Danyl: Whitney hated me
 

X Factor contestant Danyl Johnson has claimed Whitney Houston "absolutely hated him" for singing one of her unreleased songs on the show.

The 27-year-old teacher said the American pop star, who mentored the contestants for one week, disliked him for singing I Didn't Know My Own Strength, which is yet to be released in the UK.

Asked who was his least favourite celebrity guest on the show, Danyl said: "Whitney absolutely hated me."

He then added, sarcastically: "She loved the fact I was singing a song she hadn't released yet."

He went on: "She was actually still quite nice but sort of didn't like the fact I was singing the song, but there you go. That was the worst one."

He later clarified: "I was singing a song she hadn't released in the UK yet so she wasn't very happy."

His remarks came prior to a secret gig in London, held by X Factor sponsors TalkTalk, where the four remaining contestants - Danyl, Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs and Joe McElderry - sang for a select group of fans.

Danyl also addressed criticism he has faced throughout the competition, which includes suggestions that he was arrogant.

He said: "At the beginning when I first auditioned it was a bit massive and over-hyped so I think it's balanced itself out. I'm back in the middle and that's fine. The other contestants have been really sweet about it."



lol

Ya, Whitney AND everybody else hates him. Apart from the odd weirdo who loves him because he's ''A rare talent and omg so good looking and omg the best singer ever in the history of man like!" :rolleyes:.

Love Whitney even more now haha.
:lovedup:

poor danyl, he's getting such a hammering!!

Well Whitney had to agree for the song to be sung so I don't think this makes any sense at all tbh. Simon asked her permission for Danyl to sing it and she agreed. So what's the issue? If she had a problem then she should have told Simon to feck off!

These stories are getting stupid now. Feel sorry for Danyl. He's still a human being at the end of the day, whether you like him or not!

I'd say Whitney comes across as not liking many people, I thought she was going to attack Dermot after she sung, she's a scary lady!!

She did look completely out of it the majority of the time to be fair lol.

I know what you mean Niamh, she looked at Dermot like she was gonna kill him! Haha!

This :joker:

whitneys performance was absolutely brilliant but i thought she was shockingly rude!!! the ho' has issues!!

Id be pissed of if someone was singing one of my unreleased songs aswell, Go Whitney!

Can't blame her

ME!!:D
Danyl is great,, if you say 'the odd weirdo'
well,, there is Obviouslyyyyyy LOOTTSS of weirdos then :joker:
the worst he can do is 4th now!!! :D
and thats AMAZING! :hugesmile:
well done danyll :spin:

She can't really blame Danyl though.
Simon chose the song.

Yeah, quite obviously as he's got this far.

Ype. It's the odd Weirdo voting for him.
;)

Oh please she's probably on benefits anyway, she can't afford to do that many votes. Just because theres not many people on here who like him doesn't mean he hasn't got fanbases anywhere else.

The odd weirdo - didn't get him through to the semi-final! Obviously a lot more voting for him than that - the facts speak for themselves.

Omg I just got Deja Vu reading this.
I dreamt about this I think haha!
Anyways,
I think it's probably the odd wierdo AND all those tone deaf people out there who have to listen to what Simon says to be able to make up their minds.
"Simon gives Danyl standing ovations? Well he must be brilliant then! I will go and vote for him now so!"
Those kinda people.
:(

How cat was he last night Ceolin? Dire stuff all round really but he took the biscuit, didn't he?

Well I'm a music student with a predicted B in A2 going off to uni to study it so that argument ****s off right out the window.

Oh don't flash your credentials on a public forum in an attempt to validate your argument Lemonjam. Degrees don't automatically give you the higher ground in a discussion or in life.

She cant be that annoyed...she would have to give permission for him to do it...I imagine anyway...

Well the fact he/she's saying I'm tone deaf when I'm quite obviously not is a bit farfetched, no?

Also for the record, I don't think Danyls the best pitch perfect performer, that belongs to Joe, but Danyl recorded really does stand out to me compared to the other 3 finalists.

You could be for all I know and sure we don't even know if you're bullsh$tting or not. Plenty of numpties out there with degrees anyway.
