The X Factor (2007)
Rhydian has retrospectively commented: "I’m very proud of what I achieved on X Factor. I’m a showman and it gave me the chance to put on a show". His showmanship was evident in
- A full theatrical account of "The Phantom of the Opera", eliciting Louis Walsh's prediction, "You've got star quality, you've got presence, and this show's going to change your life."
- "Get the Party Started" in a fur mink coat and green sequin-covered suit
- "Go West" in Navy Officer uniform surrounded by male backing singers in sailor outfits.
At audition his manifest talent, coupled with self-assurance and ambition, both awed and perplexed the judges. During the live stages of competition, Rhydian felt that he was portrayed as a "pantomime villain", but eventually his "trademark white hair and flamboyant dress sense made him an audience favourite." His prospects had been buoyed by powerful performances of, among others, "You Raise Me Up," "I Vow to Thee My Country". and "Bridge over Troubled Water", the last acclaimed by Simon Cowell as bloody fantastic ..." Of his rendition of "Somewhere", a tearful Dannii Minogue declared: "I can't even speak, that was so beautiful". His version of "The Impossible Dream" became the keynote track on his first album.
