Here's Rhydian per­form­ing 'Go West' on Saturday night's X Factor. Surprisingly he didn't slip up despite the stage being covered in seamen etc etc etc.

The obser­va­tion in the intro­duc­tion that "it could be perceived as being quite camp" was the under­state­ment of the century but all the "but having listened to it, it's alright", "meeting Girls Aloud, for a young man, was amazing", "I hope the rugby team aren't watching" business was a bit get-over-yourself, don't you think?
