Everyone appeals to a particular audience IMO. I like quite all the acts in it, but Daniel is one of my favourites to be honest for several reasons, he's a genuine guy that hasn't cried his way through every show right from the start, the guy maybe doesn't "look" the part but he tries and at the end of the day, it's the very judges that picked him that slag him off and say they can't see him selling records, well why did you pick him then???? Lol
And finally i think it's better to have some underdogs in there, you never know if they're going to surprise you.
But TBH I think if they DIDN'T slag him off they wouldn't get som many folk voting in for him to make sure he stays.
