  • This is when X factor used to be good, Rhydian is my most memorable contestant ever, weird and wonderful!

  • i remember this so clearly. I hated Rhydian with a passion during the audition stages because of the way his pieces had been edited but as soon as he did this performance I was won over and better still, his true personality came out when he was so humble accepting the judges comments. I voted for him the whole series and couldn't believe when he lost out in the final. I'm sure Leon only won because bloody Kylie sang with him.

  • @lyricistgirl same! i truly was stunned by rhydians live performances, i was actually laughin when he first came on stage thinkin 'oh dear, here goes the joke of the competition'. now hes my most favourite x factor contestant of all time. he gives me chills down my spine, its not just his voice, its his stage presence. he is truly an incredibly talented man. why x factor tried to make him look so bad before the live shows i dont know, but it was certainly was a nice surprise :)

  • Best x factor person ever. They'll never find another one like Rhydian.

  • Funny thing is this was actually one of his weaker performances.

    It's still one of the best of X-Factor.

  • What i wouldnt give to meet you! I love this song but when you sing it, wow, the fire and passion you sing with sends shivers down my spine! So very proud to be Welsh! !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kathkan Pleeeeeease come and sing at Miss Wales!!!!!!

  • Rhydian signs to New label:)

    We spoke to Graham Stokes of Conehead. He said: "Signing Rhydian is a major coup for Conehead; plenty of bigger and better-placed labels were trying to get his signature but we were able to convince him of the commitment that a new and exciting label like ourselves could offer and more importantly the complete freedom we would allow him to make the kind of record he wants to make".

    Recording will begin this month for an early 2011 release

  • @RoseAnngie ~ Rhydian's new Album "WAVES" is out Now & It's Incredible !!!

    I have a Track From It Featured On My YT Channel if you want to Check it Out...

    Bob&Robby

  • Quite possibly my favourite ever X Factor contestant.

  • @Tkred1 Definitely mine!

  • Atleast seeing this we know where jedward got their hair style from.....

  • @SneakyNinjaTyler yes we do! X Factor are responsible- it looks more handsome now slicked back and shorter.

  • 3 years on and this is still a fantastic XFactor performance. I'm looking forward to seeing Rhyd in The War Of The Worlds later this year and We Will Rock You next year plus a new album in early 2011 :)

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • This version last 1:51 which is 10:04 shorter than the 11:55 original They should have done the whole 12 minute song it would have been good if they had

  • I love this song so much and Rhydian sang this amazingly!

  • This was a fabulous week 1 XF performance by Rhyd - who was sure that he would be voted off! I saw him sing live this week and his voice is better than ever and his stagecraft is still superb. Check out the videos uploaded this week of Rhyd singing Stars from Les Mis and Bui Doi from Miss Saigon.

  • @spiral741 do you usually watch videos of people you hate?

  • Chayto, try listening to his later songs like Impossible Dream or Music Of The Night. This was only his first X Factor performance.

  • There's strength to his voice. He needs to get the soft singing down, though.

  • another great one.

  • i hate oprah

  • Your clicking on the wrong videos then. It's like me clicking on Miley Cirus videos and ranting about how superficial and crappy it all is.

  • where is loen now he is no he was a one hit wounder and rhydian was the real winner of that  seriouse he is still around

  • How did he not win? and leon did?

    doesnt make sense !!?

  • @Luvz2Spooge94 Because the show is fixed. ^^

  • Ahh i doubt dat !? ppl wer complainin dey couldnt get through..!

  • it's because most voters are women, and they liked Leon more because he was younger and "cuter," so they liked him over Rhydian. It's the same reason that Lloyd stayed in for so long this season. He didn't have the best voice but the ladies liked him.

  • @Luvz2Spooge94 I agree, but at least Rhydian is still going whereas Leon was a one hit wonder. It's obvious who is the true winner :)

  • @Luvz2Spooge94 totally agree! been thinking the same thing since then.

  • He's a very gifted singer. Thank you for sharing this.

  • Rhydian was the highlight of that year, so entertaining. I'd forgotten how much Sharon disliked him til I saw her sour face at the start!

  • Sharon came around to liking him at the end of the series. He's the second greatest talent the X-Factor has produced after Leona.

  • great! great! great!

    but eh mic went away from he's mouth 4 a sec as he was trying to catch a rose!!!

  • This may sound gay

    But iv always found the Wesh accent sexy

  • @CUB873 I agree. And it doesn't sound gay. ^^

  • How on earth did he not win???

  • he shudve won he was awesome throughout but i think leon got a lot of votes in the final cos he sung with kylie

  • There was a big theory at the time that many people voting for rhydian couldnt get through on the phones. I believe it because I couldnt see anyone else that could trully sing in that comp.

  • Without a doubt, he deserves all the love he gets.

  • Thats Welsh For You... Simply The Best!

  • PRACHTiG!!!

  • Rydian is far the best ever singer on x factor

  • I have to agree. I mean sure Leona has the voice, but she's nothing but a sweet girl. Rhydian has that "it" factor, that confidence and air to him that you see in a celebrity.

  • @BulletProof812

    you miss Lucy Jones...She was awesome as well

  • Comment removed

  • Actually Rhydian didnt include this on his album but 'Not a Dry Eye in the House' was there.

  • Another Fantastic performance in a long line of wonderful performances by Rhydian on X-Factor.

    I was happy to see Rhydian include this and "Not A Dry Eye In The House" on his

    1st Album. It was so great that Meatloaf himself called and praised Rhydian on his "Covers" of Meatloaf's big hits.

    That's the sign of a great performer and a person that's secure enough with their own talent that they can recognize and appreciate another performer's talent. Bravo for Meatloaf and for Rhydian.

    Robby

  • would be ok but they havent even got the lyrics right, its "i WOULD do anything for love"

  • i agree it is would not will

  • I love this!

    After all the bullshit, crap and bad press that Rhyd received prior to his first live performance, any lesser would have fallen at the post.

    You showed them all Rhyd what a true performer you are

  • Good..but it'd "I Would Do Anything for love"...but its a great rendition none the less

  • I hope they release his 2nd album over here in the USA!

  • Bravo....Even Meatloaf would have been very proud of that Performance by Rhydian....Rhydian definitely was far and away the Best and most talented Singer in the 2007 X-Factor, It wasn't even close, and should have Won without question....Bob

  • Yes, he is certainly very gifted.

    Thank you, Bob.

  • Cover a ML song takes a talent and very brave. This is great !!!

    Thanks Bob :-)

  • well that is true he has a got the voice and the talent for x factor not like some of them on the show had no talent or voice, and this song is one of Meat Loaf hardest song he ever done so yes in a way he did do really well for what song he was given

  • Any meatloaf song is difficult to sing and Rhydian completely pulled it off. Outstanding performance.

  • leon won, but ryhdian has sold more albums than leon, at least 3 times as many, and leon has now been dropped from his record company... leon should NEVER have won

  • I totally agree! This guy is better, he rocks!

  • has leon been dropped buy his record company??

    :O

    lol :P

  • yeah it was in the paper, the record company manges both acts, and lean has only sold few albums, where as ryhdian's sales are triple what leon's is... so they fucked leon off.... so clearly ryhdian should have won the x factor

  • lol yeah deffinately!!!

  • he was gd man really gd

  • Leon who?, no its all about Rhydian. I ', m going to see hin on May 3rd, I really can't wait.

  • I was there !!! he was amazing!! he sang one of my all time fav songs Reason by Hoobastank.

  • Fantastic performance!After this song i knew whos my favourite contestant is!

  • just brings energy to his performances

  • hessam123

    I must say it is so cool of you to tell the world that you are a faggot.

    Anyway well done and good effort.

    At the end of the day you gotta come clean.

  • 'Will' or 'Would' - who cares??? Rhydian is amazing - pure class!!

  • It has to be "i WOULD do anything for love"

  • I think the meatloaf verson was twice as better

  • awsome im a big meat fan respect to rhydian. he should have won xfactor it was the xfactor screwjob big time.

  • This is awesome but it makes me appreciate the Meat Loaf version much more. Just shows you how hard the song is to sing and Meat Loaf can sing it better and faster.

  • scottishnutjob, are we comparing like with like, though? Don't forget this is totally live. Meat's great and all that but he's not brilliant live. IMO, of course.

  • He's utterly spectacular, actually, thank you very much!

  • I love to come home from school and spend my free time non-stop lsitening to Rhydian :) I absolutely love him :D

  • WOW Rhydian Rocks!!

  • omg he is sexy and hot asnd very good at singing

  • I didn't like him in the auditions because of the way he was edited to sound like a real ass. I was really annoyed when he was in Dannii's final 3 but then I saw him in the first week and started to vote for him and voted all the way through. No way should a talent like this have lost to that twerp who couldn't sing and should have been out in the first round.

  • It's I'D Do Anything For Love...

    I think Meat would be happy with this cover...

    He has a very strong voice and I'd love to see a Meat Loaf cover album... It'd sound fabulous!

  • He sounds so different here to his other songs. I can't put my finger on it- I think it's his accent coming through more.

    Ah, I love the way he sings 'through'. :yes:

  • obviously ur the kinda person to send the Tweenies to no1

  • Rhydian's debut album includes 'Not a Dry Eye in the House' and is brilliant.

  • his voice dosen't suit him but he's good

  • coiscarraig1234

    Well why visit his site then?

    Stop fishing for a bite..

    If you have nothing better to do go play with yourself

  • hang on, Rhydian isn't ugly!

    LOL

  • LOL my friend loves Leon she says Rhydian is ugly, and a freak. And she Denies that she is biased to Eoghan and Leon. She said" Of all colours he dies his hair white! White!?" Lmao she makes me laugh. But it reminds me of Sharron Osbournes horridness towards him. He's not a freak, some people are so ignorant.

  • Im going too see rhydian live in portsmouth in may =D

  • Who is he?

  • I dont know ..The top say's Rhidian The side Related Videos say's Rhidian ..Ya I think unless u tube are lying to us TimeaFarkasova

    Its Rhydian Roberts. easy really was it not.

  • good version, but I still think Meat Loaf's one is unbeatable or at least impossible to improve

  • Rhydian is a first class singer and with any luck he will bring back true power ballards rather than all this RnB, HipHop and Poor Rap nonsense.

    However as much as I wish to see him become the next biggest thing and dominate the charts for the next couple of years he really cannot sing this song for anything, I would pay him just to shut up. he should leave this song to the one true master of it Meatloaf

  • i work with him.

    hes a total professional.best ive worked with

  • lucky! :O

  • He is a mega star.

  • he is amazing...lol...he was amazing on tour too. ya lucky person yhuu met him. he shud have so won...is it true he is a virgin?

  • Im getting A signed Cd off him (:

  • Yep Awsome! he wuz robbed

  • yeah he sure was and its a crime!!

    LOVE RHYD!!!

    His voice is amaing and he is hothothot to!! lol

  • damn he's gorgeous

  • Yes, I am serious. I have met him and he is gorgeous; an amazing smile, stunning blue eyes, fantastic bonestructure and beautiful skin. He also just has something about him.

  • no way..ur keepin me goin...

  • ahhhh u met him!!! i wanna meet him!!!!! hate u...lol...jokes, he is hot!!!

  • Rhyd Should Have Won the phone lines werent working in the final and it seems alot of people couldnt vote, leon is rubbish the worst ever, look at him on this years x factor.

    Im rhyds cousin and he is performing on the 22nd of november 2008 and has been told by simon cowell to out do leons poor performance and im sure he will

    Love from the family!

  • Hey, i found the same problem 2 mob's didn't work or the house phone. leon is rubbish Rhyd is so much better he has the most amazing powerful voice ever(in the whole of time, may i add)!! he sure did out do leons bad performance!! GOOD ON HIM I SAY!!! i will be getting his CD this wk!! eveyone needs to get it so that he gets into the album charts this sunday, we need 2 get him 2 numer 1!! RHYD ALL THE WAY!!!!! ROCK ON RHYD!!

  • There's more meatloaf on the album. Awesome!

  • When his album outsells Leon's like 10-1 we'll all know who the real winner is.... because i can see Rhydian being around in 5 years just like Will Young stuck around.... but Leon next year... be back in his shoe shop.. Unique acts stay, the rest flop

  • hehe, YEAH!!!

  • One year on and I still love to watch this and Rhydian's other performances. Love the way he says "breathing FIRE" and "carved in ICE" in this. Great performance and fantastic vocals. Rhydian has the X Factor!!!

  • Far too long Tibby !!!!!!!!!!! 5 weeks to go. I've pre -ordered mine from Amazon

    Looks like he will be appearing on the X factor on 22nd November.I can't wait.

  • please hurry up for Rhydian's album! I can't hardly wait! It has been tooooooo long!

  • Rhydian roberts is the God of music. This man can sing not like mommy's boy leon.

  • Rhydian didn't win because he is not the run of the mill pop singer. These days they reward mediocrity annd ignore talent. That's why the country is in the mess it is in.

  • rhydian officaly won last year the people that voted didnt register the votes there considering doing it again

  • I have no interest in following this year's show.

  • I really miss Rhydian's first performance on the X-factor. There will be never the same again! Rhydian, the-one-only.

  • i think that he should have one it instead of leon, i dont think leon had as much talent than rhydian

  • he deserved to win not leon

  • He's amazing!

  • fucksakeeee he had a week to learnt this?

    course its not going to be as good as meatloafs. but its scarily close tho=)

    so good=)

    i love him=)

  • Don't forget the media storm that preceeded this performance! It got so bad that there had been websites set up to pledge death to Rhydian!! (if you don't believe me google it!). Rhydian must have been truly terrified before this (debut) performance! Most mere mortals would have completely fluffed it and wanted to hide away. Not this guy, check out THAT look he gives the audience before he starts singing.

    This bloke is not only an amazing (AMAZING) singer, he's one of a kind character-wise.

  • He even got the lyrics wrong - it's "I would do anything for love" ... not "I will!".

  • well Duh! think that may have been noted before and they prob changed it on purpose for some reason

  • i loved this his best performance was definately phantom of the opera though, ive been searching for this one for a while though so thanks for adding it

  • of course he isnt going to be able to sing it as well as Meat loaf but then again, he isnt meatloaf is he, singers do things differently

    he is a fantastically talented young man

    and a very attractive one too

    id love him to come sing for me ;-)

  • I want to marry him!! lol ^_^

  • Rhydian has the perfect voice! His stage presence is magnificent!

  • I agree that Rhydian is a brilliant singer, but he cannot sing this song anywhere near as well as Meat himself. I loved Rhydian's rendition of "Somewhere" from West Side Story though!

  • Caseh91- if he's such a fag why r u watchin his videos. hes bloody brill!

  • hes not. if you dont like dont watch . and dont comment.

  • and so r u!

  • Oh how true HowRoger. Totally agree this was the moment a star was born! First time I have watched this in ages but the first time I saw this I was hooked! Rhyd Rocks!

  • America saw as well!! We may well lose him to Rest Of The World. No one in the History of X Factor has done this! This was the moment a STAR was born!

  • yeah, still love it. Cant believe its so long for his album to come out

  • love his performan this song! Still Fab after many months have gone passed!

  • he is absolutely fantastic. leon was shit cant beleive he won.. funny how we havnt seen anything of him since he one xfactor

  • how much have we seen of leon though

  • this is an amazing song.

    rhydian sang it amazingly! :]

    favourited.

  • Superb! More ROCK, Rhydian....it's good for you!

  • he is absolutely amazing

  • he is FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • His singing is excellent and he acts just like a superstar on stage!

  • thanx joannagee

  • I'd love to have this song, or likewise-emotional, popular love songs to be put in the album. However, Rhydian, pleeeeease enjoy a well-deserved rest in the Easter after hectic schedule of the XF tour. You must be sick & tired of singing 'get party started' nearly everyday in a short period! Bless you! We'll leave you alone. You need to recharge your battery.

    Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing your progress in the next phrase of your career!

  • jp235 I think they changed the lyrics to make the song quicker for him to sing because the first week was very condensed and 12 acts had to perform.

    This was a brilliantly defiant and confident performance by the Rhydler who probably thought he was going to be eliminated because of the way he was portrayed and all the negative press. I love the bit at the end when Sharon is scratching her head in disbelief!!

  • He's an amazing singer AND he plays rugby. Could there be a more perfect guy out there?

  • He's brilliant but he gets the title of the song wrong! It should be "I WOULD do anything for love"!!!

  • legend!!!!!!!!!

  • He will become a world star, bellboys. He has shown us his supremacy in the musical field. And, his impact is beyond music. What he really needs now is a powerful PR machine.

  • The performance that got Jim Steinman's creative juices flowing again...if this bloke doesn't become a World star I'll give up with this music thing.

  • saved the first show

  • Rhydians ROX!!!!!

  • What a fantastic performance!!!

  • That look he gives the audience just before he starts singing is my personal moment of the series. And any idea what emotion Sharon O is feeling when she gives him THAT look as he arrives through the doors? Lust? Hate? Crikey.

  • Awesome. :)

  • Thank you for this video. I watch it on T.V. and though he was just fantastic. So much talent, he is amazing.

  • he got robbed

  • Hurray!! I am SO glad this video is back. He is just Marvellous. The performance that began to change everyone's opinion of him, a wonderful singer and with great stage presence. A Star!!

  • thanks for adding this. it's only a matter of time I guess before fremantle take it down...idiots. Not as if anyones profiting from it. Anyway, Rhydian had me at hello, as it were- or rather at "and I will do..." :) go boy go.

  • I'd love him to do the Bat out of Hell musical that was mentioned in todays papers.
