Despite only finishing as runner-up in the 2007
X Factor competition, demand for more from Welsh-born, classically-trained singer Rhydian Roberts has been high. After a gap
of almost a year the simply-titled 'Rhydian' makes good on the singer's promise shown during the competition. His characteristically
flamboyant interpretations of hits from musicals and beyond take up a fair amount of this release, even performing a duet
with Broadway legend Idina Menzel on 'What If'.

Rhydian T-Shirts
With the tour coming up in the New Year, interest is growing in the Rhydian
T-Shirts.
Remember, all profits go to one of Rhydian's favourite charities, Crossroads.
Wearing
the T shirt is also a great way for us to identify ourselves at gigs and concerts. Rhydian also appreciates seeing them
in the crowd!
"The reason I applied initially
to X Factor was to get my name out there and to do this type of singing - but also to put my Mum' s charity on the map."
"I
want to have money that I can give to others. I really believe that. It comes from my faith as well - to give"
"You know this
show can produce stars, and I think that’s what it’s all about, and I have to say, if we are going to award the
prize to the person who has been consistently, actually brilliant throughout, you have to give it to you Rhydian."
"I don't think it matters whether you are Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish or British - whatever, that was outstanding....."
"Rhydian I thought that was bloody fantastic..absloutely in a different league ..."
