Dannii Minogue sorry over X Factor comment to Danyl Johnson

[kettlesarenice]

I dont get what Dani meant or even said

[emmaovdoggy]

I know it was a joke and everything, but there was really no need to tell the world, on live television that he was gay/bi, that has nothing to do with the competition or his singing ability!

[dollofvoodoo]

Who cares if he's gay, straight or bi. It wasn't a competition about his sexual preference but his ability to sing there by making her comment unnecessary and ignorant.

[MsTorreslover]

Just a joke .. a joke over someone's career .. Will young's popularity went down after he came out as gay.

Why would she need to bring sexuality up in a singing competion ... It was out of order and that's it,

[manwithoutfriends]

@MsTorreslover

no it didnt because will young didnt HAVE a career before he came out.

dannii didnt out danyl, it was already all over the news anyway.

[MsTorreslover]

@manwithoutfriends Actually he did have a career, he won the most popular singing competition in Britain, and after he came out his popularity took a fall.

Also just because it's in the newspapers doesn't mean everyone has seen it, danii brought all these little whispers off screen and compounded and strengthen them for everyone to see, it was mean. A person should have their own choice as to when they should come out. And once again, Why was his sexuality commented on in a SINGING competition?

[manwithoutfriends]

@MsTorreslover

will young came out as soon as he won the show, and since then hes sold over 4million albums and 2million singles. aside from girls aloud hes by far the most successful act to come from a reality show (i don't count leona lewis or alexandra burke because they are still *very* early on and could always fade into obscurity).

the x factor is NOT a singing competition, its a star search (hence the name). and danyl wasn't in the closet to begin with AS IVE ALREADY SAID.

[zman7117]

Danyl was amazing and each week they picked him apart. Seriously the best singer of the competition and yet they were more concerned with his hair, attitude, sexuality. Danyl should have won!!

[Pam4Rob]

well I mean come on she pretty much outted him to everyone on national television, Not everyone reads rag mags. But a lot of people do watch that show, and I had no idea until I heard her comment about it. I thought it was a cheap shot, it should have stayed back stage, not on stage, and her apology was pathetic, at the end she said, I knew exactly what I was saying.. come on, you snooty twat. You fucked up, just leave it as that.

[Giovannisenzaterra]

@Pam4Rob Geee it was JUST a joke!!

[Pam4Rob]

@Giovannisenzaterra - joke or not, she could have ruined his career before he even began one.

[naturalmystic33]

Dannii who?

[Charsiupao]

Some people are just ultra-defensive and see persecution even when it doesn't exist. Only if you believe that that an adjective is offensive would you be upset, so just be proud of who you are. Dannii and Danyl have no problems talking about these things openly and without shame, so shame on the rest of you.

[SuperCatherineD]

I thought that people had a bigger problem with the irrelevance of the statement than the statement itself. In a singing competition, Danyl Johnson's sexual orientation should have had no bearing on the judgment of his singing and therefore she had no point in bringing it up. I don't think that people should be too angry with her as Danyl didn't seem too upset about it at the time.

[thespeshulkid]

why is calling him gay an insult. you could tell she wasnt attacking him.

[JurasicMan]

I would kick her homophobic dumb ass out of the show!

[manwithoutfriends]

@JurasicMan

dannii is openly bisexual and a gay icon, so dont call her homophobic...

[daveeywaveey]

hang on a minute guys, if u think about it, she was sticking up for him, she was saying to him really "dont be ashamed to say who you are". you never know, he was probably told to say "girl" to please the public. she was defending him and the gay community xxxx

[kamehameha548]

fuck your tits up stupid ITN

[xxkymmi]

It was a cheap shot she did it for attention and to humiliate him

[martyrrockchick75]

@xxkymmi So agree with you, cheap shot from a cheap bitch:)

[Giovannisenzaterra]

@martyrrockchick75 You all should have more sense of humor

[martyrrockchick75]

@Giovannisenzaterra Got nothing to do with soh just can't stand the over-rated ms minogue.

[TheHumanAgenda]

sdaffdssadfsdaffdsa

[nirconn]

It doesn't matter cause she is HHHHHOOOOOTTTT

[Tattedgurlie]

Its bull that comment was unnecessary. She had no right saying anything about his sexuality. Its a singing contest nothing more. That no doubt is what made him lose. She should be suid. His sexuality is no one's business but his. Shame on her.

[Maragsi1913]

that was rude and unnecessary. if he is or isn't gay or bisexual, and i hope he's not, cuz then i'll have to find another future husband. : ), it's not a factor in how good a singer he is. i love danyl johnson!!!! : D

[facianegra]

Of course he said he wasn't offended. what else could he had said? All of us saw how he looked out to the audience and the other judges. He was at her mercy and his carrier on the line, he had to play their game and officially state he wasn't offended. she would never in a million years would get away with this kind of harassment here in the US!!!

[facianegra]

are you serious Elaneban? He was choking he was publicly humiliated. It is one thing to admit who you are or being treated like a piece of shit by an airhead on national television.

[MrAbizness]

i would fucking destroy her pussy.

[victorrattigan]

I don't like Danni,she looks to me like she has issues with herself and everything that she says is outta place.

[YouHaveATinyPenis]

Guys its not a big deal, she apologized and im sure if she realized how uptight and overly sensative people would get she wouldn't of said it. Gosh, you expect these judges to constantly walk on egg shells cause someone might get offended, get over it and move on!

[4624tone]

Tell ya what im homophobic, but, i felt so bad for that dude, on live tv , plus hes a teacher, hes students didnt have to hear that, he could sing, he didnt deserve that, shes a bitch, thats it, too hott for her own good...

[fig9ux]

danni is so hot!!!!!!!

[MizuNotes]

WHATTA BITCH

[catlaw1997]

Dannii basically outed Danyl on world wide television based on tabloid rumors. wth? She should never be allowed to work on live tv again.

[insexmetrust]

Daaannniii should learn how to behave. being a judgedoesn't give you all the rights. and whatever has been said after, when you watch it, you can really feel that nobody appreciated it, the sudden silence in the audience and Danyl's face speak...

[lovesexyhoneys89]

mmmmmm.......Dannii....so sexy

[katie02girl]

just cos she cant sing dun mean she should be takin the mick out of everyone else that has a VOICE!. what does she know about music. The only reason shes famous is because of her sister!. Shes living off her sisters careeer and its wrong

[93smithy]

@katie02girl one she started her singing and acting career before kylie and was massive in aussie before ! also it wasa joke between her and danny from backstage ! and she was hardly taking the mick ! the uk are starting to over adsadurate everything

[meankilla1]

thumbs up if you wanna give Minogue Anul Sex

[wolvesfansupermick]

its the type of thing that if she said it to her mates its funny but on TV people dont laugh lol

[nuburu]

It's a time in a place for everything and having a joking back stage its personal but in public at contest its another it was meant to hurt him. No not against gay's but against him personal.

[MoiselSpecky]

@nuburu I agree. Danni's comment was off base and should not have been said. She was not making a joke - she was trying to make a joke out of DANYL!! I also think that SIMON was way off base at the end of the contest by saying that Danyl was a "gracious LOSER". That was shocking to hear this - and the look on Danyl's face made me want to cry. I love this guy Danyl - he is the very BEST and I wish him all the luck in the future.

May Blessings Fall Upon His Head Gently.

~Moisel~

[1dbad]

@MoiselSpecky Her comment wasn't bad it was just said wrong. And it was most certainly not off base: She was trying to say he should be PROUD of his sexuality and embrace it and not feel pressured to change that song lyric just for the public. It also was a bit of a joke between her and him backstage that she carried to the show and he said he was not offended by it at all. And I seriously doubt Dannii would try to make a joke out of him since she has no reason to.

[MoiselSpecky]

@1dbad She should have had more common sense. Suppose Danyl was not 'out' yet. Maybe he was keeping his personal life out of his working life and/or family life. This joking could have destroyed is career as a teacher and what about his life with his family - some people stay in the closet for YEARS because they don't want their parents or siblings to know the personal business. I just think it was irresponsible of her to take Danyl's life in her hands for a silly PUBLIC joking.

[1dbad]

@MoiselSpecky That's a good point. Actually probably the best I've seen. I suppose she should have used her common sense more, but she probably figured he didn't care. They said he was open about it backstage, and some of the articles that Dannii apparently read said that he admitted it to the press and had no problem with the public knowing. So I could kind of see how after all of that Dannii thought there would be no problem with bringing it up.

[1dbad]

@MoiselSpecky And it's not like she flat out called him anything, she just hinted at it. And she didn't mean it in a bad way. Not to mention, with the press and everything people already knew it anyway. But, in the end the good news is Danyl said he wasn't offended by her comments and didn't have any problems with it, and Dannii apologized to Danyl and anyone she offended so I think we can safely let it go now.

[1dbad]

@MoiselSpecky Especially since it didn't affect his career either -- not that I think sexuality would affect someone's career as a teacher or a musician anyway. Not to mention his orientation is actually bisexual, which is actually less likely to be damaging on your career than being gay or a transsexual oddly enough.

[1dbad]

@MoiselSpecky Not to mention it's just not something she would do. Not only is she nice and fair but she's one of the biggest gay icons in the world and does tons of work for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transvestite rights. It just wouldn't make sense. I think the only reason people have made such a big deal about this is because Danyl was surprised and kind of emotional, and since Simon had such an angry response to Dannii's comment for some reason.

Just my two cents. :)

[1dbad]

@nuburu Dannii has nothing against him, she was just saying she didn't feel that he had to change the song lyric just for the public since he's bisexual. She was actually saying he should embrace who he is more and he even said that wasn't hurt or offended by her comments. I don't see what the big deal is because there is no homophobia or hatred towards Danyl involved in the slightest.

[VizardMaskedSoldier]

Throw the gays down the well

@VizardMaskedSoldier Then you´r going down too with that nick. What a waste of letters you WANKER.

[brightonking69]

Danyl is not bisexual. He is gay! Though it looks easier for the girlie fans if he says Bi so as not to alienate the women.

[Niel8181]

Omg so much drama for a few words..

he probably is a fag so wtf is the problem

and even if he isn't just take it as a joke.

fcking idiotic over-reactors.

[ratsRfab]

I dont think Dannii meant anything by it. I think they made too much of a big deal out of it. Dannii shouldnt have to leave X factor over some comment. Her and Louis are my fave judges, they are both hilarious.

[NinjaSquid099]

public didn't find it funny we did hahahahahahahahah

[jemma2809]

far enough she z tht they wee jokin back stage but we dnt have actual proof and i wouldnt mind not seein her on the judgin panel this year.

[flyingoverafrica]

I'd call it outing and it's not her business.

[lkane90]

Wow...Her remarks at that time were extremely unprofessional and unnecessary. It doesn't matter if it was true or not; her job is to comment on his performance and singing, not his personal life.

[breakout12]

May be he was coming out in front of millions...and you didnt get it Aussie bum.

[demonolagy]

Yeah Danyl wasn't offended blah blah blah but what's the point in even mentioning is sexuality? It makes no difference to his voice what the gender reference was - fireing may be a bit harsh but an apology was in order.

[Sonorite]

Danii meant no harm

[ShyGuy19898]

It doesnt matter if she meant no harm or not, the "hurt" from it is equally the same

[rocky102]

We has a public SHOULD hit her where it hurts and vote foR either ollie OR JOE

[adamps16]

Why the hell should she apologize !!!

[JSTILL2]

well......at least from a USA prospective she was just being honest

[sa4qad]

<3 dannii ... danyl .. go to hell .. ur a women .. every week cry to ur dad simon .. cuz the other judge hurt ur feeling .. !!

wtf .. ur 27 man !!

asshole

[OrganicAndFree]

Yeah I don't like him at all either! I just find him incredibly irritating. Like he never stops fecking crying and apparently he has a really bad temper and is causing loads of drama. He may be a great singer but nobody wants a prick around! Sorry but it had to be said!

[boon12345]

shes australian u idiot. she doesnt even sound british!

[jay2692]

fuck that british hoe

[nickter]

Translation: "I highly respect this well established women, but do not agree with her statement and reject it"

[jay2692]

ok i dont haate her i really am a fan of her sisters but she is not a established woman ive never even heard of heard untill this gay shit incident then i found out she is kileys sister

[Eirinn967]

Lmao, (Y) british shes australian

[jay2692]

omg lol fuck that australian hoe then

[fannatic19]

when i first heard her say that, i inferred it as in she was telling him there was no need to change the lyrics because he should be comfortable with his sexuality and not about what other ppl may think when he sings it to a guy. that's all. she only said there was no need to change the lyrics. what did she even do wrong? what ppl are talking about is a whole load of crap some stupid person inferred about, publicized by the media, then even more stupid people joined in.

[MissObsession86]

Thats what I thought too.

[stefanopazzo77]

Dannii Minogue is jus miss nobody and she is a stupid bitch. she should focus on the voice.

[lilabbiekins1]

I'M SO SICK OF THIS!

It's pathetic that your all still going on about it! just get over it! It was a joke!

He wasn't offended nd she Certainly shouldn't be fired!

THIS WHOLE THING IS RIDICULOUS!

[Elaneban]

Why should she be fired? I'm no fan of her but Danyl wasn't offended! And it was a joke they were having together back stage, everyone needs to calm down everyone just soo soo over the top these days, you cant say anything without being, racist, homophobic, anti this anti that! I dnt think she is homophobic because she was just making a joke towards him. She didn't say anything against gay people!

[MillieEverett511]

@Elaneban he was offended... he started crying!

[maddcow12]

@Elaneban I do think she should be fired. Don't get me wrong, I feel the same way you do. but you're attacking the wrong thing. The point is that Danii IS being accused of homophobia and ignorance. I understand it's unjust, but a person who's been in the spotlight as long as she has MUST know how to deal with the public, especially if she's on one of the most watched shows on tv. Simon Cowell says a lot of bad things too, but never anything that could be construed in such a way as her comment.

[Giovannisenzaterra]

@Elaneban So I wish you English folks showed more respect to Silvio Berlusconi too when he just says or does his innocent jokes

[Geordie1992sex]

Check Out This Great song about Simon Cowell & Co on YOUTUBE

called THE X FACTOR SONG 2009)

[dancetilldead]

People who say they should fire her, are so ridiculous. She shouldn't have said that, but what's the problem? He already said that he's bisexual so what. The only 2 people who are honest and straight forward on their comments, are Dannii and Simon!!!

[abbiesaxmax44]

it was probably a joke and i don't think she said it maliciously. however with the prejudice etc you get with sexuality she shouldn't have said it on tv!

[izzywizzybelle]

She referenced something that was already in the tabloids. I don't see anyone having a go at them for printing it! Most people had already read that Danyl was allegedly bisexual.

[blingbling098]

you guys are Stupid !

ok sure it was a "joke".. but it was a "joke" between her a danyl .. i mean how were the public supposed to know it was a "joke" anyways =S ?!?!?

[yorksingingsensation]

yeah a joke is between 2 people not 12 million :)

[sikhpride123]

it was joke, why is evryone so seriouse, no one can make a joke now wiithout everyone making a big deal about it

[xfactorohh]

oh please. she's a little stupid LOL

[ResentfulButtocks]

Noo!

She's just impulsive!!!

That's all!!!

[xfactorohh]

wathever, i didnt like what did she say.

[FreckleFaceBec]

omg it was just a joke, they even said that danyl and dannii had been joking about it for days before the show. danyl himself said that he wasn't offended, so lay off dannii, she deserves a break and by the looks of things she has the winning category this year -- stacey, lucie and rachel, love them!!

[marcellus2002]

What a bitch, they should fire her straight off and find somebody more competent! Booohooo!

[silven456]

I can see it as a joke ... IF it wasnt in front of millions of people...

[TulipXX]

That bitch danni was  trying to sabotage danyls' chances. He really appeared rattled.

[KevinLord90]

Come on give her a break, it was an in-joke gone wrong. She meant no harm.

[samanthhhax]

it was just a joke, the public are so sensitive, its not like danyl was. he was fine with it. and simon admitted he also went a bit far because they just get so protective over their acts and that dannii is the last person in the world that would do anything diliberatley to hurt any of the contestants. she didnt deserve all those remarks from the public, everyone just needs to calm down ?

[chasingwhispers]

It would just be a joke in your own sitting room, but this is a HUGE national show. It must've been contrived, fair enough. But don't say people reacting to it is over-the-top. I'm glad people realise when something is said out of place. The comment was out of context and it's right to be challenged, even if it was all a "joke" or a publicity stunt in the end. If it makes you feel like a bigger person that you didn't care though, then whatever.

[DitzyStephanie]

What was out of place about her comment?

1. Danyl is bisexual and was already OUT. She wasn't outing him.

2. If it's appropriate to talk about heterosexuality ("Lloyd, you're gonna break hearts!", wrt Ruth "that was sexy, right?") why is bisexuality out of place?

3. Simon is determined to make all male artists look straight. He did it with Austin last year and I've no doubt he was the one who suggested the change of lyrics.

[samanthhhax]

it wasnt out of place, she was saying it out of humour , even though i thought it was more of a serious comment about his sexuality. obviously people read papers and there was something written about him possibly being gay or bi and she was saying he didnt need to change the lyrics so it was about a girl, he should of just left them and not been worried about changing them to not sound gay x

even if hes gay or not gay, she was saying be yourself, which is what the shows about tbh x

[qualiaccc]

it's a fuckin' stupid homo he himself addmited so fuck him. danni it's right saying that so the public should know the thruth from the beggining; dont forget abou kandy rain; the truth was told about them; why not about danyl too? dannii u did good!

[ed1ss]

Hmm, lets think:

If its a singing competition, who gives a fuck where danyl puts his penis. Unless he doesn't get it out on stage then its not a problem.

Then she said it was a joke, is it somekind of weird Austrailian humour? "G'day mate, wanna put some more steaks on the Barby and get me a can of fosters? You faggot" HAHAHAHA.

Stupid fucking aborigionee, yer capital punishment sounds good. Lynch the stupid fucking hogg, she won't be missed.

[westongirl17]

glad she said sorry... it was out of order and she should leave the show..

[yuchoobstalker]

bring back capital punishment

[khiljiauto]

She is absolutely right. No need to apologizeee. This fag is idiot.

[chefdpedro]

i believe on her, god created just man and a woman.

[stonejame1]

OMG the public are little pussys arnt they. god like its such a bad comment. People really need to get grips!

[jesreajils]

Any human who tries to insult another esp. on live television deserves at the very least to get 2,500 complaints... I wish there had been more! Ashiqbiz maybe you need to get a life.

[bigchrislondon]

Sack Her !

[ashiqbiz]

Why would you do that? GET A LIFE!!

[loleta88]

Those 2500 Brits who protested need to get a life!!!

[myfriendsuggested]

i complained :\

[ashiqbiz]

then you are an idiot!!

[callofdutyfish]

0:09 why r u just starin at her happy sacks?

0:26 is it a bird is it a plane no its afro boy

wtf is so bad about bisexual u douche(the beaver woman on the xfactor)Danyl is a fucked up little retarded pedeofilli douche filled shitforbrains of an excuse for a singer and her singing soundlike chubacca with throat cancer(no offenceto anyone with it) she sings like a walrus thts been smacked round the head with a flat ended shovel

[Megahtash]

she better not eave she did nothing wrond just leave her alone

[AlexDCl]

As if there was owt to say sorry for, all 4 of her critics can take a walk.

[Emunglydoodah64]

Oh my god! Leave her alone! It was just a passing comment! Whats the big deal?! What she said was true anyway! My god people over react!

[raythespian]

She's putting her most smiley face on it. What a fucking phony.

[Msczekolada]

people really should stop blowing things out of proportion & look for cheap sensation, if he'd felt offended he would say sth... unless he's (great looking & singing) sissy...

[madder128]

Everyone complains about everything now.

Freespeech people should keep there traps shut. Danni spoke hardly spoke in a malicious way and was meant to be a bit of humour.

If Danyl had a problem then he should of complained, not the viewing public like usual.

[fruitsygirl]

he seemed upset by it at the time. even if they were joking about it before the show it was still a very unprofessional and callous thing to say on national tv.

I hope it does blow over though. I don't think Danni meant it as a hurtful jibe, she's till my fav judge.

[TomoG69]

I think its totally out of context, u can tel she were tryin 2 make him laugh!!! It's more of an insult makin a deal out of it!!! so wat she sed he was bi! He is.... he aint ever denied it! The fact simon made a big fuss is ridiculous!! I hope Dannii wins the show just to annoy all you that think you have the right to complain!!! lol x

[lisacafegirl]

she sould be sorry

[dramaticafantastica]

jeeze, it's not that big a deadl, is it? it's not like she was calling him anything or using his sexuality to hurt him, she was just making a comment, might not have been that funny and maybe that wasn't the perfect place for that sort of joke, but to be fair she could've said aloooooot worse.

[JustB3NJI]

Its not the worst thing she could have said. Remember when she said 'boxfresh'

I think she had a point though, why change the gender referance, gay stright or whatever, it's only a friggin song, the fact that they changed it says more to me than what Danni said.
