E! Online: American Idol Record Deals: What’s Up With the Others?
Danny Gokey: “I'm sitting down with record labels next week. I hope to sort it out before tour. But I don't want to wait too long, the quicker the better.” In the meantime, he continues to grow his Sophia's Heart Foundation, which he created in honor of his late wife. “We're planning a food and clothing drive in Milwaukee. And we're looking for a facility there or here in L.A. for the foundation's events. We might have the L.A. facility running first before Milwaukee. It's a turnkey operation, so I can start running programs right away.”

I can’t begin to tell you the exciting feeling I have right now!!! He wants to open a facility in LA??? HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking into that! I would definitely work for them or volunteer or whatever! I had no idea they wanted to put a building out here! Okay, I’m looking out for that people!!!
Karylle on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 10:52 am
can’t wait for his album!!!
Good luck Danny!!! 
Lauri on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 10:57 am
I am so glad to hear that something is happening!! Anyone who snags Danny will not regret it that is for sure! I can not wait for his first album. I might even have to start listening to the radio again! It would be so awesome to hear Danny on the ray-dee-o!
Joanna Guo on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 11:33 am
yeah~
A facility in LA,that’s a great deal for him!
God bless him!
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 11:55 am
JennJenn I wish he was opening a facility in Chicago. I would definately volunteer. Milwaukee is pretty close, but not close enough to spend a lot of time with it. Hopefully he will expand to other cities as well. Chicago would be a perfect place.
I think that interview was done 2 weeks ago when they had press week. So the meetings he is talking about already took place and hopefully we will hear good news soon!!!
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 11:56 am
Any tweets from Danny today?
jennjenn on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 12:01 pm
Joanna – that’s for sure! I would love to see him spend some more time here in LA after the tour!
You’re picture turned out fantastic on the collage by the way – not sure if I told you that on Twitter…
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 12:03 pm
CHERYL HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THAT HE WANTS TO OPEN A FACILITY IN LA? YOU ARE SO BAD TO ASK DANNY IS IT NECESSARY FOR YOU TO WEAR CLOTHES WITH THAT BUBBLE TWEET, NAUGHTY NAUGHTY CHERYL!
jennjenn on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 12:04 pm
I haven’t had any Danny tweets to my phone yet – so maybe not
Yeah Chicago would be great for sure! I think him starting in LA is smart too cuz there’s a lot of power and big whigs that could possibly help him (haha) and then he can start branching out to other cities. That’s why I want to look into it – if they started something out here, I’d sooo be there!
deb hanson on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 12:39 pm
Wow that would be cool!! wherever Danny ends up going! I just feel we are about to get lots of good news from him!!!
and Jennjenn that would be cool and we know you would be there you are looking to be his bride=)
jennjenn on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 1:16 pm
DEB ** hahahaha well… if you want someone to know you – you gotta make an effort! haha I mean, I would be going to work with the kids, of course! but yeah, if i could talk to danny at the same time – icing on the cake!
deb hanson on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 1:47 pm

karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:17 pm
Jenn jenn,
That’s great for you…Opening a place in LA…You better sign
up to volunteer right away… You might be working away with
the kids and the door opens, and who should walk in but DJG,
what would you do???
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:20 pm
well our danny tweeted again!
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:27 pm
Cheryl, Danny just tweeted, and in case we forgot how he looked
with his scruff and glasses…He sent a hot picture to remind us.. I tell you what, he’d better get that scruff growing
again and get his glasses on because he is one hot guy…
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:31 pm
Our Danny is such a tease…Can you believe that we, his fans,
would forget what he looked like before he shaved….His looks
are burned into my brain….
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:32 pm
yeah danny is hot in his pictures
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:33 pm
Just look at all the gravatars…there’s no way we can forget
what Mr. Wonderful looks like…
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:35 pm
Latrece,
That picture he sent….Oh my, he’s so darn hot…I want that
scruff back…
Shirl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:44 pm
Jenn! Thought of you when he mentioned a facility in L.A.! Smart move not only for a good location for SH but he’d also be close to a real good woman (hee hee!)
AAAAAND! Didn’t he have to tease us all AGAIN by posting just about the hotest pic EVAH, with the glasses and scruff to show us what he looked like befoe he shaved! Yeah, like we’re all gonna forget! He needs a good spanking! LOLOL!
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:55 pm
Yeah Shirl,
He needs a good spanking….Which do you prefer, with or without the scruff….I had to leave a comment under his picture…..Love the scruff…
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:55 pm
ooh karen! anyway danny toss it is good to me, but YES he looks hot with scruff or without. Yes the scruff makes him our manly naughty boy in control type of guy!
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:57 pm
Can someone please post the picture here? Is it a new one? I want to see Danny with his scruff and glasses again. What a tease he is. He is now trying to overload our senses with 2 Danny’s. I can barely contain myself with just one! Please post the pic here!!!!!!!
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:58 pm
We can all get in line and spank him!!!
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:59 pm
Shirl– Danny has learned the art and ways of subtle tease! he is letting us know there is more teasing in store, so keep the fan near you or your drool rag ready!
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:00 pm
I was salivating just looking at his pictures from yesterday on backwards. The man is shrewed in his sexiness!
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:02 pm
CHERYL I see you are HUNGRY for some DANNY! if I knew how to post it, I would do it to give you your fix!
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:03 pm
Cheryl,
I don’t know how to post a picture….I may be wrong and
somebody correct me…I think the picture was when he was
singing “YASB” when he got voted off….
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:07 pm
yeah that is correct karen, I believe that is the picture. I am surprised he showed that picture as a reminder of the moment?!
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:11 pm
Latrece,
I had a feeling Danny was going to be voted off…I couldn’t
watch it….It tore me up…
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:14 pm
Hey Ladies,
I’ve been reading your commits and I agree. I love the scruff and the glasses. It’s funny how a few words from Danny about how he looks and the fans are screaming on the keyboard with their views and comments. I wonder if the other idols are jealous of adorable Danny and all of his adoring fans.
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:14 pm
Yeah I couldn’t look at it very long, I was literally devastated the next day. I did not realize that I could have such emotions over someone I have never met!
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:17 pm
I am going to teach a posting lesson for all those interested in making my day! on your own twitter page, go the danny’s message and highlight the link to the picture, put the mouse pointer on the hilighted link and right click on your mouse – a box will come up that give you an option to copy – click on copy. Now come back to this site to make a comment. Right click on the comment box and select paste. Voila it is posted.
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:17 pm
VickieCarol– everytime he sends a tweet his fans start to scramble like a bunch of wild chickens to gain his attention. Well danny has it like that!
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:17 pm
Hey Karen,
I know what you mean about the night Danny was voted off. I was so upset I was even sick to my stomach. It was so hard to watch the finale knowing that he should have been in the top two. That Kris, that was just pure luck. He is riding the wave now.
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:19 pm
Yes Latrece,
I love that description. You are so right.
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:20 pm
Cheryl ha ha for all of us illiterates we have a learning curve( different learning style) you have to demonstrate not vocalize. you are too cuteeee Cheryl!
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:23 pm
Cheryl,
You are such a genius with that stuff. You could teach a class.
Cheryl on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:23 pm
DANNY”S INTERVIEW IS NOW ON REALITYROCKS
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:25 pm
Let me tell you ladies what I did a few minutes ago. I was typing Jenn a tweet and when I typed jennifer_, I then proceeded to type gokey. I laughed at myself and I had to tell Jenn. She will think that’s so funny.
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:27 pm
http://twitpic.com/92au3 Here it it Cheryl
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:30 pm
Cheryl, I did it…Or should I say my husband helped me…
I’m learning how to do new things…..
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:33 pm
Aww Cheryl! I looked at the interview my heart melts just listening to him! amazing!
Great Karen you did it!
VickieCarol on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:38 pm
Cheryl,
Thanks for that link. I had been waiting to see that. It sure took them a long time to put it out.
Danny is so good at interviews. That’s a good trait to have since he will be doing interviews as part of his career, with promoting his music and foundation.
He’s such a sweet guy too, and so caring.
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:42 pm
Cheryl,
Loved that interview….Thanks for the link…. I thought Danny did a wonderful job….He really knows how to handle
himself….Did that Lindsey Parker not like Danny?? If so,
I think she did a turn around…
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:46 pm
Yeah our danny showed his true loving colors! in that interview, he looked gorgeous as usual!
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:48 pm
who is lindsey parker? did she hate danny before?
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:48 pm
VickieCarol,
I was really impressed with that interview…That Danny knows
how to handle himself.. Which do you prefer scruff or clean
shaven?….That was a sad night for sure…I knew from the
polls, or should I say, had that feeling…I still haven’t
watched when he was voted off or heard him sing his final
song….
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 3:53 pm
Latrece,
I don’t know if it was her that didn’t like Danny…I knew
one of those interviewers didn’t….Well, if she didn’t
like Danny before I think she does now…I think she was
impressed with our Danny…
deb hanson on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:02 pm
aww karen your husband helped you!! see he really loves you=) and your love for Danny!
jennjenn on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:04 pm
VICKIECAROL *** Just thought I’d check in on what’s going on today and saw your post! hahaha jennifer_gokey huh??? Yeah, that has a nice ring to it!
haha made me chuckle here at work.. i think that’ll get me through the next 3 1/2 hours! 
jennjenn on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:05 pm
Deb *** There’s more than enough time to change your pic if you want! It’s really easy for me to change – so just let me know!!
Latrece on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:09 pm
Hey gokey girls! did you all notice that smack from danny’s mouth while he was talking or is it just me? that smack sent chills through my spine!
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:42 pm
Deb,
What did you think of Danny’s “Tweet”?? He’s a tease for sure..
I had to make a comment under his picture…Does he read those
things??
karen h. on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 4:44 pm
I’ll have to go back and look at that interview…Don’t think
I noticed the smack…I was to busy looking at our Danny….
