The X Factor's Danyl Johnson on Today Show, 8/27/09

[honourhillcann]

people need to accept that everyone has a different taste and opinion and there's nothing wrong with that. the only thing that makes it wrong is when people come and publish abuse from behind their keyboards like the cowards they are. i'm not saying this because 'i love danyl, he's amazing' but he's a person just like you and i who has done nothing wrong. you people let the media influence you and your opinions far too much. you're being manipulated by the media and it's about time you realised.

[jackielpuma]

HE HONESTLY DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING. HE IS TOO ETHNIC LOOKING TO BE ACCEPTED. IF HE HAD LIGHTER SKIN AND COLORED EYES THEN HE WOULD HAVE WON. THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH IGNORANCE AROUND.

[JuicyDouchie]

hes so fit!

[LoveFuturePresent]

Gosh finally I found a video of him where I can comment..all I wanted to say was he is one sexy motherfucker =)

[AimeeSplojj]

Where did this come from that he's a bully, or is cocky? I met him yesterday and he is literally one of the nicest guys I've ever met and so talented :) so fuck anyone who says otherwise!

[SlobbyCatMan]

JOE MCFUCKEREY IS A KLAMYDIA BITCH. FACK U MOTHERBITCH U SUCK A BANANA.. LOLOLOLOLO

all im trying to say is danyl should have won lol

[SlobbyCatMan]

JOE MCFUCKEREY IS A KLAMYDIA BITCH. FACK U MOTHERBITCH

[tech4156]

his whole x factor thing got messed up coz the newspapers found out he is bi-sexual and they started talking about it on the show. so he just kinda gave up towards the end.

[ricktvpass]

He made Simon smile. He got a standing applause from all the judges. This must be the "x factor"!

[bowsandties22]

Can.you.marry.me?

[TheMJ4everluver]

Can I marry him?

[Rawr5649]

whats he doing now?

[linkawc332]

Show became a popularity contest not a skill contest.

[tranphusy]

I wonder why he didn't win the competition????

[masonokamikaze]

მომღერალი არის საშუალო. თუ ის არის ძალიან კარგი, მაშინ მას აქვს კონტრაქტი და იქნება გაყიდვის ბევრი ჩანაწერი. მას არც

[lulututu9899]

8-27-09 waz mt birth day

[bydrew]

[DanylsFanyls]

[aepps20012001]

He is Amazing!! And Sexy as ever!! HOT!!

[Tanyalovesshane]

i thought it was wonderful i catch meself watching it over and over. it was a spectacular performance bravo.

[SeboZax7]

Judges got to divisive, cost him the competition. He did so perfect at first audition he could not repeat it. It was a magical moment.

[jhody12345]

Man he is great,Im from the USA

[tomlennon1000]

best singer ever to go on the show and its a fucking joke he didnt win, when he sang purple rain it was like fuck me this guy is mind blowing ....i still dont get how he didnt win

[nandochickenwing]

Your an embarrasment to Reading.

[perfectlyjust]

@nandochickenwing

DANYL JOHNSON WORLD LIVE TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

BOOK NOW, BOOK NOW,BOOK NOW,BOOK NOW.

Danyl's WORLD TOUR kicks off at BUTLINS HOLIDAY CAMP in SKEGNESS on 6 August.

No other dates have been announced but PONTINS HOLIDAY CAMP are rumoured to be interested in booking Danyl for 2011, or maybe 2012 or oh well let's not bother.....

[drezone]

@perfectlyjust I am a fan of Mr. Johnson, but this is TOOOO funny!!! LMAO!!!

[perfectlyjust]

@drezone

nice to know there's one fan of his with a sense of homour !!!!!!

[icecreamandchocolate]

NO WAY!!!! IM FROM READING :L hes a babe and thats comming from a 14 year old maybe hes not your style but hes definately not an embarassment :)

[terratopo]

but how did went out of x factor??

people didn't vote or what???

[GeamProducts]

He's pretty good-looking for a teacher!

[superpigzscreenz]

He definitely should have won in 2009, I thought that as soon as I saw his audition. He had the best voice out of all the contestants and I didn't think he was arrogant at all, that image of him was all conjured up by the media.

[NASA19]

its 12 mil now he shoud of won

[djkappaus]

Yea I agree he should of Won! What a mistake in 2009 selecting Joe as the winner!

[perfectlyjust]

didn't quite work out for the bullying ego that is Danyl.

never going to be signed by any record company - that's the reality.

LOL - 6 months from now he'll be totally forgotten.

and rightly so.

bullies never win.

LOL.

[EddyfuckinD]

@perfectlyjust how is he a bullying ego?

[ladylolamusic]

What is the song that he sings?

He's amazing!!

[IAmKingBonzo]

apple pie and cheerios are two of favourite types of food. Sausag sandwich or toast?

[perfectlyjust]

BULLY

[BeanieBasstard]

If that was the case he'd be thrown off.

[perfectlyjust]

Today Simon Cowell signed Jedward to Sony records.

Danyl - never.

LOL

[BeanieBasstard]

Was actually Louis, not Simon.

[perfectlyjust]

@BeanieBasstard

same thing - Cowells label Syco is part of Sony group.

[perfectlyjust]

@BeanieBasstard

Simon Cowell has passed on the chance to sign X Factor stars Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon and Danyl Johnson to his record label. A source told The News Of The World: Simon has decided he wont have anything to do with them in a professional sense going forward.

[BeanieBasstard]

He's already been picked up he's got an A&R man and now he has alot of independent labels interested in him.

[Ana90tgn]

How can you say that? You don't even know him..:/

[crazycoco1028]

I loved him at the start, then he got nasaly or something. Best of luck to him in his career.

[dat1hmonglyguy]

@superx57

wut u just said was some bullshit look wut the paparazzi does to all the celebrities here in the states... as if theyre not humans like us.. fuckin idiots

[superx57]

The Brits were so horrible to Danyl. We would've never treated him like that in the States. He deserved so much better...

[shaigy24]

cunt

[TheMadncrazy]

I h8 the accent he sings with it's so annoying

[yaniBoon]

Don't fucking listen to his music then

[rizalflatkid]

then you sing!!! you have your own world...

[coolserge72]

you ha te somebody's accent..there are hundreds of accents in the UK, do you hate them?...do you h8 cheryl's accent as well?

[perfectlyjust]

agree - he is vile.

deserved to lose.

[JcVen]

Fantastic!

[beautifulthesong]

i love danyl he fit ans sexy foreva danyl <3<3<3<3

[sebbex2x]

He sounds like Gavin DeGraw :D

[PapuRaluca]

wow .. he's so ... perfect

[mrsyas1]

why do you watch it then if you hate him? Go away danyl is brilliant and your not! end off =)

[abbeels84]

i hate this cunt! hope he dies a slow and painfu death! hate his famiily too! fuckin bastard

[jgmcosta]

just because you hate him?

[LittleStacker2]

wat did he sing?

[roymeerdink]

with a little help from my friends - joe cocker

[2601andrew]

he should have won - the rest had good voices but he had a GREAT voice!

[TheHassaanMPersonal]

I made a petition to get Danyl a record deal because he was one of the best singers of the competition so read the description and sign the petition we need 250 so please sign

[BusterBloodvessel]

@TheHassaanMPersonal

Why do you think he needs your help to get a record deal?

[TheHassaanMPersonal]

I made a petition to help him get a record deal because I think he is a great singer. I am trying to promote it here and trying to get more signatures.

[BusterBloodvessel]

OK, fair enough.

The point I was trying to make is that he has no worries - he is so good he will make a fortune in the record business. I would have thought there are record companies queuing up to sign him.

[coolserge72]

same difference, rydian and all those rubbish got record deals...so, Danyl is miles better than this year winner...you'll even won't know it if he got a deal and calmly working on his single...

[coolserge72]

you are so pathetic, he doesn't need your help for that, moron...you'll even never know if he's actually weighing some deals

[TheHassaanMPersonal]

[tigreslokos]

WHO WON AGT 2009??????????

[godpur3pk]

i just cannot beleive he went out he was the best in the competition he also had the highest number of votes in 3 of the weeks than other people i just think he got unlucky i wanted him to win from the moment i saw him and i didnt change my mind its just annoying how he went out he should of won...

He had the second most highest votes than everyone else its just stupid.

Btw jamie archer shouldnt of went out over Lloyd lmao i think Lloyd is rather good but cmon lmao jamie archer was better.

[queenJC99]

@godpur3pk Jamie sounded abit Nickleback and Lloyd was given the wrong songs like for example I kissed a girl in rock week.

[asdfjkl5996]

omg love danyl sooooo much he was bi far the best singer in the comp shud have won...... i dont get y alot of ppl dont like him cos i think he is just unreal :D love ya danyl :D

[thurstable]

So glad he went, shows next to no one likes him !!

[xSi0frax]

if no one likes him then why did u get 6 tumbs down for saying that (;

[shirleee6]

do not like him he has no humility

[blueeyedbboy]

i think he done an amazing version of careless wisper, he should def do a cover of that!

[Dtisfit]

He is incredible, and anybody who says other wise holds zero music integrity. Sure, you can dislike his style of singing as you can with any singer, but saying he's just generally rubbish is a blatant lie and highlights the mentality of the people thinking so. I predict good things for this guy. Very good things.

Oh, and the fact that he didn't win? Absolute joke.

[chrisdtbaxter]

AMEN!!!!

[crazyaadil]

hes amazing

he was da only 1 dat could crack the US and da world

now da finalists cant go global

theyll just be big in da UK

danyl was the rightful winner

hope he gets a record deal!

[RenaudAudenaerde]

indeed! everyone here in Belgium is talking about him... he should NOT have gone!

[LiiNDA321]

DANYLS WICKED!

[allutza18]

you guys are stupid! he was one of the best male singers in the competition! who cares about his personality? it's a singing contest!!! lol

[joiner002]

hes shit end of.

[kingofpunk1977]

danyl shit

[NAEIRNBRUFORU]

SO glad he left.

[joiner002]

im glad hes out

[tee4cross]

you were never in

[joiner002]

you were never in. what kind of reply is that.your a clown

[lovenevthebear14]

OMG!!! Can You believe he went out last Sunday!!! I was sat on my living room floor crying and being really Depressed coz he was amazing!!! If Danyl Johnson ever reads this, (No one go against me here) I am his biggest fan ever. Sounds preety sad but he was my favourite to win and I am gutted that he left!!! Well done to his class for getting him to audition!!!

[lauranh666]

i didnt really like him omg cant wait for the final joe to win!!!

[aidious]

How can anyone think Danyl is a good singer? He is a seriously bad singer. You have to be deaf not to know this. Watch any of his efforts. Watch the first group performance in show 1. OUT OF TUNE. BIG TIME. He is OK singing the high notes, he's seem to have more control over his voice then. But anything lower than a shout and he is totally out of tune. Anyone who believes otherwise is an impressionable idiot who believes what Simon Cowell says. Seriously guys. Just listen back.

[ALLL135]

You know what, he's got a nice personality I guess, but he cannot sing! So true!

[JetsToBrazil05]

wow for some reason i wanna punch you, sry.... at the guy winning the competition is better? the music business needs someone like him, not another little corny singer!

[aidious]

Ha ha ha. 4th!

[sorana2188]

I always loved UK people but i sometimes think you have hearing problems. Danyl can't sing in a low key at all and he's often out of tune in a low to medium key. He can only sing in a high key.

I also loved his first audition, but...that's it.

And i don't think he's cocky - the only one cocky from day one was Olly, who btw has nothing special to his voice.

Rachel, Miss Frank, Lucie and Joe - the only real talents in this show.

Now i'm waiting for the thumps down. How many can i collect?:D

[zoevoy]

i stop watching x factor now ,,since my Danyl was gone,,3 shit up there!!

[tee4cross]

Me too. He has got that something....

[shopj1957]

No accounting for peoples tastes, I guess! Danyl is a polished, amazing singer- he will be a superstar. The finals should have been him with joe. Eagerly awaiting your cd, Danyl!!!!

[MissSexiGirl2009]

Danyl should of won he was by far the best

[correcta888]

yes is true. i wont watch x factor , now is bored, really...the rest singers are like karaoke,

[Shreddah]

Wow, Olly beat him. UK surely has a poor taste for musicianship, deplorable.

[jayjong1977]

agreed Shreddah, olly's not a great singer

[royalcollage]

load of crap,shame the twat has gone,cya at butlins batty boy

[AllanSexyGuy]

Ok now I now that the howl british population is Tasteless. Danyl was absolutely the best singer, and you let three morons to potentially win the show, shame on you fuckers!

[austgirl34]

why the hell did the public not vote for danyl..?? whats going on here, this guy is brilliant...makes no sense to me...

[mattguedande]

what f...mistake they made in take the guy out, that's it for me .the show has no more meaning for me...

[oOLordMooneYOo]

Maybe the public might release how stupid they are when joe wins and brings out that one single and they never see him again, and Danyl is in the charts and properly in the US charts

[spaffo]

you hit the nail on the head there! ive been arguing my case with all the joe lovers hahaha, watch this space as simon said! danyl will have the most success!!!

[rawfood4me]

No disrespect to the final three, but the best man's gone.

[LivingLegend2000]

I have vowed not to watch the X Factor coz it has become a joke!! After the early exit of Miss Frank and instead of Jedwards and of course with Danyl not going through to the final it has made X Factor like a karaoke contest!! shame on you to the producers of the X Factor!

[WeezySilviu]

totally agree with you...Miss Frank should've made it at least a few more live shows....lucie should've been into the final, because Stacey is just random, Joe is so boring...Danyl should've won it.....Fuck the X factor...

[danpedro50]

Good singer but i'm glad he's gone.

[correcta888]

so are u english for sure, haha, contradictions. in you words...he is amazing. ok...

[danpedro50]

@correcta888 Weird comment doesn't make a lot of sense go learn how to write.

[correcta888]

so explain why are u glad he s gone if he is the best singer. !!!!!

[danpedro50]

@correcta888 I don't need to explain anything get a life mate it's a tv show the way you're going on about it you would think it's the end of the world.

[umbigo333]

The votes should be all over europe because i could vote for danyl to win the x factor. And make sense my statment because the x factor it's avalable on youtube for everyone to see...so we should be part of the process too.

[zmarj2]

SORE BUM!

[SirHappyThe1st]

Danyl Johnson has such a powerful voice and a great stage presence. I for one am upset that the best singer in the competition has gone in the semi final.

[theworldisbonkers]

NEWS REPORT

Danyl 'The Plonker' Johnson is FINALLY out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnnyp156]

if it was x-factor take it in the bum competition.

the dirty fag would win hands down and mickeys up!

[heavensonfire1]

well we all know simon doesnt want thes best voice n most enertaining left in danyl or the (second) most enertaining to win in olly coz the bright sparks on gone and picked a Disney teen ballad to be the winner's single.

[leighton161]

lucie jones was the best singer.. much better than this cocky twat.

[heavensonfire1]

cocky haha olly n joe are more cocky then danyl do one.

[correcta888]

fuck off idiot danyl is the best one, even is not on x factor rubbish competitin for me now

i wont watch it..anymore...i think in the final must be lucie, jamie and danyl no this idiots silly singers. ...u miss lots of people x factor..

[leighton161]

lucie is a far superior singer to danyl.... FAR SUPERIOR....

[correcta888]

DONT MAKE ME LAUGH JAJAJ, she is nice , but just like stacey..2 bored girls..blaba

[SCRWOOD]

WHAT A FUCKING WIMP

[Dave1986KKB]

he's so fiiiiiiiiine!!!!

[JaredPfan01]

He's amazing, i keep watching the first audition it's great!! He should be in the final 3 and i'm annoyed about the judges saying he's too cocky when he is not!!! When someone is shy on stage they always say you should have confidence and Danyl has that but they keep picking on him saying his cocky. He can sing and they should leave him alone!

[VinylJunkie55]

Do a search on you tube for "The X Factor Song (2009)" It's the song that Simon Cowell should be giving to this yeras winner for the Xmas No1

Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!

[boxingbc1]

Haters are a dime a dozen. Haters hate because their pathetic asses envy the level that someone else is at, and can't to that level on their own merit.

[nicolaback]

stop being mean to him!!!! you don't even know the guy , people are so judgemental and have no shame , this is disgusting the way you are treating him he is a human too

[dino8603]

wow,wow, super

[renarde]

this guy is overrated. he was given two awesome songs, feeling good and aerosmith dont wanna miss a thing, and he completely murdered them, he aint gonna win, he's like a one hit wonder still riding on his first audition, british public are dumb sumtimes but still with that said, he's got something he public like, mayb its his annoyin speech impediment, or the fact his tongue is too big for his mouth xD

[MMMMaaaahhhhaaaatttt]

dude you just made the gayest comment of your life this guy is the real deal id like to see him become even more famous than he is today and by the way he has accomplished more than you will ever in your life so back off

[jpas1000]

He have amazing voice and great performance idea. I don't understand when someone says ' ohh he is bi...' He is not my best friend, He isn't my boyfriend. I don't know him, but when Danyl is on the stage I have a lot of fantastic and extreme emotions. This is a music competition, not the sweetest guy or something els. So for me is verry funny this all Danyls thing if the point of this, it isn't a music.

[correcta888]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH U., HE IS THE BEST. and now 3 idiots on the final...

[honourhillcann]

please give danyl a second chance, think of his first audition, and all the little kids he'd inspire.

[correcta888]

yes is a good idea. nobody will watch x factor,to show respect to danyl..really is very very sad...is like LEMAR would be expulsed. when he won.....danyl is great , idiot people

[honourhillcann]

the way everyone is being towards danyl is pretty harsh and over the top, everyone should know by now that the press like to exagerrate things because they get money out of it - people shouldn't beleive everything they hear. even if he wanted to bully stacey, he wouldn't because he's smart enough to know that it'd get out eventually and he wouldn't let that happen if he wanted to win. talent wise, everyone should know he has the best vocals and nicest voice. J&E are merely entertainers.

[philipem01]

Yeah I'm concerned he had a down week (accoring to some of the judges, tho I thot he was 2nd to Joe only) and this is such a tight competition he might be eliminated.

He's not POPULAR but he's at least one of the three best SINGERS and performers in this year's bunch. My ideal final would be Danyl, Joe, Stacey.

[SarahKW71]

He is so cute and talented - who cares if he is bi or not? In answer to Aaron Pinkney - he is mixed race - his mum is white but i havent seen a picture of his dad

[barbiegirlyhyh]

I love Danyl!! Hope he wins!

[mrsyas1]

agreeed to

MrArekusa

[MrArekusa]

I don't see how he is even cocky or over-confident.. I just think that's how he performs.

He performs like a world-class star, which is good, even though he probably doesn't think he's that good. I think it all comes naturally to him. You don't want someone on stage all shy and frowning because they're underconfident. I like this guy.

[kupalpalpal]

may i know wats the title of the song? tnx

[6eloved]

Lord. He's amazing, I'd marry him.

[Dendenluvsfame]

i love him to the core... seriously he has got the looks...the boday ..the voice..the confidence and the love...he will win it..i feel...

[PazzyBeiProductions]

He sounds so stereotypically British in this interview... "The Pub Quiz" lol I love it.

[actressindemaking]

Haha, I was thinking the same thing, lol!

He HAS to win!!
