NOW Mag - Rhydian and Niki Steal the show
Quote:
Niki Evans and Rhydian Roberts steal the show Interesting to get some feedback
The X Factor final 4 performed a secret gig last night - and Now Online were there to get the goss. Rhydian Roberts, Niki Evans, Leon Jackson and Same Difference's Sarah and Sean Smith all belted out 2 songs each in preparation for this Saturday's semi-final. The intimate concert was held in sponsor Carphone Warehouse's Oxford Street branch. And Niki, 34, and Rhydian, 24, stole the show. The former dinner lady - wearing a sparkly black knee-length evening dress - kicked off the programme with 2 power ballads. Niki serenaded one male fan with Jennifer Rush classic The Power Of Love and asked a member of the audience to join her as she hit the right notes with Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Niki displayed some of her Brummie charm by threatening to smack anyone not swaying to her songs. She was followed by youngster Leon, 18, and Same Difference. The Scottish lad delivered forgettable performances of Crazy Little Thing Called Love and You Don't Know Me. Brother and sister duo Sean, 21, and Sarah, 18, sang Wham! hit Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now - and they did it all gimmick free. Bookies' favourite Rhydian closed the show with storming renditions of Queen's Somebody To Love and musical hit Somewhere. The crowd gave the Riddler a standing ovation. |

I've put Leon's two clips on my MySpace page. It's the best I've heard him sing. Two absolutely fantastic performances.

Just watched Rhydian singing STL. I'm sure Cowell has watched this and is licking his wallet right now. His interraction with the audience, his chat at the beginning is just incredible for someone who is still effectively an amateur. This has convinced me even more that this bloke is gonna be huge..no matter whether he wins X Factor or not.

Shame because he seems like a really sweet guy and he is definitely the second best vocal talent in this competition! Although SD are always fun to watch too
