Daniel Evans - X Factor 2008

Finally the British public have voted with their heads and not their hearts. After a fortnight of really talented people being voted off the X Factor tonight Daniel Evans was chosen to go home.

Not that Daniel isn’t talented. In fact I thought he sang his final song, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Waters’ really well. But it is a cliched song and he is a slightly cheesy performer. He would never have sold any records and if he had won it would have been like Steve Brookstein all over again.

Daniel was up against Rachel Hylton tonight and though she lives to sing another week, I’m not sure how much longer she can survive. Thankfully Diana Vickers got through despite her poor performance and hopefully next week she will be back on top form to wow us once more!
