I'm afraid I have to agree with you.

Astounded that he made the final 6.

If he gets through it would be a travesty.

See, I think he has one of the best voices there, but I couldn't care less about his sob story/personal stuff.

A 48 year old club singer lying about his age.
Thank goodness this is as far as he gets.
Isn't it?

I think he seems a nice guy but I'm afraid without the back story he probably wouldn't have got through to bootcamp.

His voice is pleasant enough but I don't think it's good enough for this stage or the live shows.

In fact watching tonight I wonder how half of them got this far.

His voice is average at best IMO. In terms of ability, he just can't compete with some of the other singers. Out of his category, all the women can out-sing him.

I think he's alright. Can't imagine him as a best selling recording artist though and I wouldn't put him in the final 12.

IF he gets through to the final 12, I predict he will be out the first week or week after that. A real pub singer. Ive lost count of the number of times his voice has cracked during singing.

I don't get this man at all. I just do not get it.

He has nice teeth. That's it.

Probably losing his wife has added a few years on his face.

I've always thought he was average but it's been obvious right from the coverage he got at the audition stages that he would be making the finals. I wonder how far the sympathy vote will take him, the judges would be mad to keep him in for very long if he's in the bottom 2 early on.

Agreed. He's not cut out to be a recording artist. He's one of those people that represents the flawed aspect of The X Factor, when your story becomes more important than your voice.

I was amazed Dannii and Emma said he had a nice voice - I think it's pub singer grade as Simon Cowell may put it!

He annoys me too. I don't think his voice is very good and he keeps choosing all these songs that emphasise the fact that he has a sob story. I really hope he doesn't go through.

He's been through a terrible trauma, it shows on his face. Thats what happens.

He seems like a nice guy but when I watch/listen to him all I get is 'pub singer'. I think his voice is average at best.

Not always. My husband's mother died when he was young, and his father always looked youthful and was constantly mistaken for a man much younger than his years. He had sad eyes, but certainly didn't look ten years older than he was.

I'm sure Daniel is a nice enough bloke, with a decent enough singing voice - but we don't need to be constantly reminded about his wife's death. Yes, it's sad, and I'm sorry for him - but instead of chasing a half baked dream, he'd be better off concentrating on his little girl and being the kind of dad she needs.

If (and it's a big "if" IMHO) he did manage to achieve his ambiton and become a successful performer/recording artist - he wouldn't be around much for his child as he'd be working away from home much of the time, and very long hours. And that selfishness is what irritates me about him.

I want to like him but I tend to agree that his voice isn't that special.

I am having trouble reconciling the fact that some of the wonderful batch of girls can't get through and some medicore (relatively speaking) groups, boys and overs will.

That said, I think that if he gets no further, he has done his wife proud. and should be proud of himself.

I feel sorry for the guy but he's very average. I reckon he'll probably be through to the live shows but be out fairly early.

he shouldn't have made the final-his voice is so average, the only reason he went through is because of his sad lil sob story.

he also reminds me of steve brookstein.........

Hmmm, kind of harsh OP in my opinion. The man has probably done his share and more of crying over the course of the last year. Combine that with getting up and doing ALL the night feeds - trust me, that added a few years to me too.

I like Daniel. Doesn't irritate me in the slightest.

Wow, some of you people are incredibly hard. Have just read back through some of the posts and I would like to see you cope in his situation, then maybe you would think before saying such things you say. Good thing I'm off because some of you make my blood boil.
