With thanks to diamond1 for spotting this. I know there are many Rhydian fans on here who find that huge appreciation thread a little daunting and it moves so fast that often info is lost, so thought I would post it in a separate thread.

Well can things get much better for this lovely young man I ask myself. He will be so absolutely touched by the fact that he has won this title. He loves Wales and the Welsh and others love him.

Well done Rhydian.

To put this into some context, isn't this some poll for a local radio station which was heavily trailed on various Rhydian sites urging Rhydifans to multiple vote?

I tell you what I would ring the station and ask them because I know no more about it than you . All I know is that it is a prestigious thing to win.

Oh and there were many others that were voted for. Rhydian won it seems.

I'm happy for him, I'm sure it's a nice little honour to have.

But I think to call it 'prestigious' is pushing it a bit - it's hardly up there with the Oscars?

It isn't a local radio station it is a Welsh Radio station.

It's still nice that he beat some well known Welsh personalities ... I'm sure he will be happy about it

I liked reading some of the comments....especially this one

"Rhydian Roberts for his pride in Wales, concern for carers and his amazing singing ability. A true role model for youngsters everywhere".

In the context of radio stations, it's a local radio station broadcasting in South Wales. And in the context of the vote Rhydian fans across the world were encouraged to vote en masse, even if they'd never heard the station in their life or even visited Wales, or in some cases couldn't point it out on a map.

From the thread title I was expecting to be something more official, maybe BBC organised.

Anyway well done Rhydifans, you won
