I *L*O*V*E* ALTIYAN CHILDS!

I don't know whether any of you are following the Australian series of the X Factor, but Altiyan is my pick to win the whole thing!

Unfortunately this clip cuts off at the end, and New Zealanders don't have access to most of the X Factor clips due to copyright (I guess because the series is being shown here a few days after the Australian live broadcasts), but it's one of my favourite Altiyan performances:



I also love that on all the interviews, he shows himself to be emotionally honest and openly spiritual. He's had to deal with a lot, including the fact that his father does not have much time left to live... he entered the X Factor because his father encouraged him to, and I am sure his father is SO INCREDIBLY PROUD.

Is anyone else here an Alityan fan?

A very touching interview about Altiyan and his father's degenerative heart condition (he also talks a little bit about his spirituality), along with some clips from Altiyan's performance of 'Eye of the Tiger'.



Man... I enjoyed Adam Lambert on American Idol years ago, but Altiyan is something else altogether!
