X Factor 2009 - want boyzone

Simon Cowell could not hide his disbelief when his protege Danyl Johnson ended up in one of the two bottom contestants in Saturday’s show following the public vote, he called the incident ‘a total joke’ and added ‘I have never been so surprised in my life.’

Johnson and Louis Walsh’s girl group Miss Frank faced a ’sing off’ to decide who would leave and who would stay, but with Cowell and Walsh backing their own acts it was down to DanniiMinogue and Cheryl Cole to make the casting vote.

While Minogue decided to vote for Johnson, Cole could not face being Mrs Nasty and chose to abstain, leaving it up to the public vote to be counted, resulting in the win for prep school dance teacher Danyl Johnson.

After Johnson’s performance Cowell said: “I’ve never been so surprised in my life. If this is your last performance, I’ve never heard someone going out on such a high. I think it’s a joke that you’re in the position you’re in, a total joke.”

Walsh said of his act Miss Frank: “They’ve got an awful lot more to give, they were at their best last night and I love them.”
