SINGING sensation Danyl Johnson is through to the next round of The X Factor.

The public vote kept the Arborfield teacher in the competition for another week after he sang Aerosmith's I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing yesterday (Saturday).

The performance had mixed reviews from the judges, but Louis Walsh said: "There's no way you should have been in the bottom two last week, absolutely no way. This is a talent show, and you're a very talented guy.

"'I know you've had a setback, but I want people at home to give you a second chance. You have something special."

Rachel Adedeji left the competition after a sing off against Lloyd Daniels. Earlier in the show - which rock legends Bon Jovi also performed on - all nine finalists sang Aerosmith and Run DMC's classic Walk This Way together.
