The singer from The Script has made loads of money out of The X Factor

  • May 8, 2012

Chair-dancing, vinegar-strokes-face-pulling  vocal coach Danny O'Donoghue isn't totally negative about The X Factor.

He says he's pocketed quite a bit of cash from his UK Top 30 hit 'Breakeven' being covered on The X Factor.

"Music directors on The X Factor say that The Script are one of the most requested bands for audi­tion­ees to sing," he told Heat magazine. "Apparently 'Breakeven' is the Number One choice."

Explaining the pub­lish­ing cheque process, he said: "It takes about two or three years to really cash in."

Amazing.
