Ellen B.’s Wilkes-Barre AI Concert Recap, Part I (Meet & Greet)

I didn’t seriously consider attending an AI concert until I started lurking at iheartdannygokey. Then the question was — where? I narrowed it down to St. Louis, Kansas City, or Wilkes-Barre, PA. Part of the reason I ultimately chose Wilkes-Barre is because it is a small city, so the arena isn’t as big. I was hoping that smallness would provide an edge and up my chances of meeting Danny Gokey and getting his autograph. (I’m sure Wilkes-Barre would never have been on AI’s radar screen except for its location — close enough to draw attendees from Philly, Newark, and New York.)

I was woefully unprepared for the concert. I never had time to get a T-shirt printed as planned. (It would have said “Danny, you had me at the first growl” on one side and “Go Go Gokey Growl!” on the other.) I had no sign for Danny. I had no gift for Danny. I bought a new digital camera right before the trip. (I had no experience with digital; had only used a 35 mm SLR before.) I had no photos of Danny for him to sign, and no idea how to get any. I assumed they would be sold during the concert, which would be too late for the meet & greet. But, at least I knew that there was such a thing as a meet & greet and that it usually occurred in the afternoon, before the concert. I would have been clueless as usual but for the experiences that iheartDG members shared on this site.

SheKnows: The Buzz: “American Idol” summer gone, but not memories

by Bob Benedetti

Where’d our “American Idol” summer go?

Sun-drenched days outside and scorching night performances from Season Eight’s best have given way to shorter, mostly cooler days.

But not so fast. Join me in one last, up-close savoring of a flaming 50-city fare served up by the show’s most recent Top 10 finalists.

…

Thick with back story and Michael McDonald-like timbre, Danny Gokey showed plenty of vocal chops and versatility with Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T.” and Santana’s “Maria Maria,” but it was the Midwesterner’s passion and message that left its greatest mark. No longer could accusers deem Gokey as a footloose, loafing goof Hicks 2.0; his sweat-laced narrative to the congregation “you can do anything…don’t let adversity get in your way” segue into Rascal Flatts’ “My Wish” was not only a sincere and compelling ode to his departed wife, but to living each day with gusto–and the Lord’s help.
