Hello to all Danny fans! Thank you for bringing all the news on Danny for those of us who haven’t been able to visit the site as often as they would like to. Even though I’m very busy I still need to get the daily news on how things are going for Danny and for all you lovely Danny fans!
I have voted once a day on both CMT and GAC. It’s so great to know that in two weeks Danny’s CD is released and then there is no stopping him. I have never waited this much for an artist to release an album and I’m basically counting the days.
I’ve got a lot of work to do today and want to wish you all a great day!
Morning all!
I haven’t had a chance to see the ‘Kradison’ interview yet but all I will say is that when Danny was asked in a recent interview about Adam’s performance at the AMA’s, he responded in defence of Adam and in a mature way. I don’t think I am going to watch the interview as we all know who the actual ADULT is anyway…. I am just so glad Danny is being himself and is in a genre that allows him to do that. We all worried when Danny hadn’t been signed but as with most things – it’s the timing! Danny knows what he wants and if it is going to take time, then so be it! It is very rare to come across any ‘pop stars’ who have that attitude – that’s just an observation of mine- some are lovely people but they are ‘guided’ by ‘men in suits’ with dollar/pound signs in their eyes…..Which is why Danny has chosen not to go the ‘pop’ route and into a genre that has welcomed him with open arms
Hey Claudia – you around?
I found my Blue cd last night and I really love ‘All Rise’ , ‘Too Close’ and ‘Fly By’. I look forward to hearing the new album. Yes it is such a waste that Duncan says he is bisexual 
I hope we see/hear something from yesterdays appearance in Albuquerque?
Hi Hannele – good to hear you still voting – me too!
I hope you have a good day but don’t work too hard!
Rachel – loved your ‘children’ – very attractive looking if I may say
Everyone else – hope the weather is better than it has been for you all? Have a good day and maybe I will return later

Morning ladies~~~
Seems everyone was discussing that kradison interview yesterday… I don’t want to speculate what they were really thinking. I just don’t care. I wish they mean good. After all, the best thing is that Danny’s now far away from all these dramatic kradison fans and trying to build a career step by step. Let’s just focus on him rather than those things… And, if they’re really good friends, I don’t think Danny will be quite happy to read some not so nice comments against them when he’s lurking here…
Ellen, thank you so much!!!
Going to vote now! Hmmm… I’m keeping asking some Chinese fans to vote when they’re talking something irrelavant and now they call me Hitler…
Hi Lulu! Couldn’t agree with you more. I’m totally skipping any negative stuff and could not care less what the other idols from season 8 are doing (except for Matt). All I care about is that Danny is happy with what he is doing and that he will have a successful career and record many many albums for me to enjoy.

Good morning Hannele, Julie and Lulu!
I think i have the the beginning of a flu. Yesterday’s night i was having a sore throat and during this night my body started to hurts, i feel it heavy i barely can cough without my belly hurting.Seems like i will spend this day in bed with my laptop in front of me lol
Julie, i have One Love and Guilty Dvd’s too, as you can see i was fanatic by them lol they are my soundtrack of my adolescence it’s kinda nostalgic haha about a favorite song maybe U Make Me Wanna, but i do love Where U Want Me, Walk Away and Breathe Easy too! LOL
Wish we can have some info about Danny’s last night’s event
*going to vote for him
Twitter: kiady
Remember that big music website that i emailed in order to they add Danny to their artist list and MBD to their playlists i told you about? They already replied to me about a couple of weeks ago, they said they appreciated and would add Danny and his song to their website, well it happens that they didn’t! So i’ve been emailing them again and tweeting, this morning they replied: “Hello Kiady- thanks for the tip – we will add the music you asked for soon – thanks ” i hope this time if for real!! and they added “However you can always make your request through the area of the Requested Songs -> http://bit.ly/3qDuVB” oh really?! i already did!! lol
If you would like to help me http://cotonete.clix.pt/musicas_pedidas/resultado_procura.aspx?song_name=My+Best+Days+Are+Ahead+Of+Me&artist_name=Danny+Gokey
-scroll down then below “nº de votos votar” click on that circle
-click “votar” them “confirmar” (it’s done! if you want to vote again click on “votar novamente” and you can click on that button over and over again
Oh Claudia – you poor thing! You need to stay in bed and keep warm! Drink plenty of water and think of Danny
‘Breathe Easy’ is another favourite of mine!! Oh it’s all coming back to me now
Lulu – I hope your post wasn’t aimed at me – I won’t be watching the interview and agree that we should concentrate on Danny and not on the ‘past’. I hope my comment hasn’t come across as ‘nasty’?
Ok Claudia – when I get home tonight – I will vote on the website too!!
Twitter: kiady
Julie, yes i will thanks
i will be here in the warm of ihrt too! lol
That’s so weird…i posted a thread on DGO in December and it have some replies i just went to the thread again to post that info from my last post here, and all the replies disappeared!! how weird is that?!
Twitter: kiady
Julie, thank you! really appreciate it! and i don’t think Lulu was aim at you, she was just telling us her opinion, i think!
Twitter: LuluGokey
Hey Hannele! I love that little thing in your picture! Now it appears to be red??
Aww poor Claudia… you need to take care of yourself… hope you get better soon!
I still don’t know how that link works? I see 4 MBDs, which one should I choose?
Julie, no, I wasn’t aimed at you at all! Remember I said before that it sometimes takes me half an hour to write a post due to my poor English… so I didn’t even know you have a post when I was writing mine.
I wasn’t aimed at anyone actually, I just don’t want things turn too negative when reading yesterday’s thread. 
Hi Julie, I’m sure Lulu wasn’t pointing particularly at your comment, but more on the discussions which took place when various people were commenting on the “Kradison” interview.
Hi Claudia, hope you will recover soon and won’t get a bad flu.
Twitter: kiady
Lulu, yes sorry! it was me who add so many MBD
lol vote on the one which have the most votes i just voted about 80 times today in order to reach 100 votes haha any problems that you have ask me about it sweetie 
Thank you Hannele!!
Lulu, in this picture the little rhino Maalim has just taken his mud bath. The reason why he is a little red from the mud is that the soil in Africa is kind of reddish and therefore the mud is red as well.
Twitter: kiady
still voting on that Portuguese website, seems like you did it Lulu! the votes are increasing it’s not just me
Twitter: kiady
YEAAAAAAH we made Danny reach the Most Voted Songs check it out here
http://cotonete.clix.pt/musicas_pedidas/mais_votadas.aspx
Twitter: LuluGokey
Yayy~~ Claudia, I just voted several times~~
Hannele, I think he’s cute in red!
Twitter: kiady
If we keep Danny in the first 10 most voted songs then they will add the song to their playlist!!!!
Twitter: LuluGokey
LOL!! It’s pretty easy to make him in top 10!
Lulu, I think so as well. This little rhino is so cute when you see him.. I miss Africa so much.. I’m going to have to run a tight budget if I’m going to travel to US to see Danny and visit Africa again within a year..
Twitter: kiady
Lulu, i know! haha
Twitter: kiady
Hannele, oh you are going to travel to US to see Danny?! Lucky you!!!
Twitter: LuluGokey
Wooo~~ Hannele you already have a plan to go to US? Great!! I don’t even know how much money I should save to do that…
Twitter: kiady
A month ago i went a research to know how much money i would need to take a flight to the US…obviously i searched for the low costs and the cheapest ticket to a flight round trip were almost 700€ = 964.11 U.S. dollars (went to Google to convert the amount) then i saw some other flights around 1000€ = 1 377.3 U.S. dollars it’s so much many, i can’t really afford it
and it’s just the flight ticket and i simulate the flight about 4/5 months before the flight date, the longer the advance to the flight date the cheaper it becomes!!
Twitter: kiady
i went(?) lol i meant “did”! sorry!
Lulu and Claudia, travelling to US is definitely in our plan, but it will take a lot of planning schedule wise, because my boyfriend want to be able to see other country artists as well and I want to see Danny and as many of the Iheart people as possible.
Twitter: kiady
Hannele, it will be a great trip and everything will work out

morning all
someone from last night
Got home from seeing @DannyGokey… he was AWESOME!!!
{did you get to meet him?} Yes, I did. He was very nice!
.
this is just a correction to something I posted last weekend. Mallary Hope’s EP is still available for now on iTunes. I just couldn’t find it as I misspelled her name and iTunes seems awful picky about that (Mallary was tweeting that they will be taking it down as they were “out of room” at iTunes which seemed weird.)
good mornin all
lol thanks julie
i was called a snob lastnight oh my shall i cry lol like that hurt my feelings.
Claudia, thank you! If you set your mind on achieving something you will and you should also make a plan in which you set yourself a deadline for seeing Danny performing in concert. You can do it!
Hi everyone.
Danny is currently #41 on the chart from mediabase and up 1 spin for the week.
i like mallary steph that is weird.how can they be ‘out of room’ ?
Hi Rachel, sorry that I wasn’t here to give you my condolences on the loss of your friend.. Hope you are able to cope with it and have the possibility to talk about with somebody close.
Good morning Steph!
Looks like I’m going to miss talking with Latrece..
Have a great day ladies. I need to log off and do some serious work, otherwise I have do a lot of overtime today..
Ladies, I think Kris’s maturity and leadership shows he’s a WINNER. We already knew he loves Danny, and we now have further confirmation. Yeah!
Billie, here’s a link:

Hannele, the problem is that i have no allowance so how can i collect so much money?
the only way is me getting a job but with college it’s kinda a hard to conciliate and my dad wouldn’t let that happen 
he says my “job” is studying to get a good degree
Hi again! I went to lunch so disappeared for a bit
Sorry Lulu – I forget it takes you a while to post – that’s ok then
sometimes you can get 3 posts on here all at that same time so it gets confusing 
Thanks for clearing that up! I do hope you get to see Danny one day- hopefully in your own country as it would be cheaper for you.
Good luck Hannele to you & your boyfriend on your planned trip to the USA
Well done Claudia!! I will start my voting at home later and just keep pressing those buttons – ha!
I hope you too get to see Danny – how exciting would that be?? 
Rachel- you a snob?!! I don’t think so!!!
Twitter: kiady
Lulu, 360 votes!
i’m going to stop for a while, now it’s CMT time lol
thanks hannele i’m doin better i still have my moments.
FOGS,
I just checked mediabase and Danny is now #40 up 23 spins. Looks like Randy Houser’s song moved down. All the heavy hitters moved ahead of him so let’s hope he has a chance to move solidly into the top 40. Hovering around #40 is not good because he keeps going in and out of the top 40.
Twitter: LuluGokey
Hannele, I’m so happy for you! I hope you can work out your plan soon!
I just did a little research, and seems it only need a little more than ￥3,000 (about $500) for a round trip from where I live to LA and back! Sounds quite acceptable… hmmm… maybe I can start saving money? 
Good to know Danny has 1 more spin than last week… not many but at least it’s increasing steadily.
Twitter: kiady
Julie, that’s ok, vote just when you are able to do it and obviously if you want to! oh!! i can’t even quantify the level of enthusiasm that i would reach if that happens LOL if he goes to perform in London i can try to go there the ticket to London it’s much cheaper
i was askin someone a question on twitter and they said i was a snob and got a bad attitude and i’m immature julie lol
Twitter: LuluGokey
LOL, yeah Claudia, let’s move to CMT as Danny’s quite safe on your station’s chart.
Twitter: steph6449
not sure exactly what this publication or blog site is, but argh. someone wrote a thoughtful comment at least
http://www.phillyburbs.com/opinions/blogs/burbsblogs/pop_culture_blog/pop_culture_blog_details/article/418/2010/february/03/danny-gokey-has-a-funny-way-of-saying-he-misses-his-dead-wife.html
Twitter: LuluGokey
Oh, Julie, that’s OK. Hope you didn’t get upset by the misunderstanding…
I am glad to see Danny back up in the Top 40, Danielle.
When I had checked it some minutes ago, they had him up for one spin. But I think that sometimes they do multiple updates in one day on that chart.
I hope Danny can hold onto a Top 40 spot for the rest of the week. And I am glad to see his audience impression is getting bigger. He might just be able to hold onto 40 for the rest of the week, especially since Gretchen and Luke are ahead of him by several spins. The #37 song by Bombshell is losing spins though, so maybe they will move down.
I meant to write in my last post, that Bombshell might move down because they are losing spins.
Twitter: kiady
Lulu, that amount it’s acceptable in my opinion, can’t you blackmail the pilot in order for him to change the flight route then you would fly over here to take me with you?? what do you think? haha
Twitter: LuluGokey
Claudia, maybe I can try! LOL!! But you have to make sure I won’t get caught before I meet Danny!
Ah Lulu – I am fine – takes quite a bit to upset me
I just hate to think I offended anyone 
That LA trip sounds a good price to me – yes you had better start saving now 
Claudia – of course I want to vote
if you do get the chance to come to London -let me know – perhaps we could meet up? 
Rachel – they obviously don’t know you very well do they
I know I have never met you but I can tell you are most certainly not a snob or immature!! 
FOGS – I hope Danny can hang onto that Top 40 spot – he still has a few appearances this week – so hopefully that will help
Hello everybody! Good evening! I’ts already 9 in the evening here trying to catch up watch the latest on Danny and same to you ladies!
Latrece – How are you? I hope your fine! I was not able yo greet you Happy Valentines Day last feb 14 I’m sorry I was sooo busy lately these days! I hope it was great! Happy Valentines too to all the Gokey fans there!
Jannikas – Good evening to you! How are you? I’ve always read your discussion and that made me happy about the latest update on Danny and I did not forget to vote for him on GAC that’s the only thing that I could share to you and for Danny!
“MAHAL KO KAYONG LAHAT” In Filipino it means I Love you all! More Power and God Bless everybody! Take Care! Bye!
I had meant to say thanks Lizzy, but I had typed Danielle instead.
lol thank you julie
that’s def not me,i’m not a snob or immature. you don’t see me writin things on twitter what i want to do to danny lol
Twitter: kiady
Lulu, well as i look Asian too we can pretend we are not understanding what the cops are saying to us and then we run 8) LOL
Julie, you live in London or somewhere around it? I always dreamed about travel to London
Claudia – I live about a 4 hour train ride to London. I have a friend who lives there and I go to visit her when I can. I am sure we can work something out if you ever came to visit London.
It was fantastic!!
My friend took me to see the show ‘Hairspray’ for my birthday last year
Rachel – best to ignore people like that
Twitter: LuluGokey
Claudia you’re so funny!! LOL~~~
Twitter: kiady
Julie, it’s a long trip. Ok then it’s a deal
Lulu, lol it might work!
Excellent Claudia – I look forward to it
I have to go now as it is getting busy here at work.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone – Lulu & Claudia – behave!
Hi everyone, I came online quickly because I saw Julie! I don`t often get chance to chat to you- I hope you`re well, and that your sister is making a gradual recovery- Wow, those songs by `Blue` are really bringing back some memories-I have that CD, I love Breathe Easy as well, because we love Lee!! My daughter was going out with a boy at the time who was SO like him-but, she let him go-silly girl lol! Claudia, look after that `flu, because I just had swine `flu and it`s left me run down and with sinusitis, seems I`ve got another virus that is affecting my ears- You are young and fit, so you will soon get better- Wouldn`t it be wonderful if we could meet up one day? Count me in for the London trip! Rachel, who called you a snob-I find that hilarious, you are so NOT a snob-as Julie said, IGNORE- hard, I know- Right, have to get some housework done, I feel like I have sea-sickness-very unsteady- It is such a lovely day here today, for a change!
Goddmorning all!! lulu, Claudia I love both of y’all antics!! you are too funny!!! we would love to meet Clauidia and lulu. I can only imagine how both of your faces will look when you finally meet sweet Danny!!
Twitter: kiady
Julie, ok have a good day at work! Me and Lulu always behave haha, right?
Carole, yes it would be!
i do not have fever, i have sore throat, cough a stuffy nose and my body hurts..but i already took a pill i’m feeling a little better now 
goodmorning everyone!!! julie I just missed, have a good day!!– hello lulu, I see you and Claudia are naughty today LOL!!
Claudia I am so glad you feel better since taking a pill, whatever pill that was
lol I hope we get a tweet from sweet Danny today!! 
have awesome day everyone vote vote!!
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, hi sweetie! i’ve been missing you and Cindy, i think she disappeared from the internet world LOL me and Lulu being naughty? nah…lol
i tell you the pill i took was a paracetamol one LOL
Hi Claudia that pill sounds similar to tylenol like a pain pill. I have not heard of that pill before!! we miss you too Claudia!!
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, here it calls “benuron” i told you paracetamol because it’s the content of the pill, i thought you should know it better this way!
I had a longggggg work day yesterday!! today is somewhat of a busy day!!
hey Claudia what type of pill is it?? some names of medications I am not familiar with!! did you vote today for Danny?? I need to vote some more with CMT!!
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol LOL
now i’m watching last night’s AI episode 
yes i did a lot of voting i voted on that Portuguese website and on CMT
Claudia did you talk with cindy yesterday??
Lulu,
I think you make a really, really good point. I do feel that we do have a tendency of “speculating” on every negative comment and making it more than it really is. Even though I do believe everyone here has good intentions.
I agree – I don’t think Danny will be quite happy to read some not so nice comments against them when he’s lurking here…
The truth is – not everyone will always love what Danny does. That’s part of being in the public eye. And when you think about it, the hate is really pretty nominal at this point.
And it’s a COMPLETE MYTH that everyone loves Kris, Adam, Allison. I have seen a lot of vicious things written about them. They may get more attention from the MTV crowd, only because that’s their musical genre.
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, no i’ve spent my day here and i think she didn’t appear, why?
Claudia– Cindy didn’t appear yesterday?? hmmm I don’t know why??
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, at least if she appeared i missed her lol
Claudia I know Cindy has been busy with work, karate and taking care of home!!
Twitter: kiady
Latrece, oh poor her
well sweet Claudia I need to get back to work, I will return later, I hope I see you later, if you feel okay!! bye!!
Wow! You’ve all been busy today!
Can I just say how much I dislike Kradison? Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah!.
I can’t stand to even listening to their interviews. Oh yeah, and JC is going to rot in a place south of heaven.
Yep, I knew I shouldn’t have gone there.
Hope you feel better soon, Claudia.
Also, seems you lost a friend, Rachel. So sorry. I must have missed that post. My condolences.
Twitter: kiady
ok have a good day
talk with u later!!
Twitter: kiady
Thank u Maryann!!
Twitter: pjgvet
Good morning everyone-
Claudia, hope you feel better soon!
Maryann who is JC? (You don’t mean Jesus Christ do you?!) Did I miss part of that interview? Oh, wait I just figured you meant Jim Cantiello, ROFLMBO
Yeah, that interview was just annoying; it just seemed really strange and immature and insincere somehow. Allison bugged the heck out of me.
You wonder if those 3 are happy about being thrown together like that?
Thanks for the update FOGS and Danielle, I hope he can stay in top 40! Needs those countdowns.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Hello everyone! It is always fun to come here in the morning and see that people from around the world have already been here!
Claudia, I’m so sorry that you’re sick, I hope you feel better soon. I voted a bunch of times on that website you posted.
I hope everyone has a great day today!
Maryann and pjgvet, it’s worth watching a second time, to see how POSITIVE an influence Kris had. I appreciated Adam and Allison’s respect for Kris and his good judgment.
The Horseshoe Tunica event in MS will be Danny performing at Horseshow Casino on March 27 at 8pm.
Here is a Tweet about it on Twitter:
TunicaMS: Danny Gokey is coming to @Bluesville! March 27 at 8pm. Tickets go on sale this Friday and they are only $21.00!!!!! Get yours quick!!!
And a place for people to buy tickets for it:

The Horseshow Tunica event that Danny will be performing at will be at Horseshoe Casino in MS. He will performing there at March 27 at 8pm. Here is some more information about it:
From Twitter and ticketmaster:

Wish I had the guts to do it, R2. There is just no way I can stomach Cantiello, because the guy perpetuates pure evil. It is his purpose in life. I’d fully describe what I really think of him here, but don’t want to force poor Erika into deleting my comments.
My comments aren’t directed at any of the three ex-AI contestants, but rather the psuedo-grouping for cross promotion purposes, and all the ‘love me – love us’ nonsense.
IMO, this Kradison concert was nothing more than one last ditch effort perpetuated by 19 to try to save AI’s career.
Can’t get past the where is Gokey thing. Each of these artist will need to stand on their own, just like Danny.
It will be interesting to see where they all are two years from now, because as I see it, Danny is the only one not holding onto that AI lifeboat for their dear life.
AI is long done for these three. Time to sink or swim.
Claudia, your Dad is right — your “job” is to do as well as you possibly can in college! You are setting up your future.
Steph, glad for the reminder about Mallary Hope either way.
I got off my duff and bought Mallary’s “Love Lives On,” Matt G.’s duet, Michael Sarver’s kerosene
song, plus some other country tunes: Kenny Chesney’s “I’m Alive,” Blake Shelton’s “Hillbilly Bone” (too funny!), “Dierk Bentley’s “What Was I Thinking” (also funny), Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope you Dance” (well, duh!), and Keith Urban’s “Till Summer Comes Around” (that’s the first KU tune I’ve liked, but I really like it — gives me that Bosman vibe). Anyway, I’ve been busy on Amazon, buying singles.
Perhaps I should add…
Out of three of them, I find Kris the most palatable personally.
Ellen,
Good for you!
Hey Carole! I missed you again
Thanks for asking after my sister – yes she is making a very slow & painful recovery but at least it is a recovery…Sorry to hear you are still feeling the after effects of swine flu – unfortunately it lowers your immune system so you will pick up anything going!
Yes I would love for us all to meet up in London – how cool would that be?
It’s been lovely here too Carole – a pleasant change to the gloomy day yesterday!!
Right I am due to finish work in 10 minutes – am looking forward to seeing the 2 hour special of AI9 tonight
Until the morning guys – take care! Hi & bye Maryann, Pam & Ellen & apologies to anyone I have missed!
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
On the problem that Claudia mentioned on Danny’s website, I have been asking Nashville Wyatt for a week now to fix it. I have left several messages on the Questions & Support section, and also send a message using the “Send us Feedback” link.
The problem is with the nested reply. You can create a thread, you can create a reply to an initial post. But if someone tries to comment on one of the replies, it gets “eaten”.
I just sent an email to his management company to let them know there was an unresolved issue on the site, so hopefully they will look into it. It’s going to be tough for him to build a community of fans on his official site if people can’t reply to each others’ comments.
Twitter: pjgvet
R-squared; If you read yesterdays conversation, you’ll see some of us thought Kris was neutral or actually tried to direct the conversation away from Jim’s stupid question by saying Next question. Most of us have watched it more than once.
I appreciate that; but wouldn’t call it positive.
I have really appreciated Kris’s defense of Danny in the past; its obvious he loves Danny and is a stand up guy.
Adam, eh, nothing bad, he just laughed loudly; I think that was just in response to the dumb question, although of course some are taking it as him thinking it was funny.
Allison, giggly and immature, too worried about the spotlight on herself.
Twitter: jancute
Good Afternoon Ladies!
I watched the Kradison Concert! it was pitiful! I agree with Pam, Allison gave me a tick attack after her “whatever” response about Danny! uggh! half salute to Adam cuz at least he made a decent answer and full salute to Kris who really defended our Dannyboy!
Heres a thought! why joined them on a concert? why not separate them and have their own concerts. They are individualized “soon”? to be established artists right???
JC! Go to the south of heaven like what Maryann said! you have your room prep and ready! haha
Awww Danny finished reading a book… I wonder if he is fond of reading non fic book like Harry Potter cuz I love those, I mean watching its movies LOL!
Hey, Gokeyguy! I love how Kris isn’t afraid to challenge, and even chastise if necessary.
pjgvet, it was actually YOUR comment yesterday that made me watch that section again, to see what was REALLY happening!
Twitter: pjgvet
Lol, R2- We have it covered here at iheart, don’t we
Twitter: jancute
R2, Pam – LOL! I don’t have any idea what you guys talked to yesterday, I have some ideas in mind but thats it haha…
Pam – ITA with your post 11:57! very nice observation. I misjudged Kris before but now my respect is full for him (but of course Danny is #1)
I can’t believe you guys fell for Kris “defense of Danny” hook, line and sinker.
With “Why would you bring that up?” and commanding “Next question!” Kris effectively buried the subject of Danny.
That was no defense, but a foxy tactic which elegantly swept Danny under the carpet as something trivial and unimportant.
Gotta hand it to Kris. He is way more clever than given credit for. No wonder of the top 4 Kris seems to have the most male fans.
When Allison more rhetorically, rather than inquisitively interjected: Does he have a video as well!? it was her attempt to say something positive, and get the conversation rolling, but it was Kris who put a stop to any further promotion of Danny and ordered “Next question!”
Oh my, no wonder he won. I was so sidetracked and blind all these months. Kris was the true alpha male of season 8.
Fascinating. Nonchalant and laid back, captain cupcake is pulling me away from Danny. I do not like this. I do not like this one bit!
Twitter: kiady
I’m back, i was feeling tired so i took a nap.
Pam, and Josie thank you for your “feel better wishes”, Josie thanks for voting and i really appreciate it!
Ellen i know he’s right…i just wish i could “collect” some money to see Danny…
Josie, glad it’s not just my threads that have replies disappearing lol

Danny’s story to be on Lifetime TV. How about that!
http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=196659&cat=1
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
it’s a TV show called “The Balancing Act”, I’m not familiar with it b/c I don’t watch a lot of TV. Maybe a talk show? But I know a lot of women love Lifetime and they will be touched by hearing about SHF.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Hi everyone. I have to try to do some heavy voting on CMT today, cuz I didn’t vote nearly as many times as I did last week – I just haven’t had as much time! I want to make sure Danny stays at #1!
I saw the Kradison interview – wish I had not seen it. Although I do think they were all a bit caught off guard by JambaJim’s stupid question, so maybe some of the laughter was just from being put in an uncomfortable position and not knowing exactly how to react. They also know how much JambaJim dislikes Danny and maybe they just didn’t think it was necessarily the best time to defend Danny, so they laughed it off and moved on. Kris appeared to be a little quicker on his feet and while he didn’t completely defend Danny, he at least brought up that Danny is in Nashville, without making any judgements and then moved on. I will give Adam and Allison the benefit of the doubt on this one.
JambaJim is the one who showed ZERO level of maturity. Why he asked the question in the first place was beyond me. He obviously was trying to get Kradison to say something negative about Danny. I tweeted him today saying “You sure seem to have a fascination with Danny Gokey. Interesting that one of the first questions you asked Kradison was about Danny”
For someone who doesn’t like Danny he sure seems obsessed with him! Why would he care why Danny is not at a rock/pop concert? He can’t be that dumb that he couldn’t figure out why a country artist would not be included at a rock show. And, when he asked them why they think EVERYONE is so interested in the three of them, I was thinking who is EVERYONE? Just because he, and the disgusting writers from EW are obsessed with Kradison doesn’t mean the whole world is!
I personally hope when Danny becomes a superstar and EW and JambaJim are begging to interview him, he doesn’t grant them their request. HOWEVER, I do know that Danny’s level of maturity dictates that he would probably grant them an interview and be kind, open and respectful, as he always is.
Claudia, I do hope you feel better. I have a horrid headache. The air in my town is absolutely foul, its making my sinuses ache. Tomorrow the southern wind should be the game, hopefully it will take the soot and grime away.

Cheryl, I actually don’t think that JambaJim does dislike Danny. He had a recent “chat” appearance at mj’s, and got the question if he had changed his mind about anyone after the season was over. He said that after he met Danny he realized how he had misunderstood him. I am paraphrasing but that’s the jist of it. He recently did a little follow up on S8 that wasn’t mean to Danny, it poked at him a little as it poked at everyone, but it wasn’t meanspirited. But Jim misjudges the line sometimes, and I think that’s what happened this time.
Twitter: pjgvet
Josie, I think Jim will do or say anything for a laugh. But that doesn’t make me forgive him!
This Kradison interview should be a class study in media and perceptions. I find it extremely interesting how that interview was viewed so differently from different people just at iheart here! From one extreme to the other- from Kradison slyly putting Danny down/openly ridiculing him to Adam and especially Kris gallantly stopping Jim in his ridiculous tracks (although I guess everyone kind of agreed Allison was immature, albeit some like Bosman thinking she was trying to get positive talk about Danny going).
Although we all think Jim was a donkey with ulterior motives for bringing Danny up; our perceptions are tempered as to how Kradison responded- perhaps because we either like some of them or because they are his friends?
I know Danny fans can be too defensive (at least I know I am)because of all the hate he endured.
I just find the whole conversation psychologically fascinating!
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Josie Thanks for the heads up on the Lifetime show! Danny’s story is so inspirational and I am glad that others recognize how Danny’s story can help others.
I love that Danny is involved in so many informational and charitable promotions and events. It really shows what kind of person he is and that he knows what is important in life.
Listening to Danny speak, I sense that he has really thought hard about what this opportunity on AI and the signing of a record deal means and it sounds to me that he realizes that there is purpose beyond the music, fame, money, etc. He seems to view it as more of a vehicle to help others, rather than just as a personal reward and that by helping others he will be helped. Danny has often talked about when he was on Idol he was always analyzing and over-analyzing. He definately is a thinker! No doubt he has spent many hours contemplating why this is all happening to him and what it all means. Seems to me he has come to the conclusion that this opportunity provides a a way for him to give to others and in the process he will receive as well.
Cantiello: “Was Gokey ever involved in this?”
Thank God I do not do twitter.
Pam,
Have to agree with you about this discussion. Fascinating study in human response. Just glad we can all agree on one thing – Cantiello is a waste of space.
As for Allison, I worry about her. Such a shame to waste the opportunity she has been given. Talking about tweeting on the toilet is no way to entice people into digging you and your music, as a young women.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Pam I agree, it is endlessly interesting!
I don’t believe that any of his fellow S8 alums dislike Danny or would ever want to do him any harm. Do I wish they had more proactively taken a stance against how Danny was treated by the AI bubble? Of course. Perhaps they feel as if they did what they could, considering their own fears about their own circumstances.
I think Adam actually did the most to address it. Remember when he sent that tweet to try to shut down that riduculous “green man” thing? That tweet was very helpful, I was able to use it in building my argument at mj’s that there was no rift between Danny and Adam. There were also bubble tweets that I don’t think were a coincidence. And also Adam’s mom saying it was a myth. I remember reminding them that Adam speaks up when he has a problem with someone, and concluded “Why would Adam and his mom try to trick us? I don’t think they would.”. That worked really well, if I do say so myself.
Kris has actually come along from where he was. He used to come across as more “treading on dangerous territory” when Danny came up, and I always felt that he tried to carefully skirt the religion thing because what was happening to Danny was so scary, and I do think it happened in part because of people associating religion with bias against people like Adam. So unfair to Danny, but he got tagged with it. This time, Kris treated Jim more like Danny treated those interviewers the other day who were trying to joke about Jamar. Polite, but clearly “that’s not ok with me”.
Allison is just a kid. I like her, but as mature as he voice sounds, she actually seems very young for her age.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
her voice, not he voice.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
bosman – Very interesting perspective on Kris’s motives. I hadn’t seen it that way, but you may be right. Maybe Kris is the one who stopped everyone cold and decided it was time to move off of Danny and onto himself. I still say however that the three of them were a bit taken off guard and weren’t expecting the question, so used laughter as a way to cover their discomfort with the direction of the questioning. I hardly think that JambaJim was going to start asking or saying positive things about Danny and I am glad that whatever his motives were, Kris went off-subject.
Josie – I did not see the JambaJim discussion on MJ’s. If he was sincere about what he said, then great. But I do question his sincerity. When he did an interview with Danny, before he showed it he made some reference to having been mistaken about him and said that he liked him. However, it was not long after that when he dissed Danny in a major way on one of his video clips. I think he is just two faced and says what is convenient at the time. Kind of like Rickey!
ITA with last post by Cheryl.
Anyway, I am happy to report that my 2-hour fascination with Kris is over.
During my 2-hour Kris fascination, I checked out his single, second time since it came out, and watched some you tube clips. Meh. He is just too watered-down and too simple for my taste.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Cheryl, I don’t want to be unkind about Rickey, but I think he has some issues. He has made some decisions that don’t appear to rationally be in his best interests, I’ll put it that way. That is not said to excuse him, by the way. He needs to pull himself together. Jim gets on my nerves sometimes but I don’t sense the deep-seated cynicism in him that I do with people like Slezak and Kristen Baldwin. Jim is capable of being truly funny, but I don’t like him when he goes for “humor” that falls on the low end of the bell curve. That will get a cheap laugh from a certain element of his audience, but to me it would not be worth the damage to self-respect of catering to that.

My Best Days on Fm106 right now! They play the song 50% faster than my IPOD version! Lots of energy, but it sounds strange always. Milgokey is doing their part; playing Danny 5x a day, during prime time.
I bought Sugarlands CD. Figure I have to get familiar with their music if I’m going to have to put up with them to see Danny
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Pam It is really interesting how everyone has a different perspective on the whole Kradison thing. What’s really interesting is how the media can manipulate and influence people. I know it happens all the time, particularly when it comes to politics. I guess I didn’t really think about it as much when it comes to entertainment. But now that I have been following Danny’s career, I really do realize how much influence the media has on who people like or dislike and they can really make or break an artist. As you know I have not renewed my subscription to EW because of their horrible treatment of Danny. I fully expect they will be very negative when they review Danny’s CD. At first I thought they might just ignore it and not review it at all, but I have now come to the conclusion they WILL write a review for the sole purpose of dumping on him once again. I will be EXTREMELY surprised if they are objective enough to give his album a fair review. And, if they do give him a good review it will mean that Danny’s great music is so good that it cannot be ignored! Typically though, once the media finds a whipping boy, they stick with it and rarely become objective. They also tend to find their favorites and stick with them – until the person does something outrageous – then they tear them down as quickly as they built them up. I suspect this could potentially happen with AL, if he continues to be too controversial.
I have also come to realize how much influence these large production companies and record labels can influence the media and in turn the public. I had some inkling of how they influenced the media to promote the entertainers that are signed with them. But, the extent to which they can create a star is huge! 19 and AL are a perfect example. 19 is promoting the heck out of him and it is working to the extent that Adam’s album has gone gold, and his face is all over the place. He is given TV spots that only seasoned entertainers are normally given. Obviously the more media coverage the management company can get an artist, the more fans you garner. Kris has not been given as much attention as AL, but he has had his share as the winner. His record sales currently reflect the kind of coverage he gets – good, but not as good as AL’s. His future success is going to depend solely on him being able to sell himself by putting out good music. I don’t think 19 will continue heavy promotion of him if they don’t get the sales they want. AL’s success is going to be connected for a long time with 19′s continued efforts in promoting him to make sure he becomes the star they believe he is. They seem bound and determined to force him into becoming a huge star – might work, but the jury is still out in my opinion.
Twitter: pjgvet
BTW, Bosman, that comment directed at you at 3:50 is a compliment; I mean you would be a formidable opponent
Again, late to the party!
I just watched the Kradison video, and it annoys me.
Jim Cantiello was definitely, purposely doing a “You’re the cool kids, Gokey’s a dork, let’s make fun of him” schtick.
I think Allison’s response annoyed me most of all, because I really did get the feeling before that she adored Danny. And she doesn’t even know he has a video out?
Just one more thing that I can’t let myself get worked up about…not worth it.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Josie I do see you point about the difference between Rickey and JambaJim. Jim is more about getting a laugh because that is what he does for a living. He may just be going for the big laugh and in Danny’s case he thinks he has to play to an audience who is lukewarm at best about Danny, so he figures he can go for the cheap laugh. As a result, sometimes it does fall flat or goes over the line and comes across as just being mean. Rickey on the other hand seems to be what I call a internet/media prostitute. Someone who will say anything or do anything to get attention and to get people talking. He will suck up when he thinks it’s necessary and be cruel when he thinks it helps him. He seems rather empty to me, with no real convictions nor any sense of what is appropriate.
If I were to guess, I would say Jim probably has a background thru either his education or thru previous experience, in journalism/media. Rickey on the other hand, does not come across as someone who has any real credentials in journalism/media. He seems more like a guy who started out blogging about reality shows and saw it was successful, so is continueing to do whatever it takes to keep himself in the limelight.

Hello peeps!
Quickly stopping by before going to school just to point out that the Calendar and Concerts sections have been updated.
Have a nice day!
Hehe Claudia, never even got to Kris album. I think I’ll check Kellie Pickler though.
Guys, I have hard time voting only for Danny on GAC with Kellie so hot and vulnerable in her video.
Pam, I am a regular goofball, I swear I am.
I might sound like I take things seriously, but I am just a “tiny” bit opinionated and argumentative. Yea, right.
I should have been an attorney. Instead, I am just a silly interpreter, repeating the thoughts of other people in another language. But I like it. Gives me so many insights.
With respect to Adam & Kris greatest, why was their finale one of the lowest rated of AI history?
Twitter: kiady
Erika, thank you so much!
have a nice day too!
bosman, you can vote three times for Danny and once for Kellie haha j/k
Did any of you read Slezak’s review of the Kradison concert? I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so gushingly over the top from anyone who calls themselves a journalist.
Slezak sounded like a gasping, love-struck fangirl throughout.
As far as I’m concerned, he doesn’t deserve any serious cred as a reporter. He might as well just be a fangirly blogger.
Yes, he’s a terrific writer who’s really good at painting vivid word pictures, I’ll give him that. But no reporter with any integrity would have countenanced, much less perpetuated, the toxic hate that was spewed against Danny Gokey all last AI season.
Again, completely and totally over the top. Being that hateful toward any other human being does nothing but show how dark your own soul is.
I’m sorry, I’m kind of like Bosman. I get really, really annoyed at stuff like this!
Again, I’m venting here because I know you guys will understand where I’m coming from.
As for Cantiello–I had started liking him after he supposedly did a turnaround on his attitude about Danny, and I was even following him on Twitter. But when he started snarking on Danny again, I said, you’re gone.
Twitter: pjgvet
Noooooooooooooooooooo Bosman!
Don’t go to the dark side of a pretty face!!!!!!!!! You men are soo easily manipulated
We don’t want Kellie to overtake Danny!
Twitter: pjgvet
Its ok, Cindy you are among friends and can show your angry side here
It always helps me to vent too.
I agree, Slezak and Jim are just little fangirls. Although at least Jim can be humorous- have you ever seen his alter ego Glambert6969? Hilarious!
Twitter: kiady
Pam, LOL
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Pam, but if girls vote for Danny because he’s cute, why, that’s just good judgment and perceptive discernment of his wonderful character, isn’t it.
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Cindy I also think Allison was a little annoying by acting like she wasn’t sure if Danny had a video out (which she obviously knew or she wouldn’t have brought it up!). She is immature and has proven to be based on some of the things she has said in the past, like when she told Simon “it’s not like I’m cutting myself”. Maybe she was taking her cues from Jim and could tell he was trying to make fun of Danny, so she was going along with the joke and not wanting to sound in any way like a fan of Danny. I think she might have also taken a cue from Adam who bent over laughing when Jim brought up Danny’s name. I noticed she gave Adam a look after she said the thing about the video, as if to get affirmation from him. It was like she was looking to him to see if he would say something more about the video or to see if he would laugh some more. Adam didn’t say anything so she didn’t go any further with it. I beleive Adam was the one who was most disrespectful of Danny. he was the one who got the ball rolling on all the laughter. Again, I do think all three of them were unsure of how to react to Jim after he made it clear in the tone of his voice that he thought it was hilarious that Danny wasn’t there. It kind of reminds me of how when someone tells an offensive racist or sexist joke in front of a group and nobody speaks up and there is uncomfortable laughter because everyone is unsure of how to react.
Erika, I see you have added the Sugarland concert in Columbia MD to the page for May. Yet when I visit the venue’s website, they have their concert schedule listed, but Sugarland isn’t on it anywhere, right up into August.
I don’t git it
What is up with this? 
Twitter: Upsnodowns
Cindy I can barely tolerate Slezak’s tweets because they are so gushingly over-the-top about Kradison. You are a media person, so you do know what it takes to be a professional. It does strike me that there is no reason for the kind of hatred he spewed at Danny for no apparent reason. It is one thing to not like someone’s voice and write about that, but to slam someone so personally seems beyond the pale and certainly not professional. I also think his gushing about Kradison is equally as unprofessional. He is making it clear that he has no sense of objectivity when it comes to Danny nor when it comes to Kradison. Not professional at all! I am not naive enough to believe that entertainment journalists don’t show favortism, but when it comes to the public relying on your word to help make a decision about what record to buy, tv show to watch, or movie to see, it just seems like someone like Slezak could never be relied on to judge any artist fairly because he makes it too personal. I’m convinced Danny could win 10 Grammy’s in one year and be inducted in the every possible music hall of fame and Slezak would still give him negative reviews. Adam could go out on stage and forget every other line of a song or star on Broadway and not show up for the show and Slezak would say he was wonderful!
Kradison could have been far more accommodating and witty when Danny was mentioned, but they chose not to be. Adam only laughed and I said earlier what I think Kris did. The two of them are piggybacking Allison, who is desperately seeking their approval and props.
I actually like Allison, she has the ability like Danny to simultaneously convey diametrically opposite emotions, but I think she needs to mature a bit more and be more sure of herself.
Pam, if Kellie overtakes Danny, it will not be because of me. I did not give her one single vote yet, but I do think she deserves it. That video of her is so full of life.
Carrie Underwood – absolutely not! Not! Not!
Carrie Underwood is Adam Lambert and vice versa – they both share the same extra tiny, whiny voice, especially in the high register. It is like piercing, egoistic needle. How people can enjoy that tiny, super-narrow pitch of theirs is beyond me. (This is just criticizing their voice – I do not care about them as people, it is just fascinating to me that people actually like and apparently enjoy in tiny, narrow vocals. I think it is just a reflection of their tiny soul. Such a stupid and vain waste of time.)
****Cheryl****You know, I did notice that Allison was looking at Adam for affirmation. I totally agree with you on that.
You’re also spot on about this comment:
“I’m convinced Danny could win 10 Grammy’s in one year and be inducted in the every possible music hall of fame and Slezak would still give him negative reviews. Adam could go out on stage and forget every other line of a song or star on Broadway and not show up for the show and Slezak would say he was wonderful!”
I think one entertainment reporter who actually seems to have some balance and integrity–at least as far as I’ve seen–is Brian Mansfield of USA Today’s Idol Chatter. I could be wrong, but he actually seems to be fairly even-handed. Correct me if I’m wrong about that, anyone.
Well, I’m glad all of us here have the good taste to love Danny!
Twitter: pjgvet
But Josie, yes, us women are deep; we look beyond a pretty face (or arms…..) and see the genuine person there
Kellie is a sweet girl; I was never a fan of her voice, but liked her genuine ditsy personality. I can’t imagine her every saying anything mean about anyone else.
Twitter: kiady
bosman, you can vote for Kellie but then you will have to do 10 extra votes for Danny LOL when i first heard Carrie i thought she had a tiny voice too but the more i heard it the more i learned to like it, i do like Carrie’s voice now and i do love most of her songs…
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Pam, I agree about Kellie, not a big fan of her songs but she is funny. Did you see that video of her on Ellen when she was in costume like Dolly Parton? I laughed until I cried, she was hysterical!
Cheryl, you are right about Slezak, being too personal for the work position he holds. But I actually think that he might come around regarding Danny one day, but even if that happens it will not matter any more and will not affect Danny’s career either way. I mean – how many country music lovers rely on his words… What’s done is done.
And I always say, if Adam had a Scream on, it would have been declared as pure awesomeness, a sheer interpretative genius. Of course, Adam’s vocal is way too tiny, he could never achieve such wide, fat GLOTTAL scream like Danny did. NEVER!
Claudia, I am glad you like Carrie’s voice. For me it is deeply irritating and annoying. I guess there are people who are irritated by Danny’s voice. Good for them, I say. At least his voice is not narrow and tiny.
Twitter: pjgvet
Funny you mention Dream ON. I just heard Aerosmith version-
The scream is very short and autotuned! Maybe people’s memories are just short, but it was no great shakes. I guess back in high school I must have thought it was genius, but now I just shake my head and think “Where is this classic scream that Danny got such grief about it?”. His scream was actually very good; his voice just broke in the middle of it. Just think what could have been…. He’d be fighting with Adam for attention!
He’s definitely better off.
Twitter: kiady
bosman, how can anyone be irritated by Danny’s voice?!
I guess we all seek and find different needs in music. Those who are after tiny, narrow vocals of Carrie and Adam, probably seek tinny narrow thrills and screams out of their life.
Those who aspire to see a bigger picture will not be satisfied with their narrow vocals, because they can only paint a narrow picture.
Twitter: pjgvet
Just saw that Kris will be back on Idol next Thursday during Results Show after his trip to Haiti.
I guess this will be Idol Gives Back- only one hour long? Haven’t the old Idol Gives Back been longer?
Wonder what he will sing? Certainly not LLWD would he?
Yes Pam, sometimes I think it was an “act of God” for that scream to end up like that. Because in the studio version Danny’s scream is one of the best screams I’ve ever heard.
And yes, if Danny had “nailed it” during the performance, he would be in totally different circumstances right now. He probably would not be in country genre, the place where he can be true to his heart, soul and his passions in life.
Claudia, I do remember one hater on IDF forum last summer, saying he “hated” Danny’s “fat voice.” LOL!

hi all, saw that about Kris. It seems to be a regular AI program, but maybe he will be doing a special piece for Haiti or taping a segment to air in the spring on IGB?
have to lol at bosman’s infatuation with Kris, and Kellie — though I can guess at the reason for the second one after seeing her video
Shirl, where did you see the 2010 concert list for Merriweather? I’ve been checking a bunch of sources, not found it yet.
Danny must be pleased to be able to talk about Sophia on that Lifetime show for Heart Health.

Don’t you just HATE it when you write a long post and lose it? I’m trying to get used to this new keyboard and have been deleting things left and right by accident. Grrr!
I wanted to mention that’s interesting about Jeffrey Goldford, who I was sorry didn’t make Top 24. He was pretty good. I love the way he described his sound:
Describe your sound: “If Michael McDonald beat up John Mayer then joined a gang with Marc Broussard and Gavin DeGraw, that’s how I sound.”
It’s also interesting he’s Jewish, because of all the S8 idols, Danny seems to have the broadest fanbase in terms of diversity of fans. I’ve seen Danny fans from every religion, gender, sexual orientation, age bracket, and race. Danny has fans who are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, agnostic, and even a Wiccan; male, female, gay, straight, and bi; black, white, Hispanic, Asian; they span all age brackets from young preteens to 60+ baby boomers; educated and not so educated; conservative, liberal, and everything in between; his fans also span the globe–he has American fans, Canadian fans, fans from the Phillippines, Finland, Estonia, China, and many other countries. Whew!
I’ve never seen any idol from any season with so much diversity in their fanbase–we are all different but united in our love for Danny.
I just saw that Danny will be having an instore appearance in Best Buy in Atlanta, Georgia, the day his album comes out.
I saw on Itunes that Luke Bryan has a 3 song EP that is also coming out March 2, in addition to Danny’s CD, Blake Shelton’s CD and Easton Corbin’s CD. Luke is selling his EP for really cheap on Itunes (#2.49)
I had also saw the information about Kris being back on February 27.

Is anyone else watching the rest of the Top 24 reveal tonight on Idol. I like that Janell made it through, I like her.
Danny’s got a nice amount of traffic on his site again right now there are currently 93 people online on his site. I have noticed that some of the times his site gets a boost in people online is when Idol is on. I wonder if there is a connection there?
Actually, Bosman, you would have made a good trial attorney. You think on your feet and go for the jugular. (I can say that. I am an attorney. But not a trial attorney!
)
BTW, I have invented a new phrase, “the Bosman vibe,” to describe singers who voices (either generally or on a particular song) move me on a visceral level.
Hey! Just scrolling and reading through all of the post so far while watching Idol.
steph- I saw that blog on “Philly Blurb” or something. Didn’t think it was that bad, just lame b/c he mentioned VFTW and it was obiviously the basis of that article I guess. Appreciated the supporting comments for Danny, as always
I lost my train of thought as I’m posting this b/c I’m watching “Idol” at the same time. If anyone hadn’t heard of Angela Martin, the judges didn’t put her through. That was one of the most emotional cuts ever

Interesting excerpt from the new issue of Country Aircheck:
Having just returned to radio from record
promotion, KBWF/San Francisco PD Mike
Krinik understands the dilemma. “There has to
be some uniformity,” he says. “Labels have to
release one single and work it through. If you
throw three out there you could have different
parts of the country playing different songs. It
would be more difficult to get a song up the chart
“Of course, I chuckle a little as I say that because I [strayed
from label-appointed singles] in Scranton and am doing a little
bit of that now. I thought the Gloriana single was very average,
so I looked into the project, found another single and went with
that. And I put it right into medium. If a PD wants to tinker like
that, the first thing they have to do is put their money where
their mouth is – commit to it. If this works and I generate sales,
I’m the guinea pig for another story the label can tell.”
I do wonder once Danny’s album is released if we will see different songs getting played at those station who are only lukewarm to MBD, from the reaction we have seen I believe some will give Tiny life or Will not say Goodbye favored status.

173 online now at Danny’s official site.
And I’m off to watch my DVR’d Idol episode!

Hopefully some of the increased traffic to Danny’s site may be from those ads that are now running?
If you click on them, I think they take you to the streaming preview site with the link to the OS to buy the album.

Pam and FOGS, I hope they don’t want to talk to each other much! (see my last post above). It irritates me because I and I know others have tried to go there to help gear it up with fan activity, and his own people aren’t taking care of his stuff. Don’t like that.

I think that the increased traffic might be due to Idol. I have noticed that the last couple of nights, Danny gets a nice increase in traffic when Idol is on.
The ads might help a little, but I don’t think the ads are causing that many people to visit his site on one time like that, and normally around the same time.
Last night when Idol was on Danny had 211 people on his site, tonight it’s 173. The traffic isn’t that high other times during the day. The only other times I saw it get a nice boost in visitors, was when the clip of his video was shown on E, and when Ryan mentioned him last week during Idol.
I forgot to mention in my last post, that Danny has had a couple of big increases on his site after he made big annoucements like when he mentioned that the site had officially launched.

FOGS, I didn’t mean it would explain it all, or even most of it. But I hope the ads work as they will help with iDanny’s sales. There were close to 100 people at that site when I looked this afternoon, hours before AI came on, so maybe a little anyway.
Dani P, thanks for that info from the chart. So by that chart even though Danny was 41 right behind Gretchen, if I’m reading it correctly he still increased in points, spins and audience impression from the week before?
Now there is 253 people online on Danny’s site.

Wow, 253 people on Danny’s official site.
Can anyone tell me what was shown on that E news broadcast earlier this week? I got the impression it was just a clip of MBD’s video.
Glad the MTV Kradisson stuff is in the past. But it SURE got all of us back into fighting mood for Danny. I’m curious what his take was on it. Are we upset over something he would have just shrugged over?
I’m glad MBD is still in the top 40. jan

The ads could be helping some along with Idol. I have noticed that just about every time, he has a nice amount of traffic on his site his album sales go up on Itunes.
There have been at least a few times where he has fallen off the 200 albums chart on Itunes, and then gets back up on that chart after the traffic on his site increases.
Twitter: steph6449
Jan, I saw the E piece. They came back from commercial showing a piece of the MBD video, and then Ryan briefly id’ed it as Danny Gokey. So nothing lengthy but still nice for Danny. Definitely saw on twitter that people noticed it.
Jan
A short clip of Danny’s video was shown on E-news and all Ryan said regarding it, was “Danny Gokey, My Best Days”. He didn’t even mention Danny that Danny has an album coming out. He just said those lines after a short clip of Danny’s video was shown. But traffic did increase on Danny’s site after that was shown on E news.
Have a question for anyone who can answer it:
I remember someone posting something on one of the AI9 top 24 contestants, Toddrick Hall, think that’s his last name, about him preparing a musical for kids at some dance studio in Nashville and at other dance studios in the country and it never happened b/c he and whoever worked w/him on it canceled the show before the rehearsals happened and ended up taking the money that the parents of kids paid for them to be in it, etc.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Kind of confused about it *shrugs*
Danielle
I do remember a story like that about Toddrick being posted on mjs blog. I am not sure what all the details are behind that story, but I do remember some people not being happy about it.
Now there is close to 300 people, 296 on Danny’s official site right now.

Steph I beleive how you are reading the chart is correct insomuch as while Gretchen finished ahead of Danny she lost a good amount of AI(audience impressions. Unfortunately the formatting didn’t hold so it’s a little hard to read.
Everyone one please forgive my obseesion with charts but I am addicted to numbers..
Twitter: jannworth
And Danip, we appreciate your following the charts for us!!
Twitter: jannworth
Wow, its amazing that each of us 20 Danny fans have created 15 separate idenities so that DOS could have 300 fans on it right now…..
FOGS- that’s what it was! Okay, I do remember mj’s having something to do w/it. Thanks
Reason why I asked is b/c Fox 17 in Nashville just did a piece on it and they interviewed a dance studio in Nashville about it and some of the parents and they weren’t too happy about it. They even said that they wouldn’t vote for him next week. Hmmm…interesting to see how that turns out.
Kinda OT: Still cold and windy here in Florida but went for a walk after dinner with hubby tonight to check out some shops in a tourist area, St. Armands Circle. Island off the mainland are known as “keys” and we are actually on Lido Key. This particular upscale gift shop had some really neat stuff, one of the items being these unusual metal and glass squares, 6X6, each one a letter of the alphabet. The rather large display had used one letter to spell out LIDO KEY on a big shelf. I decided to be a little creative. Left the KEY there, exchanged the L, and I for a G, then added the O = GOKEY. Kept the D and added another G = DG GOKEY. Looked really nice and stood out on the display, wish I’d had a camera. If it hadn’t been for the 2 glasses of wine I had with my meal, I probably wouldn’t have had the nerve to do such a thing…..
lol Jan. I am glad to see that new people are finding Danny’s site. And pre-ordering his album as well. His number went up again to 320 people online on his official site, that is nice to see.
Danielle,
I had heard that parents were upset with Toddrick because of that. And I have noticed that some people already don’t like him and think he’s cocky. I think that he might get some hate this year, because of these things. I definitely wonder how things are going to turn out for him.
OOPS! ***kept the D and exchanged the I for a “J”! DJGOKEY

Interesting article about the 12 guys and 12 girls who made it through on AI9. I didn’t really pick up on who was in the final group shot so not sure what this is all about. But we finally have a credible list of who made it and who went home.

Hello Everyone!Shirl that awesome what you did too bad you didn’t have a camera to take a picture. Hannele I love the new picture of your rhino. Claudia glad to hear you are feeling better and your dedication to get Danny played on Portugal radio stations is amazing. Last night you all got my curiosity about the JM interview with the threesome and I ventured out of this beautiful site I now wish I had not gone there but I did. All I can think about is how Danny is so much more mature than they are and he makes me proud to be his fan. I watched Idol tonight and I must say Andrew at the very end made me cry, what he was saying was so heartfelt and I lost it when he was talking to his father. I do seriously think that this will be a girl year so many big voices.
Tim Urban was a last minute replacement for Chris Golightly–that’s why Tim was never shown getting through–because he didn’t! No one’s sure what happened with Chris (he was the curly haired orphan).
I thought Andrew’s reaction was precious. I felt so sad for poor Angela Martin.

Dani-
Thanks for that chart update! Wonder if Danny will pass Gretchen soon. So he is now up 58 spins; great. Slow and steady! It would be so nice if he could eek up to #40 by the end of the week.
Interesting article, Jan. I certainly hope DJ’s don’t start playing his other songs. MBD needs to make it up the charts as far as possible to generate good sales; and to pave the way for his next single (look at what Do I did for the dumb corn song for Luke Bryan) to climb easier.
So you have been really busy, Jan creating all those IDS-lol.
Josie, glad to see that even the slacker web guy Wyatt is not keeping fans from Danny’s site.
I kind of like Todrick, he has a big personality. Too bad he made a bad decision ; may cause him problems.

R-squared, thank you for posting the link. I don’t think I’ve seen you here before so welcome to iheart!
That interview was for the MTV younger generation. The “interviewer” asked questions and made observations that the viewership could relate to. His questions were immature and his observations were shallow. Danny is a much deeper person and has life experiences to back it up. MTV isn’t a place to be real, it’s where you go to see plastic people and talk about subjects that in the scheme of things, really don’t matter.
Danny is a real person that has real passion for helping othere less fortunate. I don’t think the MTV demographic is into this concept, or maybe they are I just haven’t heard about it.
On a personal note, all my Gokey friends are busy performing or out of town this weekend. Rats, I’ll have to go alone; it’s been forever since I’ve been in a crowded bar alone!
Goodnight everybody
Just checking to see if anyone’s still on. Think that I’m gonna call it a night, too,pretty soon.
Well, I’m out. Hoping to hear what Danny’s up to tomorrow w/the tour and everything else. Love that man forever and always
<3 Deuces
