Doing it as a quiet school teacher makes it even harder.
Danyl Johnson looked calm but ordinary as he introduced himself.
No dramatic story.
No bold promises.
Just a teacher with a dream.
The judges listened politely as he explained his background.
Then came his song choice – a bold move.
He chose With A Little Help From My Friends, made famous by The Beatles.
It is a song almost everyone knows.
And that made it dangerous.
