X Factor Queen Week: Danyl Johnson - We Are The Champions

Danyl Johnson landed the coveted final spot on tonight's X Factor and normally they save that for a whopping performance, able to capitalise on being the last person to sing before the voting lines open.

I liked the fact that he didn't overdo the performance and he seemed to have a bit of a laugh at himself during the “bad mistakes” part of the lyrics. A few vocal annoyances aside, he was the first one to give a truly ‘rock’ performance, and I have to credit him with that. Also, they didn't overuse the gospel choir to the point that Danyl was drowned out. I think that after that, Danyl will live to sing another week.

Judges Comments:

Dannii Minogue: I absolutely think was your best performance in the live shows.

Louis Walsh: There’s nothing wrong with being arrogant and confident – if you’ve got the talent to back it up. Tonight you proved that you’ve got it all. That was the best performance of the night.

Cheryl Cole: I wasn’t sure when you started off, but you won me over by the end. And I like your hair like that.

Simon Cowell: I thought that was absolutely fantastic. That was not a karaoke performance. You sang as if you meant it. You acted out the performance. Outstanding.
