Hi everyone.

Looking forward to seeing all those going to see Rhydian in concert tonight.

Wonder which songs he'll perform for us. There's some I'd especially love to hear him sing.

Another question is where will he start his first song As he doesn't always start it on stage - could be from a side entrance or back of the theatre making his way to the stage. Or if he starts on stage it might not necessarily be on the ground, ha ha!

Best male contestant to appear on the X factor.

I think you'll find we agree with you there Teflon Don

He's in concert tonight in Warrington so will report back.

Actually this thread could do with some updates, be back later The Rhydler is as busy as can be lately

I'm going tonight! Really looking forward to it...haven't seen him since July '09, it feels like forever!

Hi Teflon Don Welcome!

Quacka - if I knew what you look like and saw you tonight, I'd say "hello"!

Rattie - see you this afternoon.

*This has been Silly Sue reporting live from Warrington for DS RAT

Short (5 foot) with long red hair! Will probably have confused look on my face.

I'm not easy to spot (with the being short) but if anyone does, please feel free to say hello

I'm brunette with short (similar to a pixie style) hair and I'll most likely be grinning like a loon!

Will keep an eye out

Can' t type much, on my kindle at the hotel and running out of free WiFi time! Rhyd was amazing tonight, personal favourites were Stars and New York, New York but the whole thing was typical Rhydian awesomeness Didn't meet any RATs, but maybe next time! More gushing tomorrow, I'm sure

Sorry you didn't get to meet anyone Quacka. RATs are usually found on the front row so next time you go to a show feel free to wander down to the front row and introduce yourself!

Really enjoyed the show in Warrington (Hi Sue!) I agree with Quacka that New York, New York was a highlight. I also adore O Holy Night (happy memories of Christmas 2007 for more than one reason) but gutte dhe didn't fall to his knees

The next show I have booked is Llandudno next year but I might be tempted by The Rocky Horror Show

So you've almost succumbed to the temptation of 'Rocky', Dolph. I haven't got anything planned Rhyd-wise for next year so far.

Quacka - I kept telling peeps to look out for you but we didn't spot you. One day we'll catch up with ya.

I thought Rhydian's voice was on fine form on Friday. It was certainly superb on 'The Impossible Dream' which never fails to amaze me.

'Ave Maria' isn't usually my type of song but I really enjoyed it - beautifully sung.

I was disappointed when he didn't perform 'Get The Party Started' as he popped back on stage after a clothing change in his sparkly suit. However he did treat us to some Christmas songs including one of Dolph's faves 'O Holy Night' (lovely!).

Rhydian wasn't signing after this show however one of the funniest moments for me was when I was waiting for a taxi outside the venue with friends. Two young girls managed to grab Rhydian when he made his exit from the venue. He did stop to have his picture taken with them.

When the girls were dispersing from the area, you should have heard them! One was on her mobile squealing that they'd just met Rhydian. They couldn't get over it. Needless to say it had me grinning like a loon. I bet they were both still going on about it when they got home!

One day, Sue!

I'm going to the Buxton concert in April, nothing else booked...yet

Glad to see the RATs are still getting Rhyd fixes

You must come to another concert or show Neelia.

Just so you know Neelia there were no toilet incidents at the concert.

Was a case of a missing mobile phone but thankfully that turned up safe and sound. Not my phone I hasten to add (you know who you are! ).

Hi Sue

I hope to get back n the swing next year. I have a few distractions at the moment but from about July on I will be back on track!

Toilet incident. I can't think what you mean!

*looks accusingly at Del

Merry Christmas to all RATs

Neelia - look forward to hearing from you next year.

Happy Rhydmas to you too, Grim and all in the RAT House!

Rhydian has posted on RR today. His message below including typos.



I'm pleased he'll be spending Christmas with his family.

He's been in Brighton because of his role as Rocky in 'The Rocky Horror Show'. Seems to be going well.

Merry Rhydmas

Merry Christmas RATs!

Merry Christmas Neelia!

Enjoy.

LOL That was the funniest thing EVER Sorry Neels

Looking forward to Rocky Horror later this month

Hi DiamondDoll,

I remember watching him performing 'Phantom of the Opera' on XF4 and thinking "This guy is like a guest rather than a contestant" Excellent!


Enjoy yourself at 'Rocky', Del.

Have a wonderful time at Rocky Del!

Happy New Year RATs! Hopefully it will be onwards and upwards for Rhydian in 2013 and that I get round to a gig - oh and a RAT party!

I've been browsing the threads from 2008 and someone posted this of Rhydian at an Andrew Lloyd Webber event - what a wonderful voice he has
