The Unlikeable Tossers?

Romero said it, are you surprised? It's coming from the man who makes some of the most ridiculous statements ever.

Benazir Bhutto was as evil as Adolf Hitler!

Mark,

I just saw the new Leon video. On the upside at least he doesn't sound nervous for once but my god his voice isn't nice to listen to. Just awful!

It's not very good, no. Its only marginally better than the live version

I don't know if Rhydian will be a "big star" ie, sell Leona levels of albums but supposedly his album will be a "proper" album and feature mostly original stuff - he deserves to do well IMO.

I hate it when these pop stars release an album of mostly covers.

I can't see Rhydian being a big star.

He's too quirky for mainstream appeal and his style of singing won't appeal to the youth market.

Anyone else hear the rumour that he stabbed himself in the cheek with knitting needles to create that facial scar(!)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 30 Dec 2007, 23:01

I did wonder how that came about. Agreed, he'll do better in the theatre.

He's had an offer from Lloyd Webber to be in Phantom of the Opera 2 (Phantom in Manhattan) I think, supposedly the lead (!)
Don't know where the scars from.

I don't believe that.

Why not?
He's also signed with Simon Cowell's company now (Sony BMG I think) so he's got to decide I guess

just spin that Grim to keep him in the public spotlight. would you buy one of his albums?

Depends whats on it. Better original material than covers but full versions of 1 or 2 X Factor performances would be great

well when he releases it,be patient,give it 3 months and you'll get it in wh smith's bargain bin for 99p amongst offerings from Gareth Gates,Steve Brookstein, Michelle McManus,Darius,etc.

He can't do anything for 3 months anyway, I know what you mean though

Wow its turned into the SHIT X factor thread. Talk about no talent in any way.

Phantom in Manhattan - You what???

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 31 Dec 2007, 17:49

The sequel to Phantom of the Opera which ALW is writing/has written

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 31 Dec 2007, 18:18

I knew that thanks Grim

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 31 Dec 2007, 18:21

OK then

If you knew what it was why ask?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 31 Dec 2007, 18:23

LOL I didn't. The whole idea is so absurd it cannot be true.

Rhyd just said he wants to do it, not that he will
