Uh-oh, Danyl Johnson may have just made himself one very powerful enemy. Today’s newspapers are reporting that Simon Cowell is furious with the former teacher and has warned him that he needs to stop the tears and tantrums and get on with perfecting his X Factor performances.
We heard earlier this week that Danyl threw a massive strop after deciding that his Wham song wasn’t working. He later had a ‘meeting’ with Mr Cowell in which he demanded a new song.
The Daily Star has today reported that Simon blasted Danyl saying:
X Factor singer Danyl Johnson has managed to get his song changed for this week’s show, after reportedly losing his temper with staff.
Yesterday we reported that Danyl threw a massive strop with vocal coach Yvue Burnett and today sources have claimed that Johnson went straight to Simon Cowell’s office and demanded to sing a different song.
Former X Factor singer Jamie Archer has admitted that he understands why Danyl Johnson went into meltdown over his song choice for this week.
Reports emerged this morning that Danyl had walked out of a rehearsal session with Yvie Burnett and had a row with Simon Cowell after he was told that he would be singing George Michael’s Praying For Time on this weekend’s show.
Gordon Brown has made an attempt to retract his derogatory comments made about X Factor’s John and Edward Grimes last week. In a radio interview, Brown branded the boys as ‘not very good’, Labour then followed up by producing a mocked-up poster of David Cameron and George Osborne as the Irish teenagers under the slogan: “You won’t be laughing if they win.”
However in typical politician style, Gordon Brown has done a bit of a back track and told This Morning:
Simon Cowell thought he had gotten rid of his fiesty singer when Jamie Archer left the competition. No more fights over song choices, no more manly rows, in steps Danyl Johnson.
Danyl is said to have ‘erupted in fury’ yesterday over his Wham! song choice. Simon gave him George Michael’s ‘Praying For Time’ but Dan fled his vocal session with Yvie Burnett shouting, ‘Come on, this song isn’t working…I hate this song.’
The final eight X Factor acts are reportedly set to earn £100,000 on this year’s live tour, proving that it is worthwhile to enter the X Factor, even if you have no chance of winning.
The Sun reports that half of the money is made up from pay cheques and the other half from bonuses and an unnamed finalist from last year said: “The tour is the most lucrative part of being on the show. Even if you don’t win, it can set you up for life.”
An X Factor spokeswoman said: “We do not discuss any financial details of contracts for the tour.”
X Factor singer Danyl Johnson is said to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown and ITV bosses are so worried that they called in a psychologist to evaluate his mental state.
A source told Now magazine: “Danyl’s suffered from stress-related illnesses in the past, which were so bad he was in therapy.
“He had a nervous breakdown in 2004 after his boy band NV split. He really struggles with rejection, so he’s probably in the wrong industry.”
Last week’s videos of Jamie and Olly Murs jamming were hilariously funny and very light hearted, however does anyone else find this one of Danyl and Jamie a little contrived.
Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has admitted that she is a fan of X Factor singer Danyl Johnson and feels bad to see him behaving like a broken man.
Marsh told The Mirror: “I’ve felt really sorry for Danyl. He is, without doubt, the best singer by far, but he’s been getting such terrible stick. It was so sad to see him a broken man the other week.
I took a roasting on our X Factor chart for daring to criticise Danyl Johnson’s performance last night. Amid claims of Danyl-bashing (the nation’s favourite new sport!), I was told that I was ‘clearly biased’ against Danyl:
I appreciate that you’re obscenely biased against the guy for whatever reason, but you should honestly appreciate a fantastic performance when you see one. You have a voice on the Internet and people read this blog, so that’s great, just don’t make a fool out of yourself in doing so.
The guy is very talented and you really need to lay off him. You berated him with criticism last week, you bought into all these stories that have been said about him like a gullible moron, and you’re using this blog space to broadcast your unbelievable bias to the Internet, and it’s just verging on ridiculous.
Now, regular readers know that I only do the weekend live coverage of X Factor, and after I stopped sobbing uncontrollably from this attack on my integrity, I thought I should list my pros and cons of Danyl as part of this year’s X Factor. Hopefully you’ll see that I’m coming from a logical position, and more importantly not from an absurd, anti-Danyl viewpoint.
The News of the World today reports that Simon Cowell’s right-hand woman Sinitta warned Cheryl Cole to “lay off” Danyl Johnson amid fears he may experience a Susan Boyle-like breakdown.
The article states that Sinitta described Cheryl’s behaviour towards Danyl last week as “quite hideous.”
It also reckons that in her anger at the way Danyl was being treated, Sinitta called Cheryl a “smug Little Miss Cheryl Tweedy-pie.”
After last weekend’s performance and harsh criticism from Cheryl, it seems a tearful Danyl was comforted by Sinitta who roundly defended the singer.
“What people saw as arrogance was actually Danyl putting on a massively brave face.
“People couldn’t handle the fact he was going to tough it out and get through it no matter what.
“But it was all too tough for him in the end. He was overwhelmed and nearly exploded… Read more & comment »
X Factor star Danyl Johnson has been telling Now magazine that he’s “trying to ignore” the outpouring of bad press that’s haunted him over the past couple of weeks.
Danyl told the magazine, “I don’t read the papers because good and bad stuff can go to your head or get you down.”
He went on to say, “You can’t get away from it because people will let you know about different things.
“But I just try to keep focused and keep my mind on the game in hand.” Read more & comment »
X Factor contestant Danyl Johnson has admitted that he would quite like to snog his fellow competitor, Lucie Jones.
In a video diary for ITV.com, Danyl was asked by a fan who he would most like to snog in the X Factor house. There wasn’t much hesitation before he named the Welsh teenager, saying that she looked amazing in her rock outfit last week.
Olly Murs has become the latest X Factor contestant to get struck down by a throat infection. Yesterday, news broke that young Lloyd Daniels and Danyl Johnson are very ill and rumours suggested that the pair may even miss the show.
The Sun has today reported that Olly MJus has also been sent to see a throat specialist and that the singer can hardly talk, let alone sing. Doctors have told him not to speak for 48 hours until his throat improves.
There have been rumours circulating that both Danyl Johnson and Lloyd Daniels will miss this weekend’s X Factor due to severe throat infections.
The rumours originated on Twitter and are by no means confirmed. It seems to us that it is way too early to tell if the boys will still be sick by the weekend but wouldn’t it be awful if they were?
The News of the World today reports that Simon Cowell’s right-hand woman Sinitta warned Cheryl Cole to “lay off” Danyl Johnson amid fears he may experience a Susan Boyle-like breakdown.
