The audition for the show “X Factor” in Britain by Danyl Johnson is infectious! He is a teacher, loves music and was encouraged to audition for the show by his students. Joe Cocker’s “With a Little Help from my Friends” has long been a favorite of mine and Danyl’s joy in singing the song simply makes me smile… again and again and again!

I’m thinking his music career has just begun whether he wins “X Factor” or not. That show is equivalent to “American Idol” here in the States and you all know what an Idol junkie I am!
