The X Factor is a television music talent show franchise originating in the United Kingdom, where it was devised as a replacement for the massively successful Pop Idol. The competitions, now held in various countries, are contested by aspiring pop singers drawn from public auditions. The "X Factor" of the title refers to the undefinable "something" that makes for star quality. The prize is usually a recording contract (in addition to the publicity that appearance in the later stages of the show itself generates, not only for the winner but also for other highly ranked contestants).

The show is primarily concerned with identifying singing talent, though appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines are also an important element of many performances. Some acts also accompany themselves on guitar or piano, though almost always over a backing track. The single most important attribute that the judges are seeking, however, is the ability to appeal to a mass market of pop fans.

The competitions are usually split into three categories: vocal groups (including duos), solo singers aged 14--24, and solo singers aged 25 and over.

There are four stages to The X Factor competition:

Stage 1: Auditions
Stage 2: Boot camp (successful auditionees undergo a further selection procedure)
Stage 3: Visits to judges' houses (finalists are chosen)
Stage 4: Live shows (finals)

There are two special pan-regional versions of The X Factor. These follow the normal The X Factor format with the exception that contestants come from different countries in the region where it airs:
Arabia: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria and Tunisia.
United Kingdom: United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

Rhyian is simply and purely one of the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Something addictive about him!!! He is simply georgeous

[ceebee60]

I am in Australia, but originally from Wales, and I don't like music, yes I know sacriledge! I came on the YouTube to try and find something about Rhydian as my relatives in Wales were raving over him. Now,I cannot stop listening to him singing, and this is from someone who really, really dislikes music!

I can't wait to buy his cd.

[kivaH100]

what the fuck !!!!

[taster33]

he s better than a merica

[Carfer22]

That being said he still looks like a character from Bladerunner or the Highlander!

Rhydian is the best what UK music scene can offer to US.

He is the best young vocalist, better than any other on the both sides of the Atlantic, he is an excellent performer, flamboyant with the brilliant communication skills, his charm and charisma are bigger than life and he is not just outstandingly talented artists, but very determined and hard working individual.

And on the top of this he is a true artist!

Bluejolt..your right.....Rhydian is kidding himself a little and so are some of the people here commenting if they think he'll go further than Leona Lewis..dont get me wrong i dont like her music...but she is EXACTLY what the US Market LOVES. Rhydian will be a five minute wonder..And as correctly stated Alexandra Burke will go a lot further in the US market too. They are just both better singers..better artists....bigger personalities.

[LCStreetPhotographer]

Sarah...you used Rhydian and BIG PERSONALITY in the same sentence. Pleassse..think ENGLISH and GET REAL. Its taken him over a year to do anything. Jesus..if its taken him THIS LONG to do anything worth noting he will probably not go anywhere. Give it a year and he'll be off the radar again. And how in hell can you claim he is a better artist, singer and performer than Leona?? That girl ALREADY has the US Market sewn up. She's getting an oscar for doing a movie score already. So get real

[VirgilMaro]

I am a US Rhydian fan right here! I've bought his CD in support already. Rhydian is a wonderful classically trained vocalist making it in the pop scene and it's great!

[Tiiwy]

of course he can! because hi is already "crack" Finland!!... I mean, not all finland but me.

[SARAHSCHEM]

I am 100% sure America would love Rhydian.

Americans love big personalities, interesting artists, big voices, profound artistic power - and that's what Rhydian has got in an abundance!

he just needs proper songs and even more important a huge publicity as big as Leona has got.

At the end of the day he is much better artist, singer and the performer, entertainer than Leona and Josh Groban!

If he cannot crack America that simply just means Americans don't know what "true talent" means.
