Downloads are included on the chart updates that I receive..... am thinking its a mistake or that they will include Leons figure on Thursday

Hi Timmy, were you at the show Saturday?

Yes we are all shocked at the result, but in the long run it will probably be best for Rhyd.

All the talk in the press seem to indicate that they think he was robbed and that he will have the longer more successful career.

Rhyd was great on Saturday night, I just wish they had let him sing an upbeat song, that would have really pulled in some of the floating voters.

Also they totally stitched him up with the VT clips from the auditions ... parts of that should never have been included.

Louis thinks that Leon's emotional vt won it for him because the difference in votes shot up from 1% to 10% immediately after. Viewers didn't even get to see Rhydian's vt and performance till approx 10 minutes after that, and then when they did they just had a few minutes to vote, with the lines constantly jammed.

Yeah, with Sharon sayintg nasty things and Dannii pretending to be sick Basically some of the audition footage made him look like a prat
Go West was far from his best performance either.
They only showed him singing Dancing Queen in the audition though....

What would have happened if that was all he had sung - and not the cheesy opera part? Would there have been 4 yes's? Would he have got through?

But it's been said viewers got 10 minutes each after the winners song had been sung.

Afternoon Rats, how are we all today?

I've read the Sun's load of rubbish this morning about Rhyd this morning and will be composing an e-mail to them very soon.

I'd love to know where they got this ''information'' from as Rhyd hasn't been giving interviews, but I can't expect too much of them, they can't even get a simple easy to check fact right such as his age.

Hey folks. A load of drama on here today then (as usual).

If there were 10 minutes after Leon's performance, and 10 minutes after Rhydian's performance that means that there were 20 minutes after Leon's performance to vote. I know that after Rhydian's performance I couldn't get through at all. That extra 10 minutes that Leon had could have allowed a lot of extra votes for Rhydian.

I agree.
How did it go? As I remember the lines closed a VERY short time after Rhydian had sung

How is everyone this afternoon?

What's all this cr*p in the press today about Rhyd shouting "fix".

I don't know whether to believe it or not.

Obviously the phone rigging thing will be upsetting to him, but I wouldn't have thought he was the type of person to talk to the press about it.

Also I think people are reading too much into him not going to the rap party.

Who knows why he didn't go. He could have just been exhausted, he may not have felt well.

These things are usually one big p*ss up and with him not drinking, he probably thought it would be a nightmare.

Did all the other contestants go? I heard that Simon, Dannii and Sharron were missing.

I'm sorry - there is no way there was 10 mins after Rhyd's song. I remember having the phone in my hand & screaming terrible profanities at poor Dermot when the lines closed. I couldn't believe it.

I voted for Rhydian during Leon's song, but tried again after Rhyd's song and couldn't get through.
