arm candy again
i like the new single my best days are ahead of me but i like Its Only too. i cant decide which i like more.
I’m with you Trish’ – I love both and can’t say which I one I like best! That is the sign of a good album to come because when you usually buy an album , some of the songs are just ‘throw away’ songs. I have a feeling that every single song on Danny’s album will be a ‘winner’!!
I feel you Trish regarding the song chose; I can’t really determine which somg I like best; however, it’s only does something to me on the inside, it connects with me on a deeper level. I just absolutely adore Danny, I know he is suppose to do another radio tour today ( I guess?), but I don’t know where. Hopefully, something will come up and we will be able to hear our sweet Danny again!! What lovely Guns above!!
Hi Julie!! how nice to see you this morning!! I am at work now but I love when you come here, I will talk with you again soon, bye!!
morning girls!
i love both songs but i think best days is more likely to get more airplays~
there are criticisms saying that it’s only is preaching or something (though i totally disagree)
Danny is not only our Danny, he is facing this whole world~
I agree with you Joanna – ‘Best Days’ is what we call a ‘crowd pleaser’ but I so love the message that ‘It’s Only’ conveys!
I am a ‘closet’ ‘Lady Antebellum’ fan (who wrote IO)so maybe that’s what is ‘drawing’ me to that song more….
But I love the upbeat message in BD as it is Danny’s future so he is following his heart and doing what he does best
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Good Morning! I like both songs, but I love It’s Only. I get so emotional when I hear it and for me, when a song can move people emotionally, it is a good song. Best Days is a catchy tune, and it seems more traditionally country, so I can see why the label wants to release it as the first single. Can.t help thinking they got a lot of feedback regarding It’s Only being too CCM which would limit it’s radio play. I totally disagree that it is CCM and wish they would release it at the same time as they release My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me.
Sorry Latrece! Meant to say good morning to you! I am at work as it is 12 o’clock lunch time here now
Hope to chat with you later! Miss all the ladies & guys here!
good morning all =D
hope you’re all having a wonderful day
Hey Cheryl!
Hey Rachel
hey julie
Hi Julie, Rachel, Cheryl, Joanna, Latrece and Trish! I bet Danny is okay with all of this, because I don’t think anyone is eliminating from being a single. I think it just got moved to next in line position.
This radio business in interesting stuff. I wish I understood how it all truly works. It does seem to me that the stations have their say, because the radio announcer yesterday previewed a Brooks & Dunn song for Danny at the end of his stint and asked him what he thought. When Danny asked was it a single, I think he said he wasn’t sure yet. BTW, for those of you who didn’t catch the morning show live feed, it was a religious song.
I have a new level of respect for Danny, after having watched him in action yesterday. He appeared to be more mature and together then I expected. The way he purposely sought out more conversation with the announcers and shared some contact information on paper, made me realize Danny is a business man.
Good for him!
*eliminating IO from being a single
Sorry… need coffee.
Good morning everyone! I just can’t get over those closeup videos taken in Seattle yesterday. Danny’s face is so beautiful, even when he has a cold. Cheryl, I agree with you about It’s Only, because I’m such a sucker for Danny’s ballads, but I can understand why Best Days would make a better first single. It also opens up more video possibilities than IO would.
It does worry me a little that people at TWOP were saying that the only reason a new release would get pulled and replaced is because it didn’t turn out to be as popular as hoped. I hope this was just haters speculating, because I thought IO was doing pretty well (even though I could understand it being seen as too “religious” by some people).
But so far the comments I’ve seen about BD have been overwhelmingly positive, more so than IO. So I think it was the right decision. I do hope they actually release both songs. It’s not unheard of for an artist’s singles to be released to different markets–DC’s CBTM was released to AC stations and Bar-ba-Sol was released to rock stations simultaneously (even though BBS got no promotion). Maybe RCA can release BD to country and AC and IO to CCM and country at the same time.
hiya maryann
i liked you’re post about you’re son thinking danny is hot he has good taste lol
hiya helio
ugh i got a new follower,i was going to accept them until i saw their post they were complaining to amy & erika about this site saying it’s to steamy.i have no idea what they are on about!
For those ladies who did not get to hear Danny’s second radio interview yesterday Nov 19th, I posted it here. It is funny and exciting to listen to it!! I got the chance to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful daughter in Afghan!!! I am so happy for her!!
http://www2.957thewolf.com/listen/danny-gokey-my-best-days-live
that is good to hear latrece i’m glad you got to say happy birthday to her
Yes Maryann – Danny showed a maturity beyond his years when speaking to the woman who called in with a heart condition. He would make a fantastic spokesperson for that and would relate to all ages.
Hey Latrece! That’s so lovely for you to wish your daughter a Happy Birthday!!
Hey Rachel – nice to see you hear in the mornings
ooops sorry! typo – hear should be here
I posted these late last night but here they are again in case no one saw them. These are so cute and funny! I love Archie as Tiny Tim, lmao.

for Ellen, this is the video you were asking about last night. I think it aired either the Homecoming show or top 3 night, may have been up on the AI website also.
I know I’d seen it before, but hadn’t remembered the comment Allison made about Danny’s “smokin’ awesome” voice. Maybe I never watched it all the way through before.
lol glad you can’t hear me julie i’m mumbling under my breath
Hellio both Kris and Adam had to make some adjustment in their Single as well, When ADAM’s TFM was released and it was not the block buster song they thought it was going to be, then they moved on and said FYE is the true Single and TFM was for the movie 2012. Kris’s Single nearly flopped so now they amped it up with a music video and guest appearances on the morning show. Each of the idols had to make adjustments, Danny is not alone in this battle, but the beauty of Danny’s label is, they seem to be proactive and not reactive; they are taking actions before anything gets bad or worse, that is a good thing; it will work itself out. I would not give too much credence or energy to what the haters say!!
i meant they’re bio i think i need more sleep
this was my response to him/her @maryannesmyth i have no idea what you’re on about ihrtdanny isn’t steamy if we did amy would have warned us! we welcome new members!

Danny is supposed to be in Salt Lake City today, hope he will be feeling better.
I believe it’s this station though don’t remember how we learned about it or if a time was ever posted for his appearance.
http://www.kbull93.com/
aw oprah’s show will be ending in 2011 i hope she has danny on her show
Twitter: steph6449
This comment is rude, but posting since she’s in North Carolina. Seems a station there is playing one of the two songs
WSOC usually plays good new music but Danny Gokey?
.
The account for Rachel’s new follower seems to have diappeared, but I saw where was asking Danny to be her ‘baby mama’? Huh. That would certainly be something.
she was following cheryl too but she blocked her,i blocked her too. people just have to much time on they’re hands.cheryl thinks it’s the same person who complained to amy before.
Hi everyone.
steph I saw your post yesterday about possibly emailing Danny’s management about NixaCountry. Does anyone know if his management handles things like that? I think that it might be his label that would mostly handle the distribution of his music.
I saw that pjgvet suggested Tweeting his bandmates and telling them what NixaCountry said. I think that could work, because they do get considerably less Twitter traffic than Danny does.
Also I saw mjs put up a thread about Danny’s song change. I see some people in that thread hating on Danny. Saying stuff like he’s no Bucky Covington, and that he only wanted a record contract. Haters are always going to hate on Danny.
It’s ridiculous that people are labeling “It’s Only” a failure. The song was out for only about a week or so, and I don’t think that all of the radio stations had the song in their systems.
Plus, the song hadn’t even gone for adds yet, nor was it even up for sale yet. People could at least hold off predicting that Danny’s music is going to be a failure, until his sales total comes in.
I hope that his label does release both songs for sale in December, I think that both have the potential to do decently.

Good Morning Everyone, Very nice picture. Be back in a bit.

Good Morning-
Ewww, I’m glad I didn’t pick up the rude follower. Seems to be a current hit among haters to now complain about “this site”. Too bad most of them are dumb enough that its pretty easy to tell they are haters.
I wonder if RCA was “testing” the market from the start; they rushed out Its Only to stations right away. Also, they introduced Best Days from the first day of the radio tour! ITs only had only been out a few days. So maybe they were kind of testing the waters for both of them and decided to go with a more upbeat one.
I know initially when we talked about it, I had said I wanted an upbeat, fun, sexy song (well, he does talk about kissing lovers!) for his first single. I do really love Its Only; it showcases his vocals and is just plain beautiful- but I think Best Days is a better commercial choice. It definitely has more of a hook and easier to sing along sith than Its Only, which is a difficult song to sing, even for professionals!
Twitter: tonicny
Good Morning, Latrece, today is the best day of your life you gave birth to your daughter and you were able to wish her a Happy Birthday, the call must have made her day so much better.
Steph-I saw your post 2 nights ago about wondering if the MD received Its Only yet at my local radio station and have tried to call but no success in them picking up the phone I will keep trying.
My opinion of both songs is the same as yours and they both have a very meaningful story and I truly get the feeling that Danny might have had some type of collaboration with BD it feels like there is so much of his story in the words but it can also be everybody else’s story. Correct me if I am wrong but is everyone hearing “sad memories” or “sad memory” in that one line I am hearing sad memory. I am off to work. Also I got to listen to the interview yesterday morning since a lot of my day at work is spent with a headset and Danny sounded so at ease and I thought best interview so far. Bye Toni
Twitter: steph6449
FoGS, I wasn’t thinking that Danny’s manager would necessarily handle that, but she’d probably know who to send the question to.
I did read that newest thread at mj’s. Funny how the haters are coming out now that it is the single, when as just a second album track most people who claimed not to be Danny fans claimed to like it better than It’s Only.

While the hate hasn’t been as intense on mjs and TWOP at least during a couple of periods of time, I have noticed that the Danny haters have to come out every so often to criticize/bash Danny.
They are coming out of the woodworks now that “My Best Days” is his first single. And what I have noticed that the ones that are bashing him now are not the same people who said that they would buy “My Best Days”.
IMO, it’s obvious that a lot of the haters don’t like almost anything that Danny says or does, so they are just inclined to criticize him, no matter what is going on.
And a lot of them just can’t see past their hatred for Danny, to realize that not only does he have fans that like him, but that there are people out there in the general public that could like his music as well.
It will never matter if everyone likes Danny or not, but it does matter if he has enough people buying his music so that he can create a decent career and comfortable life for himself. And I believe that Danny can have that.
But I don’t think that a lot of his haters believe that. They think that just because they don’t like Danny and his music, that hardly anyone else will as well, and I think that they are wrong about that.
I can’t wait for “My Best Days” and hopefully “It’s Only” as well to go on sale, because I think that Danny might be able to rack up some decent sales for these songs. And that would show the haters that he does have a decent amount of people that like him and his music.
i saw a few girl’s complain about danny’s new song because it had kissing in the song.
@ImMattGiraud my brother said he saw you walking around Portland, ME w/Danny Gokey day before the concert!! You did awesome !!

Rachel, Are you serious? Someone complained because of the word kissing? Wow that’s funny. The guy can’t catch a break!!
Another fresh material, this time titled “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me”, from Danny Gokey has been unleashed. Recently, a portion of the track has been showcased live during his performance in Los Angeles for TV station KTLA.
“I love this song for what it stands for,” said the “American Idol” alum as quoted by USA Today. “I don’t live in the past. I live in the ‘now’ … in the future … and in the dreams that I have. I know that my best days really are ahead of me.”
“My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” will be made available for digital download on December 22. The track is picked up as the first single for Danny’s forthcoming RCA debut album which is aimed for March 2010 release, replacing single “It’s Only” which was previously unveiled prior to “My Best Days”.

yeah they are jealous because danny isn’t kissing them cindy
let the haters speak their minds, their are entitled to their WRONG opinion lol
LOL trishcaravana
Good morning Team Gokey. First, let me say that we can like both singles – they are not competing against one another.
Latrece – I think your post is worth repeating when responding to haters.
Hellio both Kris and Adam had to make some adjustment in their Single as well, When ADAM’s TFM was released and it was not the block buster song they thought it was going to be, then they moved on and said FYE is the true Single and TFM was for the movie 2012. Kris’s Single nearly flopped so now they amped it up with a music video and guest appearances on the morning show. Each of the idols had to make adjustments, Danny is not alone in this battle, but the beauty of Danny’s label is, they seem to be proactive and not reactive; they are taking actions before anything gets bad or worse, that is a good thing; it will work itself out. I would not give too much credence or energy to what the haters say!!
morning ！
any news about the radio tour？
Twitter: pjgvet
FOGS,
The haters always come out of the woodwork when there is a lot of news about Danny.
Some of them make it their mission to attempt to undermine him, especially when something is perceived as potentially successful.
My theory is that there was no criticism of Best Days when it was not the lead song or as much of a threat; but now that it is they know what a good commercial song it is and can’t bash it for being CCM, so they have to go in other bashing directions. Bashing it for generic lyrics?? The lyrics are catchy and awesome!
They just make me laugh. Esp. the one who adores Buckey. Don;’t know how he is doing now since I don’t like his brand of country, but please, no comparison- Danny is so much better in tone and technically. That person is a typical hater- keeps saying how they’ve “tried to keep an open mind about Danny”- Honey, why even bother saying that, that is soo obviously not true! His true dedicated haters are very easy to spot- people who take the time to repeatedly post neg. comments instead of just that they didn’t care for the song.
remember these haters are the same people who said danny will be backed to oblivion after ai, that no major label company will sign him at all, that SHF is a bogus charity, that danny bashed country music before, everyone else will boo him at ai tour, adam and kris hated danny and many other unsubstantiated claims by the haters. all these proven wrong. the haters are proven wrong.
danny is so busy doing radio tour,got the attention at CMA 2009, debuts two great singles.
the haters are just desperate to see danny fail so that their ego will be somehow saved. but then again, i dont see it happening.
i like both the songs danny’s album will be a mega hit and the haters will be eating they’re words.
the haters will be haters，but remember there are a few evils in this world. people who has a heart will fall in love with this beautiful man
Pjgvet
I think that you bring up a lot of good points about the haters. I do think that “My Best Days” has the chance to be commerically successful. The lyrics are catchy and fun. And I never take the haters who say that they try and keep an open mind or have tried to like Danny seriously. I agree with you that’s it’s obvious that they really haven’t tried to do that.
And LOL at people saying Danny has a “weak” tone. I think that Danny has a nice, raspy tone.
ITA trishcaravana about the haters. They said all sorts of ridiculous things about Danny, saying that not only would Sony Nashville not want him, but that Word a Christian label wouldn’t want him either. They said that people would walk out on Danny on tour, and other ridiculous stuff about him.
I really do hope that Danny sells decently when his single comes out, one reason so that they will see that he does have a decent amount of people that care about him and enjoy his music. And that he does the potential to be successful.
any tour news again？
I still love better”It’s Only” because it showcases his soulful voice and more reflects his heart.
The potential for “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” is catchier and has a more country feel.
Probably more commercial appeal and has a nice easy flow to it…love the studio arrangement.
It has that hook and only after a few listens, it stays in my head.
I think it will resonate more with country audiences without losing his original fanbase.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to TRISH……..Thanks for serving this country for us!!!!!!
Hi again! Had a very ‘busy’ spell at work so back again now! Rachel you are so right re Danny’s album – I do ignore the ‘hating’ – I don’t respond – sorry but I am just not that way inclined
I do stick up for myself when necessary – but just am not going to waste my time on people who really do have nothing better to do than ‘pick’ on others just because they have no lives!! Rant over 
I didn’t know you are in the military, Trish. Thanks so much! Happy birthday too!
Thanks for posting that Danny appreciation video Steph. Until now, I was never able to watch it… just made me cry a river!
Silly me. I thought Danny’s dream was lost. I am so proud of him. He is going to be huge. Both those singles are equally fantastic.
I keep hearing what the radio announcer said yesterday, that ‘country music welcomes you with open arms’. That makes me so happy.
Oops! Happy Birthing Day to Latrece, as well!
almost all the haters are childish and Immature fans of other idols ，anybody can tell from their naive and mean comments.
just let them make fool of themselves
maryann, i dont think Dee is refering to me. its a different trish
Latrece and Trish，生日快乐！（happy birthday）
Twitter: steph6449
This person is not a Danny fan (tweets a lot in a gaga-way about Kris, I think), so take their comments in that context. Writing about Danny’s song, and also their take on the latest with Adam’s single.
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WaterCoolerConvo
And the haters will hate the video. They will also hate the album. They will also hate the live performances Danny does. It’s a given. By worrying about their pettiness, we are essentially validating that their opinions matter.
Remember that it doesn’t end with the singles. They have to create buzz and excitement for the album. And I think “My Best Days” will have a better chance of doing that – since it is more commercial, definitely more radio friendly – not only for Country music, but more potential to cross over to mainstream pop.
Twitter: steph6449
Maryann, was it your husband (or Dee’s?) who is the big country music fan and was quoted here as a test listener for It’s Only?
Would be interested what he thinks of Best Days, if he liked It’s Only but thought it lacked a hook.
Trish is Latrece’s daughter!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Step64, my husband is a BIG country fan. When he gets time, I’m going to have him listen.
thanks for the correction Dee, latrece daughter is my namesake
happy birthday to trish
There is no PROOF what so ever that “It’s Only” flopped. It wasn’t even available to be purchased. It is to Danny’s credit that the record label had the forsight to test the market see what had the potential to sell more.
And when responding to the haters – point to Adam’s example about TFM flopping and now claiming that FYE is the official single??? And it was too late for Kris. LLWD was such a bad choice that it really hurt his album sales. And Allison and her single have all but disappeared. I honestly think she will be the first to be dropped from her contract.
It’s too bad none of their record labels had the forsight to be proactive and look out for their artist the way RCA Nashville did with Danny.
Oops! Thanks Dee! Didn’t know that Trish was Latrece’s daughter’s name.
DJG Music，danny will be the one to save season 8（though he is so much better than just an idol）.
My twelve year old daughter is another ‘test pilot’, Steph.
Her critique of IO was ‘it is amazing mom’. Had her listen to MBD yesterday. Want to know what she said? ‘I am all out of money on my itunes card mom’. There you have it! She loves the upbeat Danny better. Suppose that is to be expected at her age.
CGF,
I see you went back to your old screen name. How come? You photo was handsome.
Need to make a statement about all these Twitterloons causing all these issues for Danny and other ‘idols’. These people are giving the name Maryann a bad rap! How dare they
do that!
trishcaravana, it is such a beautiful name!!!
I can’t believe how early everyone is commenting today! WOW
Do we LOVE our Danny or what. I will be interested what my husband has to say about that hook. All my interest in music lately especially about country, has been a bonding thing for us. He was ask to a local cafe recently to jam with some guys. Even if you can’t make a living, at least enjoy it as a hobby. I have noticed a spark in him as of late! even with my Danny craziness going on. BEST DAYS are ahead of US.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Happy Birthday Trish! We love you as much as we love your mother!
Latrece I’m so glad you got to wish your daughter a Happy Birthday!
I thought this was cute, I follow this guy…. RevRunWisdom Friends don’t let friends go on American idol,, knowing damn well they cant sing.
Maryann，there is something wrong with new screen name（the comments waited too long before it shows on the site）
bty，i can wait to see the video of “my BEST DAYS are ahead of me”
Hi everyone, trying to get on earlier, too many late nights! Latrece, so glad you were able to wish your daughter Happy Birthday-hope she is okay-Rachel- re;-your new follower-sounds VERY familiar to me-that`s all I`m saying!! I listened again, and again to Danny`s new single MBD and, I love it-also love It`s Only, but, if,- like me you need cheering up-this is the song to do it! It is so upbeat, a few friends have heard it via YouTube and I know they will buy it-I haven`t seen the radio interview-but sounds like Danny did good-this radio tour is all about HIM , not only his songs, and I`m sure that people who have been lucky enough to meet him-or to see him-will fall in love with him, just as we all have-I cannot wait until the album-and I wish I had a download of MBD so I could listen without having to keep clicking on link-Dec 22 is TOO long-and a strange day to release it-too close to Christmas IMO- Hi Julie-nice to see you here again!
Excellent Dee!
Hey Gokey People ~
Anyone have any more info on Danny’s band? Danny mentioned that his band is his family yesterday. Alluded to the fact that he has known them all for years. Mentioned, Ivan yesterday on the radio show, but I didn’t catch what he said. Something about him being his MD? I have no idea what that means.
I was so captivated by watching him, while trying to bounce between screens to give some play by play here for those that could not see the show, that I missed it. Just wondering, because Defram and Brian are doing an amazing job for Danny.
OOOH Thank you Maryann and DEE for wishing my daughter Happy birthday!!! Maryann how did you remember the name trish and not know it was my daughter who is in the army?? LOL!
DJG—- you can repeat what I said to the haters anytime. They are opportunistic in nature, they look for reasons to bash Danny. Pam expresed it so well, the haters are threaten everytime there is a strategic move by Danny’s label to keep him marketable. I am sure both song will do well, but to showcase his versatility as a Country artist, was a wise thing for his managemnet team to do because the haters were already in full Gear to label him as a CCM artist.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Hi Carole! Hope you are feeling better. Wish the label wouldn’t have push the release date back to Dec 22. That’s way to long to wait!
CGF,
It was probably in moderation. I think that happened to us all, when we first began posting. Perhaps, Amy’s system thought you were a new person.
Anyways, your real name is adorable. So is your picture.
Have a great day!

Maryann, your daughter’s comment was cute. Sounded to me like she was giving mom a big hint…
I wondered what MD meant also, no idea.
Have to go to work, will await the hubbies of Dee & Maryann report later
Hey Latrece! My brain is officially fried. I used to be an intelligent articulate women. Thanks to Danny, I am now a babbling idiot
.
Hey Carole – at last we are on together!!
Having a ‘not very nice’ day at work 
keep thinking: ‘better days to come!!’
I love both the songs and can’t wait for the album – did you the info’ I posted couple of days ago re ITUNES at all?
MD =Musical Director????
Twitter: steph6449
I understood Def Santiago to be an acquaintance/friend of Sophia’s family, not a relation to Ivan Santiago or other connections.
Brandon may be someone they know through the Christian music network, not sure. I hadn’t heard that before until it was mentioned in the interview yesterday. I wish Brandon would smile in one of those videos, he always looks very serious. Appears he is a little chilly today in SLC.
Today, November 20, 2009, 2 hours ago
bfraley: Good morning Salt Lake City- u are 30degrees right now- this is unacceptable. Y come u so cold??
Dee，this is interesting，but i love to see people who cant sing go to the judges and do the Funny singing，that is fun
I am so surprised by some of you fangirls. Who wants in on that video roll for Danny’s video? I call the lovers to kiss scene!
Thank you Sweet Carole and Cheryl for wishing my daughter Happy birthday!!! I love her Very very much!!!
WE must remember Shirl today and keep her in our positive thoughts and prayers!!
Chinese gokey, the Rev was talking about a TRUE friend. LOL
Maryann I believe the MD stands for= Medical Doctor. Danny indicated that this family member is his MD. I hope I hear something new from Danny today!!
Right Steph! See how fried my brain is today? It is all Danny’s fault! Brandon -not- Brian!
During the introductions, I think he said his wife sings/sang back up for Carrie Underwood. Impressive. He is a great keyboardist. Does look a little shy.
Def is an amazing guitarist. So glad he has a shot at this with Danny. I’ve really enjoyed seeing his tweets about his new guitars, and meeting his guitar idol (Carrie’s guitarist). So happy for him too!
Julie may be onto something. Perhaps, Ivan is his musical director. Right after he talked about him, he mentioned something about family being in charge of SHF. I missed the detail, bouncing on and off screens.
You can tell Danny loves the people he has surrounded himself with. This is a wonderful thing, because it is these people that will help to keep him sane, in this insane business.
I started following this guy on twitter. I’m in a sharing mood. He has some good ones.

Problems in relationships occur because each person is focusing on whats missing in the other person
Some ppl think holding on to ppl & things makes u strong.. but very often its letting go that strengthens u
if u’ve ever seen the sun before u’ll see it again.. if u’ve ever been happy before u’ll be happy again.. thats jus how it works
Hmmm… Latrece. Interesting.
Thinking of both Shirl and Carole today. Positive thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for sharing Dee. Poignant stuff.
Making my way out the door. Lots to catch up on today. Back later. Enjoy all!
Maryann,thank you for that，i’ll try to ues my new screen name late.it isnt my real name though，i dont have a official english name， i change it all the time.the name Chandler Bing is after a character from the show “friends”. right now i make all my friends call me“Danny Gokey”，lol！

This made me laugh so hard. Last night I was video recording Danny’s songs from yesterday’s interview. I was playing them back for the first time this morning in a taxi cab on my way to work. I totally busted out laughing because as I was watching MBD, there was a part where Danny kind of flexes his guns and I can hear myself on the recording saying “Oh Geez”. I remembered saying it last night while I was recording the song but for some reason I didn’t even think about how it would end up on the recording!
Forgot to mention IO is up to over 44,000 plays on YouTube.
MBD is at over 1,700 already.
This is all good!
You are so cute, CGF!
Twitter: LuluGokey
LOL~~~CGF~~~~hope they don’t get annoyed~
Dee，wow，i am sorry about the joke(it’s a Little mean being happy to see somebody make a fool of himself )，but it’s kind of amusement，isnt it?
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Maryann and Julie I was thinking MD was either Managing Director of SHF or his Musical Director. Wasn’t sure what he meant.
Brandon is very talented. He has a website brandonfraley.com You can listen to his music. He is kind of soulful and tends to like love ballads
Hi lulu and CGF!!! I love to see you both here together, both of you have a great sense of hunor!!
You could be right Cheryl – ‘Managing Director’ sounds relevant – wonder if you can ‘tweet’ him and ask as I am not on Twitter
Cheryl do you know how long he has known Brandon?? I know he has known DEF for a long time.
lulu ，i am kind of too active here，i’ll try to be silent ，lol
Chinese gokey, I’m a sick puppy, I think it’s funny too!!!
Ran to cmt.com to see if they listed a correction on Danny’s single, before heading out. Nothing yet. Found some great news though. Josh Kelley just got signed.
One thing is for sure, there is a revolution happening in country music. Like it, love it, or leave it. Newcomers like Danny are changing the country scene.

Jen that is the third new song on his album, it is sure to make us cry!! I can’t remember the title but I know it is about love!!!
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece where are you listening to danny’s third song?
Could that be the one about Sophia that Mallory Hope heard?
Cheryl Danny’s new song “tiny life” is going to have you and HELIO balling in tears, it is awesome!!! OMG!!! I didn;t think he could surpass It’s ONly!! OMG!!

I am so sorry it is over with now but it was on this link!! I don’t know if this works but this is where I heard Danny at!!
http://www2.957thewolf.com/listen/danny-gokey-my-best-days-live
I am so sorry New Cindy and CGF, I only heard one song, I caught it when he was 1/3 into the song, it was beautiful!!!
Latrece ，such a pity，i missed it ，hope i will get to see it later today
oops I posted the wrong one, that is from yesterday, this one is from today below!! sorry!
http://www.kbull93.com/arti
Oh my gosh guys! I am never going to get back to my real life! I caught like the last six notes at this link:
http://www.kbull93.com/article.asp?id=536636
Someone somewhere had to record that single. So, now we sit and wait. So mad at myself for not doing my detective work this morning.
A third song..this site will overload for sure.. how much can we take!
if that doesn’t work, try this one and see if maybe they saved Danny’s recording
http://www.kbull93.com/article.asp?id=536636
This is all getting too consuming for me. Stepping away from my computer now. Back later to see what surfaces.
From the little I heard, it sounds like Danny has an album full of great songs. So happy for him.
Latrece -sorry to repeat myself
but could it be the song about Sophia that Mallory Hope heard?
Twitter: karatemom34
That’s okay Latrece, hopefully we’ll get to hear it today again! Latrece Happy Birthday to your daughter!! OH, and I bought tickets to see Danny in Grafton!! Won’t get to meet him cause I’m sure VIP tickets are gone, but still excited to see him sing!!
HI sweet Julie!! I Think it may be related to Sophia because he talks about how has so much love to give and that everything else is irrelvant!!
thank you new Cindy!! YAYYYYY you will be with us!!!
Sorry that it was such a quick post here about radio station Danny was on. I was on the internet, found the station and they came back and Danny was on! Hopefully his third song will surface somewhere. Made me cry!
Julie he really talked about love and how much love he has to give and how the only thing that matter in life is children, family, LOVE MAKING!!! and etc etc!!
Twitter: LuluGokey
CGF~don’t~~ you’re so funny~~ LOL~
Ah….Latrece – I hope it is as Mallory said it made her cry…
I hope your daughter has a happy but ‘safe’ birthday and may she have many more to celebrate with her proud mom!
New Cindy ，wish you a nice trip meeting danny，
I am glad the weekend is near, now he can rest his voice so he can sing to heaven and back when we make it to Milwaukee!!
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece, Yes, Definitely hope to hook up with you guys maybe before Danny sings. My sister is coming with me. She’s an American Idol watcher but really has no favorites, so she’s going for me! Lol
awww thank you Julie!!! yes Danny song will make you pour out your guts!! this is a passionate song!! I believe the haters are going to be on the rampage!!
New Cindy where are you coming from?? will you drive??
Twitter: karatemom34
CGF Thankyou, but I won’t be getting to meet him this time unfortunately . You have to have special VIP tickets for that and I’m sure they are gone by now, but maybe someday!!
Twitter: karatemom34
Ok I am so excited to hear Danny’s newest song, It sounds like another amazing song by the way everyone is talking. Is it his song about Sophia?
I can’t wait to hear it Latrece!!
Latrece – well – maybe not as it is you we are talking about here!! Ha! Ha! 
I so hope you have a fabulous time meeting Danny – can’t wait to hear and see all about it.
You will have to try and contain yourself
New Cindy,you will get the chance sooner or later.
cant wait to listen the newest song
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece I’m coming from Appleton, Wisconsin so we are only about 90 minutes away. So we will be driving.
Twitter: karatemom34
CGF Yes, I’m hoping more sooner than later! Lol But good things come to those who wait, right? I hope we get to listen to the new song today!
Julie and New Cindy!! I will behave mysself but I am so stoked!! I feel like a teenager again!!
New Cindy—- I think the song is in reference to the love he has for Sophia!!
Latrece, Maryann, R-Squared,
Do you guys know if the new song that Danny premiered was a romantic love song?
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece, Can’t wait to hear it. Have to get a hold of Claudia to bring our big kleenex truck!!lol
FanOfGoodSingers — it was inclusive of romantic love, love for family, life and etc!! it was not just specific to romantic love but it definitely included it. It was Awesome OMG!!!
FanOfGoodSingers ，seems like it’s a song about love，maybe not just romantic love song,but love for everyone
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece, Where are you coming from for the concert?
Ok guys – am off home so see you on the other side!! Be good Latrece
New Cindy I think we are going to have to hold on to each other because we are going to be in weeping tears if Danny sings “It’s Only”, Best Days and “Tiny Life”!! these are transforming songs, they will surely transform your heart!!
New Cindy I am coming from CHICAGO!!!
Thanks for the info Latrece. Do you know if the song had a hook to it, and was it a slow ballad?
Twitter: LuluGokey
What happen?? What do I miss?? Another new single??
BYE JULIE!!!
Twitter: karatemom34
OMG Latrece I will definitely be bawling like a baby!! Lol You’ll probably have to hold me pretty tight cause I might be inclined to jump on that stage with all the emotion that will be going on!! Lol just kidding (I would never do that)
FanOfGoodSingers — yes the song has a catch to it; he does some twist and turns with it, but it is more of a power ballard than a slow ballard. It is not so much uptempo but power ballard.
Twitter: karatemom34
Latrece, ok I think I remember you saying that. I was born in Chicago, so I have tons of family there!!
Twitter: karatemom34
I love Danny’s power ballads!!
lulu we heard Danny singing a new song!! it is a third new song about LOVE, it was powerful, I hope someone recorded and post it!!
Good Morning everyone!
Shirl – if you’ll be here later, I just want to let you know that I’m praying for you. Be strong and have faith. Dannysisters are overcomers just like him. I believe we will all be united inprayerfor you.
Latrece – Have a blessed day. My birthday greetings and prayer go to your daughter, too. I pray for safety, good health and bountiful blessings for her.
I definitely hope that someone recorded the song so that we can hear it.
New cindy this song exude so much passion and life!! it just made you feel so refreshed and renewed in your soul and spirit!!
Twitter: LuluGokey
OMG, I can’t read those posts fast enough! Is there a new single coming out? Where is it?
Twitter: karatemom34
Good Morning Nina, Yes, keeping Cheryl in our prayers!!
NINA thank you sooo much for your prayers!! Godbless!!
I will talk with you ladies later Bye!!
Twitter: LuluGokey
Why they release another single so soon?? I’m not complaining of course, just don’t understand… Can they stop surprising us?
so excited，wanna hear it so badly
Twitter: LuluGokey
Going to bed now. Hope to hear the new single tomorrow morning
Twitter: karatemom34
Bye Latrece
Good morning New Cindy.
There’s just too much Danny activities happening lately and I’m missing most of them due to work. I can’t use internet at work and I’m not happy at all that real life is interfering with my Danny indulgence!(LOL) Oh well , good thing it’s my day off today. I have a lot of catching up to do.
I’ll watch videos and listen to audios and I’ll BBL.
Twitter: karatemom34
Nina Lol I know what you mean! Going to try and find that new song!!
Once again popping in on my lunch at work and saw all these posts and just knew something was happening. So now we have a third song. I am starting to think that Danny and his label are testing the market and his fans to decide on his first single. They never cease to surprise us.
Okay, so My Best Days Are Ahead of Me got 1 spin today in Fort Myers, FL on station WWGR-FM. It’s Only was played 3 times by KBWF-FM in San Francisco (did he interview there), KMPS-FM in Seattle (interview there as well) and old reliable in Salt Lake City who has played It’s Only every day for a couple of weeks now. I am so puzzled by what is going on – I guess we will just have to fasten our seatbelts and hold on for the ride.
Someone just posted on Twitter that Danny will be headlining Mercy Charity Ball, for Mercy Health Foundation in Arkansas on December 5.
Here is the Tweet they wrote about Danny:
kyle_e_weaver: Danny Gokey will headline Mercy's 2009 Charity Ball. Event is Dec. 5. Go to http://www.mercy4u.com to buy tickets and for more info.
I don’t know how true this is, because I didn’t see Danny’s name on the website, but I think that one of Danny’s labelmates Martina McBride headlined this charity ball last year, so maybe it is true.
If it is true, I think that it’s cool that Danny is getting more gigs.
Mercy’s website:
http://www.mercy4u.com/foundation/Events/Charity/
You know this is all starting to make sense. Did one of the articles say that Danny was going to sing 3 songs at an event next week (eithe Detroit or Wisconsin)? Danny is rolling out the 3 songs that he is going to perform at the upcoming events to include the one in North Carolina and now this Charity Ball. They are teasing us though if we can’t buy all of them cause you know we are going to want to.
lizzy it would be cool if Danny did sing these three songs at some of his upcoming events. Hopefully some of our fellow Danny fans that are going to these events will keep us in the loop about what Danny performs. And maybe we’ll get some videos of these performances as well.
Another person on Twitter has just said that Danny is doing the charity ball.
Another Tweet about Danny doing the charity ball:
NWACarin: American Idol semi-finalist Danny Gokey to headline this year's O Night Divine Mercy Health Fndtn Charity Ball, Dec. 5.
Help where can I hear Tiny Life.
Twitter: pjgvet
Ok, why can’t they have these live broadcasts on Mon. or Tues. when I am home in the am! Dang! No sound on my computer at work and too busy to stay in Dannyland.
Happy Birthday to Trish, Latrece!
Lizzy I think you are correct; I bet they rolled out the 3 new songs so Danny has something new to sing at all these appearances. I wouldn’t imagine they will change the single again. I guess its not that weird; after all Adam also has 3 songs released to radio now.
New Cindy, I will send u a DM about Grafton
Twitter: karatemom34
Hi Kathy Your not alone, I haven’t heard it either. Waiting patiently for someone to come to our rescue!! Lol
Twitter: karatemom34
Hi Pam Ok
Twitter: pjgvet
Casey25, if you are here; give Amy or Owlki your email so I can email you w/Grafton get together.
When it somes to Danny I am not very patient. Guess I am going to have to work on that. I sure hope Danny is feeling better too. With all the running around he has to do right now this is not a good time to be sick. I will keep checking in to see if some one can come up with something then.
Ahhh…I want to hear this new one!
Twitter: jannworth
hi all. Guess I missed the 3rd song! Hopefully it will surface soon. I just survived my first occasion of buying a MP.3 download from Amazon.com. I’m getting ready for buying Danny’s singles by buying Lady Antebellum–I suppose I should have experimented with Itunes instead……
While I’ve learned a lot of computer stuff while surfing re: Danny, its not been without a price! (my sanity, as an example)
Can’t wait to hear the 3rd song—I imagine we’ll hear it in Grafton??!
Just an update on my ultrasound and it’s good news. The mammogram picked up on a little skin tag which should have been noted on my chart but wasn’t, so the whole thing was a waste of time, but I’m just thankful it was ONLY a waste of time. Thank you again, for all your prayers, I so appreciate that, guys!
Latrece, so glad for you that you got the chance to talk to your precious Trish, and to wish her a happy birthday. I know this can’t be an easy time for you, either.
Shirl – I’m so happy to share with your good news. Now you can relax and enjoy your stay in Dannyland.
Still hoping for “Tiny Life” to surface somewhere.
Okay, I’m a little aggravated right now. How or where can we find out information as to which stations in which cities or towns Danny will be visiting on his radio tour?! I had no idea he would be in Utah unless it was mentioned on twitter.
I am DYING to hear this new song! A big “power ballad” as Latrece put it, is just exactly that I have been wanting to hear from him as I know it will just kill me!
Latrece, where did you find out he was going to be in Utah? Where is the list of his tour that you saw that information?
So now we have a taste of what the CD will be like: we have an inspirational song with a wonderful message, we have an upbeat happy song with a catchy tune about being positive about life, and now we have a big beautiful ballad that I am sure will bring us all to our knees!
YAY, Shirl!!!!!!! So happy for you!
I don’t know if these pics have been posted before: http://twitpic.com/pn5r1
http://twitpic.com/pn5qp
hope they’ll show up.
Hi Cindy!
Shirl – ITA with you. We’re in for a really nice treat from Danny. Can’t wait for that album to drop.
Twitter: jannworth
Looks like lots of good news at IHeart–Shirl’s good news, Latrece’s BDay wishes to her daughter, AND for all of us: another Danny song!
Come on Danny sleuths! Find us that song! jan
Twitter: karatemom34
Hey Shirl, So happy about your good news. It’s like a big weight being lifted off your shoulders. Now you can have an absolutely wonderful day!
Hi shirl!! yaYYYYY!!!! Good news! Shirl Jen posted the site here and I was able to access the site; I beleive Jen searched the web in utah and found the Coubtry radio staion where Danny was singing, I believe someone tweeted yesterday or today that Danny was going to be in Utah for his radio tour. There is no Official list of his radio tour dates and times, I guess we just have to look out for tweets?? I thought this week was the end of the radio tour, unless it continues onto next week and so forth! I was able to hear 3/4 of the song and it was beautiful!!!!!
oops lots of typos!!
Hi Shirl, I am glad that things worked out for you.
I am not sure if we will find out about all of Danny’s radio visits, some of us just keep checking Twitter and we find out about some of his visits that way.
Hopefully somehow, someone will post him singing “Tiny Life”. I haven’t heard about him doing any more radio visits today, but hopefully something will turn up.
I did see on Twitter, someone say that they were going to a private acoustic show of Danny’s today.
Here is the Tweet mentioning that:
macarthurbrady: Going to a private acoustic set with Danny Gokey today! Stoked
Maybe something will show up from wherever this person is going to see Danny perform at? Maybe Danny will start regulary performing “Tiny Life” now like he is doing “It’s Only” and “My Best Days”.
Just wanted to say what good news for you Shirl!! My prayer worked!
So pleased for you!
Twitter: pjgvet
FOGS,
I see someone at MJs (a hater) is saying that Tiny Life may be a song Jeffrey Steele wrote 5 yrs ago? Didn’t know what they were insinuating; that it is a cover or that the song is just written a while ago. Always take what a hater says with a grain of salt.
Shirl, happy to hear it was nothing!
pjgvet
I saw that comment too. In this particular case, I don’t think that the hater was saying that the song was a cover, I think that they were just saying who they thought wrote the song.
I googled Jeffrey Steel and Tiny Life and looked for it on youtube but couldn’t find a performance of him singing the song.
Maybe Jeffrey did write the song, hopefully more information about the song including a performance of Danny singing it will come out.
Also, I saw on that mediabase site, that “It’s Only” got played at a San Fransico radio station. I think that this is the first time, the song has been played on radio in San Fransico. If any Gokey fans live there they can request the song at the KBWF-FM radio station.
I wonder if RCA is going to pull “It’s Only” off radio and focus soley on getting “My Best Days’ played or if they are going to let both songs be played for radio, at least for a little while longer.
Hey guys here are some videos from the radio station that Danny sung at this morning:
Danny’s interview:

Danny singing “My Best Days”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVZRf2qXWJA

There is no video of Danny singing “Tiny Life” just yet, but hopefully the radio station will post video of that later on.
Great news Shirl…off to a big playoff football game in Sarasota. Uphill battle, hopefully a victory and no broken bones!!
Send out our investigators to get a hold of that song!!
Have FUN in Dannyland!!
Can you guys see the post I made including some links from Danny at the radio station today? I think that my comment might still be in moderation, I am not sure.
Also LOL at Danny impersonating Darius Rucker, I think that he did a good job of doing that.
Here is part 4 of Danny’s interview with the radio station KBULL 93:
Hey FOGs ~ Thanks so much! Just got home and there it is. You rock!
Love that interview! We are getting to learn so much about Danny. He is really an upfront kinda of guy. I like that! He is funny too.
Still watching and waiting for the songs.
Oh yes!!! Yeah for Shirl!
Thanks FOGS I only see one link to the radio statiion which is part 4, is there another link??
Maryann
Hopefully that station will put up the video with Danny singing “Tiny Life” soon. They keep asking him if he’s going to sing another song in the videos that are already posted. So hopefully they will put up the video of him singing “Tiny Life” soon.
And I agree Danny is funny.
Latrece here are the rest of videos that the station has posted so far:
Danny’s interview:

There is no video of Danny singing “Tiny Life” just yet, but hopefully the radio station will post video of that later on.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQIggz92Hg
I think this link will take you to Danny’s new song, Tiny Life. At least I hope so! then on the right side of the page, if you click on more videos from KBULL93 you will see 5 segments, each with songs and interviews.
Latrece I had posted the links to the other videos twice, but for some reason when I do it says that my comments are in moderation and they don’t show up. I’m not sure why it’s doing that.
But if you want to see the other videos posted so far from that radio station you can just click on part 4 of Danny at the station today and then click on the station’s name and that will take you to the rest of the videos, that have been posted so far.
The video of him singing “Tiny Life” isn’t up yet, but hopefully the station will put it up soon on youtube.
Just posted Part 5 in the radio post and it has Tiny Life in it!!
Thanks Amy.
I like “Tiny Life”.
Twitter: jancute
Good Afternoon Ladies! Full of everything Danny today! Gonna watch the movie 2012 later in our local theater! YAY! can’t wait for that, I love those kind of movies to watch. Im so excited!
I love My Best Days!!! I know I said in the past that putting up an uptempo song for the album is risky (not to mention the not so successful singles of Kradison! I think!) but Danny pulled it off together! For me, it would be a hit from him! I wish he cowrite that one! its all about him!
I want to respond about Helio’s post about sexiest people ever on the last last post I think! I think there is really a list of sexiest Idols before, It was shown just weeks after the AI8 Finale! unfortunately, Danny wasn’t there! I think Kris and Adam is there for some odd reason haha! Of course Carrie is the number 1!
LOL, FoGS! You snuck right in there with the links to KBULL! So glad we finally have them, and thanks too, Amy, for putting them up on iheart. Gonna go watch AGAIN. And then again. And then probably…..again!
Twitter: jancute
Ok! Tiny Life is something! he is killin’ that song! I wonder if Danny is reflecting on that song? I love the chorus and the bridge! its so powerful once you listen to it (as a Dannyfan) you will think of the lovestory of Danny and Sophia… I need to listen to its full intrumental uggh! I think this is not the song for Sophia though like Meredith said is it? There is no goodbye or something. I think Tiny Life is growing on me now!
thank you so much SHirl, FOGS and AMY, I get to indulge my appetite again!! Danny is really struggling with his cold or sore throat, but Danny delivers the song foreverly so gently, delicately and sweetly!! sigh!
Just watched the videos from:’KBULL93′ and WOW that boy can sing!! These days there are not many men or women that can sing live in tune!!
Danny’s voice is ‘stripped’ right down and he really nails those songs!! I so hope he fills arena’s in the future as who needs special effects when you just put Danny on a stool and watch him sing!!!
Go Danny
“Tiny Life” is my favorite song by Danny so far. It’s a lovely song. I can’t wait to hear the studio version of it.
hey y’all!!! Hope everyone is having a good Friday afternoon so far. Shirl-I’m so happy that everything went good for you. I was thinking about you last night and meant to post that but it got eaten up like two of my other posts did last night so it’s cool
But, really, I’m glad that your okay 
<3
Okay, have to look at the video of Danny performing that new song, 'Tiny Life'. Saw someone post that he did a new song today so I must check it out!!!
AWSOME I love it. Thank you for posting this. Love that Man..
Twitter: Upsnodowns
I’m so upset I can’t get the KBull interview at work. I have to wait until tonight to hear the new song. Is it posted yet?
Twitter: jancute
FOGS – me too! It sounds “So Small” its so inspirational and at the same time, its so heartfelt! its has a story, a true story, Danny’s story! I love it! I think all of the songs of Dannys are all fantastic! can’t wait for that album! I love the chorus and bridge in particular!
Twitter: jancute
That guy has a gift of connection from the song and to the audience! Im getting hooked on that song Tiny Life!
My Sweet Cheryl –AMY posted all his videos, you are going love this song. I can’t wait to hear Danny that when he is feeling his best and with the band, He is going to blow it away!!! it’s all posted Cheryl, don’t worry!!
ooops typos!!!—My Sweet Cheryl –AMY posted all his videos, you are going to love this song. I can’t wait to hear Danny when he is feeling his best and with the band, He is going to blow it away!!! it’s all posted Cheryl, don’t worry!!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Latrece Thanks. I will stop crying now and just cry from happiness when I finally hear it. Then cry some more because from what everyone is saying it must be a really emotional song.
Here are Chris Sligh’s comments about Danny changing his single:
Just heard @DannyGokey ‘s actual first single – so glad they’re not going with “It’s Only”. I think this new one has a chance for success
Really happy about that actually. I am hoping Danny has great success and was worried “It’s Only” was going to hurt that chance…
“My Best Days are Ahead of Me” is a REALLY good country song! Good songwriting, Danny’s vocals sound great. Great job, Mark Bright!
Hey Y’all!!! Just watched the videos on here from the K-Bull radio station. I’m really feeling ‘Tiny Life’. That song is such a good match for his voice, especially when he hits those high notes. Looking forward to listen to that one on his site/myspace page
I noticed that he was kind of struggling w/his throat a little bit while he was singing. Hope that he can get some rest tonight and take care of his voice. My ‘future boo-boo’ can’t get sick on us now!!!! lol 
Cheryl is a beautiful EXPOSE of the Unconditional love that Danny has in his heart for life, loved ones and Romance!!
oops typo again! Cheryl it is ( the song TINY LIFE) a beautiful EXPOSE of the Unconditional love that Danny has in his heart for life, loved ones and Romance!!
FOGS- That’s good that Chris Sligh said that about the label changing the songs. ‘Best Days’ is a really good song. It’s so catchy and upbeat and all of that. I’m not really understanding why some think that if they went ahead and released ‘It’s Only’ that it would hurt Danny. That song is a really, powerful, emotional ballad. I mean, that’s what I feel when I listen to it. Well, RCA/Sony know what they’re doing and having ‘Best days’ as the first release is a good choice.
Maybe ‘it’s only’ will be the second release? Who knows? *shrugs*
I know that I shorten ‘Best Days are ahead of me’ but y’all know what I’m talking about
Latrece-Happy b-day to your daughter! Good that you got to talk to her today
Shirl-if you’re still on, I’m glad that everything worked out for you this morning. I was thinking about you last night and I meant to tell you that but posts kept getting eaten up last night! Only happened once today, but so far so good
lol Still, glad you’re alright 
<3
Ohmystinkingoodness….”Tiny Life.” Got chills listening. If the album only had the three songs we’ve heard on it, it would be amazing…and yet I still don’t think we’ve heard the song Meredith Andrews heard Danny record, that gave her chills and made her cry. I’m so happy for Danny. His CD is going to be insanely good.
Danielle,
I don’t think that “It’s Only” would hurt Danny a lot if it was the first single released either. I think that it’s a nice song. Even though I think that “My Best Days” might end up doing better than “It’s Only” does.
After hearing “Tiny Life”, I think that they should release that as the second single, I think that it’s a lovely song and it’s my favorite song I have heard from Danny so far.
I think that releasing this love song as a second single after the releasing the upbeat “My Best Days” as the first single could definitely work.

Danielle, re your 4:35 post, not sure why you are worrying over your ‘future boo boo’s health — mighty was looking just fine last time I saw him here, all bright and bouncy as usual
Yay, another song and interviews. Will save those to watch a little later.

writeup on Danny’s new single by a gospel music blogger who’s been following Danny
http://blog.beliefnet.com/gospelsoundcheck/2009/11/danny-gokey-switches-first-sin.html
Mjs has just put up a new thread mentioning Danny’s newest song “True Life” on her blog.
I meant to type “Tiny Life”.
FOGS- It could be a possibility that ‘Tiny Life’ could be the second single. Either that one or ‘iT’s Only’ would be a good choice as the second single.
So far it’s been 3 out of 3 for Danny. That’s flippin’ awesome!!!
I wish that I could put both of his songs on my myspace page but I guess I’ll probably be able to do that next month 
steph- Oh crap!!! Forgot about mighty….lol…*hush, hush* He can’t know my ‘secret love’ for Mr. Gokey. It’ll break his big, huge, neon tennis ball heart.
lol

That Randall Bliss twitter account is almost never used. Seems it could be a big compliment to Danny that he came online to post that.
This is another, from a person in Colorado who has some 1000+ twitter followers. I also saw another person who seemed to be in who may have been in Colorado tweeting something like ‘welcome back’ to Danny. Did he stop there possibly after Salt Lake?

Danny seems to go well with fundraising. Tickets to that Mercy event go for at least $200, with sponsorships available at up to $50,000 each?
Funny they got Danny for an event in Arkansas though, rather than Kris.

Maryann, it was clear early on that Danny is a businessman: he wouldn’t have signed with a country label otherwise!
Been catching up with all the messages, and need to thank everyone again for their thoughts and prayers on my ultrasound. Also need to thank everyone for all the links, and the replies to a few of my unanswered questions.
Are we to think this is the end of the radio tour? I think I read that either on here or on twitter. I can’t believe he wouldn’t come east with it. If anyone finds out if there’s an appearance tomorrow, be sure to post.
Cindy, I don’t think Tiny Life \ is the song Meredith heard, either. It’s lovely, but it’s not all that emotional. I still hope we hear another power ballad/love song with full orchestration that will knock our socks off!
I noticed on the discussion thread from yesterday that some of my comments that I posted that disappeared last night are on there. Hmmm…very odd, but they’re there. Just thought I’d mention that
lol
Twitter: steph6449
Shirl, I haven’t read that the tour is over. I did see that they would be getting the weekends off though.
I was guessing that they might work their way into the mid-west for Monday, as Danny’s due in Detroit Weds. night and Thursday for Thanksgiving, and then to Grafton.

MJ has been really good about getting new stuff up about Danny recently; I sent her the wolf thing yesterday and his 3rd song today and she put them up within the hour!
Seems like in the past when I’ve sent stuff she hasn’t at all or very belatedly.
But this is pretty big news.
Here is a new poll on Twitter where you can vote for which idol has the best post single. All of Danny’s new songs are on the poll and three of Adam’s songs, two of Michael’s, Kris’s LLWD and Allison’s song.

*sarcasm* tee-hee 
I snuck in here on my break at work and saw the posts about Danny singing a third song, one that was EMOTIONAL AND ROMANTIC, and I wanted to shoot myself because I missed it! I obsessed and fumed about it all day, raced home (narrowly missing running a red light), came here, and lo and behold, Tiny Life was posted! Wow…I’m kind of at a loss for words, actually. It gave me chills. Danny did seem to be having trouble with his voice, but I could imagine this with full instrumentation, backup singers, and Bright’s pristine production–exactly the way it must sound on his album. It’s a beautiful song, and is very well written, and Danny really sings this one from his heart. I think this could be my favorite, and I think this would be a great choice for the second single.
I love the 3 songs we’ve heard all show a different facet of Danny’s gift–the inspirational ballad; the upbeat, fun song; and now, this big, romantic power ballad. I’m sure this was done intentionally. I think RCA must be listening to the fans because this is the kind of song we wanted to hear next. I love everything I’ve heard so far, and I know his album is going to be amazing–I CANNOT WAIT TO BUY IT!
Listening to ‘Besy Days’ and ‘It’s Only’ before I go. Listening to Danny sing just makes the time go by so much faster to me…lol
Hi Helio.
“Tiny Life” is my favorite song that Danny has premiered off his album so far, and I think that the recorded version of the song is going to be really nice. I think that this would be a good choice for his second single too.
Helio I am like a kid with my hands in a gookie jar!! I can’t figure out which one to feast on first!! Danny is truly a passionate artist and each time he sings, he gives us a piece of his heart!!
oops I meant cookie- not gookie– Danny got me babblin today!!
Danielle thank you for wishing my daughter Happy birthday, I have been all over the place today!!! mentally deluded!!
My bad, *Best Days*, sorry
Latrece- It happens to the best of us
Your welcome, btw 
Helio- ‘Tiny Life’ really is one of his more romantic ballads from his album so far, i think. I can’t wait to hear to studio version of it. That’ll be very epic for me to hear
This album is going to be awesome!!! I can’t flippin wait!!! 
Okay, I gotta get going. Have a good night everyone and I’ll catch y’all tomorrow. Deuces <3

“Tiny Life” I love it~ I think it is the best one. I want to hear the studio version
You know I was just thinking about the attacks against Danny’s singing. Each time Danny releases another new song, the haters run like wild dogs, looking to see where the song originated from so they can say he has no legitimacy or originality!!! their claim is that the song was not written for Danny or that Danny did not have any input in the song choice. I guess the label is randomly pulling out songs that does not fit Danny and forcing him to sing anything!! I can just puke each time I hear a hater questioning each song Danny comes out with!
SHIRL, I’m glad all is well! I hope Danny’s new songs provided some comfort. Listening to his gentle voice can be very soothing.

Hey everyone, FOGS thankyou for posting all the interviews from today. Loved them!!! Love the new song!! Gotta go back and listen again! Be back in a bit!
Did you all see in the Music Row article that Trent Tomlinson is releasing a 3 song EP next week. I think we should hint to RCA/Nashville and Danny that we want them to release a 3 song EP for Danny in December. We’ve already heard the 3 songs and we know we love them and want to buy them. I think a 3 song EP from Danny would sell very well. What do you all think??
Now that I have been listening to My Best Days I am really liking it and am glad that it is going to be Danny’s first single. I took me a little well to get over the fact that It’s Only was not going to be his single because I really love it but I’m not so sure it would appeal to as many people. I feel the same way about Tiny Life (although I have not heard the radio version and could change my mind). My Best Days really is a good song and very catchy. Did you all see on the pigeon poll on twitter that Danny’s song My Best Days is winning with over 50%?
Lizzy, would that 3-song EP be available to buy as a hard copy instead of just an itunes download? I could put that in my car and just play it on loop!
Don’t think it’s gonna happen but I would love it if Danny did a few covers on his album. There are some very pretty country standards out that that he would absolutely kill!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Tiny Life is my favorite Danny song. I haven’t heard the studio version but the acoustic version was so beautiful. I can definately see that song as a crossover song!

lulu,
You can see them all here http://www.youtube.com/user/KBULL93 , or they are up on a post at this site.
For those who are watching them on youtube, might not hurt to leave some not-too-fangirl-y comments. They were posted by the radio station, not a fan. Possibly someone with the station will read the comments to notice how the songs are received. The songs are in the second and fifth video.

@dannygokey You are doing a lunch in WI, I heard it on the radio–Wish I could come!! Id love to have lunch with you!!
If this is with the radio station where the guy made the rude remarks, I hope someone gives him a talking to…
Shirl, Not sure if it would be hard copy. Probably just 3 song digital EP sold on Itunes.
Just checked mediabase and My Best Days already has 3 spins – 2 in Fort Myers and one in Salt Lake City. I really do think that radio stations are going to be more willing to play Best Days than It’s Only. I absolutely love It’s Only BUT Best Days is more suited for country radio IMO. It’s Only has gone down in spins since last week so I suspect we will see Best Days pass it soon.
I know this was posted already but I do find it interesting that Chris Sligh is weighing in on Danny’s songs now. Compliments from Chris do not come often so I guess it is a good thing that he likes Best Days.
ChrisSligh “My Best Days are Ahead of Me” is a REALLY good country song! Good songwriting, Danny’s vocals sound great. Great job, Mark Bright!
Guess he didn’t like It’s Only or at least didn’t like it for country radio.

Twitter: steph6449
Good evening katy,
I’m not sure Danny sounded that much like Darius to me, but I could hear a little bit of Aaron Neville, lol.
Katy
I enjoyed Danny’s impersonations. I thought that Danny sounded like Darius Rucker and I liked hearing him sing “Crazy Love”. I would love to hear him sing that song in his regular singing voice. I remember hearing Anoop perform that song one time and I thought that he did a great job with that song. I would love to hear Danny’s take on that song as well.
I wouldn’t mind hearing Danny sing “Alright” in his regular singing voice either.
just heard the song，its beautiful

CGF, all the videos from this morning on KBULL are here on the site.
A few people have been saying on twitter that it looked like Danny wasn’t feeling all that well this morning. That he seemed tired, sounded hoarse and needed to cough. We know he had a sore throat yesterday. I hope he gets a few days off to rest up a bit.
No, Lizzy, I am sure you are right that any 3-song EP would be digital. What a shame. I sure do miss the days when REAL CD singles and EPs were around……BECAUSE OF THE PICS!!!

LULU: If someone didn’t already tell you, Danny impersonated the singing voices of Aaron Neville and Darius Rucker. (I think Steph mentioned them in her 9:51 p.m. post, although I don’t think she mentioned the last name for Darius.
Hi KATY!
Did anyone discuss the part of the Seattle interview from the other day when Danny was asked which singers he would like to sing with? Danny mentioned one of the singers from Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Darius Rucker. I’d love to hear Danny & Darius together.
steph，maybe he sees me，i wish ，lol.
anything about tomorrow’s tour？
that would be interesting if he sang with taylor swift.
he would do good with rascal flatts and carrie underwood.
lol stephanie i bet danny’s twins get mobbed and get asked for autographs
Oh wow guys! Finally getting to check back in, as the kids took control of the computer tonight. Was able to bop on quickly earlier to catch the newest single. I am speechless. This is the Danny I was waiting to hear.
This song is going to seal the deal for Danny. He is truly on his way. Three winners so far!
The haters should be making the most of their vile days. With each new song, their comments become more laughable and powerless.
I am loving TL.
Chinese Gokey Fan: No tour tomorrow. They have the weekend off. Which is good, because Danny sounds like he is sick or getting sick. I wonder if he got a flu shot?
Rachel, I missed you! Sorry! Uh, I agree — “interesting” is a good word to use for a duet with Taylor Swift.
By the way, Rachel, I can’t remember if I ever thanked you for posting the link to Carrie Underwood’s version of “I’ll Stand By You.” I love it! Cry every time I watch. Sent the link to a friend and she loves it too.
Fascinating stuff seeing him perform for the vocal effect only. I tend to think his Joe Cocker movements have more to do with clearing his sore throat, then anything else. He really looks passionate when he sings, almost as if he is in pain. Wonder if that is related to the throat too, or if that is just the way he sings, when not performing for a crowd.
you’re welcome ellen =) if there’s any other songs you want me to find for you let me know.
i like taylor don’t get me wrong but i think danny would out sing her.maybe she can write a song for him.
Taylor is a great songwriter! At least I think she writes her songs — does she?
How are folks liking Danny’s acoustic performances versus the studio versions of his songs?
Ellen B. ，thanks，i hope he is okay
yeah she writes all her songs
Maryann I love Tiny Life, I can’t wait to hear Danny sing it when he is feeling better with a full band!! he is going to blow this song out the box!! it is a beautiful song. I hope he gets rest over the weekend, maybe take some medicine or something. His voice is his money maker!!
RACHEL ，she sure is talented.just dont get it why she can be so popular，i mean if she is like normal popular i can see it，but to this level i have no clue. she must have a fantastic team/company behind her！
For some reason, I am liking the acoustic versions of IO and MBD just a smidgeon better than the studio version. I think it might be because I am hearing impaired and can hear his voice better in the acoustic versions.
That song slayed me, Latrece. With those country friendly lyrics, Danny’s stellar vocals and Mark Bright’s sparkle touch, this song is a sure fire winner.
I am seriously beginning to think that Danny is really going to do this, as in multi platinum sales.
The fact that he is being welcomed so kindly speaks volumes.
Ellen, I for one really prefer Danny’s studio versions of his songs rather than the acoustic. Just sounds richer and fuller to me.
Ditto Maryann!! I love to see him in interviews, you really get a true sense of his personality. He is so genuine, sweet and passionate!!
Taylor cannot hold a candle to the prowess of Danny’s voice, but she has a unique sound. She sounds like a young girl, and she writes touching music about young women her age. I believe this is her appeal.
What worries me, is where she will be ten years from now, because her voice is unlikely to mature with her.
This being said, I am thrilled to have a young artist that my daughter can emulate. There are far to many teen girls in music acting like they are much older and pushing the sex card. I like her.
Shirl, interesting how we all hear things differently. BTW, I am figuratively sending you a high-five! Great results on your ultrasound!
Okay girls, call me crazy, but I like to listen to Danny with my eyes closed. Seriously now! It enables me to appreciate the beauty of his vocals, without being distracted by his cutie pie exterior.
I echo that, Ellen! I’ve been there too Shirl. Sounds like lots of us have.
Count your blessings girls, and keep up with your medical screenings.
Maryann I think I am there with you regarding closing my eyes and allowing his masculine melodic voice to massage your inner being!! goodnight ladies!
So glad Danny and the guys have a break. I’m thinking we need one too. It is beginning to consume me, watching and waiting for the next Danny crumb. I need time to recuperate too!
Speaking of that… signing off for the night. The eyes are getting droopy.
It’s been a great ride guys! Danny is doing it! This is going to be so great.
I hope and pray God keeps him safe and well.
Night Latrece!
Same simple prayer for you and all the lovely people here.
Ellen and Maryann…..THANKS!
I’m saying goodnight, peeps….catch you all again tomorrow!
Hello All! I was reading through all of the posts to determine if anyone knew what the strategy of RCA/Nashville to release a 3rd song this morning?
I don’t listen to anything the haters say. DJG Music is right, they will always be haters no matter what. But I am curious as to what the country music stations are saying after Danny makes these radio appearances? What’s the reception been? Good?
I have to admit that I don’t think “My Best Days are Ahead of Me” sounded like a country song at all. I am surprised that Chris Sligh and others all calling it a good country song. Either way Danny kills it!
I am very impressed with the quality of the song writing I have seen/heard so far.
Steph6449 – I was looking for your post on twitter for what country station he was going to be this morning. There are 3 country stations in SLC, must be a big country market. Jen happened to stumble across the bull just in time for Tiny Life. I was surprised it wasn’t picked up by Amy or Owlki either. If you know for the next radio stop, please let us know! LOL!
Why they are not posting these cities, times, dates on his official website is a mystery to me!
Twitter: jannworth
Steph, I do have a twitter account (same name as here). I’d appreciate any help you can give me on tracking down a possible Danny event in Mad-town (our little nickname for WI’s state capital city).
I would be REALLY surprised if Danny came to Madison. It is a pretty small market. (I think I heard it was one of the smallest venues on the AI live tour–but man, was Danny great that night!) Good night to whoever is left—I’m treating myself to some DG videos/songs…..
PS. I occasionally alternate between watching every move and closing my eyes so I can hear every note.
Twitter: pjgvet
Michelle-
My theories: (for what they’re worth!)
They have released 3 songs so that Danny has something new to sing at all these little gigs he has in Nov. and Dec. As well as whet everyone’s appetite for the CD.
I think the mystery surrounding the radio tour is because they want to get away from Danny’s AI fandom and intro him to country audiences; try to get them to accept him as a new country artist without the “crutch” of AI stardom.
You don’t think Best Days is Country? I really think it is and can see people shuffling their feet to it in country bars. I had my alt. rock 15 yr old listen and she said it was “too country”. BTW, she says Taylor Swift is NOT country, she is pop, lol.
Hey Ellen!=) Hows it goin? And shoot Cindy i know right? And i just got back not too long ago from getting more food. Never met a person that ate so much Has anyone found any more dates for Danny radio shows yet?
Michelle,
I agree with Pam. I think RCA’s strategy is to keep the buzz going with Danny and to introduce enough songs from his debut album for him to sing at upcoming performances. From what I understand it is normal for new country artists to be introduced to country radio with a radio tour. After listening to My Best Days all day today I think it sounds country and will do much better on radio than It’s Only. I also think it will do better than Tiny Life although we haven’t heard the studio version yet. I really hope that his label considers releasing all 3 songs on a digital EP on Itunes before Christmas but don’t know if they will. It’s Only is slowing down on spins and My Best Days has been played 3 times today. Brian Mansfield indicated in his article the other night that RCA has not made it’s push to radio yet so when they do we should see My Best Days being played a lot more hopefully.
