Have been watching Danni clips on youtube and Wow, she was amazing.

I just do not get why Louis, Simon and previously Sharon Osbourne periodically ridicule Danni as a singer and performer.

Danni has always flown under my radar because I’m not that into pop music. She is as talented and beautiful as Kylie but was obviously not as heavily marketed. Kylie had that whole Jason Donovan thing going on in the early days that helped her become a household name.

So Simon Cowell, Danni has far more natural talent than your little poppet Cheryl and does not rely heavily on all the tricks to pull out a credible performance.

Danni is the most qualified judge on that panel so why oh why do they take cheap pops at her singing ability.

They take cheap shots because they can, because, by and large, she wasnt that successful in this country and people are not always aware of her work.

As an aside, In Australia, until Kylie's singing career really took off, Danni was the most well known of the two.

How can someone criticize a musical performance when they are dire at music themselves?

I remember them on young Talent Time, and Danny was always the singer, but Kylie ended up more famous because of th e TV show, i think.

Kylie made it because she was in Neighbours with Jason Donovan, and they were the teen heart throbs of that era. When they made a record together it just took off and they both became massive.

Dannii went into the opposing Oz soap - Home and Away, in the UK few knew she actually existed until then. Kylie got all the kudos, but I always felt Dannii was overlooked, I actually prefer her and rate her as good, if not better than her sisster.

I always felt Dannii's music has a bit more edge to it than Kylie's which is why I like it more. Check out this Dannii b-side Goodbye Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWW2RsEWcM4 I just can't imagine Kylie pulling off something like that. She's too nicey nicey and fluffy for me..... :yawn:

I'll take Put The Needle On It over any of Kylie's singles too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZDP_nmBeEE&ob=av2e

That argument doesn't hold up.

How can you criticise food when you are not a chef?

How can you criticise an Olympic sprinter when you are overweight? (I'm not saying you are).

How can you criticise a TV show if you do not produce TV shows?

How can you criticise a football player when you are not in the Premier League yourself?

Etc.

I love it

Danni was bloody amazing in her heyday. I would love her to do something now, i'm sure she still has it. One things for sure, it would wipe those self satisfied smug grins off the faces of Cowell, Walsh and Cole.

I am so glad for Danni that she is in the public eye more these days.

neither does yours. The poster was not talking about armchair critics. Most paid commentators of sport, at least,are proffessionals. On xfactor armchair critics are given the power to vote, but the judges are supposed to voice their opinion based on expertise. Simon, louise and danni each have a specified degree of expertise. Cheryl's expertise lies in self-promotion. That is usually what is reflected in her comments. Even her seemingly most generous comments are 'all about Cheryl'
