Good Morning all. Well, I did watch some idol last night. As usual some groups were good and some bad. As of right now, I believe there are some talented female singers. I remember Ryan Seacrest saying he thought this year it favored the women. I saw at least one Milwauukee person go home. It really is amazing what Danny accomplished when he was on idol. I guess seeing all those people compete made me realize how difficult it is to move on in each round. I’m glad Danny is performing at a couple concerts this weekend. Have fun whoever is going from here. well, off to work. Have a good Thursday everyone.

Morning
Ok Danny, I have let the vibes marinate,vegetate and bake into the psychic casserole (hey sometime the way to a man is through the stomach
)
Need News NOW!!!
hi Paula.
TTYL
Bring over news from last night
After eliminating roughly half of the 327 contestants the first two days of Hollywood Week, “American Idol” is back with the dreaded Group Day, which is one of our favorite parts of the entire show. There are always so many tears and meltdowns,∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→∝╬══→ but there are also some amazing performances that come out of it — remember Danny Gokey and Jamar Rogers group from two years ago? I still remember how good they were.┈━═☆┈━═☆┈━═☆┈━═☆┈━═☆┈━═☆┈━═☆

Darla.I said in the pictures section.I just wanna say thank you for the beautiful photos.They are really good especially I know they are mostly taken in night.

Good morning, Danip and Paula and all ihearts.
C’mon Danny spill us some news!!!
A belated birthday greetings for Lori
Have a great day everyone!!!
Good morning early birds!
I love checking in here in the mornings and “seeing” the regulars here (but I do miss Mr. Bing and others that we haven’t heard from lately).
I read this on twitter…possibly Danny sighting in CT already?
asics717. MrBing havent posted much on our site due to Internet issue.I guess he will be active again when he solve the problem.
Twitter: BLfolsom
good morning all, I finally got to sleep last night
I’m off to the gym, will check back with you all later.
Thanks xlgokey….hope he gets the problem solved soon because we miss him here!
Twitter: VickieCarol
Hi Paula, Danip, XLGokey, Des, Asics and Billie,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Lori, I see you celebrated a birthday yesterday. Hope it was a fun day for you.
Paula, XLGokey, Mr. Bing, Yes, those group auditions are brutal. It’s so easy to get cut if you are having a bad day and are off key, or just didn’t “Bring It”. So, happy that Danny blew them away, on that audition, during their group day.
Great way to entice Danny into giving us some news, Danip. Keep ‘em comin’.
XLGokey, Tell Mr. Bing we miss him. Hope he gets back online soon too.
Twitter: pjgvet
Good morning!
It’s warm in Milgokey, snow is melting. Asics, you’d be proud- it was 40 degrees in Port yesterday so I ran outside. Was a little chilly though.
Interesting tweet! Wonder what AMC is and why Danny is in CT so early
And more importantly, is Fozzy with?
Twitter: jannworth
While I love hearingabout Fozzy, If Danny is already on theEast Coast–I hope it is for promotion! Danny break some news please!
Twitter: BLfolsom
After watching group day on AI last night I stayed up late watching all the videos Steph sent me with Danny in them. I forgot how much the judges loved him, even when they said he didn’t do his best.
It maybe too soon to know the news of new single since it wont released untill march.
I think Danny likes to keep us all in suspense
About Idol man what a pressure cooker those guys are in right now. Have a great Thursday everyone. Hope we hear something soon.
So we can all
again.
Twitter: Springtweet
Pam, I do hope Fozzy is with Danny. I worry about him being
So young. Danny did say he wanted a pup that could travel!
Maybe AMC11 is the theater there?
Twitter: DGdes
Billie, I love watching Danny on AI vids too, yes the judges love him, they always have nice things to say about his voice, who would’nt have?
So proud of him!!!
Twitter: DGdes
Oh no, Brandon’s song made me cry
It was a beautiful song, and a funny one too, but it made me think of my husband who’s away and how much I miss him. 
Well I guess it’s my hormones taking over…
But I think that song should be recorded, Brandon is so clever!
Hi everyone….just checking back in! It’s quiet here today….
I read this on twitter from a Danny fan….from the way it is worded my guess is it is a response to an answer from Danny (probably a DM) to this person’s earlier question to him about what breed Fozzy is:
Isn’t that what Pam and her husband had said they thought he was too….with the warning that chows can be a handful?
xlgokey,
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. The shows were really during the day, but the lighting in the room was very tricky. I could use some good classes on how to negotiate around that light. I knew nothing I took was amazing this time, but some were cute anyway. Pictures make me happy for sure, and since I was able to take that nice blue shirt home with me, those from the first show make me even happier.
Hi Darla!
I love your pictures from the cruise….but then I ALWAYS love your pictures
You are a very talented photographer….I think Danny’s team should hire you!
I was checking the sites for Danny’s two shows this weekend, and saw that the one in MD is sold out! Yeah….hope we have some ihearties there so we can hear all about it and maybe get pictures and videos too
hello ihearties,
the puppy breed question is answered here:
http://www.lauriedeyoung.com/common/local.html?feed=385977&article=8186922
Thanks Lori! Great interview….thanks for finding it and bringing it to us!
I have a chow mix dog and they hve tons of hair with purple tongue…this is not a chow mix dog…
I listened to the interview and cant figure it out what he said.So what breed Fozzy is?
Twitter: steph6449
Haven’t finished listening to that interview but I’ll post it in a bit. Only fair since it’s my local station
Cute tweets about interviewing Danny tomorrow….we’ll have to watch for it!
Darla.Thank you for the explanation.Yeah now I remember .I read the recaps.The first show which was 4 pm and rearranged.
Twitter: pjgvet
Yes Asics Randy and I both thought Fozzy was a Chow mix. And yes, they are a handful! As witnessed by Fozzies “adult” behavior. At his age, that is more about dominance. That is why I said he will be needing a lot of guidance from Danny lol! Hopefully Danny won’t be a pushover. We know he is not
Yes, the Annapolis show was sold out a while ago; interesting small venue- its only about 300 capacity perhaps?
Aw Des, sorry your hormones made you sad
Thanks for that interview Lori! Good find.
I checked that person’s twitter, I think AMC might be some sort of business conference?
MBD is $12.48 at Amazon. (It has been $10 (something) for quite a while.)
asics717.That’s kind of funny.But I thought interviewing an idol current or former one is supposed to be hard.LOL
Twitter: tonicny
Asics17 just in case you want to know and you have not yet googled, from your morning post about a tweet that someone thought they saw Danny while they were going to AMCI general session. AMCI stands for Association Management Companies Institute I believe there could be a convention of sorts going on at the Mohegan Sun Casino.
I have been there before and its a fairly large casino and not too far there is the Pequot Museum. The casino is on an Indian reservation in CT. From the looks of it the Wolf Den is limited capacity. Rascall Flatts will also be performing tomorrow night at one of their other concert venue.
Darla, I love your pictures and that is why I wasn’t totally upset that mine came out all blurry because I knew I could count on you to take awesome pictures.
Tomorrow night I will sneak in a question about the single but I expect my answer will be “soon”.
Do you really think Danny is bringing Fozzy on his trips already?, I am not so sure at this young age…
Have a Goodnight!
Twitter: .
So I hope you Dance was ne of the solo songs tonight on IDOL and it did not go well for the contestants
Twitter: steph6449
asics, who was the interviewer tweeting? I can probably find it, but maybe we could suggest some questions, lol.
.
A while ago at mj’s, some of the fans of other AI peeps were talking about the Wolf Den. They said it has limited dedicated seating, but it faces out into an open area where a lot more people can see the shows, and also that the performers can be heard throughout the casino. One of them estimated that a thousand or more people potentially could be the effective audience size.
The Rams Head is small though.
xlgokey, he says it at the very beginning of the interview.
Pam, thanks, but I can’t take all the credit. A friend found it. I merely shared the link.
Twitter: .
Toni
I took my 6 week puppy on a six hour drive to a business trip and he held up well, better than I did trying to keep up with him
. He was the hit and I had to keep tabs on him to keep someone from leaving with him ..of course I didn’t have people like Danny has traveling with me. 
Thanks Toni!
I agree that we can always count on Darla to bring us great pictures of Danny! Are you going to Mohegan Sun concert tomorrow? If so, you will have to let us know if Danny has Fozzy with him on the trip….and maybe get a video or picture of him for us too

I have a feeling this weekend shows will be awesome as Danny had had a lot of time off and he will be full of energy and excited to be performing again
Sure wish I was able to go!!
Steph,
She was tweeting about herself….her name is @ginascarpa
Twitter: pjgvet
Steph-
Gina Scarpa
Seems like a blogger perhaps, not a professional from her Twitter?
Wolf Den sounds like a good venue, especially if some of those Rascal Flatts stop in and see Danny before they go to their assigned seats for RF
Lori.Then chow chow mix it is
Twitter: pjgvet
I see Danny’s new label mate Bush Hawg is playing the Wolf Den also on March 23
Argh! Hit send too quick…wanted to add her bio says “Reality TV Writer” with a link to RealityWanted .com
OK…one more time
http://www.realitywanted.com/
Pam,
Bush Hawg
Who is that 
Twitter: pjgvet
Asics, someone at MJs said RCA Nashville (Danny’s label) signed Bush Hawg, which is a band. So they are back up to 5; Sara Evans, Danny, Jake Owen, Chris Young and Bush Hawg.
Twitter: tonicny
I will be there and I hope to do a better job with my pictures but chances are I will do with more videos. I believe there are quite a few of the twitter fans going and all 4 of us that got the serenade on the cruise. I learned of a fan of Danny’s that will also be there tomorrow night who lives probably minutes from where I live so I am going to be looking for her at the M&G.
I am bringing a friend that I have known since high school and which I had lost contact with and so last week thru the wonders of facebook we found each other again and she is joining me on this Gokey adventure and without even knowing of him she is so excited to be coming to CT. She did go listen to his songs on my YT account and is so looking forward to hearing him live.
Danny, we will get there one heart at a time.!
Danip, cute story, I have never owned a dog. I have a cat who I have had for 12 years our very first pet.
Toni….videos sound wonderful
Thank you in advance!
Thanks Pam…I hadn’t heard about RCA signing a new band…interesting name
Dannys dog is not a chow mix-no purple tongue and no hair…Chows have purple tongues and lots of hair…
Twitter: steph6449
welcome new poster JB, and also Laura who left a comment on the SHF video post
Twitter: steph6449
or actually, JB – are you changing your user name from Janet? That’s fine, it just helps to know as the posts will go in moderation if there is a change our system hasn’t seen before
tony.I look to you
welcome Laura
asics717 and tonicny,
Sorry I just saw your posts but gad you like the pics too. I had to laugh when you said your pics were blurry tonicny, because mine are too! I am going to blame the ship swaying…but I know that is probably not the reason at all. We were just having too much fun. Anxious to hear how the show is tomorrow…I will be looking for your review.
Twitter: pjgvet
JB, actually- the way genetics work is that Danny’s dog can be a chow mix even though it doesn’t have a purple tongue and isn’t as fuzzy as a chow (there are actually similarities in the haircoat that I can see).
That is why some dogs look nothing like the two breeds they are derived from and why some children don’t look a lot like either parent.
Because of blood testing for pets we are seeing a lot of interesting combinations you would never guess
Twitter: .
The thing with mix breeds is they can carry the characteristics of all of their heritage and none of the physical attributes. It iis quite possible that every puppy in that litter looks like a different breed.
Another set of dogs that I owned (I have had 9) were full brothers from the same litter, one looked like a shepherd the other very wirehaired. Only thing they had in common was they were huge 110lbs
Twitter: .
Or what Pam said
then pure dog has no such confusion,lol.
Hi everyone
Thanks, Danip, for making the valiant effort at trying to get Danny to spill some single news. I see he is still stalling and making us wait.
Come on Danny! Spill!
That was a cute interview at WPOC (nice pic on the post, too. Thanks Steph
) Too bad that interviewer didn’t ask about the single for us. Hmmm.
Darla – loved your cruise pics! You always get some really candid angles
. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Happy belated birthday Lori!

See what happens when I miss a couple days. So much to catch up on, lol.
Oh, and welcome to Laura and JB! And anyone else I missed!
Twitter: steph6449
Danip & Pam, you are too funny with the dog analysis
.
I published the page with Fozzy’s playmates who have sent in their photos so far. Still waiting on Nina though, I hope she cooperates for Erika to send us a portrait
Any other playmates (
& more), please send in your photos to Erika & me.
Twitter: steph6449
Ahh. Happy Justin is with the band for this trip.
Awww, such cute friends for Fozzy.
I’m going to have to find a good pic of my Bella so she can join the fun. 
Twitter: jannworth
Hi everybody!
I enjoyed American Idol tonight–but what’s with people not being able to remember the words to “I hope you Dance”. It really shows how together you have to be to make it through. Danny did great considering the amount of stress he was already under. I can’t imagine. Of course he could always rely on that great voice of his…
Toni have fun this weekend? I wonder if you’ll get the news on the single? He didn’t leak it in the interviews, unfortunately. Give Danny a hug for Ed and I…
Danny really has an open schedule after this weekend. I wonder if its for a radio tour?
milgokey fan, thank you for the belated birthday wish.
since Feb is the shortest months, I’ve decided I’m celebrating my bday all month and will be taking all wishes until Feb 28. 
Twitter: pjgvet
Danip, 110#
No wonder you want a medium sized one this time! I knew you had horses, but didn’t realize your dogs almost qualified 
Steph, where can we see the pets- Fozzy’s friends? I didn’t see them on ihrtfozzy or on new posts?
Twitter: jannworth
Erika (or was it Steph?) its cool that you can tweet out from Fozzy’s ihrtfozzy page. I’m guessing that is going to get Danny’s attention…..
Twitter: jannworth
Pam, on Fozzy’s page there is a red colored Friends 4 Fozzy link.
Twitter: steph6449
The Friends 4 Fozzy page is a tab under the I <3 Fozzy page.
Hopefully it is set up ok. I had to figure out how to add it to the menu
But I think I got it. (sssh, don’t tell Erika I published the page while she wasn’t looking
)
Twitter: steph6449
Jan, I’d deny it was me except after all the tweets I messed up
everyone would know it wasn’t Erika. Apologies to anyone who saw them all 
Sometimes I do something too fast, or just make dumb mistakes when I’m tired
Twitter: pjgvet
Thanks Jan! I didn’t see it at first.
Aw everyone’s friends look so cute

Did everyone see Cheryl’s photoshop?
http://twitpic.com/40x53h
Twitter: pjgvet
Steph, I didn’t see any mistakes.
I’m sure Fozzie and Danny both love @ihrtfozzy as much as we do.
Twitter: steph6449
Bella
has joined the playmate group for Fozzy
Steph, no apologies needed here after all the hard work you have put in at iheart and the dedication you have to supporting Danny
Pam that pic by Cheryl is so clever! Has someone tweeted it to Danny yet?
I noticed in his interview with WPOC he sounded very pleased that his pup is so popular with his fans
Thanks Steph
You’re really fast! I can’t imagine you ever making a mistake 
I forgot to mention before how much I liked Brandon’s song on the cruise. So funny! Do you suppose Danny will ever sing it? Or maybe they can come up with a funny song just for Danny. Maybe they could write a song about Fozzy and the crazy adventures of a puppy.
Twitter: .
Pam I think I just grew them big
hey the Irish setter came in at about 90lbs, must have been that country air , yet they all thought they were lap dogs. We got Freebie (picture soon) the cattle dog mix because we wanted a dog that could ride in the car with out us getting out.
Danny better come up with some news soon cause I’m running out of dog stories and you guys are going to be forced to listen to horse ones
if we don’t get something music related soon.
On that front it looks like david A may be the next label casualty
Twitter: steph6449
Maybe that could combine with your idea with Cherie about a pedicure song. Fozzy sings about getting a pedicure?
Steph,
Well, Fozzy may turn out to be a singer, you know, living with Danny and all. Maybe Fozzy will sing while he’s having his nails trimmed. That wouldn’t be too unusual for a dog, would it? lol
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Hi peeps! I can just imagine Danny teaching Fozzy to “sing” with him – that would be adorable!
Great pics Darla, and I know there are some new videos that I haven’t had a chance to watch yet too. Long days this week, I am glad tomorrow is Friday.
To everyone going to the shows this weekend, you are the lucky ones!
Dannys dog will be loved no matter what kind it is and it is a beatufiul dog…the people on idol cant hold a candle to Danny…
Hi Josie! Yes, TGIF – tomorrow. Finally.
Danip – I’d love to hear some of your horse stories while we wait
Twitter: steph6449
I just put up a post with a new concert. Danny will be in Colorado on July 2nd for a rodeo event.
He has an opening act, Gwen Sebastian. I think I’ve heard her name before but don’t know much about her.

Some very nice photos from the Opry with the SH choir at Danny’s official FB page. I shared the link at our iheart FB page.

Elaine A’s boys, Rocky & Apollo, have joined the Fozzy friend page. Nice to have a masculine touch now and then…

Lurker, why the
?
.
Eek. CMT Pure has a show on with Taylor Swift singing live with just acoustic backup.

Twitter: steph6449
Taylor Swift singing live on tv should come with one of those warning labels
Steph,
Just putting in “my two cents worth” to add to the conversation.
Twitter: BLfolsom
Evening all, I just popped on to wish you a good night. Got home from work and watched CSI, I’ll have to watch AI tomorrow night. Sleep tight
