The second song from Rhydian's album Waves has been played for the first time at BBC Radio 2! :cheer: Here you can listen to 'Hands To Heaven' for the first time! Amazing song with fantastic interpretation of Rhydian! :yahoo: :wub: http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydian.html http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225476_10150189004255680_12049250679_6866107_7814004_n.jpg Patricky, check your PM! :)

You can use it, but I can PM you a lovely Rhydian banner if you want! :dance: Have anyone heard Rhydian first single Parade on Radio 2? Apparently has been played there for the first time! :w00t:

Rhydian has been a part of WWRC musical since 2 months, having currently a short break from it, but continues to act and sing in the musical in July and the beginning of August. The musical will be staged at Birmingham for the above mentioned time. I have no clue if he is going to be able to promote his album Waves while being the part of the WWRY. :blink: :( We'll have to wait and see! :teresa: Rhydian is to headline an open air concert which will open the Gwyl Gobaith Music Festival in Mold at the end of August. He'll be showcasing songs from his new album due for release on 1st August and will be joined by BOND, the original all-girl electric string quartet with more stars to be announced soon. http://d928945.u50.ukisp.com/photos/gwylgobaith2.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225476_10150189004255680_12049250679_6866107_7814004_n.jpg

Rhydian will be headlining the music festival in August! :yahoo: :cheer: Rhydian and Only Men Aloud! for Gŵyl Gobaith James McLaren | 10:12 UK time, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 Gŵyl Gobaith line-up has begun to be announced, with some of Wales' top classical/crossover stars in the frame. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225476_10150189004255680_12049250679_6866107_7814004_n.jpg Rhydian Roberts will join The Three Welsh Tenors and Only Men Aloud at the Deeside festival which takes place 26-28 August. Part of the philosophy of the festival is to raise money for charities and this year the three main sponsors have each chosen their own good cause. Clic Sargent, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Wales Air Ambulance have been chosen by Airbus, Gardeners Accountants and Windpower Wales respectively. Rhydian Roberts said: "It is a pleasure to be able to perform here. I love to perform and it is essential that we keep music festivals alive in Wales and Clwyd, because it is a great place, with good links across the border. "I am very excited to be at the launch and the Air Ambulance is something that is also close to my heart and saved the life of a neighbour of mine. It's a great line up and going to be a great festival." Lucky fans in Wales! :)

Thanks for that! :cheer: I wonder if Rhydian gets any Radio 2 exposure with his first single; I don't even know the rules or what is the selection process for the songs which would be getting on their playlist. :wacko: Chinetoy, have you got any knowledge about that? :huh: For Rhydian is of the enormous importance getting a decent airplay on the national and local radio stations. http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000201FF.gif

Which iTunes - UK? I can't find it there! :blink:

No, the video is still not out. ;) The full length first single Parade has been heard on BBC Radio 2. :D A short, 1 minute part of the song, which is amazing bw, can be heard here: http://www.rhydianroberts.com/NEWALBUM/page12.html You'll be surprised- new Rhydian, nothing like you've heard him before! :yahoo: :cheer:

I have found something interesting! :yahoo: Here is what the member of 'The Mission' thinks about Rhydian recording their song "Tower Of Strength'! :w00t: http://themissionuk.com/wp/2011/06/22/mgt-...rs-the-mission/ http://themissionuk.com/wp/2011/06/22/mgt-...rs-the-mission/ MGT TO APPEAR AT OCTOBER SHOWS & RHYDIAN COVERS THE MISSION!!!! "And lastly, and certainly not least, is the news that Rhydian has recorded a version of the band’s ‘Tower Of Strength’ for his next album ‘Waves’ which is being released in the UK on August 1st. Rhydian, who originally came to fame in the UK via the tv show ‘X-Factor’, sold over 1 million copies of his last album. Upon hearing the track Wayne Hussey said, ‘For once I am speechless. I have no idea who Rhydian is as I live in Brazil and have done for almost 10 years now and whilst I listen to the Mark Radcliffe show on BBC Radio 6 via the internet I have never heard him play Rhydian. But that means bugger all. Radcliffe can be as obscure as I currently am. I’m flattered that Rhydian recognises ‘Tower Of Strength’ for being the great song I've always felt it was to the extent of covering it for his next album. Having never heard his sonorous voice before I can truthfully say I am gobsmacked and feel that his version captures the true essence of the song which to me has always been celebratory and joyous, and not the pompous goth dirge that many perceive the Mission and ‘Tower Of Strength’ to be. Kudos to the man and I look forward to shaking his hand and thanking him for the publishing check!’ And there is now speculation that Rhydian could make a surprise appearance with the band at their Brixton show in October. More on that as and when we hear." http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202C2.gifhttp://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202C2.gifhttp://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202C2.gifhttp://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202C2.gifhttp://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202C2.gif

I am so excited about that! I really like Rhydian's Parade! :cheer: :w00t:

Very interesting recently taken interview with Rhydian! It's good to know why he left SyCo, why he decided to go for an independent record label even if some big ones have been dying to get him. So many new stuff in that interview! You can read it here: http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=...86&st=11100 :w00t: :cheer: :heart:

Some more news about Rhydian's TV Show this coming autumn! http://www.avantimed...atest.php?id=25 http://www.avantimedia.tv/pics/news/picture1_1308240496.jpg Rhydian This Autumn will see Rhydian Roberts present his very own series for S4C. Joining him will be a star line-up of guests along with a showcase of exciting up and coming Welsh talent. Over a period of eight weeks, Rhydian will perform a number of his old favourites but also introduce us to his latest repertoire from his new album. The new light entertainment series will be staged on a bespoke ‘Vegas-like’ set where Rhydian and his guests will provide us with a star-studded evening of performance. From pop to classical arias, from street dancing to contemporary gymnastics, this truly promises to be a spectacular series for all! How I wish to see it! :unsure: Lucky fans in UK! Hopefully there will be something on YT!

Heard it and it sounds as a song for small children; somebody wants to destroy her career from the very beginning. lil! B) :D

Anybody heard for band Brother? :blink: They are suppose to come out with the second album, but don't know the release date! <_<

http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydcoversq3avilg.gif Rhydian is currently acting and singing the role of Khashoggi in the musical 'We Will Rock You'! He is on the cover of magazine 'What's On LIve' on June addition. :cheer: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/359/whatsonlive.jpg

http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydianroberts.gif Yes, we all hope so! :cheer: He so much deserves to be heard by the main stream market. Waves, that's the name of the third album, has got a collection of very interesting pop and rock songs. I did hear the first single in full, which will be released in mid of July and I do like it. Great song, great melody, palpable rhythm, rock ballad with his magnificent voice! :w00t: I wish him all the best! http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000202B0.gif

Ok, now I see! :D You are mostly pure pop fan! I like Adele too! Lady GaGa is a bit, regarding her appearance, below my taste, lol, but she is a good songwriter, I suppose. :wacko: But I am most of the time go for the good vocalists and original songwriters, love also jazz, but only when listening alone to it in the sanctuary of my bedroom. ;) Like Queen, love U2, sometimes on the dance floor Latin rhythm, lol. :dance: And as you've seen I am fanatic Rhydian's fan - because of his voice, his passionate performances, his versatility and the guy is just a great human being, love his camp side too! B) I wish you would at least try to like him just a bit!

You've never told me what kind of a music You like? ;) Not that I want to convert you to Rhydian's fan, lol, :rolleyes: but I really want to know. :D http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydianheader.gif

I know that! :D I am in love with his voice since than! But he sang also few rock songs there and he was as excellent in The Phantom of the Opera as he was with Somebody to Love, Go West, Get this Party Started, am I right? Here is him singing Who Wants To Live Forever! :cheer: I hope you like it! :P http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydcoversq3avilg.gif

http://www.moontripgraphics.com/rhydianheader.gif 'Rhydian’s first single ‘Parade’ will be released in mid-July and can already be heard on the radio. Roy White, of White and Torch – the original singers of the song – contacted us to say ‘Rhydian is a star – as stars should be. Parade is such a dramatic song it would take quite a singer to fill the original singer’s boots (That was me by the way, ha ha ha). Rhydian has done the job very nicely. Love it. I wish him all the luck in the universe.’ :w00t: :yahoo: :cheer:

O, I haven' t heard him singing opera; he was never an opera singer. :blink: From where did you get that? :o He has released two albums until now! :dance: The first one is already certified double platinum, it was a classical crossover mixed with pop songs album. The second album is a classical one, but there is no operas on it; the album has been nominated for the best classical album of the year. Very high quality , Rhydian sings the duets with the royalties of the classical music Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Bryn Terfel on it; the album went straight to the golden certificate, which is for the classical album rather rare. Let us wait and see; until now the third album Waves have got some excellent inputs from many of the music critics who have heard it. Yes, I know from the listening to the small part of the song one can not objectively say if it's good or not; so, let us just wait and see! :)

That's fine; so what kind of a music do you like? :( I've always liked the singers with the voice, I mean those real singers who can get on the stage at any time and sing with their own voice with no help of the studio behind them. I hope you understand what I am talking about. I also like that kind of the music like Rhydian will be bringing with this album, a powerful, yet melodically rhythmic, emotionally charged music which we've have been missing last 20 years or so. Let us wait and see! :dance: :yahoo:

Here is 1 minute long part of his first single 'Parade' which is going to be released on July 18! :cheer: I do like the song and if all album is as good as the first song we are all for a special treat with Rhydian.s first pop album. :w00t: What do you think? :dance:

What position she is at? <_<
