Danyl Johnson - Beautiful Life Cover

This weekend I visited the The George gay club in Dublin, this being the first time I had been out on the Dublin gay scene in 18 or so months I was unsure what to expect.

To my surprise I found that Danyl Johnson one of the X-factor finalists was going to be performing at midnight.

Although an hour later than scheduled Danyl Johnson did appear on stage and gave a fantastic performance, he seemed to lap up all the camp gay guys screaming, almost ready to throw their underwear at him. The only thing I would say I didn’t like about his performance was when he commented on the fact that Danni Minogue had joked about him being bisexual. Danyl Johnson had stated to the crowd that he was upset and angry that Danni Minogue had made the comments that she did. What I couldn’t understand was that if he had felt this way, why had he publicly defended her whilst a finalist on the X-Factor? Was it because he was worried that it might cause him problems later on in the show? I don’t feel that the issue with Danni should have really been used within his performance at The George, what was he going to gain by doing this?

Again despite my feelings on the comments he made, I can’t deny that Danyl Johnson has an outstanding voice, and i’m sure will go far in his career.
