Danny Gokey, the 29 year-old church music director and recent widower, ended up taking third place in the competition. His rendition of "You Are So Beautiful" brought tears to the eyes of judges Paula and Kara, and was described by Simon Cowell as a "vocal master class". His husky voice was consistently impressive to the judging panel.
Despite the fact that Danny had long been considered to be a front runner in the competition, he ultimately didn’t receive enough votes to take him to the finals. Host Ryan Seacrest said 88 million votes came in, but Danny’s share obviously wasn’t enough.
The judges seemed authentically shocked and surprised when Danny was chosen as the next to go. Ever since the top thirteen were announced, the judges subtly hinted that the finale would show a head-to-head between Adam and Danny. Danny’s husky voice was consistently strong and virtually flawless, despite him screaming his last note in his rendition of "Dream On" last week. Adam’s original rock spin on most of his tunes continues to impress both the judges and fans.
Throughout the entire show, Danny was the only contestant never to be a part of the bottom three. Even long-time favourite Adam Lambert was a bottom three contestant. It just goes to show that anything can happen from week to week. This week just happened to be Danny’s time to go.
I hope Kris wins! I thought Danny had a great voice and would have loved to see a Danny vs. Kris finale. Sorry but I'm not on the Adam bandwagon. I just can't handle it when shriek-boy starts singing... sometimes his songs will start out nice but then he starts screaming and sticks his tongue out and I have to leave the room... not enjoyable much! This season has had the most flagrant and obvious pimping of a contestant (Adam... duh!) that I've ever seen... Ryan has NEVER mentioned the number of votes separating contestants; Katy Perry with Adam Lambert scrawled all over the back of her cape!; Paula picking a song for Danny that no one in the universe has ever heard before or would ever want to hear!?!; Simon talking about personally calling U2's Bono asking permission for Adam to sing "One" and saying Bono said it would be his honor for Adam to sing it... **rigged much**; The judges, especially Paula, drooling all over themselves when Adam so much as moves on stage; Simon giving Allison a not so good review when she absolutely was brilliant on "Alone"; Adam allowed to be on the covers of magazines but Danny not allowed to appear on "Good Morning LA"; The show is Wack this year and the four judges concept sucks. GO KRIS!!! Let's everyone vote for Kris and piss off the tptb at Idol. This will be the upset of the century!!!
