Danyl Johnson is competing on Britain's talent competition X-Factor, and he's definitely got plenty of that "it" factor that industry folks talk about. The charismatic 27 year-old teacher says that he would not have tried out for the show again if it had not been for his students who encouraged him. He had given up, but he's enjoying the ride. May he have a very lengthy one. We need more of Danyl's soulful vocals, big smile and captivating performances. Uh, why do I sound like a press release?! Maybe that's because I wouldn't mind if Danyl gave me an exclusive private performance. Wink.

Who is Danyl Johnson? His X-Factor Audition Video is Burning up the Internet

Danyl Johnson is an energetic fusion of charisma, stage presence and talent. The 27 year-old has what it takes, but ironically, Danyl tried out for the X-Factor two times before he was accepted!

Danyl Johnson performed the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends," and Simon Cowell and the entire X-Factor judging panel was in awe. Danyl's YouTube audition video has already been viewed over 1.2 million times, which is causing people to say that he's the next Susan Boyle. The public's interest in both contestants is similar, but Susan and Danyl are worlds apart for too many reasons to list.

I agree with Simon, this really was "THE BEST" audition!!! Check it out after the jump...
