Rhydian now the underdog and loved by many
This is a gem of a marketing strategy. The rightful winner who came across early on as arrogant loses and is now beloved by many and seen to have been done over like a kipper. Millions feel sorry for him and are shocked by the result. We now want to hug him and tell him it will all be ok.
We want him to succeed and go out and buy his first album by the bucket load. Superstardom awaits Rhydian it really does. Clever old Mr Cowell. A perfect way to erase the early stitch up. |

I understand what you're saying, but I would like people to buy Rhydian's album as they enjoy his singing, not because they feel sorry for him.

![]() Does the OP mean Cowell actually planned Rhydian losing? Why did he look so gutted then? As the final went on I thought it was a Will v Gareth situation, the more experienced singer against a younger man. |

As the final went on I thought it was a Will v Gareth situation, the more experienced singer against a younger man. Simon wanted Same Difference to win and thought Same Difference were 2nd place in most of the polls. It backfired on Simon when they came 3rd hence the guilty look on his face when he realized he had sabotaged Rhydian’s chances with the song choices and VT best bits edits. Simon is a ruthless business man.

In any event coming second as definately helped soften Rhydian's image. The old tags will be forgotten now which is a good thing

Sorry but I dont think the press are doing Rhyd any good with the radios station boycotting Leon song etc, coz Rhyd didnt win is make people look at the welsh as being very childish. And also some the bitterness from some Fan are getting up people nose. If anything if this goes on it will back fire on Rhyd as people dont like all the hate and more so when its xmas and will need some one to take it out on which will be Rhyd IMO.

This series has been one big joke, sob stories/mediocre singers…apart from the talented Rhydian. |

I can't blame the radio stations for their actions. The result was a total farce! Rhydian is World class and he will prove it. |
