Thought I'd also mention that it is an absolute travesty that Rhydian didn't win the X Factor. The show is no longer called 'Pop Idol' and therefore is not, apparently, seeking the next Kylie Minogue or Michael Jackson: it is ostensibly seeking someone who has something beyond the norm, who has a talent that cannot be taught and learned.
Leon? I barely knew his name until today, the guy with the frog legs who does a passable imitation of a Michael Buble, who himself does a passable imitation of the likes of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack greats.
'Be daring, be different' - and the British public rejects you. I look forward to the day I can watch Rhydian perform in the role for which he was made: The Phantom of the Opera will be a phenomenal success with him as the protagonist. In the meantime, I am thankful I'm not in the UK and thus forced to listen to endless renditions of Leon's painful version of, 'If you believe'. (Which, by the by, was a pretty tragic song in the first place).
So there we go. Yes, I watch X Factor - albeit via YouTube - and yes, I have gotten so iritated with it that it warranted a blog posting. Mock me at your peril.
