You've got to see this. His audition videos just went viral. I've watched this 10x now and each time, chills and tears. Incredible. The audience were lucky to be there that night.

Simon Cowell's standing ovation says it all.

    What show is the audition for?

    The show is for U.K's X Factor for 2009.

    (X Factor is the successor to U.K's Pop Idol - which inspired U.S's American Idol)

    (Leona Lewis won X Factor in 2006. )

    Danyl Johnson auditioned for the show on Saturday and Simon Cowell gave him a standing ovation. It's the first time Simon gave a standing ovation for an audition.

    Danyl sings Beatles'/Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help From My Friends"

    They say his video will be bigger than Susan Boyle's.

    There must be a lot of people streaming it right now because I keep getting locked out!
    I will try again in a bit. Seems to be a good one. Is it better than Susan Boyle?

    You're welcome everyone. Glad you're all loving it. Isn't he amazing!!??? And his students are just goin to be so thrilled for him!! I just watched it again! I'm losing count how many times I've watched it!!!

    p.s. memaw66. Yes, Susan Boyle was great. But, Danyl Johnson leaves one speechless. Let's put it this way, Simon Cowell gives Danyl a standing o!!!

    Just thinking about his performance gives me goosebumps!!
