classical Chart!
    Well done, Rhydian!
    The album is the best and of the highest quality from all the albums coming out of any of the XF contestants., that's what I think!

    It's a great advert, imo.

    And BTW, I have finally managed to listen to the album in full - It's on Spotify - and I am very impressed. I like it a lot more than I thought I would because it's not my style of music.

    Yay, Chi, I am so happy you like it!
    It's a true jewel, more you listen to it more it penetrates your heart.

    Hmmm. Predictably unoriginal and derivative. Carmina Burana suggesting satanic connections as per the 'Mr bad Guy' image they tried to cultivate for him, and the visuals are a straight rip-ff from the Daniel Craig 007 promos for (same camp) Sony Blu Ray.

    :yawn:

    Mr. Cowell and his team showing once again that they don't have a grain of original thought between them.

    PS. Rhyd's a raw talent. He should go and get himself a proper career.

    It's hilarious. :D Almost, nearly...just another bit more...and it's showman Rhyd back. It's very Damien/Omen though.....:eek:

    I think it's brilliant and very OTT. Of course it's derivative. And it's funny. I love it.

    People who like Rhydian like him to be a bit OTT. (Well I think so).

    Whilst I absolutely love the advert .. I do have to agree with you that there isn't much originality to it as it's the stadard "gothic"/"Omen"/"Dark Side" video .. but I think it's very effective and represents the song O Fortuna very well ....


    Plus I've always been a fan of the OTT/Scary/over dramatic Rhyd so I love it all (I'm also a big fan of the OTT 80's music videos .. so I'm a bit of a sucker for this kind of thing ..lol)

    Also I wouldn't think that it broke any banks to make as the majority of it will have been shot in the same location with just a few extras and obviously all the special effects are your standard wind machine or studio manipulated ones.


    I don't think I would go as far as saying it's the best video I've ever seen as there have been so many great music video's around .. but I certainly enjoy it and think it does it's job of promoting the feel of the song very well .. I'd download it if it became available on iTUnes :)


    Plus it's way better than I originally feared as I thought we would be stuck with the standard Classical/Crossover video of man in suit walking through fields/mountains

    I like OTT done well.

    I think this is terrific.

    And terrific fun as well.


    No - I LOVE ott done well. I'm not an Elvis and Freddie and Prince and Bassey and Gaga fan for nothing.

    and Rhydian ain't bad.:D

    What's not to love about the video? Pyros, ravens, hooded creepy guys and the glorious Rhydian flexing those fabulous pecs!

    I like the song too :D

    Okay, fair enough. I guess if one of my favourite artists had this type of advert behind them I would be rejoicing too!

    Yes I'm with Sweet Caroline, what's not to like. I can't see anyone on here complaining about a video like that for their chosen XF favourite somehow.It's a fab video :D
