Rhydian, Impossible Dream, X Factor, 22.11.08

[@maydalena]

There is no doubt that Rhydian is the best singer, performer and the most charismatic contestant ever to step on the stage of X Factor. With this performance he belongs on the top of all time best performance at X Factor. Bravo, Rhydian!

[@normanfletcher8332]

Wow, 14 years & just picked up on this very talented singer... Powerful vocal & so handsome.

[@watts4433]

He is an amazing singer. I said it two years ago and i'll say it again- the fact a distinctly sub average singer like Leon Jackson can get more votes than a singer like Rhydian proves just how meaningless shows like the x factor are, and how cluless the public are in their naive acceptance of average mainstream music. Good on him for showing his critics what REAL talent is.

[@lilianagodoy4207]

Absoluta.ente es una voz increíble, estamos en época que hasta en lo más mínimo ,cultural.entw el buen gusto se perdió entre tanta bulgaridad ES desequilibrado el concepto de ; LO BUENO LO MEDIOCRE Y LO EXCELENTE COMO EN ESTE CASO RYDIAN ES LA PERFECCION DE UNA VOZ DE ESCUELA,LO SEÑORIAL DEL CANTANTE.NOSOTROS LOS DE OIDO FINO LO ELEGIREMOS PARA SIEMPRE COMO A CANTANTES COMO DIMITRY HVOROSTOVSK- DIMASH KUDAIBERGEN , ANGELINA JORDAN ,JAHMENÉ Y OTROS TANTOS QUE HAN PASADO POR ESE PROGRAMA ,YO TENGO LA COLECCION DE LOS MEJORES Y AMO LA MUSICA 🎶 🎉❤😊

[@welshdebs2]

You need to hear him Live. he gets double standing ovation for this every time!!

[@tinamcintyre6797]

I was lucky to see him live .he was amazing ..

[@kittykooky]

Still to this day absolutely unbelievabley stunning.❤ Feb 2024...

[@jiopsi2]

I know, everbody knew Rhydian would be great, but I think he still blew them away unexpectedly.

[@MorganAFunches]

Rhydian is such an underrated X factor contestant!

[@elainemorey1119]

HE SHOULD HAVE WON,PURE TALENT

[@cjvaco53]

Rhydian is by far the best singer to ever come out of the Xfactor, Amazing voice and talent and "A World Class Star" Love you Rhydian

[@marykeaveney5081]

Omg absolutely beautiful what a fabulous version of a beautiful song ❤❤

[@ssj2matt]

X Factor will never be as good as Rhydian made it. I watched every week for him.

Outstanding

[@gillinizzle]

and he is such a gentleman.

[@444JMS]

More than 12 years since he appeared on the X Factor... and to this day, I maintain that he should certainly have won! Absolute robbery that season.

[@vincentbillaud9011]

I am french and i think the best x factor uk winner and singer of all time is Joe Mc elderry! All his performances were incredible and his duet with the great Georges Mickael was really fantastic! This young singer can sing anything (pop, opera....)!

[@444JMS]

@@survivrs Does the name Leon Jackson ring a bell? X Factor 2007.

[@survivrs]

@@444JMS No, I didn't know about XF until I saw Joe's audition, so I kept scrolling to listen to others, and found new and old songs that I'd either forgotten or never heard and instantly fell in love with them. I've watched American Idol since Season 8 I think, watched 3 years of XF here in the states. It got cancelled because viewers were dropping by the millions. We have AGT and The Voice. This year with the pandemic, I didn't even pay attention. Idol just had their 2nd night of auditions and it looks like there is a lot of talent this year. I try to find other singers like the one you mentioned, because of my love of music. I spend so much more time here than Facebook, etc.

[@ruthryan9173]

More than robbery ....incredible performer along with leona Lewis and Alexander burke

[@suesmith7825]

He was robbed of winning, I was disappointed for him and I love him singing impossible dream ❤

[@madlizzie49]

The best voice to ever come out of X Factor

***** Good morning Cowboys!!!

[@Clof1959]

survivrs We Are all 4 HUGE Joe McElderry Fans & have been from his 1st Audition in 2009'.... Joe has an easy to listen to Melodic voice while Rhydian's is more of a Technical Trained Voice that he uses perfectly no matter the Song he sings...... Listening wise we never get tired or bored listening to Joe..... Rhydian we have to be in the mood for but the more you listen to his performances the more you like him..... Be Safe, Keep the Faith Always, 4 Romantic Cowboys

[@survivrs]

***** That's right, I had that discussion with 1RomanticSoul a couple of months ago but until you just said that, I had forgotten. I have meds that interfere with my memory in the worst way. I had never heard "Dance with my father" until Joe sang it. I had no idea that it was Luther VanDross's song until Joe was telling the judges at his audition. I listened to his version and I have to admit that at the end of the season, after I'm sure the vocal coaches worked with Joe on his breathing and vibrato, his voice was like velvet when he sang it.

[@sharonbass4392]

And where is Joe today? Nowhere really.

[@carolclarke4450]

A truly outstanding artist. We should see and hear more of him

[@wendyjoy8266]

[@jordiniaarts]

Rhydian is one of the best singers I have EVER heard! I watched him in a show he sang so beautifully! He really is the best!

[@1BeeJenks]

He gets a standing ovation every time that he sings The Impossible Dream in his concerts. I never get tired of hearing him sing it. He is an extremely versatile singer and his voice just gets better and better. Thrille d to have listened to the sample tracks today of his forthcoming Classical Album "One Day Like This". It sounds as though it is going to be great.

[@survivrs]

I guess I'd better find that and give it a listen!

[@mrsmuggins8167]

I loved Rhydian's talent as soon as I heard him sing, he should've won the XFactor.

[@marionsutton5906]

I could listen to this man all day and night 🥰

[@natureangel2]

I have tonight returned from seeing him in the CIA in Cardiff, he was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations so much. His voice is so powerful and he has a great sense of humour. A real Superstar!!

[@grampy12]

one of the greatest performances of any song, by any artist, that I have ever seen.

[@mornalika]

Wow, wow, wow. This has to be the ultimate version of this song. His power and range is fantastic. No other version can touch this one - in my opinion of course.

[@ruthm46]

This is by far the best version of this song ❤️❤️

[@lpcsteve]

iam 49 and my daughter bought me his album, its wonderful. Thank you Rhydian.

[@jiopsi2]

This is truely legend. Slowly building the power and tone as he "reaches up the unreachable star", the three keychange part at the middle is unbelievable and the slow moment after where he is "laid to his rest" is full of nuances and emotion that just tingles your spine. A truely defining moment of live performances. IMO definitely a best version of this song.

[@ChristineMorrall-k8x]

He is great and very lovely 🌹 He should have gone a lot further with such a wonderful voice ❤️

[@antalmax]

Rhydian has sold 600,000+ copies of his album (double platinum) and is producing album no. 2. Also, right this moment, he is playing his Sold Out Tour.And the reviews coming in are superb. All others from XF4 (incl the winner) have been dropped &their combined tour -SD&LJ- has been mostly cancelled after very low sales. Rhydian proved the point that he is World Class and the oublic are buying into him as an artist. The others missed the boat..

[@MariaGarcia-eg4wk]

Not everyone can sing this song, so hearing him singing wow!! ❣️❣️😊🎵

[@willbee6785]

He’s the only one I’ve ever voted for on the show to date. He is simply superb. What a showman!

[@welshdebs2]

You need to go and see Rhydian live! A more genuine person you'll never meet!! He's awesome live! and more pwerful than here.

[@fairlyvague82]

10 years on and I still say he was robbed.

[@user-zy9yg2eu5t]

The Scots banded together and robbed this poor young sensual man from Wales

[@Namnodnol]

If I could sing, I would want to have this guy's voice - everytime I hear him sing it gives me goosebumps - Brilliant!

[@AwesomeAsAPossom]

Remember seeing this live, amazing voice, met him too, great guy

[@kbm506]

Proper singing, real class and talent

[@bee14em]

He's amazing

[@cindyharrison542]

Fantastic singer. What a performance. Nailed it.

[@zbjesila]

I would love to hear him here, in Prague....

[@siobhanlawlor247]

Phenomenal

[@shortyktfc]

he was in the under 25s back then - Danni was the mentor. She also had the eventual winner Leon... justice in the end though - one gets world domination - lord knows where Leon is now...

[@wandakennell8186]

This is one of my favorite songs it is touching tear jerker

[@cadrolls]

100% pure class. WOW!

[@blodwen6946]

Its great to listen to Rhydian singing The Impossible Dream again. Have heard him singing it many times in concert but unfortunately he seems to have temporarily retired. Being a fan since 2007 I have every one of his albums. Hopefully we will get to see him performing again one day.

[@hollyhood2435]

Oh My GOD! I’m In Tears And My Stomach Is In A Knot! I LUV It!

[@LaYourMaster]

he sounds absolutely incredible.

RHYDIAN I LOVE YOUR VOICE THANK YOUXXXXP

[@suzannelucas4745]

Rhydian is absolutely brilliant, first class singer. Amazing ! What a voice.

[@WolfeTone66]

The people of Scotland got behind Leon & he won the Xfactor. Good luck to him, he was a talented singer & a nice guy, but with no disrespect intended, Rhydian was in a totally different league. He really was & is World Class.

[@bkopgamer]

Rhydian was a lot better than Leon because his talent blew us away. I actually agreed with Simon that Rhyidan should have won instead.

[@philippacowhig-morris5583]

Agree with World Class . Although people of Wales got Rhydian , but Rhydian was marmite..end of !

[@mandymoo6404]

OMG! Rhydian i love you. you take my breath away everytime i hear you sing this song.xx

Rhydian has a Beautiful voice, such a Handsome ladSteve Sydney Australia

[@liamholmes9169]

Rhydian is now my favourite all time act. He can sing and my favourite runner up, he is a class act, my highest ranked series 4 act. My winner. He is even better than Leona. At least he changes his performance. And more exciting, he would had won over Leona, as he won me over.

[@marianlawrie8614]

I would love to see him live ,he’s just fantastic !

[@mattmatt1966]

i agree the best voice ever on x factor

He was the winner in my eyes

[@ivonilsonmartinsdossantos8735]

Some people were born to do exactly what no one else can ever do. That´s the very particular subject that a person will take througout his life, which is giving other people a reason to laugh, to cry, and to be happy.

[@mandymoo6404]

Rhydian- A**********. Absolutely beautiful voice. He should have won X-Factor. Love him.xxx

[@ZerofactionWC]

It's funny how it's mainly the fans of Leon that dislike Rhydian. If you don't like him, stay out of these videos and go watch Leon. Rhydian was to be honest, world class. Simon got it spot on. He can really hold notes and nobody can deny the fact he is a fantastic singer. I just wish the Leon fans vs Rhydian fans war would quit.

[@herbiehartwig9685]

So beautifully sung and certainly robbed.

[@marciolomelino6910]

Great singer!

[@TashF]

The Impossible Dream is, technically, a very difficult song to perform. It's not one of my favourites, but I respect anybody who has a good go at it. I wasnt a big fan of Rhydian last year to be honest, the way he was presented and the 'attitude' and stuff, it just kinda put me off. But after watching this, he earned my respect. Thats for sure.

[@elisabetaniederkorn3336]

Fantastica voce. Ascult cu mare placere,aproape in fiecare zi.

Stunning performance, brilliant,

[@pq9r6v3h2x]

Rhydian I Love you thanks for singing

[@Daphoes]

What a voice he have, he is truely amazing, hope he have done well for himself, i havnt heard much off him, hes probably doing musicals(in my opinion thats where he belongs), must be amazing to see live (would love to try that once in my life)

[@thomasmcnamee1032]

Daphoes seen him in Glasgow,took my partner who said,do I have to,she was gobsmacked at how good he was

[@gmonkey808]

Wow Great version Rhydian. RIP Andy Willliams.

Ive forgotten who did win it? Rhydian was totally brilliant, awesome.

[@feralferret]

+Margaret Green Leon Jackson won, Rhydian was runner up.

[@amyclarke41]

[@feralferret]

I'm afraid I don't have Leon Jackson-tracking GPS. However I'm sure if you google 'Leon Jackson', you may be able to see what he's up to.
