Danyl Johnson: The Next Susan Boyle?
There's nothing we can say about Danyl Johnson that wasn't summed up perfectly by the most critically honest judge on reality TV:
“That was single-handedly the best first audition I have ever heard,” said Simon Cowell on a recent episode of Great Britain’s version of American Idol, The X Factor.
Johnson, a 27-year-old schoolteacher, brought the crowd to its feet with his rendition of the Beatles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends."
Diana Vickers, a semifinalist on the show last season, pretty much echoed Cowell's thoughts. Over the weekend, she Tweeted:
Looks like I'm gonna have to watch The X Factor after all! Lets see how this goes down... Eeeeeeeek. Teacher man was awesome... that's about it!
What is all the fuss about? See for yourself?

Some of these shows have established "Celebrity" guest performers that do a song or two, Daryl Johnson has set the bar so high that it truely is GAME OVER. What a GIFT. Great song with a great voice. This song has not missed. Beatles, Cocker, JOHNSON. WOW!!!!

He was a bit rusty in the start but he completly knew how to capture the audience , get them excited, he has a charisma that has been lost in many entertainers.
