Former American idol finalist Danny Gokey has been waxing lyrical about his debut album ‘My Best Days,’ telling fans that it is an intensely personal piece of work. Claiming that his very DNA is weaved into the songs, Danny thinks that the record will help people connect with him ‘on a whole new level.’
Former finalist Danny Gokey returned to the American Idol stage last night. Coming back to the stage that launched his music career, Danny gave an amazing performance of his new single “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” from his just released new debut album ‘My Best Days.’
Former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey will be making his big return on this week’s result show.
Danny made it to the final three contestants on last year’s season and has just released his debut album ‘My Best Days’ this week.
Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have made it through to next week’s final of American Idol, Danny Gokey was eliminated last night.
Listening to the three semi-finalists performance on Youtube I am not at all surprised that Kris got through. He performed Heartless by Kanye West, but he wiped the floor with Kanye’s own performance on the show a few weeks ago. Adam did an amazing job with U2′s One but Danny Gokey definitely underwhelmed with his chosen track, ‘Dance Little Sister.’
Judge Simon Cowell told the contestants: “Look, none of us would have predicted this, guys.” I find that a strange statement given that Simon predicted that Adam would win just a few days ago.
So who are you backing to win next week? Have a listen to last night’s performances and leave your comments below.

I love a bit of Danny and tonight he just didn’t disappoint. Danny doesn’t have the edge that Allison and Adam do but he made a great stab at rock week with Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On.’
Randy thought it was just alright, Kara thought he took the swagger too far, Paula gave him an A+ for effort and Simon towed the Randy, Kara line.
I liked it, though it certainly wasn’t the strongest performance of the night. But Danny showed that he could be versatile and try new things and for that surely he deserves some credit?
Danny Gokey hasn’t had a bad week yet and it looks like this week isn’t going to be his weak one. Out of all the contestants Danny looks most comfortable with this genre and most suited to the vocal style.
Last night’s American Idol saw a return to form for show favourite Danny Gokey. Danny hasn’t given a bad performance to date but last week was certainly outshone by Adam Lambert’s toned down song.
So Danny Gokey performed ‘Get Ready’ on last nights American Idol and he hit the nail on the head once again.
Danny always gives a really fun performance and he certainly knows how to work the stage. It wasn’t as moving as some of his previous renditions, but then it wasn’t really an emotional song. I loved his moves with the backing singers and his cheesy grin the whole way through!
Judges Comments:
Sources are suggesting what many already suspected and rumours are rife that American Idol bosses have already chosen their final four contestants.
Considering there are still 11 singers left on the show, that’s not good news for those people that aren’t Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace.
The New York Daily News reports that an AI insider said not only have the judges already picked their final four, but added that they want either Danny Gokey or Alexis Grace to scoop the title, saying that they are the most marketable.
Former American Idol winner Fantasia has revealed that she is backing Danny Gokey to win this years series.
Fantasia won the third series of AI in 2004 and admitted that she has voted for 28 year old Danny. She said she loves singers who can “take a song that’s not theirs, but make it their own.”
