Rhydian on Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol

[chunaikim3]

Rhydian, very very good.

[graemk]

Rhydian is fabulous in any language.

Being a fan of Hayley Westenra, it's impossible to overlook him & also impossible for the 2 of them not to meet.

Great video....many thanks !!!!

Remarkable how he holds that note in the third carol - spine tingling. Shan Cothi also sings in this - another home grown international talent.

[Clof1959]

Rhydian sounds just as good singing in

Welsh as he does in English....Just Beautiful.....Rhydian is definitely one of the most talented Singers to come along in a long time....We should be enjoying his talent for many, many years to come.......Bob, USA

[Clof1959]

Rhydian is truly a very gifted talent with an incredible voice....If he doesn't become a World renown Star of the Musical Stage then this World does not know talent at all.

He has one of the most dramatic Stage Presences of any performer in a long, long time...just magnificent...

Translation of the Welsh words: When I am lost and none can reach me, My heart growing heavy on an ocean of pain, I come near to that Power which is abiding, That generous Love which takes away all fear. I am raised up to wander straight and tall, I am raised up to roam the shores of Life, I am strong when You are with me For You see all that I cannot. (Refrain repeated) This translation does not do justice to the full majesty of the Welsh words, but I hope it helps!

Diolch nantyreira am y geiriau - bendigedig!

[nantyreira]

Hyd y gwn i, dydy'r geiriau ddim ar gael yn gyhoeddus, o leiaf. Felly dw i wed'u copio nhw i lawr o'r gân Rhydian:

Pan wyf ar goll a neb yn medru 'nghyrraedd,

Ar gefnfor gloes a'm calon yn trymhau

Dynesaf at y grym sydd yn wastadol,

Y cariad rhad sy'n diosg unrhyw ofn.

Dyrchefir fi, i mi gael rhodio'n dalsyth

Dyrchefir fi i grwydro glannau oes

Cryf wyf fi pan rodiaf yn Dy gwmni,

Fe weli di yr hyn na fedra i

Gobeithio y bydd hyn yn helpu pobl sy'n awyddus i'w canu nhw. Pob lwc!

[Alexjhs]

Ardderchog! Seren mawr,calon mawr.

[nantyreira]

'Dynesaf at y grym sydd yn wastadol'.....'Dyrchefir fi i grwydro glannau'r oes...'

Hyfryd ac ysbrydoledig......

Dydy'r isdeitlau Saesnaeg ddim yn gwneud cyfiawnder i ddisgleirdeb y geiriau Cymraeg...

Mae'r cyfieithiad Cymraeg yn well na'r gwreiddiol....

[nonwatcyn]

Beautiful rendition of O Holy Night and You Raise Me Up! The whole programme was superb. :)

[nonwatcyn]

I think I prefer this Welsh version of You Raise Me Up to the XF one even though he's awsome both times. :)

Thanks for this Jed152 - beautiful

[nantyreira]

Absolutely right. I too noticed the slight lack of synchronisation but I can assure you all contributors were singing normally - it was very cold and lots of warming-up of voices was needed. If they'd been miming, these exercises wouldn't have been needed at all.

And even if he had been miming (which he certainly wasn't) there's no need to consider him any less great a performer. By now it's clear to all that his talent and professionalism is quite exceptional.

[nantyreira]

24822130: Sorry but he wasn't miming. I was there.

[lbshard]

Very beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[miffythevampirebat]

Fantasic setting and beautiful singing. happy Christmas!

[adamjones416]

Dyw e ddim yn meimo

24822130, Mae'i lais yn dalent pur pa hawl sy da ti i ddweud yn wahanol, Da iawn ti Rhydian Dalier ati mae'r canu'n wych yn mynd o nerth i nerth ac yn cryfhau'r teimlad o fod yn Gymro Cymraeg i mi. Mor falch ydwyf i, i weld rhywun o Gymru yn neud yn dda yn y byd ac yn cadw'i genedl a'i iaith yn agos at ei galon. Hudolus, Bendigedig . Albwm Gymraeg os gweli di'n dda, Fi byddai'r un gyntaf i brynu gallaf dy sicrhau di :).

[RoseAnngie]

Thank you so much for posting this.

Rhydian goes from strength to strength.

Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year Nadolig Llawen iawn a Blwyddyn Newydd dda.

[24822130]

didn't think rhyd was a mimer but this lis proof,so diappointed in him.was a fan no more crap

[xStar90x]

Wow, some fan you are... Just ditch him because you think he mimed. Well someone above posted they were there and he didn't mime, and even if he did, who cares? He doesn't usually mime, like on GMTV, XF etc where some people have def mimed he chose not to. =/

[amarylliskitty]

Thanks for posting this JED! What a fantastic program. What a beautiful voice.
