Idol
- Auditions
Danny embarked on his journey in Idol 2006 by auditioning with the song "I Swear" by the vocal quartet All-4-One. He was praised by the jury for his touching and convincing voice.
Day joined fellow contestant Felicia Brandström in a duet, singing Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do", which according to the jury was the best performance so far in the Idol contest. The jury was unanimous in its opinion that if both were to continue at that level of that performance, they would easily end up in the Idol final.
The jury's comments were harsh after Danny's performance of Nick Lachey's single "What's Left Of Me" in the Idol 2006 semi-finals, however, as they claimed his voice did not suit this song. In the top 11 finals, Danny sang The Jacksons' "Blame It On The Boogie" while doing some Jackson moves. In the top 10 finals, Danny stormed the stage and even made jury member Kishti Tomita weep in tears, while Danny sang the ballad "Öppna Din Dörr" by Swedish singer Tommy Nilsson.
