+James Corrigan they kind of ruined him if you ask me , i think the judges felt he had a big head you should watch the serious he is smiling but forcing it to smile he was hammered by at least one of the judges it knocked his confidence and his performances suffered regardless he was by far the most talented to grace the x factor stage raw talent to be honest he didn't need x factor he could have made it alone
He was nervous before he started singing!!!! 😳😳 There was no need to be nervous Danyl. This guy can really sing! Some people are born to resonate and perform at the same time, and he is enjoying it together with the audience. Found this video four years ago, and i still have goose bumps listening to him even today (20 February 2023).
wow i still remember this when it was shown on tv..my god, looking back at years.lmao im addicted to xfactor.million times i, people have said they hated this tv show, but we all come back and watch it over and over again, this is iconic, xfactor u done the brittish, the UK PROUD.
I haven't seen any of the british X-factor shows, since i live in another country. But wether this guy won or not, he made a GIANT accomplisment by walking onto a stage, sing for 20 seconds, and move the entire building!!!! Wow, just wow!
What's impressive about this audition is he doesn't know if he is good, he gets cheered on and does better and better and better and it never stopped making you want more. That's hard to do.
ashley grant The media hounded the poor bloke, if I remember correctly they dug up dirt from years ago and claimed he was a wife beater etc etc, his votes went right down just before the finals. Simon thought he was too cocky aswell but that didn't effect the votes too much, but once the media started hammering him that was the end of his chances of being the winner. Am I the only one who remembers this?
I’ve been around for 72 years now and I’ve seen Joe Coker done so many ways and this young man has done it right. Not sayin better than Joe but in his way the best ever.
Dani undermined him and tried very hard too make sure he was eliminated. She was so nasty on camera during the show that at one point Simon started talking over her and scolded her. Danyl still sings and entertains when he can. At first I hoped that Simon would help him get a good deal to help his career but apparently it never happened. I hope Danyl is living a good life and that he is happy.
And I thought no one could be better than the hot model teacher at my school until I saw Danyl and his amazing talent. I'm so jealous of his students right now ;(
Indeed, this guy is truly amazing and genuinely gifted. He suffered criticism with later performances because they didn't match the energy of this one. The judges did not even realize that he had set the standard so high that they even judged him against his own performance. Even though no one else could match him, they criticized him rather than acknowledging his once in a lifetime great performance.
I'm completely comfortable in saying that he is an extremely handsome guy and super talented! He was put on this earth to do what he did on that stage. Wow!!!
For any of you who watch these shows wondering why this or that boy or girl didn't get it, even though they sang pretty etc etc. THIS is that X factor.. you can just SEE this guy on a stage and performing. This is what they look for.
I still think as of January 2023 that this is the best auction EVER!! Love this guy!!
ABSOLUTELY
Why wasn’t he a superstar. His voice and presence on stage is fantastic
This is the best audition by a singer I ever saw
Probably because his first love is Teaching! I know that kind of LOVE ❤ . Rewarding!
Why am I crying😢that was a heck of a performance I felt it in my soul he engaged the audience and the judges he definitely has star quality💯🔥🔥🔥🥰💕
He shook those judges and audience actually what a confident phenomenal performer and singer ❤️💕.
How the fuck is this guy not famous, amazing singer and an amazing performer with an amazing personality!!
+James Corrigan they kind of ruined him if you ask me , i think the judges felt he had a big head you should watch the serious he is smiling but forcing it to smile he was hammered by at least one of the judges it knocked his confidence and his performances suffered regardless he was by far the most talented to grace the x factor stage raw talent to be honest he didn't need x factor he could have made it alone
+James Corrigan I read some where that he supposedly was abusive or something to girls in the house and he was basically run off the show
its not just the singing, the guy has full control of the stage,he dominade the stage like crazy,and he's fun to watch,that's the more important thing
I wouldn’t agree more. You are so correct
This has to be one of the BEST auditions I have ever seen in my life!!!!
Hyram Bautista The guy never got famous after this
Ditto!
hey
he seems to have so much fun on stage!! i love this.
I never thought I would ever totally agree with Simon, but I do. This is the best audition I've ever seen.
This is back when X Factor was actually full of talent...
Amazing performance, working the crowd, Brilliant!!
He would clean up in today's show
Wow amazing voice man. God surely blessed you❤️
He was nervous before he started singing!!!! 😳😳 There was no need to be nervous Danyl. This guy can really sing! Some people are born to resonate and perform at the same time, and he is enjoying it together with the audience. Found this video four years ago, and i still have goose bumps listening to him even today (20 February 2023).
I love his style soo much and how he got everyone excited... Brilliant singing.. You rock Danny!
He should have won
Still brilliant after all these years! Daniel you were robbed.
I know he was a diamond and some of the thorns turned against him
I never feel bored to watch this ( Danyl Johnson )
Me too all time :-)
Angie Smith
thanks Angie,..we have the same feeling....hahahaha
This is by far the best I have seen. Thank you for this performance Danyl you just made my day :)
When Simon gives you a standing ovation, you KNOW that you are amazing!
I've seen this video several times and I get chills every time...wow!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!
amazing. i just cant explain how much energy and confidence he had- wow im amazed
This guy owns the stage, from the moment he walks out to the end. And as Simon said, it is by far the best audition I have ever seen.
Yes it was he was amazing but they ganged up
On him the women judges turned against him made me so mad
He's what I call a great performer.
All these years later I still love this performance. That wasn't just a audition.
He owned the stage ! I love him
OMG!!!!!!!!!! I love his singing, his performing and most of all his soul!!!!
amazing vocals and range, fab to watch! simply the best, so sad he never got further .....
I watch this over and over,,can't get him out of my brain..Bless his pea pickin heart!!
wow i still remember this when it was shown on tv..my god, looking back at years.lmao im addicted to xfactor.million times i, people have said they hated this tv show, but we all come back and watch it over and over again, this is iconic, xfactor u done the brittish, the UK PROUD.
It's just like his own concert. Bravo!
I LOVE HIS VOICE....such passion....
What a great audition i think his a big star already..
Damnnnn.... he singing like a superstar,.. i like you dude...
Well that certainly blew the roof off!
I have never seen Simon smile like that ever. That guy really blew him away.. :)
everytime i see this,i get goose bumps!!!! and i just keep watching it over and over...i love his command of the stage!!!
He's a great showman! He masters the whole stage not just his singing.
Yes Simon said it
Best first audition ever
dont you just love it when simon smiles? That's when you know you got a star on the stage:)
I like that he actually enjoyed himself. Very talented.
coolest fucking techer ever XD
You need to be taught how to spell teacher
JD Wagler lol..
JD Wagler you need to learn how not to be an ass. how was that?
lmao why are you so mad?
Brill
I haven't seen any of the british X-factor shows, since i live in another country. But wether this guy won or not, he made a GIANT accomplisment by walking onto a stage, sing for 20 seconds, and move the entire building!!!! Wow, just wow!
i never get tired of watching him perform....love it!
No.l Don,t.either.he,s.great.
How did he not become a superstar? It was so sad what those judges did to him - he had the talent to become a huge superstar!
What happened?
Joe would be proud Danyl. U killed it 🔥
If anyone can make Simon stand up smiling and clapping...you have just seen a miracle!!!A very Outstanding performance indeed:-)
He set the standard for live auditions
What's impressive about this audition is he doesn't know if he is good, he gets cheered on and does better and better and better and it never stopped making you want more. That's hard to do.
I love seeing people who deserve to be happy: happy.
Wish this dude was my teacher he would be so fun
This still gives me goosebumps !!! How can Cher ' No Talent ' Lloyd get 19million views and this gets only 120k !!
Shocking
i always watch this for inspiration... he's so humble and talented.. and the audience loves him
That was so well thought out down to every move, every look, every smile... kudos
I could watch this over and over and over and over...
That was by far the best thing I have ever seen on that the X Factor.
MY EARS ARE CRYING BECAUSE OF SO MUCH TALENT!!
omfg i proper fancied him when i watched that season!
Damn Danyl
One of THE best auditions ever!
Man , can he lick his lips !
Unbelievable Audition for this video ❤❤🔥🔥
This man should of went on to be a massive star. The media ruined him.
What did the media do to him?
gary james
ashley grant The media hounded the poor bloke, if I remember correctly they dug up dirt from years ago and claimed he was a wife beater etc etc, his votes went right down just before the finals. Simon thought he was too cocky aswell but that didn't effect the votes too much, but once the media started hammering him that was the end of his chances of being the winner. Am I the only one who remembers this?
gary james ikr
D.J. ...I look at that first audition video almost ever day. It makes me smile and feel right. It was a great song and you made it greater. Thankyou
What's happened to the music industry, when such phenomenal talent like this slips through the cracks..
This man can sing!!!
wish my teachers looked like him lol..he has a fantastic voice..good for him
This man really has the x factor!
After they said all that the public dropped him and said that he was to confident!! I think he is great !
I’ve been around for 72 years now and I’ve seen Joe Coker done so many ways and this young man has done it right. Not sayin better than Joe but in his way the best ever.
wow, standing ovation from Simon no less!! Awesome!!!
Without a doubt , THE best ever X Factor 1st Audition !! Why isn't he more famous ?
Dani undermined him and tried very hard too make sure he was eliminated. She was so nasty on camera during the show that at one point Simon started talking over her and scolded her. Danyl still sings and entertains when he can. At first I hoped that Simon would help him get a good deal to help his career but apparently it never happened. I hope Danyl is living a good life and that he is happy.
coolest best freakin' first audition of the century!!! made my day mate:
Danyl, where are you????....it's been 3 years since you thrilled us with this fab audition....why are'nt you topping the charts???? xx
i watch this video every day! its so insperational, he is so talented! the stage is his home....... he has made me proud to be a student
What a great audition, i think he is a big star already
I just love watching him perform
He charmed the hell out of those female judges. lol!
i could listen to this forever!It is indeed the best audition ever.....i've heard it 57 times already...and i'm not done yet :))
And I thought no one could be better than the hot model teacher at my school until I saw Danyl and his amazing talent. I'm so jealous of his students right now ;(
He freakin killed it!
He's the real good one. Cant compare.
Indeed, this guy is truly amazing and genuinely gifted. He suffered criticism with later performances because they didn't match the energy of this one. The judges did not even realize that he had set the standard so high that they even judged him against his own performance. Even though no one else could match him, they criticized him rather than acknowledging his once in a lifetime great performance.
I like his licking of the lips . Like a happy cow !
wauw this is so good it's indeed the best audition ever

I'm completely comfortable in saying that he is an extremely handsome guy and super talented! He was put on this earth to do what he did on that stage. Wow!!!
