It strikes me as very similar. Simon absolutely adored Ashley Mckenzie from X Factor 3 (Link here if you've forgotten him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSq3QsI86Bg)But the public didn't like Ashley - I think he made it to about Week 3 and was in the bottom 2 the week before. But every week Simon gave him a standing ovation and got very VERY pissed at Louis when he voted him off in the judges vote and I heard it was part of the reason he 'sacked' him the year after. I feel that Simon's complete love for Ashley and blatant bias is definitely being mirrored in Danyl's performances. For similar reasons people disliked him too - mostly the arrogance thing. (Which I don't really get with Danyl tbh..) It's okay though..because this was the year of Leona, who came more apparent later on so maybe it all worked out for the best. Anyone remember this situation? |

I do. He was definitely that year's Danyl in Simon's eyes. Simon had him down as the winner from the beginning IIRC. He even admitted so last year.
I think it was probably only after Summertime when Leona began to be more seriously championed by Simon. |

That was funny. He stormed off and refused to do Xtra factor, then next week both Ray and Nikkita(??) were in the bottom two and Louis and Sharon just had a ball at Simon's expense. Especially on xtra factor afterwards.

In Danyl's defence, Ashley forgot the words half way through the song. Can't get much worse really.

I didn't particularly like Ashley but I far preferred him to Danyl. Quote:

To be honest I'm not sure how much truth there is in that story seeing as it coincided with increasing his days on GMTV. I don't know that I would like to be doing late nights on a Saturday as well as all those early mornings. |

I remember Ashley well. I hated the way he seemed to sing through his nose all the time. Simon threw such a tantrum when he was voted off. Its a pity he cant have more class like the other judges when his act is voted off. We didnt see Louis having a fit this week and he has lost two of his acts already.

I said a couple of days ago that I really disliked Ashley at the time.

Simon does have a habit of trying to force his views onto the GBp and then sulking whenn they don't agree. Remember Hope and Simons ludicrous praise each week 'best band ever in XF' 'better than any girl band out there' etc etc as they came in the bottom 2 week after week.
