Are they trying to tell us something? Two stories within an hour. Is this preparation for the obvious?

Manipulation, more like. The media (as a whole) are really gunning for Danyl.

I find it all a bit horrible, actually. Danger is - what are they trying to do....? Is it turn people more against Danyl or get folk feeling for him, 'cos Simon is 'fed up' with him?

Not quite sure, but if the XF bosses really want Danyl to stay, they are going about it in a very risky way.

I actually genuinely have to laugh now, despite the spiteful nature of all this.

I mean, talk about overkill. I don't really care whether its leaks from the show with some kind of agenda, the paper's making it up, or an actual "insider" exaggerating everything. Or it may be gospel truth - although that one I doubt.

I rather think the vile journalists are being hoisted on their own petard.

I have noticed a trend amongst forums etc of " What again? Yawn!"
Apart of course, from the spiteful people who will use it all to kick off another storm.

Most reasonably minded people stopped paying attention yonks ago. Thats not to say the ones that don't like Danyl like him all of a sudden, just that the press against him has got so ridiculous as to mean nothing.

Maybe they don't really want to lose Danyl and are playing the old 'reverse psychology' take on the whole thing.

I don't know what it is but it is something not quite right and not fair.

My take on this is that it will make more people vote for him because they are not happy with his treatment. I might be wrong as some may not see it as such.

I've never thought Danyl was anything more than cannon fodder for the show. If he survives this week, which is looking rather doubtful then he'll definitely be gone next.

I thought he only changed his song this week, I don't remember him changing it last week. Anyway, the bulk of the acts had their songs changed last week!

I am ignoring the story, because the press always make things worse than they actually are! In all honesty, they have the cameras on them the bulk of the week for clips for the VT before their performance and also for the Xtra Factor, if he was really this big diva, why hasn't one of the production team accidentally leaked a clip of it!

Because whoever "accidently" leaked such a clip would be readily identifiable and instantly terminated. I work in television production and there can be no secrets about such unprofessional conduct. Footage is logged and access-controlled. Furthermore, technical people rarely if ever give a toss about the media sideshow regarding the "talent." It's simply a job.

No I get that......but the producers and Simon are said to be sick of him, they could quite easily order a clip to be accidentally leaked......in that case I find the stories hard to believe without hard evidence.

The latest headline is "Danyl 'bringing down other contestants'". Do they mean Lloyd?

Sorry.

Manipulation in what way? DS tends to report what other news sources are saying, the other news sources investigate and pay for their stories not DS. Danyl is in the Sunday Papers again, would you prefer DS not to report that fact and restrict people from that information?

Two stories from the same newspaper article. DS is running out of headlines it seems.

As I have said before "no smoke without fire"...

Surely all of these stories can't be made up???

Maybe it is Simon himself leaking them to he press as he is sick of the petulant child that is Danyl Johnson & he wants him out just as much as the majority of sane minded viewers...

The 'media' as a whole. DS is just as much involved in that machine as anything else. Whether they report others' stories or not. It's just another media site. They also choose the headline for the snippet story. Also, they don't report every story you read in the press, so there's an element of choice there too.

Not saying anymore about DS in case I go on holiday.....

Not really, if you've read the NOTW article you'll know it is quite a long article going on two points, his behaviour during practice and his behaviour with other contestants, because of limited space DS have split them into two separate stories.

Hehe, well I'd hope DS can cope with criticism. I would say they'd choose what they see as the most popular stories around at the moment, with X Factor as the most popular TV show anything from that would override other stories. It's more about giving people what they want.

Why this year. DS has always thrived on tabloid stories and spurious gossip. If that's not why you're here, you're probably on the wrong site!

To quote the article:

"Danyl has changed his song two weeks in a row now and that means he needs a lot more work from support staff like Brian Friedman. It's not fair."

Lololololololololololololoooooooollllll!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, what??? Danyl standing still, letting his talent shine out through his amazing voice requires work from Brian Friedman?? In what way exactly?

Shall we compare the amount of time old Bri has already spent with those talentless oafs Deadwood and Wally with the 2 minutes or so it took him to say "Tell you what Danyl, you obviously have talent anyway, I'm off to spend another 6 hours attempting to cover up those talentless fools' shortcomings with 50 half naked dancers..."

Danyl isn`t my favourite, although I don`t deny that he can sing, but it does look as though someone has it in for him.

I`ve no idea if the stories are true or not, as I tend to take anything the tabloids print with a huge pinch of salt, but it is beginning to look more and more like a well ochestrated smear campaign to me.
