Good result I agree

He's recorded most of the album now.

Thread dropped to the bottom of the page

Will the album be available in the shops or will we have to send off for it? Is it being released as a CD

Yes it will be released in the same way all albums get released. It's expected to be around February time. It's just the pledgers who will get it early.

This had fallen half way down page 2

As I write this I am watching XF US (I taped it). One of the acts, Jeff Gutt performed Bohemian Rhapsody.

I was thinking how amazing Rhydian would have been doing it

Hi Patti-Ann. I'm intrigued, how does one guy sing that song?

Rhydian's next album is due in Feb/March next year I believe and it's going to have about 16/17 tracks on it.

He tweeted this, this morning when he was on his way to the airport:

“All is well! Going to seek out some locations for my lead track Video. Not going to give too much away at this stage but it's taking shape!:”

Well the song was greatly reduced obviously so could only sing the beginning and end bits, and the 'rock' bit from the middle. It might be on YouTube, I haven't looked

Another act, Tim, sang You Raise Me Up as his 'save me' song, and it reminded me of Rhydian's version and Rhydian was far better

Hi, I just came on for a lurk, but saw comments about Rhydian in Les Mis or Miss Saigon. Actually, I would love to see him get a leading role in either of these productions as he has got the voice and from memories of the X Factor, he is so theatrical and has so much presence. Wasn't Alfie Boe and Matt Lucas in Les Mis? Sorry I missed out on him in Rocky Horror, just as much as I am gutted not to have seen Will Young in Cabaret, sorry random, and no doubt Rhydian was brilliant.

Hi AMS,

Yes Alie Boe & Matt Lucas were in Les Miz, luckily I got to see them at the time. Fab they were too!!

Rocky Horror was a scream I have to say lol. Next time he's cast in a musical, I'll let you know. I still hope I'll live to see the day he plays the Phantom tbh.

Thanks Rattie and the image of him on X Factor as he performed the Phantom, hope he gets the gig. I came and had a lurk and then popped onto You Tunes for a Rhydian feast. Brilliant, I enjoyed Rhydian and Faryl Smith singing The Prayer, thought their voices worked brilliantly together. For some reason I have always had a soft spot for Ave Maria, a track I want for my funeral and so had to check out Rhydian, impressed. Then I finished off with him and Katherine Jenkins performing on X Factor. It is nice to see that so many of the acts have gone on to have successful careers and putting on a good show, away from the X Factor radar.

I do not know if it is me or not and I confess to not watching the X Factor after 2010, but it just seems to have gone downhill and reminds me of the Roman times and Gladiator shows, with baying audiences.

Sorry, but it was nice listening to him on You Tube. Fantastic voice, stage presence and just pure performer. I wish him well with his new album. I would like to see him perform with Sarah Brightman and hope it happens one day.

Hi AMS

I haven't seen Rhydian perform in too long an age but did get to many of his tour gigs and odd performances here and there. He was even better than on Xfactor.

I hate the new DS

Hiya AMS and Neels, sorry just catching up so not ignoring you guys.

Back from a long weekend in Wales and the Rhydler rocked the Grand Theatre with his leading lady from the West End, Louise Dearman. Some vids I grabbed
Twitter and Facebook were awash with compiments for the Rhydler. I saw him after with Louise, I think she's a fan too lol

This was a night of Musical Theatre and as you know it's my absolute fave !!

Ha!! Get those money notes at the end of O Holy Night!!

Rhydian may not be pop fodder, but he is the only artist to shine on the XF who does not fit their spec. Simply because he is an incredible singer. I saw him in Rhyl in a church the following night and he sang beautifully. Really ethereal.

He's an eccentric and he's unlike anyone else but he genuinely is a nice guy and he has all his audiences on their feet wherever he goes.

I hope anyone who loved him on XF buys his next album,he has complete control over it and if you like the crossover genre,and you liked him on XF, then you won't be disappointed.

Just to say for anyone who still visits this thread........Rhydian has recorded his new album. It's 16/17 tracks and is aimed to qualify for the classical chart but he has put extra tracks on to appeal to those who love the other side of him. He's been able to make the album that HE wants to make and it's due for release in Feb/March.

He has an ITV one off special planned for the release time and he's had a documentary made which will be used to market him as well.

The ITV cameraman who filmed him the other day has written a blog. It's a studio owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber that he's referring to lol.

http://mediaattentionltd.blogspot.co.uk/

One of his duet partners is Kerry Ellis, the West End's first lady and Brian May of Queen's protege.

I like this bit of the blog:

Rhydian has been beavering away with his own management making his 5th studio album of rock opera style tunes with a voice that makes your chest vibrate in it's intensity.

The new album sounds like it will be amazing

That's good he will be on ITV and not just the Welsh channel - he needs more national exposure

Did anyone see Xtra Boys Best and Worst last night?

Rhydian was on - his audition, plus clips from Get The Party Started, Phantom and Go West
Patti-Ann
20-12-2013
Just to add to the previous post

Does it make you lol when you watch his audition clip? The classical song he sang to Dannii. Did he really think the judges would be impressed with it

I'm glad he knew the words to the Abba song, or we might never have seen him again

Bless him, they told him to sing that you know. It never fails to surprise me that he shone despite their blatant manipulation to make him look daft. Testament to his talent I guess

Btw, you can hear him interviewed here for Apple FM Radio on 6th December. He talks about his plans for 2014 and the new album, due out at the beginning of March which is a classical crossover album.

https://soundcloud.com/vsj001/rhydia...w-morgan-hotel

I love the fact that he gets to make the album he wants for once.

I never knew that - I thought they brought their own song with them

Looking forward to this album

Happy New Year RATs!
Watching some of those clips, O Holy Night and Anthem were stunning!
BTW I took part in a talent show near Xmas where I live (and I won!)
One song was Anthem.

Well done Grim - you're a star!

Btw, the showbiz columnist for the Daily Star tweeted this today

Rhydian gets to choose this time, I wish him every success!
