Meet Danyl Johnson, Simon Cowell’s latest creation and the first singer in this season of UK talent show The X Factor to go viral (video below.)
A 27 year old teacher from Reading, Danyl Johnson wowed the crowd singing The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” The performance was strong; maybe not tear jerking staggeringly strong, but Johnson is an entertainer as well with a strong stage presence, which is definitely going to help him win votes.
But the important question isn’t whether the audience liked Johnson, but what Simon Cowell thought? In the Danyl Johnson video below, you’ll see Cowell get immediately to his feat for a standing ovation.
It’s early into the current series of The X Factor, so Johnson probably won’t be the last “sensation” out of the show (Cowell’s getting very good at the game now) but he deserves to enjoy his 15 minutes of fame.
