I had been hooked to X Factor clips on Youtube. X Factor is like American Idol, with Simon Cowell but it is British. First, I was watching the X Factor 3 where Leona Lewis won. Then, I went to X Factor 4 which saw Leon Jackson won. Leon Jackson is a cute 18 years old who has very heavy Scottish accent. When he speaks English, I momentarily forgot it is English.

After I had finished watching Leon Jackson performances, all 18 of them on X Factor 4, I discovered Rhydian Roberts. After watching Rhydian Roberts, I personally think he is a much better singer than Leon Jackson. However, Leon probably attracts a lot of teens so in that sense, he is ‘market-able’.

However, Rhydian Roberts, though lost the title, he had clinched a contract with BMG and his first album is coming out on November 24th. The UK is all abuzz with Rhydian Roberts first album. I wish I can get my hands on it too. He has such a powerful voice and his performance is very unique. I love how he put on his faces to suit the songs.

Rhydian Roberts sang O Holy Night in the final and I have the Youtube video of him over at my faith blog.
