Good morning/evening to all Gokey fans,
I’m having a very busy day at work, but wanted to share something with you, because it made me smile and feel happy this morning when I was on my way to work.
I was sitting in a tram and when it stopped at the traffic lights I saw this woman standing there waiting to cross the road and SHE WAS WEARING SHF’s T-SHIRT! That really made me feel happy and showed that I’m not the only Danny fan in Finland. I have to try to find out how to get in contact with the finnish fans, or maybe some of them visit this site, but don’t leave comments like I do.
Twitter: jancute
Good Morning Hannele, Ladies Im sorry I had to sleep very early yesterday. I guess I woke up very early though and Im the 2nd one to comment here. Hannele, that is great, Dannylove is spreading in every nation.
Ladies, I want to ask something. Sadly, there are only 12 Idols Live Tour concerts left, what will happen after in this site?? I wish It will still active and find some new discussions to discuss too. Any plans in mind??
Hi Gokeyguy, I also wish that this site will stay active and this has been discussed already earlier that people wish to continue keeping this site active. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of issues to discuss and Danny news will for sure keep coming in, even though it most likely will get more quiet on the news front. This site has such a great group of people that it would be a pity if we wouldn’t keep in touch.
Danny fever isn’t going to go down and I’m going to follow all the steps Danny is taking in building up his career in music and also his foundation.
GoodMorning Girls & Guy!!!
Last nights concert was unbelievable..The ST Louis Fans
were showing the Idols some kind of love.. The screams
for DANNY were amazing..Danny was so emotional when he
sang WHTM.. Guess it was because he was in the town where
he auditioned for AI and it was so close to the time
he lost SOPHIA.. DANNY was great as always!! I just love
it when he gets such a warm reception!!!
HANNELE
Hope you had a good week-end!! Know you had a lot going
on..I’m happy to hear about you seeing the FInnish woman
with the SHF shirt on. DANNY has more fans that we know
of that aren’t even on the internet!!!
HEard a rumor that maybe this AM we will be hearing
the big announcement..I’m so tired of all this worrying
about who DANNY will sign with and when..I just want the
announcement!!!
Twitter: jancute
Hey Karemn – Same here too. I wish the announcement will be announce today. As he said on the idolatry interview, he said way soon before the end of the tour.
GOKEY GUY!!
We missed you last night!! DId you get to hear any of
the cellcast?? I’ve been worrying about what we will all do
once the tour is over..It’s going to be rough not hearing
all this news about DANNY, I know things will be quiet
for awhile, until his album comes out and he starts
promoting it!!!!
GOKEY GUY!!!
There’s that word again SOON!!! I want that word taken out
of the dictionary!!!
Did you ever figure out what a “BLOw Fish” was??? LOL
Twitter: jancute
Karen – Yes I already know about that blowfish LOL. Silly of me, I didn’t open the other link that shows the blowfish. Yes Karen, you know since you mention promotions, I really agree of Danny going into reality shows and talkshows, In that way, he is not only promoting himself and his foundation to the millions of people, we may also see him on tv so we will not that bored and there is something to discuss on after the tour is done. I can’t wait for Danny to do those
GOKEYGUY
As much as I love the tour and seeing DANNY perform. I’m
ready for DANNY to get on with his career! Do you think
once he’s away from the tour, all these silly haters will
stop bashing DANNY??? MAybe they will grow up and get
a life!!!
Twitter: jancute
Karen – Im sorry I have to say this but, haters are haters, even famous celebrities have haters, we can’t erase them in this world. Danny is such a great personality but hes prone or vulnerable to hate because often his way to talking and his moves are often misunderstood. Hes so honest but in time, he will learn the rules of showbusiness. Its up to us fans to defend him for now because later on he will learn to defend himself, having said that, we will always here behind him. Im pround to be a Gokey Gangsta.!!
GokeyGuy!
Guess it’s to much to hope for..DANNY is pretty tough
and will learn the ropes of the business!! He’ll deal
with them like he always has. TRy to ignore them….
Twitter: jancute
Karen – Danny did great in ignoring them, like what he said, if you get affected by their hate that means they won at destroying you. Danny won’t allow that to happen to him but as you can see on tour, hes winning some haters and the haters love him at the end. Eventually, hate will subside. Danny can’t please anybody but he is certainly can please the most of non-danny fans for sure and that is what matters. Oh my, I think Im getting to sentimental.
GOKEYGUY
You can’t help but get sentimental when it somes to
DANNY..He has such effect on all his fans..We want nothing
but the best for our GOKEY!!!!
Michelle, Amanda, Cheryl, vc, Pam and Nancy, thanks for sharing your impressions of the Milwaukee AMERICAN IDOLS LIVE! concert and all the fun photographs. I look forward to reading the rest of the reviews!
I hope Danny never loses his refreshing honesty. It makes him vulnerable yes, but it also is a big part of what makes him loveable.
VC (I think it was you)–yesterday you said something about some pictures that would make me melt? What pictures are these? Could you post them again? If it was someone else, my apologies.
Off to work. I wish I could spend all day here instead. See you all tonight!
Actually it was Owlki who said she had pictures posted that would make me melt. What pictures?
Twitter: jancute
Karen – Yes you’re right. DJG is known for his emotional connection to the audience and Great Fans like us!! Karen and other ladies here, Can I ask you guys something? I hate to break your bubble for a second but I wanna know the ladies perspective here. Do ya’ll remember the Filipino Channel Interview to Danny a month ago? She asked Danny if he think he’ll fall in love again. He said YES but don’t know how soon he said but eventually he’ll fall in love again. What are your perceptions, initial reactions, feelings to this? Im just curious because I know you have mad love to our Danny here.
Twitter: jancute
Hey Helio – goodmorning!
Gokeyguy–
I don’t think Danny is the type of guy who will stay single for long. I think he wants to fall in love but I still think he’s grieving over Sophia. He also is going to be very busy starting his career and recording an album so I doubt he will have much time for a relationship, especially being the kind of guy who would throw himself 100% into a new relationship. I can tell Danny is not the casual dating kind. When he finally meets someone, he will give her his heart. I hope she takes good care of it.
But I think Danny could fall in love easily. Watch for a sudden drop in the the number of flirtatious tweets to his fans when he does. Knowing him, he probably won’t keep it a secret anyway.
Now I’m REALLY off to work.
Owlki, don’t forget to point me in the direction of the pictures you said I had to see.
GOKEY GUY
I know that DANNY wants to find love again and that
he wants to have children..I truely hope that he does
find someone that is worthy of him. I want him to be
happy and when the right lady comes along he will know
and make that leap!!! I don’t believe that it will be
anytime soon. Danny loved Sophia so much and was so
devastated when she passed away. Like DANNY said, his
heart has to heal!!
Twitter: jancute
Helio, Karen – Thank you for giving your sentiments. I have to say that Danny has very thoughtful fans when it comes to real life relationships. Maybe time will tell when love will struck Danny. But for now, he is showing mad love to us fans. I can’t imagine would be by media if Danny will meet someone maybe a couple of years from now. Or how would the media respond if he has a family. I think Im just crazy of saying that but it would be wonderful though seeing Danny has another love and kids too that just look like him very much.
Twitter: Owlki
Hello, peeps!
Did I? When?
Hi Karen, it’s great that Gokeyguy is keeping you company during early hours. I really miss our chatting in the mornings, but I just seem to have so many meetings during the mornings. Tomorrow I’m travelling on business so I won’t be able to check the news/messages until Wednesday morning finnish time.
It was so funny when you told that your husband sent to that article on Internet addiction.. I think your husband and my boyfriend don’t know what we are addicted to. I really wanted to come to the site yesterday evening after we got home from the confirmation party, but my boyfriend was watching me like a “hawk” so I finally gave up and sat down with him in order to plan our holiday at the end of October.
I really wish we keep this site alive even though we wouldn’t have fresh news on Danny all the time. We just have to hope that he keeps tweeting and letting us know what he is up to. These past months have been unforgettable and I don’t want it to end.
Good morning,
I’m headed off to work but was reading this about Carrie Underwood this morning”
Carrie Underwood’s next album will be titled Play On and is set to be released November 3. Check out the pretty album cover!
According to Idol Chatter, Carrie has been working in the studio with Mark Bright (producer and CEO of Word Records–Danny Gokey wants to work with him). Bright produced 2007’s Carnival Ride and some songs on her debut, Some Hearts.
Twitter: jancute
owlki – thanks for the great videos of the local FOX and the videos of the concert. I really like his brown cap gosh!! hehe He really did made a heart sign after DSB and other idols are doing it. Its really funny to watch though.
Lizzy – Yes, Carrie is such an amazing Idol too like our Danny. I really want Mark Bright to produce the first album of Danny because as we all can see he did a great job with Carrie’s. I wish since if they are working with the same producer, I wish there will be a collaboration of music from these artists. I know its a long shot but its not wrong to dream right?? hehe
Twitter: jancute
Hannele – Don’t worry, If you have free time, you can stop by here at this site so you will be updated. With fans like us, 24/7 keeping the love here alive even if the tour is finish and just waiting for the promotions and music videos eventually by our Danny to pop up.
Goodmorning Gokey girls and gokeyguy!!!– regarding the love issue, I think all of the ladies gave some very wise analysis about Danny’s feelings and time as it relates to love. I would like to add by saying, physically I think Danny is waking up(If you get my langage), but heart wise, it is still like a sea saw; his relationship with his wife was very deep and passionate so it is going to take a while to really heal, the healing part is a process that takes sometimes years. Because when I lost my brother, it took 3-4 years for some of the pain to really subside!! Now Danny may surprise us and decide he wants love soon and that is ok as long as he continues to process his first wife and putting that emotions into the right perspective. THere are no substitutes when you loose a loved one.
Gokeyguy, thank you for easing my mind!
Hi all! I AM BACK!
I see we have some new friends here. The more the merrier!
Frantically trying to check out what has happened in the last nine days. So disappointed to find Danny still is without a record deal. Can’t imagine what is going on. Sob, sob, sniffle, sniffle.
Twitter: Owlki
Oh, I see… Heliotrope66, I went back to read the comments and… it wasn’t me, it was pjgvet who told you about the pics… the link to her pictures have been posted already under Pam’s recap: http://iheartdannygokey.com/index.php/2009/08/30/pams-ai-tour-milgokey-recap/
Gokeyguy and Hannele_- I was disappointed friday when I did not get my wish come true of the announcement deal. I don’t really care to go into who he will sign up with but I wish an announcement would just come soon!!! I adore Danny and wish to see him go far. I believe he is going to be a megar star, and I would love to see him on DWTS and other shows to showcase his personality!!!
I normally only read, not post, but want to say Danny gave his usual stunning performance in Kansas City last night. Also, word is to listen for a Wednesday announcement!
Twitter: Owlki
Gokeyguy,
When I copied the link from Twitter, it joined the 6 from ’6 minutes ago’ in the link and I didn’t notice. That’s why it wasn’t working. Anyway, the shout-out to the filipino fans has been posted on the main page. You can search for the actual interview using the SEARCH box at the right top corner of the main page, using ‘filipino’ as the word to be searched. There’s no need to be reposted.
Twitter: jancute
Hannele – You’re welcome. Me too can be very busy so eventually Im away from my pc but if I have free time I will just stop by to see the discussion.. well goodluck to whatever you will be doing..
Hi Latrece, I totally agree with you. I have experienced a break up of a long relationship and it took me nearly five years to recover, even though I was the one who ended the relationship. It’s like that person died, because you were not able to see him anymore and it was too painful to even keep in contact.
I think that part of the reason why we adore Danny is that all of us (or at least most of us?) here at the site have experienced personal losses and can relate to Danny and what he has been through. He’s been having to mature in many ways a lot earlier than many other men at his age.
Twitter: Owlki
Maryann,
No need no cry. Danny does have a record deal, we just don’t know exactly with which label.
Gokeyguy,
You’re welcome.
Twitter: jancute
Latrece – Im with on that. Im just praying it will be announce like today or tomorrow. I can’t wait anymore!! hehe I wish Danny will do some hosting too because he’s a good talker and very funny too.
owlki – well thank you for clearing that. Its cute when Danny made a little heart to Filipinos, he’s just funny and goofy and really, If he visit the Philippines, he will be mobed easily there because Filipinos are in to AI and they love artists who are emotionally connected to the audience.
hannele soOO true regarding Danny, I hope this site is maintained when the tour ends too, I enjoy us posting womderful news regarding Danny; I would like to see the updates about any of the shows he may visit or any Danny news!!
Darla Reynolds I am glad you made a comment; we are just happy that Danny’s fanbase is growing and he has people globally who love him!!
Was so hoping I would return home to a wonderful surprise, owlki. I do have faith in Danny. If those promoting him were smart, they’d get the deal done and get an announcement out soon, while the tour is still on.
My oh my! Thanks for the link to Pam’s photos! Pjgvet, nice bum shots (sorry G-guy). It had to be said.
Good morning Darla. Nice to see you post. Thanks for the info.

Welcome back, Maryann! During the discussion on August 24, I responded further to your comment on Danny waking us up. Here’s a link, in case you missed it:
http://iheartdannygokey.com/index.php/2009/08/24/good-morning-gokey-girls-824-discussion/
LATRECE
ARE you working today.??.Guess the rumors were false..Wasn’t
8:30 time of announcement!!
Twitter: Owlki
On air now, interview with Danny Gokey coming for what I could gather.
http://www.1037kissfm.com/index.php
go to ‘listen live’.
Twitter: jancute
Karen – What rumors??
owlki – thanks, Im listening to it now.
Twitter: Owlki
They have a snippet of Matt saying ‘he takes his shirt off when he gets a haircut’… about Danny! LOL!
I’m studying to be a hairdresser, I want to cut his hair!!!!
Twitter: Owlki
On air now!
Morning R-squared! Listening owlki! Love it! THANKS!
Heading to Nashville to start working. YES!
No wonder he gets those short haircuts. If I was cutting his hair and he was shirtless, he’d be bald.
More to come… darn. Wonder when they’ll air the rest?
Karen I do not have to go to work to today but I do have to retire early tonight because I do have to get up early tomorrow. Darn it my computer is SOO slow!!
Maryann You haven’t been here in while??!! I am surprised!!
Latrece, thanks for the welcome. I have been a huge Danny fan since day 1, but I am old so am not too vocal on the blogs..lol
Just wanted to mention Wednesday as the day to be alert because that came from the man himself!
Darla Reynolds really??!! I wonder why they would do it in Madison WIS instead of Milgokey??!! Hmmmmm?
Darla Reynolds I hope I hear from you again, just drop in and make a comment when you get ready!!
Twitter: jancute
owlki – he hates hair!! LOL
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Darla welcome to the site and hi to everyone else!
Hannele loved your story about the shf t-shirt lady! Danny the International Star! Yay
Darla Do you know who he is rumored to be signing with? Wednesday is the Chicago show which I will be at – He will be so excited that day!
Twitter: Owlki
Here we use capes, people don’t strip to have their hair cut. LOOOOL!
OMG, I really wouldn’t be able to cut his hair… I’d be shaking and staring! ahahahaha!
What is Danny saying in that interview? Could somebody give me an update, because I’m leaving work soon and will log off.
Hi Latrece! Was on vacation with the family. No computer was our policy. Just family. It was real nice, but I missed my fun here. Actually got home late last night.
Can’t wait to hear Danny’s announcement. I am beginning to feel like I am twelve months pregnant.
Cheryl yeah you are right it is Chicago, where did I get Madison WIS from??!! I guess I have a brain fart. He did mention in the radio interview that he will be going back to Nasheville after the show to do his music; at least that is what I understood!!
I am sure owlki will put the interview up soon. I heard all I need to hear… will be heading to Nashville to work. Assuming this means to record.
DARLA R.
Welcome and please post…
Hopefully WEDnesday will be the day..There are so many
rumors flying around that you don’t know what to believe..
But if the info came from the “MAN” himself will listen
to what see happens!!!
Hi Cheryl, can you imagine if the announcement will be made on a day that you are going to see Danny in a concert AGAIN! You are one lucky lady.. I try not to be envious, but can’t help it.
Twitter: jancute
owlki – is the whole barber shop closed cuz Danny is half naked when hes having his haircut LOL!! Matt is just laughing maybe about it.
Maryann nad Hannele– I will be glad when danny announces his deal too. In the radio interview, there were a lot of talk about Danny likes his hair cut with his shirt off!! they asked him when will he be coming back to milwaukee ( I am not sure I heard an answer) but he did indicate that he will be going to Nashville for his music I believe.
Karen, left you a message earlier this morning to say hello, but you were not here at that time. Hope you are doing well and haven’t gotten into any trouble with your hubby over your Internet (Danny) addiction. I’m in trouble with mine!
MARYAnn
Sounds like you had awesome vacation, spending time
with the family..Always great to get back and catch
up with all the news of DANNY….
12 months pg, funny…
Heading to NASH to work, could it be????? Let’s have
some news!!!
Kiss interview excerpts still on going. Excerpts inter-dispersed with what appears to be regular programming. KA up next. Teasing that he might have something to share about Gokey.
So are they having an actual interview live?
Oh yeah, Karen. I’ve been having labor pains since early June. It is coming… could be any day now… any week now… any month now! Let’s get this thing done!
HANNELE
I was afraid you had already left after I saw your
comment..I do miss our talks..I’m better about handling
my husband. I’m not going to be a doormat anymore!!!!!
KAREN I hope he has some collaboration with NASH/SONY and Mark Bright but who knows!! I am just anxious for an announcement soon!! I know we hate the soon sorry!!
“When Kris grows up he can be a sexy man too!” Too funny about the chest hair! Allen on Gokey “He is a hairy beast”. Chest hair… yum!
owlki – thank you ! I just caught the tail end of that 103.7KISS FM interview. Funny, Kris Allen was telling that Danny sweats a lot in his red shirt on stage and he has a hairy back!
Maryann I hope this baby come soon or else the after birth is going to rott!! ha haha
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I was laughing so hard when Kris Allen told the story abut Danny sweating on his red shirt and the idols reading the rorschach prints!
Amy – it was live on the radion, but I am not sure if the interview was live or pre-recorded.
HANNELE
I really hate this time difference, it leaves us little
time to discuss DANNY and what’s happening with him…
And comlpain about our loved ones, and their attempts to
control our DANNY time!!!
R-Squared – your welcome!
pjgvet – awesome pictures! Especially like the closeup of Danny at the meet n greet. Maybe that should be our discussion pic tomorrow!
Karen, good for you! Danny is making our lives better in so many ways!
Sadly I’m having to leave just when the discussion gets going. It’s nearly 5pm and I’m leaving work to go to the gym. Tomorrow travelling the whole day, but I’ll try to read this evening’s comments early tomorrow.
Have fun!
Kris divulges the back hair. Me thinks he is jealous!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I didn’t cztch any of the early interviews on KissFm but thankfully they are going to post all of them. Can’t wait to hear them all!
Lizzy – I saw the same thing you did. There is a big Carrie Underwood press conference today and also Keith Urban is having one. The idols are off today, maybe, just maybe if he signed with Sony/Nashville – TODAY WILL BE THE DAY!!!
Cheryl – I only caught the tail end of Danny’s part – was it live?
Darla – what were you saying about Wed? I didn’t catch all of the interview. Did Danny say Wed was the day?
Twitter: pjgvet
Thanks for catching that interview Erika! That was hilarious! I thought Manny was funny; we are hearing more and more interplay with Kris and Danny- those two are funny also, with Kris dry sense of humor and Danny’s goofy one. Love the teasing that goes on. How about Kranny??
)
Helio- It was me on the melt pics. I have a couple of back shots of Danny’s shoulders/profile and also a couple of Danny close up (Matt too for any Matt lovers). The pic I took of Jen and Danny is well, lets just say Danny looks delicious (I cropped Jen out because I posted on several different sites and didn’t want to flash her pic around the net!)
So ladies- where did Danny say Wed announcement? Did I miss part of the interview? And what does this do to our speculation on labels (please don’t shoot me Latrece
daria why wed?
i have a source saying today will be the announcement
Beautiful photo pjgvet! So adorable!
Waiting and waiting.
Twitter: Owlki
The interview on 103.7 FM was recorded before the Milgokey concert. Absolutely hilarious!!!!! They said they’ll have the interview up on their website later.
He didn’t say anything about Wednesday on the interview. Darla mentioned it but she didn’t say where she heard him saying it.
Twitter: jancute
Be right back!
Morning all!
A few notes from yesterday’s discussion that I didn’t get a chance to input (I was doing homework for my college class)!
1. Stephanie, you’re not the only non-Cougar here. I’m 24.
2. My husband didn’t get a chance to meet Danny because he was taking our son home before the concert! But he’s a huge Idol fan and Danny fan and would have loved to meet him.
3. Yes, I did grab the guns. He was about to leave and my first picture had the sun right in between us, so I yelled his name and grabbed his arm. The second picture didn’t turn out as well as the first one…I like to say the first picture has a certain “aura” about it. But it was worth it to grab his arm.
I was talking to him before the Kansas City show last night and said I was anxious to hear THE announcement. He said yes, be listening Wednesday. He said nothing more than that about it.
MICHELLE
SUre hope you are right and today’s the day..We’ve been
waiting to long for this announcement!!!! TRying not to
get my hopes up..Been shot down to many times concerning
when!!!!
Twitter: pjgvet
Oh, Mandy, I’m so sorry your great hubbie missed Danny
Your son is adorable by the way.
You guys were all so nice- even tho I missed out on the BS passes the Gokey Gang scored, I’m glad I hung with you guys Friday.
So, was his arm rock hard??? And was his skin just as soft as his face??
Gawd, I’m a pathetic fangirl
Twitter: Owlki
Darla,
Let’s hope this time the announcement comes…
I honestly think some of the haters out there are actually Kris’ fans, not Adam’s. Adam is doing really well on the tour. He is getting a lot of pimping from 19E, whereas Kris seems to have been thrown under the bus. And a lot of Adam’s fans say they have always liked Danny. And Danny seems to be following Adam in as far as popularity and positive reviews from the tour. Now Danny has signed with a Country label – and some of Kris’ fans are thinking that is more suited for Kris. Also, the only Michael Jackson song performed on the tour is PYT by Danny. Kris is supposed to be a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and I would think that as the winner of AI, it would be appropriate for him to do a tribute. TPTB never gave him the pimp spot. I think there are also some bad feelings going back to the show where some of Kris fans were upset that he was ignored – and that Danny got the pimping (that they felt he did not deserve).
I follow TVoP (Television Without Pity). It’s funny – the people who trash Danny are the same people who put Kris on a pedestal. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Darla Let’s all hope it will come Wednesday. All this waiting is getting to everyone! I won’t ask anyone who they think it is with, because we don’t want to open that can of worms again!
DARLA R.
How lucky you were to talk to DANNY about the announcement..
The ST LOUIS show was awesome!! The fans were fabulous!!
Certainly showed DANNY some love!!!
Yes, I always feel lucky to talk to him about anything! Flying back home to TX now so wont be on here longer.
CHERYL<
WEDNESDAY is your day with DANNY again!! Wouldn't it be
awesome if it was announced right before the concert??
What a thrill for you!!!
Gokeyguy will you finish college in the spring of 2010 or do you have a ways to go??!!
Cheryl I just want the announcment over. I want to see him SOAR higher than he ever imagined!!
DARLA R>
Have a safe trip home!!! ENjoy your flight, if that’s
possible!!
Karen I could hear them giving sweet Danny so much love!! I am soo excited for the great reception that he is getting. I knew from th start of the tour that his popularity was going to grow big time; I believe once he leaves this tour, if stays connected on the twitter, update his fans regularly, and do several interviews on major networks, his popularity will explode!!! people are waiting desperately in the wings for Danny to release a CD and see him perform, they want his fresh, Genuine heartfelt music!!
Twitter: Owlki
Ok, people, I’m out. Have a nice day!
Mandy – are are you calling me a cougar? LOL!!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Ericka Good night TTYL
Jamie – interesting perspective! I have never thought of it that way.
I am going to comment about the AI pimping for Adam which I think as really just gone over-the-top. Did you all see the press release about Adam’s charity and how much money he has raised? Isn’t that usually reserved for the AI WINNERS? Carrie Underwood, etc? When does the runner up get a charity and all kinds of press about it? I agree with Jamie. AI is pimping their winner and Kris Allen has been kicked to the curb for Mr. Starlight!
oooh Michelle!! I am laughing so hard at your comment about Kris being Kicked to the curb for MR starlight!! ha hahaha I cannot stop laughing!!! OH MY MY!!!
PAM…those were fantastic pictures you took in Milwaukee…especially the closeup side shot of Danny. It doesn’t look like there were a whole lot of people there and the idols were able to spend some time with people. I so wish I would’ve gone down there at 3pm and THEN gone and picked my friend up at 4pm. We were talking about going to Madison, but she isn’t able to get off work on Friday.
In this video from 103.7 KissFM you get to hear the HUGE welcome for Danny when he came out last Friday…
http://www.1037kissfm.com/pages/4296479.php
Michelle, of course I’m not! I just know the word cougar was used yesterday by someone. LOL!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I am listening to 103.7, Has anyone noticed how many times they have played “Halo” Talk about overkill!
And in that video, I could pick out my friend and I on the floor at 3:00 lol…good thing my friend had a red shirt on and has white blonde hair!

Jamie, I think some bashers are Kris fans or Allison, but I really think the hard core haters are Adam fans because;
Their perception (false) that Danny is a homophobe
Adam tends to draw the “darker” personality fans
On AI where I posted a lot 95% of the real hate was obviously Adam fan (you could easily look up their home page and see if it wasn’t patently obvious in their post).
Two trolls to this day troll Danny’s folder-one is Mighty 1 who pretended to be a Danny fan, then admitted at the end of the season they were an Adam fan trolling. The other is Simonsayz, who is also Gokeyisadouche on twitter- a gay australian adam fan.
They are both pretty evil.
This is why so many Gokey fans, unfortunately pick on Adam (myself included at times), because of his immature, Danny bashing fans.
You are right tho, there are a lot of Adam fans who are decent and many do like Danny a lot, even as their second. A lot proclaimed their love early in the season for an Adam/Danny finale; until Danny got to be a threat to the title, and also until Danny misspoke when he was goofing around with Sarver (said he loved him in the “right” way, even tho he immed. realized that isn’t what he meant and corrected himself and Mike made it worse by saying “godly way”.)

Latrece,
I think after hearing the concert last Friday you and Michelle mean MRS. Starlight.
(sorry, his voice really did sound like a woman’s,lol)
I went back and looked at a couple videos…WLL didn’t sound bad, sounded like Adam. But after that, his voice was high and feminine. Not sure what that’s all about.
PAM…I think your assessment of why Glambert fans hate Danny is accurate. They perceived him then as a threat to AL winning and now because Danny is not afraid to say he is a Christian, they perceive him as a threat again. It makes no sense to me, but it apparently does to them.
Alright, so Pam and I have dubbed ourselves the Pathetic Fangirls. We are headed to Madison this Friday for our second round of Danny
Anyone else want to join us?
Twitter: pjgvet
Anyone else going to the Madison show?? Jen and I are officially groupies; we are trying to get tickets and go again!
Twitter: pjgvet
Jen, soooo funny you posted exactly when I did!!!!!!!!!!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
To me it doesn’t matter who the haters support. Adam, Danny, Kris, whoever are not responsible for their own fans’ behavior. I don’t think any of the idols condone the bashing. The majority of fans for all the idols are just like us. They love their favorite idol and have respect for the others. The haters are few in number, just have loud voices. It is in their natrue to hate and I guarantee that this isn’t the first time they have shown their immaturity and hate and it won’t be the last. I say what Danny says, they should get a life – they don’t even know him (nor do they know the other fans that they are bashing). It’s pathetic to me and for me personally their vile comments are not worth responding to.
Oh Pam and Jen, I’d love to go….there are still LOTS of good seats left inside, but I’d be more interested in getting pictures up close of the idols outside. My friend isn’t able to get off work to go and I really SHOULD go up to the cottage with my husband and FIL.
I would LOVE to go to another concert, but we really can’t afford it and I don’t want to be a burden on my parents for watching Cristian.
But have an absolute blast!
Jen & pjgvet – you fangirls are official groupies! LOL!! I wish I could go to Madison, it’s almost as close to me house as Milwaukee, however we are going to be out of town this weekend for a family wedding all weekend!
I am going to the Chicago show on Wednesday and hope to get some good pictures from the the second row!!
MICHELLE
2nd row…wow! That will be awesome!
Mandy – LOL, I was just teasing. I don’t know if I am a cougar or not. What is the official definition?
Cheryl – I commented also about how many times 103.7 plays “Halo” it is really too much!
Nancy, I will be close enough to throw something, but what?
Latrece – it’s absolutely true! Kris Allen is an AI afterthought at this point. All I can say is I am so glad it was not Danny!
Jen and pjgvet – are you guys up for another church service? You will be close to Beloit!
Amy or owlki – I think we need a new blog post – “I<3 Fan Girl Grabs Danny Gokey's Guns!" LOL!!
Twitter: pjgvet
No thank you on the church service Michelle
I did enjoy the one, but….
I think u should throw flowers! I noticed Sophia seemed to like Lily’s in some of the pix DAnny’s posted.
Twitter: jancute
Im back!! Latrece I finished college last year.
Jamie – I agree with you. My sister is a huge Adam fan and she said that many Adam fans really liked Danny now. She also said that there is no Kradam Fans anymore. I dont know the whole story but that is what it is. Most of them supports the Lambkey now and I think its great. what do you say?
Twitter: pjgvet
Gokeyguy,
Interesting!
I think Kradam only exists on the internet anyway. Vast majority of fans have no clue.
How does your sister know that Adam fans really like Danny now?
someone smart enough to ask danny
good job daria
Twitter: jancute
pjgvet – she has an accounts in Adam sites and that is what she told me that many Adam fans are loving the Lambkey duo. She said maybe because of the issue of Kris beat Adam in the Finale or mystery issues that are not publicly done. In the long run, the reason why there is Kradam is because they are the top 2, they are roommates, they belong to the group 2 in top 36, and somehow they have the “bromance”?? plsssss..
is it wed yet?
Michelle,
You know how DANNY likes to eat?? How about some toostie
Bad idea????
rolls put in a nice cellophane bag, tied with red ribbon
with card attached.. “SAW you in MIL”" something like
that!!! Know DANNY would like that!!! Because he likes
sweets!!
Twitter: pjgvet
Gokeyguy-
I know, I don’t see the big “Bromance”. They certainly seem to be friends, but now that the tour started I really don’t see them hanging together- Kris seems to have taken more of a liking to Danny and company!
I suppose a lot of Adam fans can like Danny now that he is not a threat to Adam anymore, both on AI, and also since he is going country will not be in direct competition to Adam record sales.
Adam fans shouldn’t blame Kris for Adam losing; I think Danny fans are actually more responsible in that they appeared to mostly vote for Kris in finale (not all, i know)- but Kara even called it-said wherever Danny votes went, that would be the winner.
Thank you for being the voice of reason Cheryl. You are a better person then me for sure.
I tend to take it personally when the haters begin to tear Danny apart. It doesn’t bring about the best behavior in me, and I begin to think of them with malice. Not the best. It truly serves no one.
I’ve done alot of thinking about the ways in which Danny effects me. When he is picked on, I become a protective momma bear. When he speaks of his hopes for the future, I become his biggest cheerleader. When he turns on the sexy, I reluctantly subside to my inner fangirl. When he sings with such passion and joy, I am uplifted. When he demonstrates his faith by treating his haters with compassion, I am in awe.
Twitter: pjgvet
Welcome Maria! Have you posted before?
Michelle, I heard the Idols aren’t allowed to eat any food give to them by fans for securtiy reasons (although I bet they sneak some.), I know Gokey Gang gave him a bunch of chocolate last Friday.

Maryann, that was very eloquent.

OMG, Cheryl I just noticed you passed Karen for comments this month! But prob. only because Karen was on vacation

Flowers or candy is a good idea. How about a plush purple, pink or red heart. Something similar to this:

GOKEYGUY
LAMBKEY???? That’s really strange..and hard to imagine…
Haters are saying this???
Twitter: jancute
pjgvet – ok here are my analysis of that issue Kris winning and all.. First, Adam lost probably because of the “GAY” issue. Second, Kris has all the tweenies voting for him because of his “pretty face”. Third, Probably Danny was right, that they share similar following because in the background in church and music styles. Fourth, Adam is exaggeratedly “Pimped” during the competition that the audience are tired of hearing and seeing every week. FIfth, that darn “Heartless” cover of kris that the people come to think of it that kris was marketable and relevant in today’s music (Sadly, that song costs Danny’s crown to AI). Sixth, Danny Fan’s revenge on all the hate that Adam fans threw on Danny the whole entire season.
Twitter: pjgvet
There has always been Lambkey fans (or Gokebert as Danny fans call them) on AI. One even started in Danny’s folder a thread with numbers for them. The Adam fans told her she could not put it in Adam’s folder (she is actually primarily a Glambert). Of course we welcomed her in Danny’s folder, we’re not like that.
That’s why I’m just leery about the intentions of so many Adam fans. Remember the bad review I posted last night from AI in Milwaukee of Danny (He was “overrated, boring, her 9th fav”)? That was an Adam fan. And so hypocritical- bashed DAnny for only coming out 5 min. in his hometown ( I set her straight on that score-just because SHE left doesn’t mean Danny did!), when Adam doesn’t even come out before the concert ever anymore.
But most you meet in person are very nice.
Twitter: jancute
Karen – believe it or not. Yes, Yes, Yes.!! My sister told me that any friend of Adam’s is a friend of the Glamberts.. Karen, you’re not dreaming..
Here, for you to see one of the examples of Lambkey moments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JiC5bBNihg
Twitter: jancute
Karen – the part when Danny twirl the Big Bra
Twitter: pjgvet
Gokeyguy, your analysis is right on IMO, except I disagree about the gay issue. I really don’t think many people voted against Adam for that reason. I actually think it helped him; besides being flamboyant what other thing about him gained him lots of media buzz/attention (Rolling Stone)- potential first GAY IDOL.
CHERYL
I like that heart you showed!!!! Maybe a stuffed “SHUNK”
with a big red bow tied around the neck with card attached????
Twitter: pjgvet
Have to head out, may check back before work, otherwise tonight!
Twitter: jancute
Ladies, be reminded that the Glamberts are the good and less mean ones to Danny. The most evil and very mean ones to Danny are the Lambskanks and many to mention..
Twitter: jancute
pjgvet – I don’t know, I just read it from something or it is in an interview. Maybe somehow it costs him the crown well maybe there are many critics when it comes to that issue or being a conservative by other people.
Twitter: pjgvet
Ok, I checked out that video and the comments- I saw no lambkey love at all! All Adam fans saying Danny just wants to be a rock star and copy Adam, yeeeesyh. All negative comments by Adam fans.(with thumbs up by other people). One girl said “Lots of lambkey in this” but made a sign like this D:, which is a frown unless she made a mistake.
Funny- someone mentioned how Kradam isn’t as strong anymore and how Kris hangs around with Danny, said it was because they were “tired”. Please, maybe they should just consider they really get to know each other on the tour and perhaps Kris has decided he just really prefers to hang around with Danny and friends
GOKEYGUY
You’re my buddy!!! So funny…..
Hate to tell you this, but DANNY beats A&K by a
mile!!! Twirling that bra, what if it accidently came
up and hit in the eye????? OUCH!!!!!!
Twitter: jancute
pjgvet – well actually the “lambkey love” they are talking about is when Danny faces Adam, I don’t know about that maybe they just making it cause they hate kris now but if you see it again, its pretty cute. Its like, “hey Adam, is this how to throw a bra? Adam said ” Yes Danny, twirl it like that”.. something something like that haha LOL
Karen – Yes you’re right, Isn’t it cute how Danny threw that bra? I mean its dangerous cuz maybe someone just got hit by a loose bra in the air. My sister said Danny throws like a girl.. LOL its also cute when he mocks Allison with the “t-rex” hands and doing those cute dancing whatever haha
Cheryl – this is your last day of Aug to hit the 2,000 commentor mark! We know you can do it!
Karen – Lily gave Danny a bag full of sweets in Milwaukee. Honeybuns and chocolate. I know Mandy gave him some Honeybuns also. Haven’t heard a thing – don’t know if he wants more sweets or if he is trying to stay in shape? I know Michael said he was dieting and has lost a lot of weight! He is quite the southern gentleman for sure!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Michelle I’m giving Karen a chance to catch up today! I have to go to lunch and then shopping (more birthaday/anniversary presents), and then to a baseball game, so Karen – keep commenting and you will catch up and maybe even make it to 2000 before I do!
Hello! Another 2 hours just to read all the messages and now I have to run some errands and no time to join the disvussion. I have nad a real rough couple of days/nights with IBS pain and just can’t catch up enough to post. the medication I take for that has a side effect of blurred vision so it takes me forever to read the page. But I so enjoy reading all the messages and yes, I have to read every single one
If that KISS radio station posts that video again where Kris talks about a hairy sweaty Danny, someone please share the link here!
So now we have to wait for Wednesday for The Big Annoucement? Will believe it when it cones! LOL!
Twitter: pjgvet
Sorry, Danny doesn’t throw like a girl! He is the most athletic one out of the lot of them
I think its difficult to throw a bra no matter how you do it!
Twitter: jancute
pjgvet – Yeah! I totally disagree with my sister about that. For me, its kinda cute when he threw the bra. He is like a child playing with a discuss. He thew it hard that it landed in the back side of the Bradley Center LOL!

GOKEYGUY & pjgvet
Talk about DANNY’S throwing..I remember at Homecoming when
DANNY threw the first ball at the Brewers game. He really
threw it high and the catcher had to jump high to catch
the ball!! LOL DANNY just laughed about it..
@joelkonecny Will @dannygokey come to pay his respects to you today? (via @frankmpc) unless he wants me to streak across the stage he will
@joelkonecny have fun seeing Danny… hopefully you get to see him! (via @FunnyMonkie) YouTube videos to be posted later
Does anyone want to buy @joelkonecny from me on Buytter? Please?? (via @bridgofaith) oh that’s cold
@joelkonecny got a vid to show you. will post it later. @dannygokey gave you a shoutout.
(via @lacastilleja) ooooo, I can’t wait
@tonyaam @dannygokey respects his ‘elders’-i.e. @joelkonecny! lol (via @lacastilleja) only guys better looking then he is and big boobs
@AllanJP_DK @joelkonecny is the Web God. He rules the
Internet. (via @frankmpc) someone is gonna get e-laid tonight!
@joelkonecny If it is OK with you, I prefer our relationship to be Plato-electronic. (via @frankmpc) you are dead to me
joel and frank are hilarious lmao
RACH
Agree with you about DANNY looking hot in that picture!!!
His scruff looks great and love the glasses he’s wearing..
@joelkonecny (Sobs) I can always follow Evan Williams you know. He might not be as smart as you but he won’t break my heart like this.
i swear them two should do a comedy act together
RACH
You can be pretty funny yourself, when you talk to
those two..They are funny!!
Twitter: jancute
Karen – Yeah!! I don’t know if the “GUNS” have anything to do with that throwing so high????? LOL!!!
Joel’s been kind of quiet on twitter.
Karen – LOL! I remember that I was at that Brewer’s game and he said he was not a baseball player and I think he was nervous that it wouldn’t make it all the way to home plate so he just launched it and it went really high!
GokeyGuy – I think his “guns” have gotten bigger since then! LOL!
Shirl – that interview was so funny. They were almost done and Kris just sorted of said, “Let me share one funny tidbit about Danny” “He sweats a lot on stage” and they laugh every night because the sweat forms different shapes on his back. I am paraphrases now. Then he said, you don’t want to hug him after the show – LOL!
Michelle
Have you thought about what you are going to throw??
This will probably sound stupid, but you know what I
would throw???? A hat, you know the brown one he always
wears..One like that but a different color, with a
card attached to it!!!! I don’t think he would throw
it back…..
maria(maria) – no it’s not Wed yet!
Karen – I need to be careful, don’t want to get booted out of the concert! You do have to be careful what you throw because the artist’s could trip on it if they dont’ see it.
Maybe Wolfgang needs to make an appearance on stage? LOL!!!
Twitter: jancute
Michelle – LOL! He’s a baseball fan!! and a player?? Im a bowling player, I wish he was too.
I see it has been pretty low key today?? well I am going to go to my favorite restaurant and chill on this beautiful day.
Gokeyguy maybe we will hear something some??!! Bye!!
Michelle,
I didn’t think about that..Wouldn’t want DANNY to fall!!!
SMart thinking!!!
Slow day today…Where is everybody????
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I think it’s funny Kris said you don’t want to hug Danny after the show. I would love to jig his sweaty body and soak myself in his sweat!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Jig? My iPhone puts the weirdest word corrections in. It should be hugs!
I’ve seen a few photos from concerts with Danny’s arms raised and have noticed the sweat rings under his arms!
Here’s a link to a bunch of Idol interviews on KissFm
http://www2.1037kissfm.com/listen
OMG I was just watching all DANNY’S past performances
on AI…YRSB, oh my, DANNY was HOT HOT HOT !! CROCS!!
I wish I could understand why he didn’t make it to the
final!!!!
What is annoying with the KissFm interviews are the interviewers won’t shut up. They talk over Danny and act all stupid.
I’m with you CHeryl, I’d only be happy to hug DANNY
after he gets through performing!!! HUMMMMMM
So Kris isn’t interested in being a recipient of Danny’s full on wet hug. Good. More for us to share!
Twitter: kiady
Hi everyone =) oh i would love to hug Danny after before during the show it doesn’t matter..since I could get the unique chance to get a hug from that handsome and breathtaking man *sigh
Yep. You got it Claudia. It is a man thing.
Was just listening back to the Kiss interview. Adore the way Danny proclaims himself to be a “man’s man”, that doesn’t want to dish secrets, and does not need to prove how manly he is to anyone.
Got to love it, and love him!
Twitter: kiady
i love his laughs during the interview lol he’s so sweet…and i love the fact that he whispered “Wednesday” once we can all hear it lol
Twitter: kiady
“…and you have to hurt people…i’m not that guy” awww we know he isn’t…that’s one of the reasons why we love him =P
Hallo ladies,whoops,sorry-and GokeyGuy!Cheryl, you might have noticed I did a disappearing act last night!Not like me but I was very ill and have been all day-I am so stressed ,I am finding it very hard to stay positive in this situation-but, you don`t want to hear my problems-I haven`t had a `catch up`yet-thought I would come here-I`ve heard the Wednesday announcement rumour-hope it`s right, Cheryl you will be in for a good show if it is!I WISH I could be there-just think-before my daughter was born I was all set to emigrate to New York- had a good job offer in promotions-Wow,I would have been having a great time now!! I haven`t caught up with last night either, but I did see the `age`debate!GokeyGuy, you are so YOUNG-you sound so mature-Is there a show tonight, I`m out of touch
Twitter: Owlki
Hello, people!
Just popping very quickly before leaving for the day.
I debated with myself about posting that review where the guy says that Danny is ‘musically dull’ but I did because of what he said about Danny’s connection with the crowd. I get what he says, though… I wouldn’t listen to most of the songs Danny sang on AI and on the show if it wasn’t for Danny singing them.
WEDNESDAY!!!
oes happy dance: I didn’t hear it while they were broadcasting but on the recorded interview you can hear it very distinctively, even though Danny whispers it. YAY!
Carole55
Sorry you’re not feeling well..No concert tonight!!
Will miss not hearing DANNY..He’s in NASH. now, working
on some music..SHF is also there so he might be doing
something with the foundation!!!!
Twitter: Owlki
and on the 103.7 FM interview, be sure to check out Matt’s and Kris’ interviews as well. They’re hilarious!!!
I posted it and them noticed that Amy posted it as well… LOL! We were both posting it at the same time… I deleted mine. =)
Boooooooooo no announcement today.
Just checking in after work. What is this about Wednesday and Danny whispering it in an interview? Which interview? I also read something about him telling Darla that something will come out Wednesday. Is that correct?
Geeez, now I gotta get excited for Wednesday. This roller coaster ride is driving me crazy.
Okay, I found it – it’s the kiss FM interview. Yes I heard the Wednesday. Okay, we have Danny saying twice Wednesday – if it’s not Wednesday he is in BIG TROUBLE.
Oh and I was thinking about Kimberly Locke today for two reasons: She came in 3d like Danny (Season 2) and she signed with Curb Records (a label within Warner Music Group like Word is). It is interesting that she signed her record deal on Sep 6th before the tour was over and she was NOT signed to 19E. So it is possible to sign with another label and make the announcement before tour ends.
I never even heard the whispered Wednesday! I’ll have to go back and listen. The guys doing the interview were annoying me so, I think I stopped listening!
Pjgvet,
I have not seen your MILGOKEY review at Mj’s. Why am I not surprised that there is not one Milwaukee Review posted there – too much Danny love I suspect. Anyway, can you posted it below and I will contact MJ and say that I am posting it for a friend and you should title it Pam’s Milwaukee re-cap not your screenname. I titled mine Elizabeth’s Philadelphia re-cap and she posted it. I am going to ask her why there are no Milwauakee reviews posted.
Thanks
Hello!
I haven’t heard the interview yet–I’ll have to catch up on the new goodies after I drive my son to his kung fu class. However I have caught up on all the posts. I am getting SO tired of the word SOON! I sure hope the announcement is no later than Wednesday because if that’s another false alarm I don’t know what I will do!
I definitely think AI is throwing poor Kris under the bus, and I agree that many of the haters are not in fact Glamberts and Lamb Skanks but are actually Kris fans. More later, I have to drive my son to his class now. Hold that thought…
Twitter: jancute
whoa!! Slow day today.. maybe because theres no concert today!! Carole55 – I sounded mature?? well Im 22. this is how I reason and analyze things.. When it comes to Danny, I became more defensive for him cuz he’s really my Idol.
Twitter: kiady
NancyinWI, it’s almost in the end of the interview… listen carefully at 2:54!
Hi, I`ve just watched the latest videos and interviews-glad I caught up withe the Fox News coverage,with Dannys family as I just missed it on friday-I couldn`t hear the `Wednesday`, whispered in theKiss interview, but haven`t got sound too loud as grandson asleep-Wonder what time?Back to the laptop for the day, I think!After all this time, to miss it would be just awful-
Claudia
I’d be glad to hug Danny when he’s all sweaty, when
he’s not sweaty, anytime at all.. I watched all of DANNY’s
performances on AI, he really has changed from the audition
to the finale, He’s so hot…HUMMMMMMM
Twitter: kiady
KAREN H.(m scracker), that’s what i meant =P but i’m too far from him… you have more chances to hug him that i do unfortunately =(
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I guess Wednesday is the big day! I caught that whisper when the kiss FM people asked Dann when he was announcing. So it will be on the day I am at the Chicago concert. Michelle aren’t you excitd you will see him on the day he announces? Whooot Whooot!
I was talking before about how many Kris fans are hating on Danny, sometimes more than Glamberts (many of the ones I know actually like Danny). Keep in mind that most of Kris’s die hard fans are kids, and they don’t have a lot of maturity yet to not hate on other idols, especially if they feel that idol is somehow “stealing” their favorite’s thunder. Many Kris fans are upset because Kris has been getting less fan attention on tour than Danny, less positive reviews in the press, and there seems to be more general excitement over Danny’s imminent record deal. Kris has been sort of lost in the shuffle, having signed along with Adam and Allison. Kris fans don’t hate on Adam as much because they perceive a “bromance” between those two, while Danny and Kris have never appeared to be that close. I think it’s also a case of settling-they always knew Adam was the big attention getter, but thought with Kris winning and Danny being third, that Kris would inevitably overshadow Danny, while they knew there was never any chance he would overshadow Adam. So when Danny began to outshine Kris, they became resentful–how could a third placer outshine the winner and get more love?
As long as Adam continues to be the “star,” his fans are not going to hate on Danny that much, but the minute Danny begins to get more love than Adam, their claws will definitely be out. Adam does seem to have a lot of cougar fans, while Danny’s fans run the gamut from teens to people in late middle age. I think Danny actually has the widest age appeal, and that’s why I think his album may do the best of anyone’s this season, possibly even outselling Adam’s over the long haul.
Allison’s fans tend to hate on Danny too, because many of them still think Danny somehow “stole” her rightful third place spot during Rock Week. Fact of the matter is, Allison never had that big a fanbase, so no matter how good she was on Top 4 night, she never had a chance against Danny, whose fans voted especially hard to save him after Scream On.
Many of the Adam fans I know say they would have preferred an Adam/Danny finale, because it would have been more exciting and seemed more like a competition (even though Kris won). They perceive Kris as a lightweight.
Lambkey (or Gokebert) is alive and well. While more of Danny’s fans probably did vote for Kris after he was voted off, quite a few actually voted for Adam (including yours truly).
Now I almost wish I voted for Kris though, because of the diva-ish way Adam’s been acting. During the show, he always seemed pretty sweet and personable, but maybe that’s just an act too.
Hello ladies! (and Gokeyguy!
)
Claudia
What was your favorite performance on AI?? CROCS is my
favorite!!!!!
STEpahie (actress)
Are you working tonight?? Things are so slow on here
today..No cellcast tonight!! What are we going to do
after the tour is over?? NO DANNY for awhile!! Wednesday
is the big announcement day. That came from DANNY himself!!
If it’s another one of his teases, I’ll go crazy. Right
now he is in NASH. working on music!!! Wonder if he has
any new boo boos for you to take care of????
Karen Nope! I am off of work until thursday!
And I am so happy about the announcement on wed!!!! can’t wait! 
I can think of TONS of things to tlak about until his album comes out!
Danny is in Tenn???? that the closest he’s been to me since he came to Tampa! lol! is that pathetic that I keep track of how far away he is from me???? lol! jk!
Twitter: kiady
KAREN H.(m scracker), WHTM =) but i love all of them..
This tweet from Danny just came to my attention.
KC I enjoyed you! We should do it again. Thanks @ACookOfficial for providing the BBQ dinner for all of us! It was Yummy!!
about 10 hours ago from web
Why do I find it slightly amusing that Danny was fed by Andrew Cook’s webpage? That was nice of them.
So Danny will be recording in Nashville? If so, that means he’ll probably be living there for awhile. I live in NC and knowing Danny is living within less than a day’s drive will be VERY tempting for me. I must control my stalker urges! LOL
Karen
BTW I had another Danny dream last night!
Well, well. ACookOfficial is following Danny! Danny needs to follow Andrew now too.
Twitter: kiady
BTW everyone, if you want to follow me on Twitter my username is Kiady there..basically i just use my twitter account to follow Danny and reply to him haha and to know the news about him…i follow this site of course =P i think you might do not use AI forums since there’s a lot of activity here and on AI forums it’s been quiet lately, but my username there its _Claudia
i always have dreams about danny….that’s just it DREAMS then there’s reality lol
danny tweeted this:
Finally a day off!!! About to check out the city. What should I do??
Rachel thats pretty much all I got at this point! haha!
how come Aofficial Fun night, Thanks @Allison4Realzzz, @KrisAllen4Real, @michaelsarver1, @adamlambert, @ImMattGiraud, and @IdolScott TASTE THE MAGIC!!!!!! but not danny hmmm…
Twitter: jancute
Hi Stephanie!!
Karen – Wednesday?? Is that true?? Danny said that?? I think I missed something.. Is that from an interview??
Helio – Oh my, you’re very lucky cuz Danny would be very near to your place if he start recording. SHF has also place in Nash. Im in Virginia.. but your place is much nearer. hehe. So Kris, Allison and somehow Adam fans has a reason to hate Danny then?? Gosh!! why is hate exists in this world.. Poor Danny, we fans doesn’t have that harsh hate to give to their Idols!!
Danny must be bored again.
lol me too stephanie i had a dream that i got brain cancer and danny married me and we had kids lol i was like wow i have to get brain cancer for a him to marry me lol.
Twitter: kiady
Well everyone i’m going to sleep. Good night to you all. here’s 00:46 am. Sleep well *
Dream about our Danny =)
OMG, Rachel, that is horrible! I mean, about having brain cancer, not marrying Danny. But Danny’s the kind of guy that would shower you with love if the unthinkable did happen. He would never abandon a loved one if they became ill. He’s already proven that he wouldn’t.

Well everyone i’m going to sleep. Good night to you all. here’s 00:46 am. Sleep well and dream about our Danny =) when night gets there lol
Hello Claudia…and goodnight!
Goodnight, Claudia.
i hope danny does not get in trouble for saying WED
he did whisper so maybe we were not supposed to hear it
it was weird because after i had that dream i had a bad headache stephanie.i was like omg maybe my dream will come true lol yeah right.
Rachel, that is horrible and happy at the same time! lol!
My dream was because I didn’t get to meet him in Tampa, Danny invited me to listen to his recording session. I was listening to him singing one of his new songs on his album and just started crying! the song was so beautiful! (but I can’t remember what the song was! lol) he asked me what was wrong and I told him that the song was amazing! and he gave me the biggest hug in the world (and a kiss on the cheek!
)
aww that’s a sweet dream,i probaly won’t get to meet him either =/ why things are going now i doubt i’ll be able to get to go to the concert on saturday inless a miracle happens.
why=way
Rachel its gonna happen one day! I keep believing that it will!
Wednesday it is! Do I hear a motion for Dan’sday? Tis going to be great!
Sunshine Girls KC review:
Danny – Awesome Danny! Wow! I knew the guy was going to sound awesome, but man, it’s a whole different experience hearing him live! He started with PYT and really got the crowd going. They loved him and ate up everything he did. We were screaming our heads off for him! Then he sang some kind of Latin pop song called Maria Maria. Not a fan of this song, but I enjoyed his Latin flair..he did very well with it. Then he sang two Rascal Flatts songs, What Hurts The Most and My Wish. Absolutely awesome! I could totally see him doing something in the vein of modern country with a bluesy twist. I got absolute CHILLS during My Wish and they’re coming back now just by writing about it! His voice is just flat out awesome. I think I even may have underestimated him some during his run on the show.
How am I going to make it until Wednesday? I bet we weren’t supposed to hear that! Danny is such a little boy sometimes. I love that about him, that he sometimes just blurts things out because he gets so excited.
slow day today….

Lizzy, I saw that review on the mj site. She’s very brave to say she used part of AL’s set for her restroom break, lol.
Very nice comments on Danny’s set from her.
Twitter: jancute
Hey ladies,
Be right back !!
I’m surprised that DANNY has been able to keep it
secret this long..you know how he likes to talk. I
wonder if that is why he hasn’t done a bubbletweet,
afraid he might say something?????
i’m watching CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL:country’s night to rock,hopefully we’ll see danny on there some day.
if you listen to lady anterbellum they don’t sound country.
STEphanie (actress)
A kiss on the cheek, come on Steph. who are you
Sorry there is no cellcast while
fooling???
you are off today..But just think you will be here WEd.
night.. for the concert and the celebration of DANNY”S
announcement!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBk07l2aKrE
i love this song
LIzzy
Nice recap! She was loving DANNY!!!!!!
Karen, actually yah that was all that happened, I woke up right after that
I cant wait for wed!!!! I just might die!!! AHHHHH!
STEPHANIE (actress)
You didn’t dream long enough!!!
Karen my sisters cat woke me up!
But I know that there would have been more if I stayed asleep 
matt tweeted this:
ImMattGiraudHanging with @caseypcarlson @Michaelsarver1 and @dannygokey we checked out the fair. No ferris wheel rides but we had fried twinkies…wow
i’m glad they’re having fun on they’re day off.
Hey Gals-This is the first time I’m commenting-I check out your website everyday!(It’s awesome!) I have to get my Danny fix!
I was at the Milgokey concert…FABULOUS!
My comment is on the interview our local station did with Danny. First of all…I’d love to give Danny a haircut! Second if you listen close, someone says the “announcement” will be Wednesday.
Let’s hope so. I can’t wait for Danny to show them all what he’s got.
Stephanie (actress)
I remember the first time I ever saw DANNY, his audition..
He was my favorite..Didn’t miss a single performance,
until the night he was eliminated, I just had a feeling
that he was going to be voted off..And couldn’t bring
myself to watch it..I still haven’t watched his final
performance of YRSB..To emotional for me!!!!! I cried
like a baby!!!!
Rachel they should have tried a fried snickers!
Slow night tonight
I haven’t joined in on the discussion because my meds cause blurred vision. The font on this discussion page is almost too small for me anyway because my vision is really bad.
Well, looks like “soon” just might be Wednesday! I have decided to give up worrying over who Danny has signed with because he seems pretty happy about how things are going right now, or so he is saying in his interviews. I guess it’s a toss-up between Word and Sony-Nashville. Or maybe I don’t have a clue! LOL!
kellie pickler was just on she’s funny
RACH
Guess that means that DANNY didn’t go to NAshville
today..Thought he had some music to do or something
like that..Had you heard that????? YOu hear all kind
of things…
Oh my goodness, Heliotope! What a problem you are going to have!
One hour is definitely too close for comfort.
Let me know when you need bail money.
Wow, my bad. I just got off work….obviously everyone else already knows.
-OR- Some extremely good disguises!
Shirl,
I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your
meds and it’s causing you problems!! Hopefully
it will clear up soon….
Karen my sister was the one who turned me on to Danny. I wasn’t even into AI but she was, I was walking by the living room and she was like “hey you should check out this guy coming up, I think his name is Danny something” Just to get her off my back I stayed and watched. When he came on I was just like….OMG! he is something special! Then I heard his story and cried a little. I watched every week since and even watched the elimination (it was the hardest thing EVER)
Speaking of country artist, I was surfing for clues. Found that the folks at http://www.mirandalambert.com are talking about Danny’s pending deal. Interesting. Although, some are not so sure he has the goods… if they only knew!
slow night but heres some pictures for ya’ll

Maryann, those Adam fans are saying that, but deep down I really don’t think they BELEVE it. They just don’t want to give up tne negativity.

Wednesday, huh?
I. Can’t. Wait! I know we all know but it will be nice for the official announcement!
12 days until I get to see him live…but who’s counting?

that’s all for now.
get better shirl =)
Can ya’ll imagine what it’s going to be like when
the tour is over and there are no cellcast??? BOring!!!!
Karen we will just have to use our imaginations! lol!
thanks Rachel! love the pics! so clear!
Rachel, thanks! And thanks also for keeping us supplied with so many yummy pics of Danny!
Karen, we are all so spoiled right now, it will be a big letdown when the tour ends. No more callcasts, tour pics and videos. We will just have to be patient and wait for whatever crumbs we can grab to nibble on until that album is released, or at least a single and hopefully some TV appearances.
I’m posting this mostly for Gokeyguy because he’s a Cookhead like me. (you too, Maryann). I almost forgot about this video but just came across it again.
Don’t watch this if you don’t want to cry. This was made by someone at the Danny Gokey Fans website (one of Travis’s fansites, he also owns The Dash) back in April before Danny was voted off.
The choice of the two songs is both amazing and brilliant.
Twitter: steph6449
Stephanie, I only watched that second YASB performance a week or two ago, myself. Couldn’t watch it during the show, and made me feel sad to think about it ever since (even though I wanted to watch, as I thought he looked at his best in that outfit!).
It really is beautiful though. Maybe it’s easier to watch now with Danny’s ‘good news’ about to drop?
I was confused by the comments above about Danny having been in Nashville. An interview today had him talking about going to Nashville, but at the end of the tour so he could get started on the album. It wouldn’t amaze me if he snuck into Nashville to do PR stuff, photos, etc. for the new label somewhere in the near future. Unless they’ve already done that and we missed it?
There was some guy tweeting last Friday about working with Danny. He seemed to be a website or videographer type person. I’d figured it was probably SHF-related, but maybe not.
you’re welcome ladies =)
Steph6449
I cried into my pillow that night.
I don’t think he is in Tenn bc Matt just twetted and said that he was with danny and a few others at a fair today and ate fried twinkies! lol!
Maryann–Thanks for your offer. I might need you to bail me out for becoming a pesky stalker, LOL! I migth have to move far away to resist the urge!
I felt like someone died the night he was voted off. I was an absolute wreck and shed enough tears to keep several saltwater fish alive. But the performance is exquisite, his best ever because he was holding nothing back. That’s when it hit me what Danny was really capable of. I keep watching it even though it makes me cry every time. It’s like a sore you keep having to pick even though every time you do it bleeds.
Wow Helio! I’d be honored to send you some disguises and bail you out any day! A girl has to do what she has got to do. You could always plead temporary dannyinsanity!
Thanks so much for posting that youtube again. So appropriate, with Danny on the verge of this new beginning. He truly is going to need us more than ever. All of those heartfelt fan posts show how dearly he is loved and supported.
Can’t wait for Dan’sday to get here!
Helio
I loved that video, very well done..I’m so emotional
right now, I couldn’t help but cry!!!
BTW I loved that song by DAvid C.
I just can’t bring myself to watch that final performance……
Maybe one day!!!!!
Feel the same way guys. It pains me. Every day. No kidding.
This is why I am so anxious over this record deal. Not that I care about who it is with. I just want him to have the opportunity to truly show the public just what he is capable of doing. I want others appreciate all his goodness too.
Twitter: steph6449
Stephanie, I saw that about the fried twinkies. Scared me…
Checking in quick…CRAZY day at work. I’ve decided I will do a recap of the concert Friday in Madison. I have nothing new to add to the other recaps. It was definitely one of the most awesome days/nights of my life!
Why is my gravatar not working? Oh well, must be Monday.
Steph6449
for some reason, I don’t think danny could stay away! lol! you know how he loves his snackage!
I know DANNY is better off by not winning AI.. But wish
I could understand why he didn’t make it to the final 2..
i think danny and my dad are twins they both like to eat ! and my dad doesn’t gain any weight.
Jen,
I see your gravatar, DANNY and YOu…Are you changing
that picture????
STephanie(actress)
Wonder where Latrece is tonight??? I know she didn’t have to
work,,,,
GokeyPinoyFans hey pinoys! catch Oprah tonight at 6pm on Studio 23! AI8 will be there!
Rachel I would love to walk around a fair with danny and watch him eat all that food! lol!
Karen
I dunno, maybe she is resting???
Hey to all you Cookheads! David Cook is playing at the Oregon State Fair this Saturday — and I won’t be able to go! I have to drive up to Portland Saturday evening. Am staying at a hotel in Portland overnight, then flying out to Wilkes-Barre, PA very early Sunday morning. Now, if I didn’t need sleep . . .
jen, I can see your gravatar! You might need to delete your cookies and empty your cache for it to come up.
Karen, I think the reason Danny didn’t win was because Allison’s fans voted for Adam after she was voted off. Once Danny was voted off, HIS fans voted for Kris. JMHO.
Is there anywhere we can see Danny sing YASB the night he was voted off? I couldn’t even watch it, I just turned the TV off and sat there and bawled!!!! Now I wish I would have taped it!
me too stephanie lol if it was something i liked i’d eat it too.
Here’s an antidote to that sad video I posted earlier. I stumbled on this and was in tears again–from laughing so hard!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qOYOkQSvc
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This is funny stuyf
Ellen B, I’m so sorry you won’t get to see David in concert. I hope to be able to see him next month in Columbia, SC but have a feeling I might have to miss it. Darned work.
Too bad Ellen! Talk about a double header. That is too much hotness for me!
Hope you have a wonderful time and find yourself feeling great, so you can really enjoy it all. We’ll be thinking of you!
Speaking of sleep. It is time. Night all!
Karen, Latrece posted around 3:45 or 4:00 that she was going out to eat at her favorite restaurant. Maybe she ran into a cute young guy
Goodnight Maryann! sleep well!
Oh yes, I also wanted to ask whether there is a video of Danny singing “What Hurts the Most” in Kansas City. Thought someone yesterday shared a tweet that Matt sent about catching Danny’s set, and that that song gave him chills. Or something like that. So I’m curious if there was anything different about the song in Kansas City. Maybe those of you who heard the cellcast would know?
Rachel, I have a weakness for fair food! lol! I would be right there with him piging out! lol!
here ya go shirl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwkvLoavuTo
Yes, someone PLEASE post a video of Danny singing WHTM yesterday in KC–I totally missed the cellcast and could shoot myself for it!
OMG, guys–I was looking at the picture of the chipmunks in the video. Take a good look. Those are the Top 3 idols! Danny’s on the far left, wearing glasses. Adam’s the one in the middle (of course!) with the big A on the front, and Kris is the shortie on the right. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but it sure does fit! LMAO!
Shirl,
That final performance is on the video that I posted
for you that had all DANNY’s performances from AI..You
said you bookmarked it..I can’t remember who made the
video, but I have watched so many times..and it’s great!!!
That’s the only performance on that video that I haven’t
watched..
Last question (and I may repost this tomorrow, since it’s late). What do you wear to the concert? I thought I heard some mumbling about wearing purple? What’s that all about? Also, has anyone had a T-shirt made up? I’ve been thinking about doing that.
Twitter: steph6449
Did anyone see this from the other day? http://www.twitpic.com/fy33j
I’m not sure I’d envision Adam ever wearing something like if one of his own fans made it for him. To pose wearing something Danny’s fans did for the hometown visit seems really nice of him. Wonder what the hardcore Glamberts make of it.
Thanks for all the fun guys! Two things: 1) WHTM is having to listen to those chipmunks sing anything (am old enough to remember their ridiculous albums), and 2) I’ve really got to get to bed!
Sweet dreams. Wednesday (Dan’sday) is coming!
Ellen Danny’s tour color is purple so you wear purple anything to show who you are there for (if you want lol!)
Twitter: steph6449
Karen, Shirl, this site? http://www.dannygokeyus.blogspot.com/
I bookmarked it also back when I was lurking
Goodnight, Maryann!
Rachel, thank you so much for that. Of course I cried all the way through it and am still weeping. Paula was a mess too. I have to put that in the past because Danny is moving on to a much better place in his life right now but I am glad I have it.
but I cried for days after Danny left the show. I never even thought about the tour and videos from all the venues! I thought I’d never see him again!!!!
Karen, Yes, I definitely DID bookmark that site, have it right here. BUT I didn’t know the final performance of the song was there, I assumed it was only performance night.
Thank you, Steph6449, for reposting that link! I meant to bookmark it, but then I forgot!
HELIO
I’m laughing so hard, that video was soooo funny…Thanks
for posting it!!!! I noticed the chipmumks, whoever
made that video was really creative!!!!
Steph6449 = I saw that pic of Adam Lambert wearing the Gokey Scouts sash – I am not understanding why he was wearing it?
Also, what’s up with the Casey Carlson connection with “the guys”, I know she was on the show, but man she came off as a dumb brunette! I hope there is no love interest there, that would be disappointing!
Shirl – I hope you are feeling better soon!
Steph6449, yes, that is exactly the site! I’m so glad to have the link!!!!
Stephanie, you still here? I was thinking of making a T-shirt that says something like, “Danny, you had me at the first growl.” But I may be too shy to do that. OR “Long Live the Gokey Growl.” Anyway, something with “Gokey Growl” in it, because I’m really not kidding you. The first time I hear Danny sing (and I don’t even remember what song it was), I heard the growl and I was hooked! (Remember, I never saw AI, only video clips over the Internet.)
Ah, Rachel…you had to go and post that and now I’m crying again. So, so beautiful, so heartfelt, so intense. Danny sang his heart out.
Paula’s and Adam’s reactions to Danny’s singout in that video slay me. There’s proof right there that Adam loved Danny. I can’t tell about Kris’s reaction but he’s probably holding back tears too.
Ellen B – I wore my SHF shirt to the concert, a lot of people wore purple shirts, some had custom made shirts, others were dressed like they were going to a wedding! What ever you want, will be fine! If you wear “purple” it’s Danny’s tour color and is supposed to help them spot their fans better.
Ellen that sounds like a good idea!
Steph6449
Thanks for the picture..Adam was a good sport, wearing
that sash!!!
And that is the link, because I remember the us after
DANNY’S name..Do you know who made that tribute to
DANNY????
Ahhh..now I see my avatar!
Michelle, thanks
I have trouble reading this page anyway because of my vision but it’s worse when I have to take meds for IBS that cause blurred vision. I usually don’t go on the computer AT ALL for about 5 days when I have this problem. but this, nor wild horses cannot keep me away from being here in Dannyland! 
Ellen how about something like Danny…give me the Gokey Growl!
or I go gaga for the Gokey Growl!
Helio, we’ll have to share a box of tissues over YASB on elimination night. And the look on Adam’s face…well, I loved him at that moment, because he seemed sincerely sad to know Danny was off the show.
MIchelle,
Were there alot of people at the concert wearing that
GOKEY Scouts sash?? Because I heard on the FOX news
about there being scouts there..Is that what FOX was
referring to??
Stephanie, I like both of your ideas! Can I steal them?
Ellan, you could also wear a purple bandanna around your neck. I’ve seen pics of several fans who have done that, to show their support for Danny in wearing his color.
Ellen go right ahead!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Just checking in to say hi, read some of the discussion. I wanted to die the night Danny was voted off. I still cry sometimes when I watch YASB. Gott a go Ron is waiting down stairs to finish our date! I’ll check in later.
I <3 Danny
Shirl,
I’m not watching that video!!!!
CHeryl
Have fun on your date!!!!!
Twitter: steph6449
Michelle, I assumed that pic of Adam must be either his wearing some fan’s Danny sash that they asked Adam to pose wearing. Or, maybe a fan made extra Danny sashes for the other Idols to put on for pics indicating they are honorary danny-fans for the day?
Either way, seemed to me Adam was a good sport to wear it and pose for the picture. (Not meaning anything with that about whether Danny & Adam get along; it just doesn’t really fit the image Adam often seems to be trying to project.)
I’m just going by the impression the photo gave me, though. Those were there in Milwaukee might have a better idea if I’m taking it wrong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKdOIuvtE6I
heres a danny tribute that was posted 2 hours ago.
Stephanie –
Decisions, decisions! I like, “I go gaga for the Gokey Growl.” Very alliterative! Or “Give Me the Gokey Growl.” Stephanie, would you mind is I change the last one to “GIVE US THE GOKEY GROWL!” It perfectly conveys what I want to say to Danny, yet replacing the “I” with “we” may help me to feel less shy.
Twitter: steph6449
Michelle, I don’t even really remember Casey from the show. My interest in the season didn’t really get going until a little later, other than watching Danny mostly.
But wasn’t she the person who was hanging out with Matt and that Alex T. at Disneyland (or -world, I always get those mixed up) a lot before the Tour?
Okay, Stephanie. With your permission, I think I’m going to go with, “GIVE US THE GOKEY GROWL!”
Ellen that sounds great!
Steph6449
Disneyland is in Cali and Disney World is here in sunny FL.
Karen, I had to watch it. Never could before, but I needed closure. I feel better now since I did watch it. Looking back, it seems so long ago…..
casey is the girl people kept asking her if her and danny had a ‘thing’ and she said no.
Twitter: steph6449
Stephanie, thanks. I was at one of them, but I was like 4 mos. old, lol.
Thank you for your help, Stephanie. I really appreciate it!
Also, thanks to everyone on the site who has given me concert advice — Michelle, Shirl, etc.!
Ellen no prob! enjoy the concert!!!
Check this out!

oops cute drawing! and sorry its kinda long
Rachel – why are you making me teary eyed tonight with that video of Danny singing YASB?? He did so good, I love that song, but it was a sad, sad, night.
Stephanie – very cute!
OMG I did it I watched DANNY’S final performance..I’m
crying now..Why did I do that???? All the judge’s
expressions, PAula crying, and ADam’s face tells it
all!!! At least DANNY went out with a bang!!! What a
great performance!!!!!!!!
shirl asked for the video michelle lol
steph6449 – yes Casey was in the Top 36, but never made it to the show. She is a very attractive young girl, but really was not that great of a singer. There were a ton of pics of Danny with her from IDF. Don’t know if they were just friends or what.
Here is the WHTM video of Danny from Kansas City 8/30
Enjoy have a great night!! Goodnight!!!
Karen – it’s Shirl and Rachel’s fault we are all crying now! Maybe I am crying at the thought of Casey Carlson with Danny Gokey!
Stephanie (actress)
Cute drawing!!!!! Wonder who drew that??? Did a good job….
Latrece – thanks for the post! You trying to make me cry some more or what? I always cry when I hear/watch WHTM!!
Karen
Awww you finally watched it!
Latrece hello and goodnight!
MIchelle,
I think DANNY has better taste than her, at least I
hope he does….
LAtrece,
Goodnight!!! You must have to work tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
Twitter: steph6449
you ladies sound like you’re going on “ho patrol”, lol.
STEPHANIE(actress)
I’m sorry I watched it…DANNY did fantastic, but it’s
so sad…..
steph6449
We got to protect our DANNY!!!!
he use to stare at casey’s boobs all the time lol
I only watched it the night he was voted off. I can’t bring myself to watch it again.
lol! Steph6449
they are very protective of danny…only the best for him!
Latrece, even though you can’t see Danny very well in that video, you can tell he was really emotional last night. I noticed he changed the song up again, especially toward the end. Every time he sings it it’s like it’s the first time.
Casey Carlson never made it to the Top 36, but I think she was friends with several of the guys, including our Danny. From what I hear, she liked goofing around with them (not THAT way!) They thought of her as a friend. I’m sure they found her attractive, because she is, but mostly it seemed they just saw her as a buddy.
I always wondered why Danny didn’t sing YASB on tour. I know the song meant a lot to him. It might have been his and Sophia’s special song. It probably hurts too much for him to sing that every night, even more than WHTM. I’m glad he didn’t sing it again in a way, because it acquired a sort of sacred feel after that mindblowing performance when he was voted off. Nothing could ever top that.
Stephanie – BEWARE, don’t watch it if you don’t want to cry! Paula and Kara were crying, Kris looked Mad and Adam looked like he might tear up!
Heliotrope66 – I thought Casey was in the top36? Bad memory, I remember watching her and thinking, o.k they only have her on here because she’s attractive. Let’s face it, they like to have people on that are attractive to the eye. Why would they make Michael go on a diet?
Rachel – I used to stare at Casey’s boobs (LOL!), how could you not! Between her and Megan, there was good representation in that area.
Michelle yah I remember how emotional that night was!
Heliotrope66 – I think YASB would be difficult for Danny to sing every night for all of the reasons you stated. When Simon called it a vocal master class, you can’t really top that. You know when you sing the same song over and over, it’s not going to sound exactly the same every time.
lol true michelle wish i had her boobs
My take on why Danny didn’t make it to the Final 2. The Fans.
I think what happened was that the fans got over confidant, especially after Danny survived Dream On.
If Danny had fallen to the bottom 3 like Kris and Adam, he would have been in the Top 2. Because that would have been a wake up call.
But in the end, the press coined the “Danny Gokey factor” for creating the biggest upset in American Idol history.
Twitter: steph6449
Helio, it really is beautiful, and I loved his first performance of it as well. So strong, and it really built and built even in the abbreviated version he had to work with.
But I think by the time he was planning the tour, he was thinking about the Nashville possibilities and wanted to keep WHTM, which also had been great for him. And two gut-wrenching songs in his set would have just left the audience in big puddles on the floor of all those arenas, imagine the mess!
Stephanie
I had to watch YRSB again, why do I do that to myself?????????????
Just watched the video from Kansas City that Latrece posted. I really like the configuration of the stage there at the Sprint Center. It’s very open. Seems like people would get a good view of the stage.
Karen why are you doing this to yourself?? lol!
Karen you just need to think of happy thoughts!
Ellen, when and where are you going to the show?
YASB is one of Karen’s favorites!
Rachel – totally am having boob envy, wish I had some!

jamie, I also think that that Terence Trent-Darby song was a drag for him. I love Danny, obviously, but I’d have to pick that as my next-least favorite performance of his after you-know-what. He didn’t do it badly, but I found it hard to listen to (and it allowed Simon to snipe on the dancing again, I think?).
And just no one knew that song, no matter what he did with it. I’m old enough to vaguely remember Terence Trent-Darby and one or two of his songs, but had never even heard of this one. Can’t imagine what younger AI voters would be expected to know about it, or Danny for that matter.
Did think Danny’s studio version of it was nice though. I also really like his studio version of September, which surprised me.
The one area I’ve had some trouble guessing for the country music direction is what type of up-tempo songs they will find for him, as he loves to do those.
I just listened to the KISS FM radio interview from this morning. I only caught the last half of Kris’ interview. I am sad that Danny said he is moving to Nashville to start with his album! I know Ivan and his other family is there. No way Danny would move to Nashville, unless it was Sony/Nash? Is there other record labels in Nashville (ok dumb question), any way, I may have just opened up another can of worms.
But I stand my prediction – WED (heard that from someone else) and SONY/NASHVILLE (not WORD).
Latrece, the reason why Danny didn’t sing YASB on the tour, is the same reason he didn’t do CROCS – he’s positioning his music career. What Hurts the Most and My Wish – have become the songs that he has gotten the best reviews for. Rascal Flatt is also associated with – Mark Bright.
Danny’s set in the tour is also very late into the show. After about 2 hrs or so, the crowds have already heard about 17 other performances. He had to open his set with 2 fun, uptempo songs (PYT, Maria, Maria) to get the crowd moving, before moving into the ballads. PYT is the only Michael Jackson song performed on the entire tour. Maria, Maria is where he does his salsa dancing.
Ladies, that was indeed a sad night when Danny left AI. But I’m glad I finally watched it. It kinda gave me closure. It’s over. He is moving on, and he is in a much better place. If he had gone on and won, 19E would ruin him. We need to realize that he is better off where he is right now.
Was it on here that I saw info about how to set your camera, etc. to get the best pics of the concert. Some of mine turned out horrible and I want to get it fixed before Friday.

Michelle, although I’m among the Sony Nash-guessing crowd, there are quite a few other labels in Nashville.
That person @BryanStars who did the video interviews the other day is tweeting asking which ones to put up first:
So which American Idol interview do you want to see first on YouTube? Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Megan Joy, Matt Giraud or Scott MacIntyre?
steph6449 – I am older than you and I had never heard of that song. Paula was definitely stuck in the 80′s with that one. But aaaaaaahhhhhhh another favorite of my kids – LOL, so I get to hear them over and over! My son loves “Dream On”, My daughter loves “Get Ready” and they both love “Dance Little Sister”.
My son just yesterday listened to the Aerosmith’s version of “Dream On” and still doesn’t get the fuss about the scream, he said Danny sounded just like Steven Tyler!
We came to the conclusion that Danny and Adam should have switched song choices that night – Adam should have sang Dream On, he screams every night and Danny should have sang “Whole Lotta Love”
Jen – yes it was a link to a thread on IDF on taking pictures inside. But you have to have a camera where you can adjust the ISO speed and other settings. I think Rachel may have posted it, not sure what day though.
Jamie – you know a lot about the music industry? Did you say you work in the industry? What are your thoughts on Danny doing Country?
Steph6446 – dosey doe and around we go! Just kidding! Trying to starting laughing again after all of the crying about YASB, Casey’s Boob’s, and now Danny moving to Nashville!
Twitter: steph6449
Michelle, did Danny say he was actually moving to Nashville? I heard he was going there to work on the album, and I like the idea that he will stay in Nashville full-time to work on it in person with his support team so he can have a lot of input and really learn from and collaborate with them. If he’s in Nashville, that also may allow for some media contacts and so forth.
I didn’t read what he said though as suggesting a decision about a permanent move to Nashville. (In his return home after the show ended, I think Danny talked about spending time between Milwaukee, LA, and Nashville. At the time, I thought he meant Nashville more due to SHF, but maybe even that early he was thinking about the Nashville labels?)
Ladies, it was fun visiting again with y’all here, but I’m not feeling so good and need to go to bed.
Talk to you all again tomorrow be the good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise!
Michelle lol! I don’t think Danny’s that kind of guy. If he is then I can count myself out! haha!
But it was all really meant to be. Look at where Danny is now. He’s happy, confidant, really having a blast on the tour, got good reviews. And he has a record deal. And if he scored working with Mark Bright – that is a huge, huge accomplishment for a new artist. And he’s won’t be competing with Adam, Kris or Allison – who all have albums out the same time – which I think is a receipe for disaster. Whereas Danny is getting the spotlight to all himself now.
And look at where someone like Kris is. He has been reduced to the role of Adam’s assistant. And 19E will only continue to drag him down. He’s gotten mixed reviews on the tour. And the truth is, there will be those (critics and fans) who will never forgive him for beating Adam. They will make it very hard for him to succeed.
Danny may not have been in the finals, but in the end, I think he will be 1 of 2 people who will turn out to be the most successful from Season 8.
Goodnight Shirl!
Shirl feel better
So I went and watched the YASB video three more times since my last post. One word comes to mind: magic. Danny brought magic into that room that night. A kind of hush filled the room, and even the little girls looked moved and uplifted. I really think (or want to think) that Kris’s expression is due to his effort not to cry, even though it kind of looks like a smirk. Adam does look like he’s tearing up. Paula’s heart is breaking (I really think she was in love with Danny like she was with Elliott in season 5), and Kara looks so proud of him. I remember when he was voted off her first reaction was “Oh my God.” I think she was thinking about No Boundaries–I think she wrote it for Danny, thinking he’d win.
I noticed too that all four judges–even Simon–stood up for him as he finished.
Sad as that night was for all of us, with YASB Danny had the chance to redeem himself from Scream On (which wasn’t even that bad, except for the scream) and go out with his best performance ever, and be remembered for that instead of for a bad performance. If he’d been voted off in Top 4 week instead, he would never be able to live it down, and the haters would have torn him apart. Danny was able to regain his dignity tenfold with this performance.
I’ll never forget the way Paula hugged him afterwards, crying her eyes out, telling Danny she was so embarrassed, but there was so much she wanted to say to him. They loved each other so much, and that’s why I’m so sad about Paula leaving. I hope she does come back. She’s the heart of Idol.
I always thought the real reason Danny didn’t win was because of Paula’s song choice (and I think she knew that, which explains in part why she was so upset). Obscure songs don’t go over well with Idol audiences. If she’d chosen something more well known or current, I think that would have given him enough of an edge over Kris to make it into the Top 2, and he would have won for the same reasons that Kris won over Adam. He would have gotten most of Kris’s votes. Anyway, that’s my theory.

Michelle, Danny singing Whole Lotta Love. Wow, can’t quite imagine that one
I thought actually Kris and Danny both that week were at a bit of a disadvantage as nice Christian boys to pick a classic rock song that wasn’t too smutty. Probably ruled a ton of song options out. Or actually, they had to find two songs that were ok for them, counting the “duet.”
The tone and range of Danny’s voice would work well for rock. But much as I love him, he’s too much of a church-boy in spirit to really have a rocker edge for more than a fun try or two, like the studio Dream On which actually is ok to me.
Well ladies, I’m gonna go to bed. I got a class tomorrow @ 9:30 so I need to get some sleep. Gokey night!
I want to add one last thing. Danny is much better off that he didn’t win, for the reasons already stated. I feel so bad for Kris. Danny would have been treated the same way. By coming in third, he isn’t beholden to making a certain kind of record and has more creative freedom, and because he wasn’t signed right away, this has allowed all the excitement to build over his record deal. I have never seen any Idol generate so much excitement over an impending record deal as our own Danny Gokey. I am so proud of him!
One more thing about YASB–the original is NOTHING compared to this. Danny doesnt get credit for changing songs up, but he turned this sappy 70′s ballad into a gospel tinged showstopper, and the way it builds on itself is intense. The original was repetitive, boring, and Cocker’s voice is a joke compared to Danny’s. Danny added his own words to the song–”your love can make a grown man cry,” “you’re the air I breathe,” and so on. Simply magic.
Michelle – I don’t work in the music industry, just follow it.
In as far as career longevity, I think Country is the way for Danny to establish himself. People often forget that there are different genres of Country Music. I can easily see him doing Country Pop/Rock. Country fans are also very loyal. And Idols who have going this route, have done good for themselves. Besides Carrie Underwood, there’s Kelli Pickler, Josh Gracein, Bucky Covington.
I have always loved Danny’s soulful voice, but the thing with R&B – these days it’s really more gears towards Hip/Hop. And I can’t really see Danny doing that. He’s more classic R&B. Besides, 19E had pushed Ruben Studdard in the R&B direction – and he failed.
But for me, the key is the opprotunity to work with someone like Mark Bright. He is a huge deal in Country music. And he can jump start Danny’s career in the right direction.
Besides, once Danny gets establish, he can cross over. He will have more clout to do classic R&B, to do the Standards.
The record label must feel that Danny has a market in the Country area. Otherwise they would not be investing their money.
Karen – I missed your question from earlier about the Gokey Scouts. There were 4 or 5 of them there at the Milwaukee concert. They flew in from all of the the country. Another Fan Group like the Gokey Gang.
Goodnight Shirl, I hope you feel better tomorrow!
Now I’m off to bed myself. It’s been fun as always!

Helio, agree with most of what you said there. Also I think Danny’s performances coming more in the middle of the show didn’t help him. If Danny’s YASB had come after Kris’ Heartless, I think it would have dulled the ‘wow’ that some had with that. (I find Kris kind of blah, although there were a couple of performances I did like. He’s one of the few I could listen to over again, along with Danny (almost everything) and Adam (about half).
I do differ a bit with Dream On. I actually had to grab my remote for the first time with Danny to hit the ‘mute’ somewhere in the middle of the song when he was singing that on the show. I thought Danny was off quite a bit in parts of it before he got to the screamy-part at the end. First time I would say that of Danny. I think later he said that might have been because he couldn’t hear himself with the band, and they weren’t using those earpieces they do with the Tour show to cancel that out.
word is in nashville also
so really it does not narrow it down
Jamie – I totally agree with you assessment. I see Danny as a cross-over artist. He can still have a soulful sound/voice when he is singing his songs without going the R&B route.
Karen – also word was the GokeyScouts got back stages passes by stalking the crew at the hotel! They must have given Danny that purple sash and no idea why Adam was wearing it!
Heliotrope66 – Very well said. I never knew that Paula said she was embarrassed after Danny was voted off. Danny did have a chance to redeem himself and we will remember him for YASB which was a vocal master class.
I actually think Danny’s whole record deal signing – has been brilliant from a Marketing standpoint. They created a lot of suspense, a lot of chatter around him. Gave him the attention, got people’s curiosity going.
I also think releasing the album in Jan is a smart move. That’s when the new season of American Idol begins. And even if Danny is not signed to 19E (which I am hoping that is the case), there will still be all the chatter around American Idol. Even more so if Paula doesn’t return. The press will go after Danny for interviews, because it’s well known that he was her favorite for this season. And what better way to plug his album at the same time.
The Grammy’s are also in Jan. And there is always a lot industry buzz regarding up and coming artists. And past Idols have been invited to the Grammy’s. Seriously, if Danny has an album out, I would not be surprise to see him walking the red carpet.
I would not have wanted him to have an album out in Nov, work on it on his days off from the tour, then compete in the market place with 2 other Idols.

Helio, I think Simon always really respected Danny. It really struck me even in the very early rounds how much they all liked him, and I think they genuinely did although they could go OTT in expressing it.
There was one where they were there with their little scorecards or whatever, and he started to sing and they just put all their pens out and broke into huge smiles listening to him. Was great to see (either I Hope You Dance or Kiss from a Rose?). Those were performances I didn’t even see as I came to focus more on AI and Danny after the Top13.
It’s hard to say how Danny might have been received as the winner if he had won in a 1-2 race with Adam. I suspect the sociopolitical tensions would have been a question, as some people perceive Danny in a different way than they do Kris vs. Adam.
But Danny can absolutely hold his own vocally which people respect, and is more outgoing. Danny is so different from Adam that I don’t think if he and Adam were #1 and #2 in either order, he’d be perceived to be in direct competition in any way with Adam. Where Kris is styling himself as a rocker (which I don’t really see, to be honest) and thereby putting himself in a territory where he does compete with Adam and also with Allison.
I also think Adam really is better off for not having won.

Lizzy, here it is: I had emailed it to here; maybe that wasn’t the right way?
Pam’s Milwaukee Concert Review:
Lizzy here is my “toned down” review for MJ’s I emailed it to her, hopefully she will post it!
Here is a Milwaukee review:
Our day started with drizzle, but became sunny and cool-perfect! We met all the idols pre-concert except Lil,Kris, Adam; none of which came out (I guess those 3 did come out post, but it was raining so I didn’t stay).
Michael was so sociable; talked for about an hour to the crowd! Megan seemed annoyed to be there, but did make an attempt. Anoop was friendly but wouldn’t take pics (Scott either)-he is much more handsome in person. Allison was the biggest surprise; had heard she did not like signing, but she was very outgoing, talked a lot and took pics; I liked her personality. Matt was a doll and also spent a lot of time. Scott sweet also and talkative. Danny came out briefly but was pulled back in for press (had a lot since it was Milwaukee). He came out again at 5:20 and stayed for 40 minutes signing autos and taking pics with anyone who asked. What a special guy; seemed like he would do anything for his fans!
Concert impressions:
There was no doubt the crowd was there for Danny Gokey; loudest screams every time his pic was shown. But Milwaukee really did give a warm reception to all the Idols; Sarver tweeted it was his best reception on the tour.
Michael-
Surprisingly, I thought Michael sang great and looked great-he was never my fav on the show but really liked him here.
Megan-
Liked her “Record On” song, rest-no. Hair was hideous (can’t blame her for that though!)
Lil-
Didn’t enjoy her on the show and she did nothing to change my impression. Looked great!
Scott-
Scott was really good! Voice sounded better live and piano skills are awesome.
Anoop-
Very smooth, good vocals; just didn’t excite me, but the crowd loved him.
Matt-
Wow- Matt was amazing-I never was fond of him on the show but he was excellent. I think its debatable whether he got the second loudest cheers over Adam or vice versa; Milwaukee absolutely loved him.
Group numbers: girls.
Allison-
Loved her on the show; was mildly disappointed in her live. Felt she shouted her songs instead of singing them. She did have great stage presence though, and I did love Cry Baby.
DANNY! Not gonna lie; he’s my favorite and I agree he’s one of those artists who actually sounds better live because of his powerful voice and audience connection. I’m not a country fan, but he made me love WHTM and My Wish-simply splendid. Audience screamed loudest and chanted his name way after his set, but was polite and stopped when Adam came out.
Adam-He is quite the showman and special effects were great. My non AI watching friend thought Lotta Love best song cuz Zeppelin is difficult to sing. I was a little disappointed in his voice- it sounded way higher than on TV; it sounded like a woman sang “Starlight”. My fav of his set= Slow Ride. Milwaukee loved either him or Matt second best, IMO.
Kris- Great surprise for me! I expected to be disappointed after all the reviews I read saying he was boring after Adam, but he was not; just a different type of artist. He sang and played very well; I can see him being very successful on the radio, and I loved Hey Jude.
Stayed through the whole thing (I didn’t see anyone leave during Adam or Kris’s set as others have reported for the barricades).
One more note: Milwaukeeans are not stage throwers! One orange boa thrown for Michael which he wore, one object thrown for Kris which he ignored. May have been more I just didn’t see, but that was it!
Overall, good concert, worth the money and waiting all afternoon to meet 7 out of the 10 of them!
MJ, I do have pictures if you want them but not sure how to send them in.
Pjgvet, thanks for the review of Milgokey!
Jamie, I had an outrageous thought. Could it be…that this entire thing with Danny’s signing was PLANNED this way to generate more excitement for his album? Is it possible that he was actually the favorite of the producers, and they have planned this so his album would stand on its own, apart from the others, even Adam’s? If it turns out Danny has signed with 19 or one of their affiliates, this could be the case!
Now I am really off to bed. Night, everyone.

To clarify on the sashes:
Jen and I went to dinner with Gokey Gang Thurs. night. Monkie, KatieD80 and Carrina Sophia are the “Gokey Scouts” on twitter. They made the sashes (they were actually kind of cute) for themselves and a couple of other Gokey Gang, iluvlabs, jnz, cupcake. When they were at the meet and greet (the official one, they got passes by stalking crew members at the Hyatt hotel!) Kris, Adam and I think it was Anoop all asked to try the sashes on. I guess it was pretty funny.

I have an impression that Danny’s plans have been a mix of design and one thing leading to another. I do remember that sometime before he had that Nashville visit to meet with record labels (one of which was supposedly Sony Nash), he said he was meeting with the head of 19 to talk things over. So they set him on that course to start out, although it confused me why he also was meeting with Word during the same trip, and it got harder to read the signs after that as Danny started talking about labels sending reps to watch him or bidding against each other.
Since I’m in the Sony-guessing group, I think that all may have been part of a deliberate process. Also, Danny must have some kind of management representation involved in this on his behalf, although that rarely gets mentioned. He’s not just dealing with all these record companies by himself.
Bedtime for me also.
