'X Factor' vocal coach praises Dannii

X Factor vocal coach Yvie Burnett has praised new judge Dannii Minogue for her "hands-on" nature.

Yvie has revealed that Minogue is keen to offer as much support as possible to her three contestants, who all made it through to the second live show last weekend.

"She's really hands on," Yvie told the Daily Record. "She's always on the phone asking me what about this, what about that. She really wants to do the best for her people."

Burnett promised that viewers can expect a better performance from Leon Jackson tonight, after he was slated by the judges for his performance of 'Can't Buy Me Love' last week.

"It was awful watching someone so unhappy," Yvie said. "But this week, he's bounced back and is far happier."

She also insisted that Sharon Osbourne's contestants have not been affected by their mentor's temporary departure from the show.

"Emily and Alisha have just been concentrating on their vocal coaching and choreography, same as usual," Yvie explained.
