X Factor - Rhydian Roberts to sing Babs hit
Foghorn-voiced Rhydian Roberts is to cover a Barbra Streisand song on the forthcoming edition of the X Factor.
Revealed by Digital Spy, the choices for the "Love Songs" show include Somewhere, originally warbled by Babs herself but now to be performed by classically-trained Rhydian.
It will be a return to the serious side of music for Rhydian, who has been glammed up by mentor Dannii Minogue in recent weeks and belted out classics such as Go West, complete with sailors and fur coats.
Leon will sing Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me, while Beverley is set to have a go at Without You - a beautiful ballad originally sung by Harry Nilsson but made legendary by Mariah Carey in the 1990s.
Fellow over-25 contestant Niki will attempt Jennifer Rush's The Power of Love and Hope will stay current with Hurt, a song by Christina Aguilera.
Finally, brother-sister duo Same Difference will bring their own sprinkling of cheese to Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - a 1987 hit originally written as the theme tune to the film Mannequin.
It is set to be a quiet competition from now on for Sharon Osbourne, as she no longer has any acts left in the series.
