Danyl Johnson’s ‘X-Factor’ Audition - Video
For those of you who don’t know, ‘X-Factor’, is the British big-brother of ‘American Idol’. It was the original-right down to everyone’s favorite judge, Simon Cowell.
One of the auditions this year is taking the internet, and my panties, by storm. A 27 year-old teacher from Reading, England by the name of Danyl Johnson wow’d the judges, including the often blase Simon, with a stunningly soulful rendition of the Beatles hit, “With a Little Help From My Friends.” Yeah, yeah…that is the ‘Wonder Years’ song for all you Fred Savage lovers out there.
It seems Danyl’s performance was so amazing, Simon gave him a standing ovation. It also appears that he’s so darn cute he may have just made a jump into my top five list. Cowell even went so far as to say the following:
Via Right Music:
“I have been doing this for eight or nine years. Danyl, that was single-handedly the best first audition I have ever heard.”
Many Brits are already labeling him the next Susan Boyle. Let’s hope this isn’t true as I would not only like to see him win, but would rather he not get a make-over or spend anytime in a nuthouse.
