What Do You Think of Simon Cowell’s Favorite First Audition Ever?

August 25, 2009 by Jeanne  

Danyl Johnson tried out for The X Factor in London recently and the judges were so impressed with him that Simon Cowell actually said that it was the best first audition he’s ever seen.  Of course, I had to find out what all the fuss was about and I have to say that I was impressed.  The thing is that Danyl is a good singer but it wasn’t so much about his vocals as it was about his overall performance, which was great.  Before you judge it, think about this for a second – this is an audition. 

I almost started to compare it to some of the American Idol performances but that wouldn’t be fair since, by the time they make it to the stage, the Idol contestants have been working with show coaches for weeks.  So, all that considered, I would have to agree that Danyl’s delivery of “With a Little Help From My Friends” is probably the best first audition I’ve ever seen as well.  Decide for yourself.

    This was very good, especially the performance part, but …

    How many AUDITIONS come complete with orchestra and backup singers? He clearly had some time to work with them.

    On Idol, it’s just a singer and their voice.

    Some auditions that impressed me more: Fantasia, Kellie Pickler, Paris Bennett, Kat McPhee, Chris Daughtry and Blake Lewis.

    Note: I don’t watch all the auditions on Idol because Fox forces you to watch more “bad” auditions in between the good ones. Season 5 was an exception. So, my list would probably be longer if I watched more auditions.
