O Holy Night by Rhydian Roberts, Music Video, Lyrics and Review
Rhydian was 3/1 on favourite with the bookmakers before going into the final but was beaten into second place by 18-year-old Leon Jackson.
On finals night Rhydian sang O Holy Night, Somewhere - which had reduced judge Danii Minogue to tears when he had performed it in a previous round - and a duet of You Raise Me Up with Katherine Jenkins.
This is one of his best performances, it’s divine, what a great talent, absolutely beautifully sung his voice makes me break out in goosebumps !!!
Rhydian Roberts - O Holy Night Lyrics
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
it is the night
of our dear saviors birth
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
’til he appeared
and the soul felt it’s worth
The thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn
oh fall on your knees
oh hear the angels voices
oh night divine
oh night oh night divine
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
this is the night
of our dear saviors birth
oh fall on your knees
oh hear the angels voices
oh night divine
oh night oh night divine

Roberts played rugby for his school, attends the gym daily and is currently a personal trainer.

He also received highly critical comments from judge, Sharon Osbourne. As a Welsh speaker Roberts has recorded messages and interviews for Radio Cymru, recording an audio diary for the station’s Dylan a Meinir Show and has also appeared on S4C shows such as Wedi 7. Although he was the bookmaker’s clear favourite to win, Roberts finished second in the competition

Rhydian’s rendition of Oh Holy Night was so beautiful that I keep logging onto the internet whenever possible, just to listen to it.
