I just don't see what all the hype is about. Strange looking bloke, above average voice but nothing special and actually quite boring, unless dressed in sequin suits and fur coats when he begins to become "entertaining"

You're not alone, I have seen the odd poster here and there saying the same thing.
You are in the minority though, but, never mind eh

It is all about personal taste really. There will be many that do like Rhydian and many that dont. Same goes for the other remaining acts. It doesnt mean you are wrong. Just means that you have your own personal preference in music. It would be a pretty boring place if we all liked the same thing.

There are lots of people, just look at all the anti-threads or go on the appreciation thread of at least one of the other acts still in the competition and he is regularly criticised for everything from his performances, his singing and even his appearance.

Thank you! I was beginning to kind of take to him a while back (one of his performances i quite enjoyed) but just cannot muster up the enthusiasm for him. Other people on the forum seem to worship him but i just see him as totally overrated - as you say, each to their own It is however interesting to see how both Sharon and Danni have had to concede defeat to the general public - as I recall they both declared their total dislike for him. I find Sharon's now public display of affection for him quite embarassing - wonder who told her to be nice to him in the last couple of weeks...

No, I really don't like Rhydian. I don't like operatic voices.

I too don't like Rhydian, he is annoying and it just isn't my type of music at all. I wish there was just more suspense in this years x factor as to who is gonna win

No Maria your not the only one i thought i was aswell lol I dont know what the fuss is about either. Hes just a average singer and is no better than any contestant who ever got into the final 12 In all series. I dont understand why people are going beyond worship for him.....Hes cringeworthy and he should have gone into theatre instead of x factor as i believe he's not suited to a pop career.

No I said he is too good for a pop career...............he is not a pop singer - he has a classically trained voice and is destined for higher things

But its not just Pop is it - its not Pop Idol - its XFactor! So presumably that covers all types of singing/voices - just looking for an XFactor in somebody (?) Rhydian has an above average voice, opera/classical whatever, but he just doesn't have the XFactor IMO + he is kinda strange looking, and have to agree with Sharon that the eyes are empty....and a bit scarey I am fascinated that people actually find this guy attractive I have difficulty getting my head around that one.....

Isn't he just destined for different things? Is non-pop music intrinsically better, or higher, than pop music?

Ive said endless amount of times he doesnt have the x factor but be prepared to give it good reason Maria when 100 Rhydian fans come here and all start on you with that 1 *rolls eyes*

And who would you say does have the X Factor then ? Assuming we take everything into account........voice/stage presence/charisma ??

That's a personal opinion. And really, you don't have to bother trying to getting your head around that one. Just accept that some people do find him absolutely gorgeous (me included) .

I don't get him at all. He wears ridiculous outfits nearly every week and sings camp songs badly, his voice is drowned out by the backing and wobbles all over the place. There is also that horrible arrogance. I don't very often agree with Sharon, but he does not have that spark behind his eyes that Leon has.

When has he been arrogant - take out the edited bootcamp footage which Dannii said wasn't the truth. He is probably the most humble one there and does not expect to win. The contestants leaving the competition all love him as do the backstage staff - Hope couldn't say enough nice things about him on TV yesterday. I don't know what Sharon's problem with him is but she is notoriously nasty to people especially when drunk, as she appeared to be on Saturday, so that is no loss for him. I don't think her hatred is based on him as a person. She anyway seems to be the only one on the show who feels like that and I'm sure he can live without her approval. She was just trying to be cruel on Saturday and it worked - he looked devastated, probably made her feel good though as she wanted to hurt him.
The outfits were not his choice, he was only doing what was asked of him.
I can't remember when he has been drowned out by the backing apart from Saturday when he had vocal problems and was given a choir of 30-40 people to compete against.

But a lot clearly don't like him or his voice as the threads here show, although some do feel the need to voice their dislike over and over so probably there aren't quite as many as it seems.

I think the show producers have been very clever with the way he has been portrayed after the initial bad press her suffered.

In my opinion he is average - no great on stage persona and a rather annoying tenor voice - especially in pop songs....

He actually gives me the creeps - I dont find him natural - I think a lot of people are taken in by the gimmicks and the fact the SImon Comwell likes him - if Simon says he likes someone then everyone follows............
