The Danyl Johnson “The X Factor” video has officially gone viral. Monday,the official YouTube video clip had about 600,000 views since the weekend.

Then 24 hours later,the count had doubled to almost 1.2 million views. On Saturday Night’s airing of the show, judge Simon Cowell said Danyl Johnson’s audition was “the best first audition I have ever heard.”

This caused Johnson to quickly become a frontrunner on the show,which raised questions of if he would become the next Susan Boyle.

The British press have been reporting on him heavily,just like they did with Susan Boyle on the “Britain’s Got Talent” show in April. Danyl is 27 years old,and a school teacher from Reading,England.

He has come up short in previous attempts to be a professional singer. He had been in two failed boy bands,performed with a rock band called “Empty Spaces,” and auditioned for the “X Factor” show three times.

Judge Dannii Minogue said, “When we see a performance like that, it’s the absolute perfect audition. So exciting to be sitting here on this panel.”
