So, what happened tonight? Was Danyl Johnson overcome by nerves and feeling the pressure? Or was the song choice not quite right? Regardless, Simon Cowell was still backing Danyl to the hilt and gave him a standing ovation after his performance of Aerosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing".

The other judges however were less than impressed, and some focused on the tough week that Danyl has had, and his stinging critiscm in the press. Danyl himself seemed less than his usual confident self, and something just wasn't quite right tonight.

Originally predicted to sing George Michael's "Careless Whisper", perhaps there was a late change in song choice which affected his singing, but in saying that, he still finished on a typical high, and most of the audience appreciated his performances.

Maybe the tide might have turned now however? The fact that Danyl appeared sad and affected by recent media reports may have shown us his emotional side, and this being something that has been picked up on might have in actual fact done Danyl some good.

What we should really be looking for is how he bounces back next, that is of course assuming that he stays in tomorrow. Two less than great performances in a row would be not be expected of an X Factor winner, so if Danyl Johnson is to prove to us that he has what it takes to win X Factor, he has to come back with a storming performance in the next live show.

Chin up Danyl, bring back the confidence we all know you have.
