Rhydian - Get the Party Started

The nation sits open mouthed as a star is born.
Rhydian striding through the audience dressed from head to toe in sequins and fur. The nation does a double take, almost unsure what they are watching, wondering if they have somehow switched to Strictly Come Dancing. And then the voice starts. Jesus!

It is like the Terminator, Liberace and Pavarotti have been fused into one. You just know that music will never be the same again. Even if the Rhydmeister couldn't sing very well he would be interesting...but this! This is truly life affirming.

Who can follow this?
Same Difference - dull name, horrible smiley people come on- and sing 'Reach for The Stars' and you can see it in their eyes that they know they will never get anywhere near the stars. The don't understand what a star is. They've just watched the previous act go interstellar.

Rhydian Roberts lookalikee #6

When most people see the Rhydler they think that glamour can not exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.... others just think, "He looks a bit like Johnny Bravo doesn't he?"

Rhydian gets the party started?

In advance of tonight's show where Rhydian will tear the place apart with a brooding operatic version of Let's Get the Party Started I thought I'd would be useful to see how other singers have interpreted the song.

Pink's version is well known but is it the best? Is it as good as Shirley Bassey's diva-ish version. Less well known is Lisa Hannigan and Damien Rice's. Even though most things he sings end up sounding miserable even Rice can't quite divest the song of it's ecstacy fueled bounce. Although he gives it his best shot.

An insider in The X Factor is reported saying that Emily's song this week, if she had stayed, would controversially have been Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy. So to celebrate Emily's removal from the show here is what the original sounds like:

Rhydian to Get the Party Started

Rumours abound about the choice of song that the Rhydmeister will sear into the nation's consciousness on Saturday night. It's not Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bohemian Rhapsody or even Creep. Instead, possibly, it will be that tribute to dropping Ecstasy ~ Get the Party Started by Pink.

No doubt Rhydian will sing it in the style of Wales' third best singer Shirley Bassey - but even so it is an inspired choice.

But surely it's about time the X Factor team put some sort of decent production around the singers. What I want to see is, as the music starts, Rhydian being lowered from the ceiling sitting cross legged on a giant ecstacy tab. To improve it even more they could have the other X Factor contestants staring up in awe from the stage. And instead of having a smiley face the ectasy pill has Rhyd's face drawn on it. As Rhydian lands on the stage he stares at the camera and a nation understands that this is a singer better than any drug.
The Rhyddler has arrived and it's time to start the party.
