With only one more week to go, our favorite bisexual crooner Danyl Johnson knocked ‘em dead at the 2009 UK X Factor semi-finals on Saturday night during Michael Jackson Week by nailing two soul-filled songs, “Man in the Mirror,” and “I Have Nothing.” Fresh on the heels of Danyl’s revelation that he suffered from testicular cancer when he was eleven, and talk in the tabloids that judge Louis Walsh is saying he can’t win because “He’s not likable enough,” Danyl stepped up to the plate and knocked two big home runs out of the park, receiving rave reviews from all the judges, even Louis!

Up next, Stacey Solomon, 20, danced and sang her way through “The Way You Make Me Feel,” while wearing a Fedora hat and a short short dress/suit. Jumping onto tables and chairs, she received a lot of help from eight hunky male dancers dressed in tank tops and leather chaps with suspenders. Apparently, those two falls reported by the British press during rehearsal weren’t that severe, after all!

“I don’t think the song really suited you,” commented Louis Walsh. “I’ve been a fan of yours all along, but the whole production took away from the voice.”

Nice photo of Danyl Johnson. He always looks good no matter what he's wearing.
For his second number, eighteen year-old Newcastle native, Joe McEdlerry, sang Journey’s “Open Arms,” with only a microphone for a prop.

Up next, Essex’s Stacey Solomon performed West Side Story’s “Somewhere,” while wearing a decidedly unflashy beige dress.

Last up for the evening, our man Danyl Johnson sang “I Have Nothing,” another Whitney Houston song. Danyl noted at the secret Thursday TalkTalk gig that Whitney didn’t like the way he sang her other songs (See video). But the doe-eyed Berkshire bred teacher tackled the number with his usual soul and had the judges raving once again.

"Essentially this is the first time I’ve ever seen you physically shaken,” said Cheryl Cole. “So I can see how much this means to you. After that performance I wish you the best of luck in the final show.”
