Kinda Boring

Filed under: Rhydian

Rhydian has let us down!

His performance on X Factor Saturday night was safe, boring and uninspired. He coasted through it.

Having said that, he'll still likely make the final two.

Click here to watch Rhydian's schmaltzy performance.

How can you say that Perez, you obviously don't know the 2nd song like Sharon Osbourne, and how it means something to Britain as lilly stated , it was an outstanding performance and Rhydian will make it even if he doesn't win

Perez this is a huge song in the UK. It is the anthem of the Rugby World Cup & means a lot to all Brits, please bear in mind he is singing for British not American votes. Wait for X Factor to upload the vid of his Freddie Mercury standing on a piano lol

Hardly safe and boring. He performed a Hymn to a pack of vultures on that show. How brave can you get.

It's not the Welsh National Anthem (that's Lands of My Fathers / Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau), but it is a very well known and patriotic British hymn called 'I Vow to Thee, My Country', also set to new words and called World in Union for rugby. It was a great performance - very 'best of British', the theme of the show last night. I think Rhydian's still doing fantastically well.

Perez! This was Rhydian's SECOND song of the night - and it is one of those iconic inspirational songs known to everyone in Britain, the second part is something sung at rugby games apparently. The video of the FIRST song did not go up on the xfactor UK site until this morning US time - it is terrific! Rhydian did the Queen song "Somebody to Love" standing on a grand piano. He was GREAT!!!
Perez, THANK YOU for posting about Rhydian in the first place. I never would have checked out the XFactor UK site and become such a big Rhydian fan!

Final two for Rhyidan? Oh boi, you sure have no clue about Britain and the public over here.

Here is the deal: Same difference vs. Leon

It's as simple as that. Yes, quote me on that.

Perez this was Princess Diana's favourite hymn it was sung at her wedding and at her funeral..It is a powerful song which means a lot to people frome the UK..
ExFVocals says – reply to this

23

I guess you had to be there. Vocally skilled & flawless, which perhaps makes it sound easy, but it's NOT. You don't 'coast' through a song like that and have it sound that good. Simon was right - it was outstanding, IMHO.
FFS PEREZ says – reply to this

24

Come on Perez enough of this idiot and his freaky bloody hair!! HE IS SO OVERRATED!! Are the Brits fu*king stupid voting for this crap!! We thought they had TASTE when they chose Leona Lewis!! America is going to love Leona-come on girl! Can't wait till your over here again!! Keep freak and his weird hair!!! Give up on him Perez!!
Gene Genie play it again says – reply to this

well after reading the COMMENTS
i can see it is a CULTURAL issue, his song choice.

very clever and manipulative

bravo and boring
still boring
bore

broadway is for him…
keep him off the TV
sarah says – reply to this

26

perez for someone who claims to know all the facts you've been so retarded about this, it was his second song not his first and it is an iconic song known to everyone in britain.
ALso his first song was fabulous aswell.
Just because he didnt do any gimmicks or dress stupidly this week does not mean that it was boring - plus in the first song he sung it standing in a bright red suit on top of a grand piano, hardly the most dull thing.

Re: sarah –

Everyone in Britain?! Don't bloody speak for everyone! It was pure manipulation for the welsh vote! And at least one person didn't know it-the fanatastic Mrs O!

He's so robotic, cold and bland its scary. Oh wait thats just his hair.

Good on you Perez-this was dire. His two performances were among the worst of the night. The Rhydian bandwagon is wearing thin. Here's hoping it all crashes and burns in the next two weeks!!

Re: Joanne –

Oh Shut up Joanne.

Why would Perez want to subject anyone to more than one?!

What is this some ploy by the chosen one's fans to get him a few more votes lol?! They send the videos in week on week for what?!

Save us the pain Perez-this one was bad. The other…AWWFFFFUUUULLLL!!!

What is wrong with you, Perezboy?
If the song is not catchy or anything close to it, you call it boring?
This is a classic, traditional, old song, which means so much to everybody in UK. It's an anthem to the country you love and is nearly a secret to our heart. It's a majestic song and Rhydian has sung it majestically.
Get some musical lessons, baby!
Beside, Rhyd has sang as the first song Queen's Somebody To Love and he made fantastic, original performance, which you would have loved more than this one.
You can post it here too!

This guy has a VOICE!
Hey, Perez, he is sexy too.
Let's go and have a party with him.
Hope we'll see him in here soon!
Irishlass says – reply to this

32

God Perez, for someone who is such an 'anglophile' you apparently know very little about the UK!
That's an iconic song here, and very suitable choice for the theme "Best of British" music.
Like someone already said- Rhydian is so technically near perfect that he makes even the hardest songs sound easy.
sarah says – reply to this

33

I kinda love it. Hey, he is cute too. British always have something we/ I/ don't understand, maybe they are super human. Should I be worried for liking the song and the guy? He seems such a cool guy.
Jesster says – reply to this

34

Iconic, perfectly executed, and a downright brilliant choice to secure the votes needed to keep him in the game in the face of previous controversy. Rhydian is going to be HUGE worldwide, his will prove to be one of the major voices of our lifetime, ala Streisand, Celine, Whitney, Charlotte Church. If you really just can't "hear" just how extraordinary his voice is, and appreciate it…..then I am truly sad for you for what you are missing. A voice like that overrides your or my taste in vocal material, it just IS…and it is a rare gift. And yes, thank you Perez for bringing him to our attention in the first place, I try to remember that every time you piss me off or disappoint me .

I like Same Difference's performance of Wham =D

gawd Perez, you piss me off because you absolutely NEVER do any research on those you comment on. You are sinking and I feel badly.
skimmpy says – reply to this

37

I think the guy is cool. He just sings the way I am not used to and he looks so different from what we got here. His voice is boomingly beautiful, ha, ha……
margot says – reply to this

38

should I move to UK, because I like this performance? and I like the name of this man-Rhydian-it sounds very mystical.
Rhyidiot says – reply to this

Re: tj –

Im sure Perez isn't to bothered what you think.

And he doesnt need to do his bloody research-its only sad desperate Rhydiot fans sending him the video! LOL how pathetic are they for a few votes!

Re: Rhyidiot –

Hello, somebody hates this handsome and talented young man?
What's your problem? let him sing with his amazing voice for all those who love him!
Obviously you are not among them, so at least be polite…

This guy will be a HUGE Worldwide star. Cowell has clearly had an offer from the US already, you can tell that from his comments tonight. He'd be gutted if anyone else won because he KNOWS there is only money to be made from Rhydian (the others bring NOTHING new to the table whatsoever). This guy is set to eclipse Leona Lewis' sales in the UK and beyond. The biggest star a reality show has ever unearthed.

Re: Rhyidiot –
It's just a UK talent competition??????????????????
So whay are so nagative about him?
Personal nagative motivation maybe?
Cool down…..

i don't think that was boring at all..i thought it was amazing! I know that song is like a national loved song for england, so i think he did great.

Such a Bore! Is he the British Josh Groban? Yawn. Is that his real hair color or does he use Marilyn Monroe's haidresser (if he is alive)? Hateful patriotic song, should be singin for Veterans of the Wars.
rich git says – reply to this

53

Perez should try to understand that this song is huge in the British psyche. Apart from it's rugby World Cup connotations, it is deeply ingrained as Princess Diana's favourite song & was sung at both her wedding & her funeral.

54

i recently posted and from looking at comments against rhydian i have noticed that most come down to peeps not liking classical music, also same difference are rubbish just another s club, furthermore if ryhdian is rubbish how come he has never been in the bottom two and yes he could have done a welsh song to get welsh votes but at least he doesnt use sob stories like i used to get bullied

ok, now enough of this crap singing, please! he's been trying on the "welsh opera singer" myth too much, i'm really fed up! he's hardly the best welsh singer i've ever heard at all.

PEREZ, YOU PIG-FACED FREAK, YOU ARE THE MOST BORING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET. IN FACT, WHEN I SAW THE PUKING AND GAGGING REACTIONS TO THE "2 GIRLS 1 CUP" VIDEO, I THOUGHT AT FIRST THEY WERE LOOKING AT A PHOTO OF YOU WITHOUT CLOTHES ON! IT'S GOING TO BE SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU WADDLE INTO THE GUTTER AFTER YOUR 15 MINUTES ARE OFFICIALLY OVER–AND THE CLOCK IS TICK TICK TICKING!!!

Re: georgie –
Go barf in the phonebox and find the stink Leon your reatrd has left behind!

Leave Rhyd alone , georgie, or I tell Perez all about your drugged up leon-Rat boy,"muppet looking like he is on strings", "Pinocchio" "rabbit in the headlights" no-voice crappy singer.
You are all JELLUS and RHYDIAN is the true star of the whole X Factor EVER!!

Rhydian is the WINNER of this year's X Factor !!!!

Perez, Rhyd is brilliant, thank you for putting the video up!
He had a second song , Somebody To Love , and IT WAS AMAZING!
Very Original and superb, powerful vocals !
No one in X Factor is anywhere near him!
