The parade of TV reality star openers started with former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey. Gokey’s soulful voice soared on his own original songs during his 20 minute set. Songs like “Be Somebody,” “I Will Not Say Goodbye” written in honor of his wife who passed away just a few weeks before his Idol audition, and his single “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” were technically sound and more soulful than his dull cover of Rascal Flatt’s “What Hurts The Most.”
Awww, we love What Hurts the Most — but overall a great response for one of Danny’s first shows out with Sugarland.

I liked Danny’s cover of “What Hurts The Most” from the videos from Salt Lake City, and I could certainly never refer to it as dull, but I guess it’s a matter of opinion. I thought Danny did a really great job with all of his songs–as usual! I’m really glad that he’s getting a good response out on the road with Sugarland so far.
