The X-Factor Danyl Johnson TODAYs show Video Interview (08/27/09)
After Danyl Johnson Audition Video goes viral with his moving performance of The Beatles/Joe Crocker classic “With A Little Help From My Friend” on the British talent reality hit The X-Factor last weekend, the 27-year-old teacher was interviewed by TODAY Show.
Could Danyl Johnson be the next Susan Boyle-like YouTube sensation or does he have what it takes to become the next hit maker?
Appearing in his first U.S. TV interview, the man with a million-dollar smile and voice to match told TODAY’s Matt Lauer and Ann Curry Thursday he’s still processing his sudden fame and revealed how his students gave him the push to make one last grab at the brass ring.
“I’ve been singing for about 10 years now, and I didn’t really get much interest,” Johnson said live via satellite from London. “I thought that dream had gone past.”
“The kids have been so supportive and they said I should go into the competition. I just thought, ‘OK, I’ll send an application, and if I hear back I will see what happens from there.’ I’m so glad they got me to do it now, I have to say.”
