OK I think this is the first for me being first to post. Good Morning and Happy Final Day of Voting!
I fell asleep last night sooner than I wanted to and woke up earlier, I already voted for 1 hour and the site worked so fast, we are really close to the 100K lead such a great job everyone that stayed up all night and all the International fans. I guess we will probably reach my prediction total much earlier, I am now going to say we might be closer to getting to 1.4 MIL or more votes by midnight. Final Day, GO TEAM GO!
I have to leave the house in about 1 hour so I will join you again early this afternoon.
VC I love your dedication!
For everyone
Twitter: tonicny
Must also comment on what a beautiful picture above on the discussion page, I like the expression on Danny’s face. Bye
Hello everybody! Finally had time to sit down and go through all the news.
It’s been unbelievable how so many of you have dedicated a lot of time for the voting process. You are amazing!
It warms my heart to see how much Danny loves animals, dogs in particular. Hopefully we’ll hear more about this rescued dog and if she is really lucky maybe Danny will give her permanent home.
I would love to hear Danny sing the NA.It’s been some time since the last time. Hopefully tehy’ll post a video of today’s performance.
Enjoy your day and hopefully SHF will win.
Good Morning all. I just did some voting- awesome lead
! I think we have a great chance to pull this off. I will be voting as much as possible all day. I still noticed the double vision on the captchas. Lord knows my eyesight isn’t that great as it is. Have a great Saturday everyone and let’s bring it home for Danny 
.
Good morning Toni and Hannelle!
I am up and voting too before I have to go out for a while this morning
I was so amazed to see SH had a 100,00+ lead when I checked a little bit ago….you overnight/international fans ROCK
I am planning to vote most of today, and of course I will be there for the celebration at the finish line
I also have my
for a video of today’s NA….
I agree Toni…great picture for today’s discussion thread
Hi Paula!
You snuck in while I was posting
Danny’s tweet:
Guess who will be there for that….
Couple tweets about the NA:
Another tweet about NA (this person is there and took the pic) can’t see Danny but shows the huge “captive” audience:

Hannele .Long time no see.Hope you well.
To all voters

This one has a photo of Danny
ETA: Jimmy O in that picture seems to be Jimmy Olander with Diamond Rio. Looks like they are sponsoring a team today.
http://www.diamondrio.com/jimmy.html
Thanks for the picture!
This one by the same person includes the mayor of Nashville and Danny too:
http://yfrog.com/z/h8h2pljj
I am so excited to hear Danny is going to run a marathon next year! Running in one for charity is a wonderful way to raise money for SH!!
Twitter: steph6449
This is just a reminder as Kathy requested, for anyone who would wish, you can vote for a charity being sponsored by Jan’s daughter Leah here
http://www.wizehive.com/voting/sbcc/210
Leah’s charity is Common Cause Family Center, and supports families dealing with autism. They are in second place right now. You can vote 5x/24 hours from any ip you have.

Good morning Toni, Asics, Steph, Paula, Mr. Bing, Hannele and all of our hidden ihearties!
I ran to my phone to check WSB this morning and was thrilled we had a 103,000 lead! Now we are up to 105,000! Unfortunately, the blurry Captchas were back for me, but hey, only 15.5 hours to go to claiming a prize for Sophia’s Heart!
And maybe this time, Danny won’t come in 3rd….
Twitter: DGdes
Good morning!
Kids are sleeping and Im ready to ROCK the VOTE!!!
Aww, Jan Danny just replied on your tweet!!
This is funny–using Danny’s name to try to get votes for a team against him!
Twitter: jannworth
Awww…..that’s really cool (that Danny replied). I hope it helps us get those votes sailing towards Sophias Heart!
That’s too funny that St. Romans is trying to get Danny fans to vote for them instead….
Twitter: steph6449
Lurker, that person has an account that they only use to tweet hate at Danny and his fans
I saw that tweet but thought she deleted it, wasn’t on her profile. I don’t think she has anything to do with St. R’s. More a holdover with animosity from S8. If you look at her twitter profile, you can see she visits mj’s
Twitter: VickieCarol
Morning Voting Troops,
Wow, the overnight troops have really given us an amazing lead! I knew that they would get us to a 100,000 vote lead. Way to go!!!
What a sweet picture of Danny on the discussion page. Awww Just wanna
him.
Thanks for the pictures Asics and Steph.
Shame on that person who tweeted that about voting for the Romans using Danny’s name.
Jan, that’s so
that Danny retweeted your tweet and replied to it. 
Now time to do some voting.
Twitter: steph6449
that person has like 10 followers, probably drinking the same haterade as she does
Good morning everyone
The final day has finally arrived! I know we will finish strong
So happy to see the 100k+ lead the overnighters/internationals have given us this morning. 
Thanks for the early morning pics of Danny at the race. I sure hope some video shows up, too.
Greedy? Me? Well, when it comes to Danny…
Less than 15 voting hours to go
Steph,
The hater tweet will probably not hurt Danny. Some haters keep trying, but they are not as active as they were.
Maybe people who read the tweet–except for her ten followers–might notice only the good part:
Twitter: VickieCarol
Yeah, I’m looking forward to that finish line too, with the big jackpot going to Sophia’s Heart. We can do it!!!
Hi ! How Are you all doing ?
dunno what to say , just got 2 dms from danny and i am really happy , it isnt my first time thou but it feels Sweeet *___* <3 lol
Twitter: VickieCarol
That’s Great BreathDanny !!!
Can you share what he said?
VickieCarol:
.. and i was like errrrrrr Only HI ?? XD i thought you’d say something els lol anyway dunno what happend 2 my dms and the dm was gone , i thought danny deleted his massege and that was why i couldnt find it on my dms , so i was like ( you really deleted the dm thats way i cant see it =/ ) and he sent me again sayin that it’s really impossible for him to delete the dms he sends to his fans .. awww how sweet he keeps them for the memories i guess XD lol .. anyway it turned out that my ipad went crazy n it wasnt danny’s mistake .. XD
sure! it was funny thou hehe , i was telling him that i havent met him yet coz i live far across over seas so he Just said Hi
Twitter: steph6449
I set up a new post for our last push on the Voting for WSB.
Sophia’s Heart will be tweeting/etc and giving out more prizes off and on throughout the day
Voting Party starts in half an hour
We just passed 1,350,000 votes!
Twitter: VickieCarol
Oh, that’s cute, BreathDanny. I’m glad that he DMed you back after you lost the first one. He is such a sweetie
Awesome, Steph
Twitter: VickieCarol
I wonder what the top number of votes were last year for their winner of this WSB contest. Also, wonder who was the winner last year.
Twitter: steph6449
VickieCarol, that’s a good question. I also wondered how much money they gave away last year. The $90K this year seems to match their 90th anniversary. Maybe last year it was not as much?
For those voting
, please move the discussion to the voting party page 
Twitter: VickieCarol
Steph,
I know that I’m hopeless, but can you post the link?
Twitter: VickieCarol
Ok, I’ve got it.

Afternoon All
Great to see we have a big lead
Did n`t get home last night from party until late, and then could n`t get in my house, Had to call someone, But finally got in
And voted for about a hour before going to bed
I Will be voting today off and on as much as I can
Twitter: VickieCarol
Hi Mary,
Sorry that you got locked out last night. Thanks for voting when you finally got into the house. That’s the sign of a dedicated Danny fan.
Twitter: steph6449
If anyone wants some revenge on Michael Slezak you can vote for Danny in this poll and leave a pro-Danny comment, lol. Looks like one of those polls that doesn’t mean anything except for them to get blog hits, but where you can vote as often as you like.
http://www.tvline.com/2011/04/archuleta-aiken-gokey-hicks-american-idol-greatest-performance-tourney/
Twitter: VickieCarol
Steph,
Alex Lambert has more votes? Who is AL? Whoever he is, he didn’t have a better performance than Danny.
VickieCarol
Thanks I enjoy doing it, for a great cause and for Danny
Twitter: jevjos
Thanks for that one Steph it looks like Alex is going to win it over Danny. I don’t think it’s unlimited though.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Looks like you can only vote once per IP address on that Slezak poll. I still can’t stand that guy. Here is the comment I left:
Yeah, I agree it’s weird to see Danny Gokey’s name paired with Alex Lambert. I’m used to seeing Danny’s name paired with people he appears with like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban. And Taylor Swift this summer. I had forgotten about Alex Lambert but hope the kid is doing well.
Twitter: steph6449
On the tvline poll, I thought if you clicked return to poll you can vote again. Not sure it’s worth too much effort though, but would be kind of funny if Danny would win it
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Steph, it let me vote again but said “Thank you we have already counted your vote”.
I hope people will take a minute to vote on it b/c those Alex Lambert fans are being so nasty and I don’t like them.
Twitter: VickieCarol
I voted on the poll for Danny too.
Those people should just grow up, Josie.
That doesn’t shine a very good light on their artist, AL, does it?
Afternoon everyone. I did some voting on both polls. I believe we are going to win this contest. I’m so excited
. Wow, I don’t remember Alex lambert. Someone should ask Slezak where is Alex Lambert now. I don’t hear anything about him. I really wonder who is doing the voting! I realize it’s catty, but c’mon, Danny is uber talented compared to Alex Lambert.
Twitter: steph6449
There are some pretty rabid Alex Lambert fans, I think. They have been tweeting about the poll and voting. Last I heard, he was in LA on a development deal with 19. (I only know that as there were some posts at mj’s, after he had been tweeting some strange things, lol.)
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
VC, you are so right.
What I mostly remember about Alex Lambert is him looking as if he was about to hurl on the show. That was the first performance show and almost all the boys seemed to be suffering from nerves really badly.
Twitter: jevjos
http://www.nixacountry.com/MEDIA-PLAYER.html
You can rate IWNSG now but it’s not playing.
Maybe, but a lot of the ones voting against Danny are the Sleeze Akk kind–just haters voting against Danny.
Instead of rabid, Danny’s fans are rapid. See how fast they vote.
Twitter: steph6449
that 12:48 PM comment on the Slezak poll cracks me up
Wow, Steph, didn’t realize this website was something to be “concerned” about.
Did you make that post for some free publicity? 
I voted on the poll for Danny, At I was saying who was Alex Lambert, Then watched the video, Now I remember him, But Danny is much better a singer
Suprise to see Alex leading in that poll
Ok back to voting at the WSB site
Twitter: steph6449
milgokey, that one wasn’t me
Twitter: VickieCarol
Didn’t know that Slezak linked to Iheartdannygokey for the “Come Rain Or Come Shine” video.
Twitter: Owlki
Blergh… Slezak…
Yay to go on the voting, peeps.
I showered, ate dinner and now I’m ready to resume my power voting.
Twitter: steph6449
that is just too funny (in a blergh-y way of course, Erika!) to think of Slezak perusing iheart to find a video
Twitter: jevjos
Listening to GP and Tim Mcgraw’s song on Nixa and I really like this one much better than the other one she did.
I went to check out (and vote) on the Sleazak poll and saw this nice comment about iheart posted as a reply to someone’s response about this fan site:
I don’t know if it was posted by a Danny fan…didn’t seem to be…but I totally agree
Twitter: jannworth
All I can say is THANK YOU Amy, Erika and Steph.
We are very lucky to have this site for all things Danny and the good friends I’ve met here.

Twitter: VickieCarol
Asics,
Love that tweet and SO TRUE about this Danny fan site. Danny is one lucky guy to have such dedicated fans. Amy, Erika and Steph have put many hours into this site and it’s the best fan site, in my opinion.
Saw this while checking out twitter from a guy in college in Ohio:
Twitter: ***********
Hi everyone.
The final 6 hours
and an over 130,000 vote lead 
Steph, Thanks for posting Leah’s Charity again. It reminded me. Voting for Sophia’s Heart is all encompassing, I forgot about Leah’s Charity until I saw your post.
I will not miss the Captchas, especially the three D Captchas.
I have trouble deciphering the o, e and c with that type. 
It is not victory yet, but the fat lady is warming up her vocal chords.
Ditto Jan about your comment regarding iheart. I feel we are all so lucky at the amount of work that is put in everyday to make this a great site! The voting numbers are looking grrreeeaat
!
Sorry we were gone all day at a meeting here in Omaha but plan to vote the rest of the evening.
Twitter: VickieCarol
Jan,
I just voted five times for Leah.
Went to store, eat dinner. Now back to voting the rest of the nite
Twitter: jevjos
These guys still have unlimited voting this weekend i’m not sure if it’ll be like that during the week to get him some votes tomorrow or tonight http://Top5GoneWild.com/Vote
Twitter: jevjos
Jan what’s her link I thought I saved it but i guess not.
Twitter: steph6449
Cherie, http://www.wizehive.com/voting/search/sbcc/?q=common+threads&p=1
Good night for voting, Leah is back
in a tie forat #1!Got my votes in for Leah…thanks for the reminder and link
Twitter: VickieCarol
Wow, That’s Great Steph.
Jan, is Leah a happy camper?
Twitter: jevjos
Less than 4 hours to go and we’re at a victory. Maybe we should have a guess for the end totals?
Twitter: VickieCarol
Three hours to go.
Cherie, I’m way to tired to even think about guessing what the total will be for SH at the end of the contest.
But let me know what your guess is. You are pretty good with numbers so you will be pretty close, I’m sure.
I will sleep so good tonight and will sleep late tomorrow. I need a long vacation after this contest.
Twitter: jannworth
Thanks everybody for putting Leah’s non-profit in 1st place. She is beginning to understand the power of the ihearties
I can’t believe that the Romans didn’t plan an end push. Maybe when we held them off on mid-week and gained each day, they knew the
was too much!
Great job, ihearties!
Twitter: jevjos
Just random numbers but the 424 for Danny’s birthday 1,427,424
Twitter: VickieCarol
When we were in second place, I wouldn’t even look at then numbers. It was depressing. I couldn’t believe the push of votes on Danny’s birthday. There are so many fans who love him and really came through for him and SH.
I’m so proud to have been apart of this contest and happy to have been able to help SH.
That was the big question this morning. Wondering if the Romans were going to hit it hard with their voting. I think you are right Jan, they just figured that they couldn’t catch up so they didn’t bother voting as hard as they had before.
Twitter: VickieCarol
Jan,
I see that Leah’s contest goes until May 18th. Can you post the link here everyday to remind me to vote? Milgokey asked to be reminded too. Thanks
Twitter: jannworth
I’ll be happy to post it Milgokey and Vickie Carol. It’s cool to see it in first place!
And Danny and Ivan sending out tweets is very nice, too!
Danny Gokey
Dear fans-Thank u Thank u & Thank u!! The dedication & the effort u have put into myself & @sophiasheart is so humbling!! Love u guys!
Twitter: tonicny

Love you back, Toni!
Thanks for all the support ihearties!

Lulu, you won the book a few fans made for Danny I will need your mailing address so you can either DM me your address or Erika/Steph can give you my email address and we do it thru email. Congratulations!
Toni
Hi all. Yes, I am still up celebrating this wonderful moment for Danny
! I am so happy we are able to support Sophia’s Heart because I know Danny will put the money to good use. I hope there are more contests in the future. This was fun watching everyone pull together. A huge thanks to international fans! We couldn’t have done it without you. Goodnight everyone

Good Night Paula

Joining the discussion page for the countdown!!!!!!
So proud to be apart of this contest and this site. So proud to be a Danny Gokey fan and just plain happy to see that Sophia’s heart won.
I agree that the double vision was pretty irritating, but we persevered.
I agree that this site is the best and we have Erica, Steph and Amy to thank for that.
I voted for Leah and have posted it on my fb and twitter for my Danny fans here. good night all and congratulations Danny. feeling the Gokey
P.S. Alex who?????

Twitter: jannworth

I’ve never been happier to get locked out of a website. I was still voting, so I didn’t catch the last total, did anyone get it??
Good nights sleep sound good to anyone? Good by April! Now I can llook forward to the concert THIS FRIDAY!
Party time!
Great Job evertone we did it together
Jan – 1,420,829 was the last vote total I saw at 11:59 before being locked out.
Twitter: jevjos
A few thousand off but we still got it congrats everyone.
Twitter: pjgvet
Victory!
Thanks so much everyone for all their sacrifice. I know how much time so many of you spent, to help benefit others- very selfless.
When things looked less bright, you all hung in there, slaved away and we came back to win it.
Just like Asics gravatar
Iheart was absolutely essential in this victory- I can vouch for that!
Twitter: Owlki
Yaaaaaaay! Awesome job, everyone!
Now I can sleep!
And wake up in two hours to go to work…
Nite nite!
Great job everyone
Goodnite
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
This is so awesome! SO happy that we won this for Danny and Sophia’s Heart.
Ihearties, you are beyond awesome!
Twitter: jannworth
It’s a good thing you’re a pretty, young thing, Erika! Lack of sleep doesn’t look so good on me…..
Twitter: jannworth
Good night, dear ihearties. We’ve bonded (again) on supporting a good cause/person–and this time we took #1!
Twitter: steph6449
Amazing job everyone!
Twitter: VickieCarol
Amazing Job, Ihearts
Twitter: VickieCarol
Steph,
Great minds think alike.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
The last vote total I saw was 1,420,863 for us, and 1,262,491 for 2nd place.
My last captcha that I typed in was “Trust”. I thought that was pretty cool.
Twitter: VickieCarol
What a memorable day.
Good Night Ihearts
Twitter: tonicny
This was an intense month of waking up early go to work come back make dinner and start voting I started with only 1 or 2 hrs at night but then as the weeks went by I kept voting more hours and going to sleep later. This was surely pure dedication and love for Sophia’s Heart and Danny. I am glad and proud to be part of this great team.
I am going to say Goodnight and will enjoy sleeping in tomorrow (sorry Erika!).
I will probably stay off the computer as much as possible tomorrow (????)to get ready for Oregon, can’t wait.
There are probably many lurkers that voted for the contest so to those a very big Thank you for all your votes.
Twitter: ***********
Off to bed. That was a great victory.
Looking forward to a Captcha free day 
Danny in top 36: (old, but fun)
more marathon pictures:
Wow! Great job guys. I knew we could do it. It’s all about love!
