All season, American Idol finalists sang shortened songs in front of a few hundred people, and millions more watched on TV. When their 50-city Idols Live tour starts Sunday at the Rose Garden in Portland, Ore., they'll expand the songs and the crowd, without worries about who goes home at the end of the night.
“I didn't know how you'd fit 10 people in one show, but it flows so smoothly,” says Danny Gokey. “And the energy of 10,000 to 15,000 people will take it up a notch.”
The three-hour concert will be split between songs from the Fox series and material picked for the tour.
Gokey will do Michael Jackson's P.Y.T., which he performed during Idol's Jackson theme week, as one of his four numbers. Although he chose the song before Jackson's death, “it's definitely to honor Michael Jackson and all that he has done for music.”

I know people in Portland are ready for our Danny…Lucky
things…..They’ll be touring over three months…Can you
believe all the great stuff we are going to be hearing about
our Danny??? The pictures and the videos….Oh my, I’m really
looking forward to that….
Hey is anybody here from portland?
Danny may get a lot of media attention because of P.Y.T and the whole Michael Jackson story.
What do you think about his tweet about his Nashville meetings?? Good or bad????
Michelle, I think Danny has good news for his fans, but the news will be released when the time right. Danny is just too awesome talent and will get his recording deal. We just have to be patient a little bit longer.
P.Y.T was one of his best performance of this season and he rocked the house! i really wanna watch him perform the full version on the stage! and the dance!
I’m looking forward to Danny singing PYT….Esp. How he starts
out slow then let’s it rip…I love it..When he did it on MJ
night he blew the house down…He’s such a talented guy, evverything he does is unbelievable…. And now he’s going to
do the full version..Will be awesome…
YES KAREN I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT THE RESPONSES TO PYT!
Good morning ladies!! Not a lot of news to comment on, but all I can say is Danny is my one and only PYT!
I was down at Summerfest last night. Such an amazing place – 11 days, 11 stages, over 700 bands, people dancing on tables, singing at the top of their lungs with the bands…great ambience! THere is a huge partially covered ampitheater overlooking Lake Michigan where Danny has been invited to HEADLINE next summer!!! It would be so cool if the I <3 Danny ladies could meet here next summer for that event! I've got some room at my house…
You know you'd be FEELING THE LOVE in Danny's own hometown!
Well, off to the gym & start my day! Hope it's a great day for all!
and he really loves my wish by rascal flatts!
the lyrics of that song is really inspiring and i just can’t wait for Danny’s version and that must be another classcal performance~
I am curious what his other idol friends think of the shave!danny is hot no matter what to me.
Adam might feel threatened~
haha~
JOANNA– ADAM MAY START TO HAVE A REAL CRUSH ON HIM!
Latrece, maybe that’s been the problem all along…Adam has had a secret crush on our manly man, Danny, but knew it was doomed to go nowhere! It could be made into a movie, like from Justin to Kelly LOL (never saw that, btw, but heard it was a real stinker)!
THAT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE CASE VC?! HE IS HOTT! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT HE IS A MANLY MAN!
I don’t think Adam feels threatened or has a crush on Danny I mean he seems to go for the more classic good looks flamboyant type
and I think Adam doesn’t feel threatened with Danny having more fans then him cause he is already ahead of Danny on twitter
just my thoughts
so nice the idols will be on tour! its a great gift to their fans!
not that Danny isn’t good looking but he’s not classic good looks
and not that he doesn’t have fans but I think since Adam made the final and after something like 3 or 4 weeks on twitter already has 76 thousand followers I think it proves Adam has more
but Danny probably has the third biggest fan base this season
WELL IT WAS A JOKE TO START OUT WITH ABOUT THE CRUSH,–I DON’T THINK YOU NEED TO BE CLASSIC GOOD LOOKS TO BE HOT! JUST LOOK AT THE HOLLYWOOD STARS AND SOME OF THEIR HUSBANDS’, MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY AVERAGE LOOKING AND THE WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. I AM SURE IF DANNY WAS GAY, HE COULD PROBABLY GET SOMEONE WHO LOOKS BETTER THAN ADAM, I AM SURE OF THAT ( THEY ARE WAITING IN THE WINGS). BUT IT’S NOT WHO FINISHES FIRST, IT’S WHO FINISHES LAST IN THIS LONG RACE OF STARDOM. I HOPE BOTH OF THEM THE BEST! NO HATERS.
I’m not saying he isn’t hot I’m just saying he isn’t Adams type
and Adams sexier then Danny in my opinion I mean that rolling stones cover almost made me pass out so I think if he was gay Adam would be a good catch
oh and I don’t think you guys have to worry about Danny being gay he just seems 100% straight
GOOD! I AM GLAD HE IS NOT ADAMS TYPE, ONLY THE REAL DEAL ARE ATTRACTED TO DANNY. PEACE OUT
what does “real deal” mean?
no offense but they is no popularity contest going on to see who gets the ‘most’ followers,i’m sure danny & adam don’t give a flying crap how many followers they get.
they = there
I din’t care about twitter but it helps to see how many fans they each have
i’m sure ALOT danny fans don’t use twitter or no about it.
I know but its nice to know he has at least over 70000
