Rhydian the Rugby Player

I've posted a few videos of the UK's current X-Factor favorite Rhydian Roberts. Today, the Brit tabloid Daily Mail chronicles his transformation from busted-up rugby player to peroxide pop singer.
Below, a vlog Rhydian posted yesterday, along with his most recent performance.

shame on him for betraying his ginger roots, or so the article would have us believe. granted, it is stupid and blond doesn't become him at all, but still, more importantly, who cares? you can't get more superficial and vapid than the british press. bravo.

It's like he has a completely different face. I guess he's lost a lot of weight....or had tons of plastic surgery (though I rather doubt that---he seems capable of doing whatever he wants with his incredible body).

After the hype about Danii Minogue crying over his performance, I don't know what the deal is. He has a nice, silky baritone voice, but nothing special. If anything, it lacks character. He could use some variation in inflection and phrasing. I know a dozen Broadway performers who could show him what it means to SING.

OMG, I love this guy!
What a voice, simply outstanding.
Finally we have somebody who knows how to sing and have a mesmerizingly strong and beautiful vocals.
And he is HOT< HOT< HOT!
