After a relatively poor performance on last nights X Factor live show, Danyl Johnson defied the public backlash yet again and survived to fight another day.

Talking to the Xtra Factor earlier on tonight, Danyl said that he expected to be in the bottom two, and actually practiced his song choice in preparation. Stating that his dodgy vocals yesterday were down to him struggling to hear the backing track, his delight at being voted through was obvious to see as he whooped with delight and got down on his knees after hearing his name called out.

The unfortunate loser this time was Rachel, who lost out on a deadlock vote to Lloyd Daniels, who was suffering from a sore throat.

Simon Cowells continued belief that Danyl is the best singer in the competition should be taken as a massive positive, and the emotion he displayed tonight couploed with the cracks in his supposed arrogant confidence are only sure to endear him to the public more now, so we feel confident that this is just the start of the Danyl Johnson comeback.

There can surely be no more bad stories to come out about Danyl, and if his confidence and obvious singing ability come back, then the UK audiences should have plenty more to come from the Reading school teacher.

Next week on the fifth live show its Movie time, so we can expect some classic movie power ballads. Surely a great chance for Danyl to shine and show us all what he is truly made of? Lets hear what you've got to say...
