USA Today is announcing that Danny Gokey was signed to 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville, meaning the entire top 4 was signed to a record label that has ties with Idol. Sony Music Nashville chairman Joe Galante reacted to the deal by saying, "We absolutely love Danny. We haven't had anybody like that (in country) since Ronnie Milsap or T. Graham Brown." Ronnie Milsap and T. Graham Brown reacted by gathering a violent mob to burn down the Sony Music Nashville headquarters. No word yet on if there were any survivors.

Love the family portrait.
Love the family portrait. Which one is Douche Gropey?
Pinkpride mumbled "In
Pinkpride mumbled "In interviews he's so humble, so honest and laid-back."
Even that one when he said he's in it for the money? I guess that was *honest* but I wouldn't call it humble. And the manic way he said it wasn't "laid back".
Damn, Ronnie Milsap had 40
Damn, Ronnie Milsap had 40 #1 country hits? I would have missed the over/under by about 35 on that one. And they're comparing Gokey to him. Well, how about this: let's have Gokey cover "Daydreams About Night Things" for his first single. Now THAT would be hilarious.

see here's the thing that bothers me about you "fans"...
You're here calling the commenters "jobless" or whatever because they/we have "nothing better to do with our time".
But what exactly are you accomplishing with your time?
Do you think that we're all going to suddenly go "Oh! What was I thinking? Danny IS somehow talented and my TV must have been on the fritz during Dream On..."
Yeah, and my TV was on the fritz the entire rest of the show where I saw his douchey outfits, bland songs and where his friend without the dead wife didn't get through even though he was far more interesting and talented.
Seriously, if you don't like what people are saying here, go read some sort of Gokey fan site, and truly, enjoy it. Enjoy whatever it is that makes you happy. You can't possibly be making yourself happy by reading this website, unless you enjoy being upset or reading offensive things about a singer you like. Which would be incredibly strange or sad or both.
And that's a shame
Danny Gokey is a douche. And

I'm excited, I love Danny,
I'm excited, I love Danny, you guys are all jealous of him. Just because none of you can get real jobs doesn't mean you should take it out on others. Norman Gentle is a douche.
If he hadn't "mentioned" his
If he hadn't "mentioned" his wife, he would have never made it on to this fucking show. He wouldn't have even made the first cut.
The guy represented no more than an interesting back story.
When the Idol powers that be figured out that he was in fact a no-talent douchebag capable of inspiring little more than contempt for pimping his dead wife than sympathy, they started cutting him loose.

I am only 210 miles away from that douchebag...............
That is a great picture of him in stone. keep up the good work!
I agree 100% with PinkPride
I agree 100% with PinkPride - Danny is gorgeous!
Look how hot he is in the picture right on this very page! The strong jaw, the sinewy body, the spark of intelligence and charm in his eyes.
Oh, wait, that's the gargoyle. The guy on the left is a mess. Never mind.
I will, however, give Danny props for keeping such a brave face despite the hundreds of people on the ground screaming "jump, jump!"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! How the HELL

How the HELL did he manage to do it? WHO DID HE KILL?

Gokey has an "okay" voice, but no charisma. If he does well, then it doesn't speak well of country music fans.
I think 19 just signed him
I think 19 just signed him to the label, not to the Management. If Fuller did that, it would show that he is hedging his bets on Kris Allen. Granted, it might look like that anyways, but Country is a strong suit in this country. Hell, look at Bucky Covington. If he can push 200K in sales, Gokey can. That is why 19R/RCA Nashville signed him.
It's fascinating with Danny
It's fascinating with Danny because he seems to appeal to conservatives, but he doesn't really fit the country mold - so he's kind of caught between two worlds, and rather than going left they chose to move him right.
But what's weird is that they 'released' Danny on that 'freedom' day, was it August 20 - you kind of wonder why they didn't just sign him from the get go, or at least sign him while he was still under contract. And could Danny have received a less glowing endorsement from the CEO of Sony Nashville? Ronnie Milsap and T. Graham Brown - who the heck is that?!?
I guess the idea is that if he can tap into that market where musically and personality-wise, (if not background-wise) he seems to be a pretty good fit, then he only has to do so-so in two big markets to do pretty well. Because anybody who's popular in both markets sells an insane amount of records like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift - somebody who's so-so popular could still do really well.
It could happen - Danny's a natural with the gospel cross-over stuff like Jesus Take the Wheel, and songs that mention God or Jesus seem to do really well, so...Something else maybe they're considering is hooking Danny up with a band that has true country roots, so he'd be like a Rascall Flatts...MilGokey Flatts if you will. Or they could pair him up with other singers and form a group, like Lady Antebellum or whoever...Gokey Antebellum. But it doesn't sound like his label is totally convinced he's a sure thing, so that's kind of interesting.
He's got to stop the pelvic thrusting though - that's just got to stop. I think we're all in agreement with that :p
Now, all they need to do is
Now, all they need to do is sign Gokey's wife, and they'll have a clean sweep.

Gokey is NOT country! He is from MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN! Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin and on top of that, is one of the most NORTHERN states in the country! North does NOT equal country! BIGGEST CITY IN THE STATE does NOT equal country! GAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Who the HELL are Ronnie Milsap and T. Graham Brown?
Can't imagine ever buying a
Can't imagine ever buying a Gokey single or cd. This is the most boring and annoying of the AI 8 group. Still think he belongs in Christian Music, where no style and awful looks don't matter. He will eventually be self producting his CDs and 19 Recording/RCA Nashville will be kicking themselves for ever signing him.
Wow, I can see that VFTW is
Wow, I can see that VFTW is still crawling with tone-deaf cockroaches who waste their lives stalking contestants and dissecting every little detail that occurs along the way. You sad, mush-for-brains little midgets...
First of all, I couldn't be more enthusiastic and happy about Danny getting signed! It's about time somebody recognizes what he has to offer (even though, I must admit, his song choices were atrocious on Idol). Personally, I'm not a country fan at all, but if Danny can belt it out without that whiney You-broke-my-heart-on-that-starry-night twang then I'm all for it.
An Adam CD, however, would force me to gouge out my eardrums with broken glass.
Just...no. My cat does enough shrieking for 300 Lamberts, thank you.
Oh, and Tricia1: Awful looks? I guess everyone has different taste, but calling Danny "ugly" is the most retarded thing ever. He's fucking GORGEOUS. Like, fifty billion times prettier than Adam, but I'm guessing that you prefer girls? D:
@pinkpride Even if you do
@pinkpride
Even if you do think he is "GORGEOUS" aren't you a bit turned off by the fact that he's smug and conceited? He has a Kanye-West-sized-ego without the success to back it up.
Vftwkim: Danny isn't smug or
Vftwkim: Danny isn't smug or conceited at all. In fact, I've never seen a more down to earth person in my life. In interviews he's so humble, so honest and laid-back. You guys all hated him from the instant he tried out for Idol, just because the producers forced him to share his tragedy and therefore "whored out Sophia for sympathy votes." Wtf?
Whenever Danny smiled he was smug to you assholes, lol. I bet that if he didn't mention his wife then none of this would even be happening. Or maybe it's something else...maybe you just hate Danny because he's real? Adam is fake. The mascara-smudged eyes, over-the-top outfits and constant in-your-face-making-out-with-his-500-boyfriends. It doesn't matter that he's gay, it just annoys me how he shoves his gay pride down our throats 24/7.
Oh, and what's this BS about Adam joining Queen to replace Freddy? LMFAO xD.
In his wet dreams...
Gokey from Muskogee They'll
Gokey from Muskogee
They'll change the lyrics for this asswipe
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
I love y'all at VFTW, but I
I love y'all at VFTW, but I believe the press release announcing Mr. Gokey's recent record deal has been misstated here.
19 Recordings/RCA Nashville are two separate and distinct entities. The confusion resulted from a misreading of Sony Music Nashville's chairman Joe Galante, which, in full, went like this:
"We absolutely love Danny. We haven't had anybody like that (in country) since Ronnie Milsap or T. Graham Brown. For good reason! Who's been clamoring for the next Ronnie Milsap or T. Graham Brown? Who, for that matter, even knows who T. Graham Brown is? Let's face it, I'll be surprised if Gokey's suckfest sells even 19 recordings!"
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about Mr. Galante's comments.
PS: Celebrity impersonation of Mr. Galante played by Paula ("Oh my lord why did I quit the one good gig I'll ever get what the hell was I thinking damn that happy juice what am I going to do now I'll work for fish") Abdul.
