Rikki Loney - X Factor 2009
Wednesday, 7th October 2009.
Cheeky Glaswegian Rikki Loney is determined to go all the way in this year's X Factor after being rejected three times previous.
The 21-year-old auditioned in series one, two and five - getting to Bootcamp stage last year before being told he just didn't have what it takes.
But despite this devastating knock he picked himself back up came back stronger than ever 12 months later.
Maybe he felt no pressure this year... he didn't tell his family he was auditioning again because he was sick of raising their hopes.
Experience
Rikki - who lives on his own in Scotland's second city - has been singing anywhere he can over the past year.
Pubs, clubs and even old people's homes have had a taste of what's to come from Rikki in series 6 of The X Factor.
He is really desperate to win, to be an established singer and to perform at Wembley.
And more than anything he wants to prove to the judges that they made a mistake letting him go last year.
Could this be Rikki's year?
