Well, Rhydian, you should know

Hey, guess what? One of the least popstar like people ever to waste Saturday evenings, Rhydian, is really thinking standards have slipped down at the X Factor:

"I don't think any of them are in Leona Lewis's league to be honest," he said.

"Jedward were one of the best things in the show talent-wise. At least they were entertaining. I was surprised they went last week - I thought another little young lad would have gone! Lloyd Daniels is making it through by the skin of his teeth each week."

To be frank, Leona Lewis' league isn't really that much of a standards bar, is it? Sure, you fell short, Rhydian, but it's a league that suggests men playing on a park pitch rather than in front of a crowd of millions.

The really sad thing is that Rhydian is clearly only sharing his "expert" opinion to promote his new album, which is available at all supermarkets, and will remain so until the returns van comes round just after Christmas.
