I hate reality shows!!! Now, let me rephrase that. I love reality shows…a lot but I hate how things often turn out in the end. In the last two seasons of American Idol, I was really pissed off that David Archuleta and Adam Lambert did not win.
Well, I’ve been following this year’s X Factor on youtube…and I was tremendously impressed by this guy at the audition – Danyl Johnson…
Gosh! He was a natural – a really great singer and performer. That was obvious right from the start. That Joe Cocker’s “With a little help from my friend” is no piece of cake but he handled it so well – like mere child’s play.
Then it was downhill all the way until Week 8 when his stunning, simply awesome rendition of Elton John’s “Your song”…
…simply blew me away. This song holds a special meaning for me – it was the first song I sang at an English pub in Plymouth when I was there in 1994…and that started a series of “appearances” in the local karaoke scene that made me a whole lot of friends the 3 months that I was there.
Danyl did Michael Jackson’s “Man in the mirror” in Week 9…
…and his superb interpretation of The Gloved One’s song was indeed a fitting tribute to the late superstar and it left me quite…breathless.
Then the shocking revelation came! He was voted out of the competition! How could that be? The other three who will now proceed to the finals were at best note-perfect…but lacked Danyl’s life and soul in their songs. In other words, I thought they were pretty boring.
SIGH!!! It does not really matter now who wins as to me, he or she, in my eyes, would not be the best and would come nowhere near Danyl Johnson.

hey, u love david archuleta too?? I never missed AI during that time.. but Adam lambert… no, I don’t fancy him nor Chris Allen as well… i still prefer David, the young cute guy, posted about him few times in my blog … the way he sang Imagine… wow.. he brought goosepimples upon me! but who is this Danyl Jackson? Which channel.. i dont know anything about this reality show.. ok, i listen to him now!
US has American Idol, UK has X Factor…and past winners include Leona Lewis and Shayne Ward, if you’ve heard of them. Hehehehehehehe!!!! I know because I’m so young mah!!! ROTFLMAO!!! The 2009 one is on right now…and the final is on this coming Saturday. Nope…you can’t watch on malaysian tv so do like me – watch the clips on youtube – like Britain’s got talent! You DO know Susan Boyle, don’t you? LOL!!!
lol.. I think you’ll be more pissed if you happen to be voting and the person you voted got voted out!
Ya…I guess so too! But I voted Jac Victor…and she won! Hehehehehe!!!!
I’ve not been following any reality shows lately.. just don’t have the time or interest for it anymore
I know. Your life centres around your kid…
ive always thought stacey is a real eyecandy but tbh, danyl is still the better singer of the last remaining 3.
Stacey? You need new glasses? OK…from her eyes upwards she looks like Leona Lewis…but her face as a whole – she looks like Barbara Streisand. Give Joe a wig and a dress, he’ll look prettier! May even pass off as one of the two lady judges! Don’t they all look alike? Hahahahaha!!!!
Not following x factor, but i still think Adam is still pretty awesome performer! Saw him in Ellen’s! May get his album!
Humph! Weren’t you rooting for Kris then? LOL!!! You can click the video links and watch – Danyl’s really good! He says he’s bi but his friends say he’s gay… Read this in some websites.
