I was already rooting for Danny Gokey before the first live show last night for American Idol Season 8, and I was so happy to see him perform well and be voted into the Final 12. American Idol obviously wants him to do well also. He has the heart-wrenching story of his wife’s death right before his audition along with his friend who didn’t make it through, he looks like Robert Downey Jr. so he has the celebrity thing going for him already, and the judges all seem to adore him (well, except for Simon maybe). I expect him to go far. Congratulations to Danny Gokey! I will be cheering for him!
Here is Danny Gokey’s Top 12 performance:
