Danyl Johnson is already the shorted priced X Factor favourite ever, even though we are only one audition show into the series, he is priced at 2/1 with a single bet of £10,000 having already been placed.
Now I don’t pretend to be an authority on music in any shape or form but even I could see this lad looks like an exceptional talent, however I do have reservations about his credentials, his audition was spectacular he looked as polished a performer as I have seen in ages and certainly the best to come out of the X Factor. 
This is where my problem with him is, how come this guy has not already made it,
how come he has not already been “spotted” he is 28 years old, which hardly makes him a kid, so where has he been hiding, why has his talent been kept under wraps, why does he not have an agent , even if he is not good enough to be a full blown pop star, he has enough about him to make it on the next rung down, on the circuit playing halls and clubs, but he works as a teacher in a school in Reading, so what is Danyl’s problem, and you can be sure one will emerge.
So as brilliant as I think he is I am going to stick my neck out now one week into the show and say the shortest priced favourite in X factor history is not going to win, the person who put on the ten grand has wasted his money, Simon Cowell is to canny an operator to have bought this lad out in the first show if he is going on to eventually win, I’m not sure what Danyl’s “problem” is but it will come out before we get to the end.
And if I’m wrong, just sit back and enjoy the show.
The whole premise stinks. It's basically watch a show hosted by Simon Cowell, you vote for the winner, the proceeds of which goes to Simon Cowell. The winner then signs a contract with (wait for it) Simon Cowell. And if it's a hit, Mr Cowell gets a large slice of a winner selected by the paying public.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Simon Cowell is a genius. I quite like him. He's smart enough to know most people are foolish enough to waste time and money, and he's tapping into that. I mean, there's a huge number of people who phone in right?. But do I give a fig about who is going to win and then release a cover version of a twenty year old hit?. And when the viewing figures dip, they cannily invent a sub-plot to garner interest, like Danniiii tries to assassinate Louis Walsh, or Cheryl wants to punch Dannii's face into am 18th Century porcelain toilet - and they then threaten to quit. But since made up. Nonsense.
People like Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan or Paul Simon would probably NEVER had even got through the first round of X -Factor because they don't have the looks or the thirty syllable trembling voices. Yet these guys set the standard thity years ago. Will anoyone remember these X-Factor bods in 2039? Doubt it.
But that's not Cowell's fault - its the poor standard of TV and the public that perpetuate such nonsense.
Please Mr DurdensView - less of the Big Brother, X Factor stuff. Now if they were selecting a Pope on Pope Idol, now that's interesting, or a new Malcolm X on 'Malcolm X factor' - that's different.
But weeks of prime time TV to find someone who can sing 23 syllables when one can do, (think Maria Careh, Whitney Euston, or other I,I,I,I, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Love yo-you-ooo" type singers, then you'll get what i mean.
If you don't get what I mean, pick up the phone and vote for your favorite singer on 0845.....
Great post mate, was Careh and Euston deliberate mistakes or are you just not up on your singers?
ReplyDeleteThey were deliberate typos. Like, as in Gloria TransitVan
