  • Love Rhydian but not very keen on the song. Just to answer some of the critics he has just brought out his fourth album and he has had excellent reviews for his appearances in We Will Rock You, War of the Worlds and his guest appearances in Grease. Next concert is in Newport on 2 March 2012 which I am really looking forward to.

  • RHYDIAN DID IS BEST AT SINGING THIS SONG!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH RHYDIAN I LOVE YOU XXXX

  • leon jackson he was good but where is his career oh wait he doesnt have on rhydian has a career in the theatre he is in a musical called "we will rock you" and he is currently in Edinburgh

  • I love this song and I love Rhydian's performance of it. Very emotional, speaks to what one has to do to be successful; BELIEVE you can be and you will be. I give you all the great stars as examples.

  • what a voice bring bk simon and sharon

  • I NEVER get goes bumps when I listen to any music, but he just changed that! I forgot how good a singer he is!

  • Ah rhydian best contestant never to win X Factor! when i look at the final 3 this year i see a really even group of very good singers but no one even comes close to the standard Rhydian set that year even with some of the ridiculous song choices!! so glad he is still going strong and branching out into different types of genre, long may it continue

  • @hartebreaker84

    seems like michael buble himself thinks leon can sing since he has done multiple perfomances together with him...

  • wow I love this guy

  • Rhydian better. would of preferred his version alot more. and to everyone saying leon was better. one question. were is leon now? last time i heard he was the X-Factors 2nd biggest flop!

  • Leon sings it much better!

  • @mednar2002 I heard leon is working in kfc now XD

  • @PrincessxxScene leon is amazing!! now go nd suck chiken balls!!!!!

  • @MsPxxxx pfttt shitty insult love , I said its what i heard , and if leon is so amazing where is he now ?? and howcome have we heard more oh rhydian then him ANSWER THAT

  • @MsPxxxx

    Leon is the worst winner ever. Should have gone 1st week with his bad perfomance.

    This song didn't really suit Rhydians voice. Its obvious Simon chose it as it was originally done by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston ( a duet) and he had Same Difference in his catergory.

  • As I see it - there is two types of artists. Those that want to tells us a story with their talent and those that want to make money. And the voice of Rhydian is magnificent, he is ranking high in my male Singers list with Michael Ball, Colm Wilkinson, and Michael Crawford.

  • he sounds like a sheep :/

  • Never tire of this. Ah, Rhydian, you could show the contestants this year a thing a two! xxx

  • It's such a shame he didn't win. It's a good song yes, but it was clearly better suited for Leon. Good to see he's still going

  • epic song choice.. im tired of lady gagas and other comercial shits they put in nowdays.. rite?

  • @BrutalBloodDoctor I think it was coz he was a cryer, if he didnt cry all the time he wudnt of won

  • I LOVE YOU X RHYDIAN X PAULINEX

  • you have to nderstand Rhydian to like him, in my opinion i think he's amazing! Just look where he is now, and wheres Leon? dropped from his label.

  • People people stop fighting & argueing over different things such as Leon & Rhydian. It was just the results on the X-Factor of 2007. Results dont lie about who the winner is folks please its just a Talent Sho Competition. Leon was like a disco guy & Rhydian was an opera so both of them were good in my opinion sop please as I said to the others guys be friends not enermies.

  • Amazing voice!

  • Rhydian seems to be able to sing any song and make it sound like it was written specially for him. who cares who won some competition; once Rhydian's voice reached the public he was going to make it big anyway!

  • Rhydian my love, I would have your babies. LOL. Good job on that "prince of egypt" song.

  • funny thing is, this song was tailo-made to suit Leon's voice... and Rhydian still sang it better

  • Leons singing style fitted that song better but I think Rhyd is a better singer by a long way. :) he should of won.

  • leon was fucking amazing! he can not sing this song! you cant compare these 2 because they are to completly different singers! hes an opra singer, leons not! leon was a deserved winner he sang this song better! so fucking what ClitMaster if hes singing to student in glasgow, atleast hes doing something he loves!!

    stop hating on people you dont know, @leon_jackson is an amazing singer&who ever dropped him should be shot!

  • Leon was better???

    Yeah right. That's why this guy is on his third album and Leon Jackson is playing to students in Glasgow. Useless scottish druggie

  • Leon was better.

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR SINING RHYDIAN LOVELY VOICE!!!!!!P

  • Before you make remakrs on singing. Do like i always do scroll down and don´t look at the performance just listen. It´s always a matter of taste.

  • @lundholmproduction I LOVE RHYDIAN VOICE!!!!! SO WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?

  • He has tuning problems... :S

  • @MrArratoon A little more than mediocre u say? Get a fuckin hearing aid.

  • he was the best singer that has ever been on the x factor, and now, a few years on, people have forgotten about him :'(

  • @The Jessie bbz Rhydian has not been forgotten; his career is blooming with the third album coming out in a month time and this time it's going to be pop music!

  • @TheJessiebbz

    No they haven't!

  • @HeatherRuthDiane he's amazing <3

  • for me leon jackson's voice is more dynamic and stunning .. while rhydian is more of dragging his voice and correct me if i'm wrong sometimes hes flat..

  • @JetJockDude he should go into stage shows really (theatre)

  • leon was lame, he was trying to be britains answer to michael buble....sorry leon you'd actually have to be able to sing first

  • Does anyone actually believe Leon sang this song with move passion and deepness than Rhyd? Get you ears and eyes tested!!!!

  • <3 I still think he's cute paha!

  • Leon and Rhyd both of good singers, If I was judge or audience, I couldn't make a choice.

  • Leon sang it much better, with feeling and very deep voice..

  • Rhyd should have won. I would have loved to see Leon sing "get the party started" what a laugh that would have been,Leon not in the same class.

    Look where they are now - Leon's career over, Rhydian just starting !!

  • they proper stitched him up wi this song... best singer from x factor along with leona and JLS

  • two questions,

    is he gay?

    is he famous?

    i like it,

    but his go west performing no

  • @meatsPuebla he's alien .

  • i wanted rhydian to win! i loved him!

  • rhydian fucked up this song.

  • nice voice, (nice abs) but still, his high notes are like in a brink, you don't know if he'll fail or not.

  • @zevenech he was nervous it was the final and his last performance what do you except him to do?

  • Leon was better.

  • @IMJUSTHATONEGUY On this song perhaps, but there's no doubt that Rhydian has done much better since then, 2 albums (and a third planned) compared to Leons 1 album

  • it's ok but i think leon is better :)

  • @migmig305 leon sucks thats why rhydian is releasing his 3rd album where as leon is working back in the cloths store he was at before x factor...

  • @xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx I mean about voice, the voice of Leon seems to get better :)

  • @migmig305 his voice isnt much use now is it?

  • @migmig305 yes, leon will get his vengeance. no one can put a good talent down.

  • @xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx you are a very hateful person. wonder where that hate of you comes from, but it will bounce back to you...

  • Leon, Rhydian...on this song they were both stunning. I prefer Rhydian, his rendition gave me (and still give me) goosebumps.

    But, at the end of the day, it's only a matter of opinions.

  • This guy's an accomplished singer! Just great!

  • brilliant. really liked him. What is he up to now

  • @50cheeseman hes bringing out his 3rd album this year

  • I saw rhydian on tour, the i met him sfter. He is one of the nicests guys ever, he soooooo should have won!

  • Rhydian's voice is better but in Leon's, I see more emotions

  • how could anyone not like this

  • the guy is so amazing that he makes us meditate into the song while he sing it... so true winner of x-factor , Fuck that .. winner of pop music in globe :)

  • It is very beautiful. Just Gabriele can good sleep. I have just a beautiful dream. Good night.

    Thank you my Bob.

  • Leon didnt even bloody materialize such a waste of time he was...

  • @PhoenixSingh lets hope so... a single out first in febuary 80's retro song i believe

  • sh@t m

  • he should of won not leon j

  • @dziobas7 fraid not, u wrong, this guy try to hard. This dont sound like sumthing that wud go on the radio. ima just sayin :)

  • I just love listening to him sing!

  • ahh seeing him tomorrow in war of the worldssss the only reason im excited is so i can see him! <3

  • @PeriiBunny0x i went on the wednesday, fab performance

  • the contest was so fake, any person with the tiniest portion of music knowledge knows that Rydian should have won, Leon is good, but Rydian is just better and that's a fact, where's Leon now? Nobody knows, Rydian is still...fairly popular, so answer this, who deserved to win?

  • Leon was much better at this song, and in my opinion is the better sing out of any X Factor contestant and shouldn't of been dropped. Big mistake on Syco

  • @emmmm3100 You think Leon is the best singer of any X Factor contestant? Have you considered comedy as a career?

  • @BluebirdintheSky no, have you? Everybody is allowed an opinion mate, or are you gunna slate me for saying that aswell?

  • @BluebirdintheSky leon who? yea exactly

  • @emmmm3100 uhhuh your allowed an opiniun sure but plz leon was mediocre at best while Rhydian is Awesome and the fact that sony never hired Rhydian big mistake on gtheir part and thats the truth

  • i reckon it was this song that got in the way of him winning- it was more suited to leon

  • There's no comparing him to Leon really. Rhydian is in a class of his own.

  • Rhydian just was good enough on the night. I voted for him all the way through the competion but when leon sang When I believe it was just amazing.

  • great performance.....thanks for sharing!

  • Wow! Rhydian has an awesome voice! Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance and thank you to my friend molly1481 for sending it to me.

  • Well, he's still going strong! Love you Rhyd!

  • @dziobas7 MUCH better I didn't see xfactor that season just watches some clips and that leon guy was not as good by a long shot

  • I really hope Rydian and Leon are both successful still today....

  • @ChristopherYOLO leon isnt 

  • @OTHsmallvillefan why do you say that????

  • @SneakyNinjaTyler - I agree that this song suited Leon's voice better.

    And although Rhydian might be the more technically proficient singer, I prefer the tone and timbre of Leon's voice.

    I'm sorry, I can't (help it), don't hate me!

  • hes good but the son suited leon more :P he has a different approach and style of music i guess

  • This song deserves a #1 position in Billboard hot 100 of all times !!!!

  • he does make the song his own, unlike leon

  • @sarahharvey15  I agree he sings it so much better. :)

  • he looks scary

  • Wow. I didn't see all contestants but he is amazing.

  • path

  • So disapointed with the people running this place. WMG need to die!!!!!!!!

  • imádom..........

  • he didn't win because he didn't CRYY

  • @tibuflavius ha ha! could be...

  • Leon is way way way better. Rhydian is good but he should sing in a church group or become a weeding singer.

  • @cuban865 I don't agree, Leon shouldn't have won. Unfortunately his career has been a flop, a nice guy but not a real talent, Rhydian on the other hand has sold millions of albums. I saw him in concert 2 years ago and he was amazing!

  • Its funny that whoever wins x factor is usually hated and everybody on youtube says the other finalist should have won. The year Shane won it should have been Andy, Instead of Lenoa it should have been Ben, instead of Leon rhydan, Instead of Alex it should have been JLS, instead of joe it should have been olly.

  • @alexnzxVersion2 leona was better than ray. joe deserved to win, but olly is doing way better now so he should've won.

  • @DshankumMusic I know but a lot of people liked Ben Mills more than Leona Lewis that year, ben finished 3rd. Joe will be big around christmas like most x factor winners do.

  • @alexnzxVersion2 i liked both of them i did and i think joe will be around for a while as well

  • @DshankumMusic true, but sometimes it's better to come 2nd or 3rd. because you still get signed, but get to choose what you want to do. most of them who comes 1st get told what to do.

  • the true winner :)

  • he didnt sell records that much. in fact its so few- he didnt even made it to Top 40.

  • @przemek1204 Wrong. His debut album entered the charts at number 3 and is the 29th biggest-selling album of 2008 in the UK having sold 90,000 in it's first week of release. I remember rushing to buy it the day it was released, it's a fantastic album. O Fortuna is brilliant too.

  • Amazing young man, - just perfectiion. Looks beautiful, sounds divine. Yes, he should have won that contest.

  • Why good singers always have something to point out about their looks. Why this one has white hair for example?

  • I didn't really like the performance. His voice could be stronger and vibrato could be more tastefully done. :)

  • i can tell that hes very nervous...LEON is way betterrrrrr than this guy...lol

  • although rhydian may technically be better vocally in this song i still think that leon jacksons version just completely beats this one. you can hear leons emotion and passion in it unlike this.

  • rating throught hole competition i give credit to rhydian but that song leon sang better

  • he is so beautiful

  • I'LL GIVE IT 2 OUT OFF 5

  • great voice...although it reminds me of a sheep.

  • @Oceanic180 sometimes, he sings with a bit too much vibrato

  • Belíssima voz e a melhor interpretação desta música.

  • what a talent !!!

  • look, can anyone see leon jackson selling records nowadays? he's a nobody.

    i wish Rhydian had won!

  • Hey there Rhydian fans. Catch Rhydian playing Parson Nathaniel in The War of the Worlds Musical, the Jeff Wayne version live on stage! To celebrate the launch of the play why not check out the Official competition page where you can win some excellent prizes and even meet the Cast (That means Rhydian himself!)

    Check out our Facebook Competition page for terms and conditions and rules of entry! Just Facebook search "The Martians Have Landed" and get started! Good Luck!

  • leon jackson sings it better.

  • incredible so perfect like opera =)

  • he looks like an elfin

  • He should of won the x factor! Leon never compares to this amazing man!

  • Bleached haired gorgeous! What talent and sexiness!!!

  • Bleached haired creep

  • I never miss voting for this guy! He may have lost in the finals, but i never regretted it. He is indeed very good! I've got his albums.

  • When did Benjamin Button start singing?

  • man, thats like elvis good

  • AMAZING

  • Beautiful and brilliant.

    Love you Rhydian, your albums are great too!

  • I believe in miracles, ive had a few happen in my life, yet none as wonderful as you ♥ somehow im going to give it all back to you one day, I promise ill find a way ♥

  • I think leon had the better voice for this song. rhydian's voice isn't for these type of songs.

  • he is good but leon version i the best

  • @masterclef14 All very personal. master ! Leon was OK, Rhydian is world class. I am in Belgium and people here have never heard of Leon, but they know Rhydian !

  • Comment removed

  • why the fck did rhydian not win!? Leon was crap AND he got dropped by his label. Just goes to show that the act who comes 2nd always does better than the winner (exception being in 2006 when leona won)

  • Rhydian has been announced as one of the stars in the musical adaptation of the War of the Worlds. The former X Factor finalist will join Jason Donovan and Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon in the show, composed and produced by Jeff Wayne. Tickets are on sale now, but going fast.

    Check it out!

  • Comment removed

  • Who had the better version of the final song???

    I would say both were great but I think it suits Leon more.

  • Both Rhydain & Leon have amazing voices.

    This is when X Factor was great, having different styles of singers go head to head.

    Rhydian is the best selling artist to come from any of the shows.

    Leon lost his contract (with Sony I think) but is in mid delvelopment of his comeback album.

    But I must admit that I was shocked that Leon won.

  • Though I think Rhydian sang this song better, more pleasing to me, and I much preferred his voice overall (though Leon also gave some fine performances), I think the song suited Leon's story better and he performed it better, something to do with his humble background? I don't know.

    Rhydian's voice fits the gospel styling of the song.

  • rhydian should have won! Leon didn't deserve to win and Rhydian sings with compassion and puts everything he has into his performances he always gives it 110%!

  • I think based on their final performance it is clear to see how Leon won as Rhydian's opera style voice didn't suit this song, but overall i do think that rhydian was better as his style of songs and voice is not always listened to as it's all pop and R&B,, loved them both i must say,, some of rhydians songs were jst mesmerizing x

  • The X-Factor is a show to find that mysterious factor that makes a performer, isn't it? It's not just a singing competition ... if it were just a singing contest, Rhydian would definitely have won! His singing is wonderful! But, er, I like Leon's version of this song better. It was more sincere ^^

  • i still cant believe leon won. he was shit and was in the bottom 2 loads. Well at least rhydian didnt lose his record contract like leon

  • The unfortunate truth is Leon won.

    Rhydian was definiatally the better singer as recent events show. Leon fans obviously voted a lot more then rhydian fans

    Im surprised he won if im honest - he was in the final 2 enough times to be in the firing line

  • My favourite singer from The X Factor.

  • I think that Rhydian came 2nd because he didnt have any real heart in his voice, he was all vocal but no emotion. Leon had heart and a voice, that and he could hit that high note on when you believe. Thats why Leon won X factor, nonetheless Rhydian is definitely doing better then Leon,weird eh?

  • @dtvhr leon's version definitely has more emotion and feeling

  • Agreed....I think the final song was picked with Niki and Leon in mind, I have to admit i would have loved to hear same difference sing this song...It'd be a great laugh.

  • @dtvhr i think we must be watching 2 different people, Rhydian has no real heart in his voice and no emotion? I think he sings with pure emotion.

  • @28PaulS Hey thats just my opinion, I dont think that there is any real emotion in this performance, it seems almost recorded. Note I said almost

  • Why are people marking down the comment 'He sang it better than Leon Jackson did' ? If you're a Leon fan, why are you watching a Rhydian video and slating him?

  • I can't make sence of this comment ?

    Surely saying that He sang it better than Leon is good thing ? I dont see how this comment is "Slating" him ?

  • @Berwick33

    what I meant was that the comment 'He sand it better than Leon did' was being marked down, I wasn't saying the comment was slating him, I was saying that it being marked down was slating him

  • i think you have a great voise and he could go some where with it

    but he didnt sing better then leon is this song :/

  • i think they have different styles both did it well

  • Why didn't the 14 year old girls that voted Leon Jackson through week in week out buy his album,they let him get dropped.

    Rhydian is the best male singer ever on the x factor,probably followed by Joe Mcelderry.Rhydian deserved to win,he, Nikki and Same Difference should have been the final 3 that year.

  • When the euphoria and hype dies away after a few months, only the voice is left. That's why he's a great singer and deserves all the success in the world. Quite simply, he has the voice. And that's what sells records!

  • Yo it's like he's trying to cross over from opera to pop and it doesn't work for me, His voice tremors a lot and I think Leon's interpretation was better.
