  • meatloafs is better but he can sing.....meat just adds that extra something

  • dick head.

  • Thanks God we got Meat Loaf. Sorry to say, but this guy can maybe sing, but he dont have the same feelings for the song.

  • I went to the 100 best singers of all time list.....he was at #2.....Id never heard of him....so I went and looked. The guy has a voice, but how can his name even be mentioned in the same chapter, never mind the same sentence as someone like Freddie Mercury? What a joke !!

  • Not only a Fantastic Voice but a Brilliant & Expressive interpreter of Song Lyrics...

    Rhydian is now Staring in the "Musical" Stage Version of the Movie "War Of The Worlds" playing in the West End of London..

    The West End is London's version of America's New City's Broadway....

    30 years from now I have no doubt Rhydian will have had the greatest career of any of the XFactor Show's Competitors including all the Winners....

  • @Clof1959, thank you for sharing this nice voice

  • Fantastic song Brillent singer

    Thanks Bob for sharing

  • FANTASTIC VOICE

    Rhydian is a brilliant talent with an amazing exspressive voice.

    Why he is not known Worldwide heaven only knows.

    Thank you very much.

    I enjoyed the video ƸӜƷ

  • I HAVE HEARD RHYDIAN SING AND HE IS AMAZING HE WILL BE GOING TO BROADWAY ...HE WAS WAY TO GOOD FOR THIS PROGRAM TOOOO !

  • my favourite song from his first album.

  • The Riddler can sing he's got a Great voice, he didn't win because he was different . Too Good for the show, and the judges wanted a nobody they could mould. All the Best luck in your future Rhydian.

    JLS never won and there was no way one direction are better than JLS!!. There was only one way for one direction, OUT.

  • The main reason he didn't win was because there were no tears after every song, no sob story...

  • This vs. One Direction...

  • Rhydian Is the best singer that's ever been on X Factor. He was the true winner not Leon Jackson. Matt Cardle is a good singer and so are the 2 girls

  • Rydian Roberts legend legend loved him 1000% and this coming from a heavy metal fan and rock not this crying crap on big brother and x factor

  • Easily the most memorable person ever to be on the X-Factor.

  • He Holds that note at 3:31 for 12.5 seconds

  • @Meatloaforever Rhydian is amazing and that note is incredible.

  • This...comes VERY VERY close to Meat Loaf's version. I wasn't too sure about it at first...until 3:31 0.0 THAT. IS. LEGENDARY 0.0 AMAZING rendition of an already amazing song :D

  • WOW!!! It's as good as Meat Loaf's version.

  • @Rhstoned Better, I'd say!

  • my mum JMW gets cremated today this will be playing for her as she enters the crematorium. RIP mum 1935-2010 will love you forever xxxx

  • This is my mums favourite song and version, I wasn't convinced until I saw Rhydian in concert with her. He was absolutely amazing. Before you critisize, go and see him first.

  • oh please he has a horrible voice I wish I didnt google a dry eye in the house

  • @ILUVHPLOADS101 dude, i think you need to see a ear doctor or maybe you just dont understnad this music, and if you don't, dont comment and say stupid things like "he has a horrible voice" -_- because seriously you just made yourself look like an idiot in so many ways

  • @ILUVHPLOADS101 get a life.

  • actually really good nice upload mate

  • A very good singer but good I don't like his style. Too operaish.

  • @Totorocatbus That might be because he's an opera singer first - go research the training and awards he's won before he entered X-factor.

  • has super harmonics and superb interpretation, fantastic :)))))

  • LOVE MEATLOAF AND RHYDIAN DOES A BRILLIANT COVER AND DOES THE SONG JUSTICE (OBVIOUSLY I LOVE THE ORIGINAL) :D THANKS FOR PUTTING IT ON :D

  • I have been linstening to this sonb by Meat Loaf and by Rhydian and I have to say wow I never realised what a brill cover Rhydian did.

    Also everyone are entilted to their opinions and mine is Meat Loaf is a brilliant singer and Rhydian does a brilliant cover of such amazing song

  • wow the more i hear you sing no matter what you sing you are better and better each time may we hear more of you more more

  • I love Rhyd's rendition of this fantastic song, but I love Meat's too, I love them both, they're both fantastic, and I love that they're both slightly different [=

  • Personally, i think Rhydian has an amazing voice. perhaps his voice isn't quite suitable for this particular song but the art of music is to perform a piece that means something personally. x

  • Why is selfconfidence so often called arrogance????

    He's a schooled singer with proven competence.

  • alright yeah he has a good voice, but not for songs like this,. he'd make a good opera singer, but not a rock singer sorry.

    Meat FTW

  • I don't think he's trying to be a rock singer to be honest. I think he's trying to do a song that he enjoys in his own style.

  • @FilmRangers fair enough he's trying his own style, but his style doesnt suit this song that well

  • I like his version if I'm honest, however I heard his version before Meat Loafs so I can't say I can really comment, I just like the song and the singer.

    I do understand what you mean though ^^

  • @Jordyiscute i think he's to high to sing this song and meat has a kind of natural vibrato to his voice that he is missing but its still a good cover in all respects

  • I don't think Rhydian is trying to be a rock singer tbh. He sings in his own style which is distinctive and unique.

    Both Meatloaf and Jim Steinman loved Rhyd's version which was his own take on the song. :)

  • I agree with the saying that covers should not be compared to the original but to other covers instead. I like Meatloaf but I much prefer this version. I love Rhydian's rich baritone voice and the long note he held from 3:31 to 3:43, that was very original in my opinion.

    @dennisthenobodies - I have heard he's one of the nicest guys out there. I believe XFactor made a villain out of him trying to make the show more interesting. But in real life, he's very nice.

  • This is a great song; I can completely appreciate why someone would want to do a cover of it.

    What I can't understand is the purpose of producing a cover that brings absolutely nothing original, and serves as nothing but a (slightly inferior) carbon copy of the original piece.

    Meatloaf did plenty of covers himself; usually of work Steinman had produced for other people, but they were always produced to sound like original work.

    This is nothing but a poor Meatloaf impression.

  • I saw this guy on TV on X Factor, or whatever show it was that he was a part of, and there is no doubt that he is a great singer. It is just his whole attitude, which doesn't effect his singing any, he is just so arrogant. It is safe to say he aint on my Christmas card list, if you know what I'm saying, peace, out.

  • you r one of the best singers i heard so talented

  • I also prefer meatloaf's version

  • Wow..... Just an INCREDIBLE voice. And very nice lyrics too.

  • My whole body just had major goosebumps! My God - it's been a long time since any singer has done that I tell ya! He is outstanding. Showman or not - he can sure sing.....♥ I never would have thought that a Meatloaf song would be something that Ryd would sing....but WHOA!!!

  • ruined it , meatloafs better

  • the real winner of x factor.better voice.not to be rude to leon(he has a perfect voice),but rhyd's btr

  • you see boys he comes from Wales, say no more, Cymru am Byth

  • amazing this guy does have some vocal should have won the x factor got 2nd album out now n where is the supposed winner of the show rollin on the river lol

  • Listen  3:31

  • lol !

  • damn he sounds just like meat pretty damn good it hard to mach the master loaf

  • Fantastic version - I love it!

  • meatloaf is much better .. More feeling

  • This is a decent version.

  • 3:31 - 3:44 JESUS CHRIST!!

  • Absoulutely Fantastic Robby.

    Thank you so much for sending this Version by Rhydian.

    His Voice is truly incredible just like you said.

    I think I've got a new favorite Male Singer. I'm almost speechless he's so good.

    Parker

  • 5************************

  • thank you Robby for sharing very very very beautiful song 1000000* became favor just amazing

  • Dude?! I dig Meat Loaf's music too! But to say this guy can't sing? That's just wrong...

  • its just an opinion ffs

  • Yhea, i know. And my opinion is that your opinion sucks.

  • Perhaps he likes this song and wanted to give this a try? When Meat Load and Marion made a cover of "It's all coming back to me" from the original from Celine Dion, did they steal her work? So what you basically saying is that everybody that wants to make their own cover are thieves?

  • Note it is Meat Loaf! (In case dick head here make a scene feels to complain about my english skills..)

  • @M347l04f

    While I do prefer Meat Loaf's version, if you check the credits in the album liners you'll notice that he didn't write his own songs, either.

    Of course, neither did Elvis, Johnny Cash, or many of the other big names.

    When I heard the intro I thought he was just going to be a pathetic wannabe, but once he got started I must say he was impressive. Meat Loaf did it better, but I definitely need to find more of this guy.

  • WANKER..no wait...DEAF WANKER !!

  • if i am a deaf wanker than HOW CAN I HEAR

  • If you think this guy can't sing, then obviously you CAN'T hear..the reason being..you've wanked so much it sent you deaf.. therefore you became a ..DEAF WANKER .

  • @midnighttilldawn Ha Ha HA ! NORTY midnighttildawn, but HA HA HA! ROFL!

  • Thank you Robby for sharing this beautiful song with me. I liked the verse.

  • When Meatloaf himself calls and praises you're "Cover" of his Song then I believe that should be "Enough Said".

    I agree with Meatloaf in that Rhydian's Version (Cover) is the Best "Cover" Performance of this Song ever outside of the Original Meatloaf Version. I've learned to never compare with the Original but to rate the Quality of the Version by the Performer that respected the Original Artist so much to Cover that artist's Song. This is the highest form of Flattery you can give any Artist.

  • Excellent!!

    Thanks 1RomanticSoul!

    Greetings

  • Fantastic!

  • Who are you to tell what is right or wrong dopey Dolly.He is the only one with class.His performance and singing is unique not a copy cat like others. HAIL RHYDIAN!

  • you're a bit nasty aren't you?

    there must be a stick up your arse aswell as sand in your vag.

    isn't that uncomfortable?

  • i am only nasty cuase you were nasty to me 1st and i am allowed to have my opinion and i like meat loaf cause of his music so don't comment me saying stuff that not true

  • you were being nasty to some people without any provocation.

    people have different tastes to you that doesn't mean they are wrong! it's just personal prefference.

    now gtfo (Y)

  • Dolly..

    Meatloaf himself called Rhydian and congratulated him on a "Brilliant performance", Meatloafs words not mine.

    It's amazing how people that truly do have talent themselves CAN recognize in someone else.

    It's only the Fans that never CAN or won't admit it.

    This is a fantastic Version of Meat Loaf's hit and I am a big Meatloaf Fan.

    Robby

  • I find it funny that this guy/girl is such a passionate MeatLoaf fanyet her channel is named for Dolly Parotn and personally 1RomanticSoul I agree with you

  • what ever comes to mind what is with you being nasty to me for i ain't done nothing wrong only write my comment which i think i am allowed to do so

  • I'm not the nasty one with me its called cruel irony, ive not insulted

  • wow do you like have sand in your vagina or something?

  • what ever twat head i am allowed to say my comment with out twats heads like u reply stuff like that stuiped dumb twat meat loaf is the best his song is the best this is just shit got it twat face,

  • twat head? ahahah what a shit insult come up with something better.

    i'm not likely to listen to someone that can't even spell stupid properly.

    and yes i'm well aware that meat loaf's version is alot better.

    and this is shit.

    stop getting all arsey!

    get that sand out your vagina and eat some more pie.

    You probs only like meat loaf cuz its sounds like food anyways,

    OMNOMNOM

  • he is so VERSATILEEEEEEEEE love him

  • One Word...."INCREDIBLE"

    Cover Version of the old "Meatloaf" huge hit.....No one has done a performance of this Song as well as Rhydian since Meatloaf...You know it's fantastic when Meatloaf compliments Rhydian as well....Bob

  • @Clof1959 Thanks for the video :-)

  • Comment removed

  • this is one of me favourite songs.... can't wait for the concert on the 26th... row C whoo.

  • Rhydian sings this on his current Impossible dream tour, His vocals are incredible live. Plenty of video's of the tour are here on You tube.

  • I saw him last night in Cardiff and still Amazed how talented he was. There is no doubt he is a Superstar. This was as good live as on on the album,

  • me too! this is my most favourite song from the album :) i'm addicted yay! :)

  • I bought this album earlier this year ,and I so pleased I did , I love this song,

  • still love this song :)

  • Brilliant cover of Meatloaf's hit.

  • the best song ive heard rhydian sing

  • I can't get enough of this song and this version

    He's made me addicted to it it's that good!

  • Gotta give it to him

    Outstanding version. ;)

  • gr8 song

  • insaneWW2freak.....

    Most people if they really liked the original will always favorite that Version...It's what we all are use to hearing and what will all will compare any other Performer's "COVER" version to as the standard...

    But Saying That, I've never ever heard a Better "Cover Version" of Meatloaf's original hit then Rhydian's Version here... and like I said in my Comments even Meatloaf would be proud of Rhydian's Cover Version...

    It's absolutely fantastic...

    Bob, Palm Springs, Ca.USA

  • You've said it all!

    This version is incredible!

  • Terrific "Cover" of the Meatloaf hit....I'm sure even Meatloaf would be proud of Rhydian's performance.....This is terrific....Bob, Palm Springs, Ca. USA

  • I'm addicted to this song!

  • Meat Loafs wil always be my favourite version but Rydian will go on to be a huge success in music i hope cause his voice is strong and if he keeps working with Steinman he will get his full potential out of Rydian :)

  • great song from a great c d.Not many tickets left for Rhydians concert tour

  • excellent, not many people can pull it off this good.

  • couldnt agree more =]

  • yeah i agree too nothing beats meatloaf.

    it IS an amazingly sung song, just not a match for meatloafs version, though thats just my personal opinion. They are incredible in different ways

  • oh Rhydian, you know how we feel!!!! tapps into our emotions because we are unable or unwilling to express this kind of pain Annie w x

  • Omg! i Fogot rhydian done a cover of this, love this song when meatloaf sang it, but i like it even more now! hehe, cnt wait to see him in venue cymru! gonna b awsome!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I'm addicted to this :D

  • Rhydian really should have won, it's a joke that he didn't, if he was pissed off, then I don;t blame him.

  • I've been a Meatloaf fan all my life and when he first released this song I swore NOBODY would ever do a cover that came close.... until I heard Rhydian's cover. The reason I like Rhydian's is that he hasn't changed the way the song should be sung, and he's not tried to "make it his own", he's just sang a bloody good song very well - and after all, Jim Steinman contacted Rhydian after seeing him do "I'd do anything" on the X Factor so they must've liked what they heard! BUT... Meat IS a legend!

  • I dont know why but for some reason his voice reminds of Meat Loaf

  • Love this! Possibly my favourite on the album!

  • I love the way he sings 'house' and 'down' beautiful :D

  • If you listen carefully to Meat Loaf's version, he does the same. But it's a bit quieter :P

  • Meat's is a bit different, but I love both versions :)

  • Aye. It's a great song, performed by two fantastic singers.

  • Couldn't agree more :)

  • this is good, but his voice doesn't have the same power as meatloaf

  • AMAZING!!! Fantastic performer. I love Rhydian, he is so grounded(please god, hope he stays that way)...and VERY SEXY!! WOW, what voice to match his body. Listen in close at..... 3.31..Mooorrreee. Tingles throughout..Mwah xxx

    Rwy'n dy garu di!!!

  • He has to release this. The vocals in this are amazing. This is one of the few covers were the cover version is as good as the original.

  • The only thing I don't like about Meat Loaf... it's his stage name: Meat Loaf, heh!

    I've found Meat Loaf here in Youtube nearly at the end of 2008, thanks to his cover of Celine's "It's all coming back to me".

    And today I've found Rhydian and Leon in Youtube, while looking at Leona's videos.

    And I loved them all! Meat Loaf, Rhydian, Leon. They are all great, they are all different styles, can't compare.

    It's like comparing Andrea Bocelli and Mick Jagger...

  • what the hell..."his cover of celine's "its all coming back to me now"" he did the original you muppet,

    it was composed as a duo by jim steinman specifically for meatloaf and whoever he decided to do it with. celine covered his

    but yeh no worry you probably just heard celine dions version first xD

  • lol as you can clearly see, I've discovered meat Loaf recently, so I don't know much about him and many videos with his songs said "his cover of Celine Dion"...

  • its sort of a kinda sorta thing...Celine did indeed record it first because Meat's old label in the 80's didn't want to pay for Steinman's song even though he wrote it for Meat Loaf. So it went to Celine instead. Meat finally recoded it for Bat 3.

  • The tone of his voice really reminds me of Josh Groban, with extra vibrato.

    In fact, probably the only negative thing I might say about this is that there's too much vibrato for my tastes (not saying it's bad, just my own tastes.) I will concur with everyone else that it is a very strong performance and, hey, this guy is good at what he does. Enough said.

  • 3:28 "you don't love me no moooooooooorrreee" Amazing voice!!

  • actually, i find this to be very similar to Meatloaf.

  • Me too. his voice, has that certain manly richness.

  • yeah at the start of the song it souded almost the same as the original, I have to say I am becoming more of a fan with the more I hear. Shame he didn't get to sing this on the X factor, would have done better than some of the songs that were chosen for him

  • where is leon then :L lmao.

    gonna be the same with this years x faxtor. diana and jls will do miles better then alexandra

  • diana will get boring after a few singles, already from x factor week 1 to the end soo many people just got fed up of her

    jls will, they rule

    and alexandra will do good, tho she has alot of competition in her genre

  • yeap. think the same as you, i absolutley hated diana, but her version of white flag was ok, yet screechy :S.

    JLS were great.

    and i hate that people compare alex to leona.

    :\

  • I'm also a big Meat fan and I'm not going to get into any pointless 'this version is better/worse blah blah blah' cos it's all about opinions not facts at the end of the day. But one fact can be stated: great that Meat is/was, there's no way on earth he could have done that 14 second mooooooooooooooooorrrrrrreeeee complete with integrated key change, LOL. And we all know that Rhyd will totally nail that live, that's not studio trickery. He's THAT good.

  • I like MeatLoaf, but this version is good too....

  • Comment removed

  • well im sure everyone can agree on one thing: Rhydian smoked Leon's album

  • my God this man is incredible. Sure I prefer Meat Loaf's by a mile but damn this guy is talented. I'm so ticked the album isn't available in the USA...

  • whether u prefer the original or not rhydian as done this song justice.

    this guy as a tremendous voice. SUPERB!!

  • Truer words have never been said!

    "You don't love me no moooooooooooooooooooore!"

    Love it! :D

  • as meatloafs *

  • love this song.

    rhydians version is equally as good thor.
