I love Danny for his fantastic voice, personality - a geneuinely nice guy who has got a powerful warm soulful voice. I despair to see him made to go. I don't live in America so I have never got a chance to vote...oh America, where is your heart?? You should have voted a genuine soul and a genuine talent in an unpretentious genuine boy who does represent everything good about America!
Despite all the hype the judges and the media created for Adam, I felt rather exhausting to see him after a while - his too theatrical an approach, smirky fakey smile, over weighted middle age-man-like face(with makeup) and figure - it is like having rich dinner at a French restaurant every night. First you think my God it is good, then day after day the 'fan-faire' experience and the taste exhaust you. It is good in small doses - like French food (sorry), LA, NY, any of big cities, money, ego, fashion, makeup, pretention....
I believe in the power of simplicity and quality in all things - tha

Danny had me at Hello, since he performed a heck of I heard it through the grapevine. He was obviously this year's Tamaray, Chris, Jennifer Hudson etc. Sacrificed to a bloated caricature of Axl Rose, which, for some inscrutable reason, Simon decided was the Anointed (last pimpage spot secured, interviews with Oprah, undeserved smothering praise), and to a mediocre singer like Kris - there are hundreds like him playing in clubs and bars all over the world.
I'm finally done with the show too. Kara is an insufferable, useless bitch who made the show intolerable, and, as for Simon, I would have never thought that the pimpage of Carrie Underwood would be surpassed in the future. The Nerve.

Absolutely will vote for Kris... Adam is a one-trick lizard. He screams every song. He NEVER moves me emotionally as a singer/performer. Adam is a gimmick. His voice is forgettable if you strip it of the ear-piercing scream and high notes. Tonally it lacks warmth, whereas Danny Gokey's voice is rich and mellifluous... and he is ALWAYS in tune. This was a fiasco, plain and simple. Danny should've won this season.
For those of you who are surprised by the corruption of the show... uh, DUH! Every year the winner is chosen by the producers and judges, and we are manipulated throughout the season toward the finale.

I don't think "voting" had anything to do with it. The JUDGES wanted Adam to win and so the JUDGES eliminated the only real competition standing in Adam's way via concerted sabotage. AI has lost any shred of credibility it may have had, as far as I'm concerned. I won't watch it anymore. I can't wait for Danny's CD to drop though; I'll be the first in line to purchase it. I wish all the best for Danny - he is an amazing talent who, I'm sure, will go far.

It is a tragedy that this man did not get to the season finale. I am still in shock and saddened by this outcome. Danny is so talented. He's gotten a raw deal from the beginning. People pick on him due to an unfortunate event that happened in his life, the passing of his wife. How horrible? This was a courageous thing for him to do in the midst of such a trying time. He has proven to be consistently great each week. He is an amazing artist. He is already missed by me! I do not think it's fair that he did not get to the finale - even though he had a good ride. It is sad to see people picking on him for his faith as well. There is freedom of religion in this country. He is called "controversial". I don't get it. His heart is to help children - and give to others of himself...how is that wrong or controversial? I could see if he was doing horrible things - but good things? This is a terrible injustice to Danny Gokey. I am really upset by this. This man is not only a goo

Danny didn't deserve to go. He was the most talented and versatile contestant. He didn't have to do the same scream in every song. I would have voted for Adam next week if I hadn't had the misfortune of reading all of the nasty anti-Gokey comments from some his "caring and commpassionate" fan base. Danny would have given Adam a run for his money so they wanted him gone. Chris is now guaranteed to win the competition. Danny's fans won't vote for Adam. Too bad for Adam, he's very talented.

I'm 49 years old - musical background and know that the voice & stage presence is what american idol is all about.
To sit on stage behind a piano or guitar - just about anyone
can do that. What Adam does with his voice, range & stage appearance is amazing. I will purchase any CD he puts out
and totally enjoy it. It will be my swimming pool music. He is fantastic.

I couldn't believe Danny was sent home over Chris. Danny is far much better than BOTH of the guys that are left. I will not be watching the finale or American Idol again. WE LOVE YOU DANNY AND HOPE YOU GO FAR IN YOUR CAREER!!

It was such a downer that Danny was voted off last night. I don't even want to watch the ending. Adam is very good but not the best. Kris has a voice but not as good as Danny's. I can't wait to buy Danny's first album.

Anybodie ever hear of Blood Sweat & Tears. Danny Gokey is the next David Calyton Thomas, I hope he gets a chance. Chris is an Ok singer, but puh leeze. Danny, I'd like to hear you sing some of my stuff. I might actually do the album I've been threatening to do for the last 10 years.

Simon Cowell stated on the Oprah show just a few days ago that Adam deserved to win. IMO he should not have done that. That may have swayed opinions. I also agree with the above posts. Who will buy what Adam is selling? Tell me how he is going to be marketed?
While I have been a Danny fan since day one, I have always stated that Kris Allen has the most commercial appeal. The final 2 should have been Danny & Kris, but I guess the rest of America didn’t agree. Go out and make your own CD with your own style Danny, winning AI is the kiss of death to a career anyway.

I liked Danny Gokey. He not only has talent, but he is a wonderful role model. He is respectful, and moral. We have not heard the last from him yet. Kris Allen is very good, but not to Danny's level of a superb voice. Adam Lambert does not appeal to people who do not like Hard Rock, or all that screaming instead of singing.
And I hated some of this year's performers. Last night's last performer needed to go put some clothes on. She was disgusting with the cheeks of her butt hanging out and her breasts too. And I am sick of Simon and Paula fighting. What examples are they setting for our youth, certainly not respect and modesty. I think it is time for American Idol to be over with.
DANNY's ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER

Danny had the best voice of them all, he just didn't have the stage presence, apparently, for the judges to be absolutely wowed. They always praised his vocals as brilliant, outstanding, hot, sexy, whatever...but then they always cut on him for something lame like his dancing. It's not freaking dancing with the stars, but...Simon and his ilk have been so obviously favoring Adam for the last 8 weeks or so...they got their way. I think Danny will get the last laugh, though, cuz he's so marketable and Adam??? I mean, really, how many ppl are going to buy a screaming 80s rock album? Been there, done that.

NO! He was the best and most consistent performer from the auditions to the end. Adam is theatrical and flamboyant and will not make it as a recording artist; he is obviously an "actor" first! And I agree with those who said they are tired of his screaming.
I think there was unfair stuff on this years show. One Adam's name on the cape and he knew it was there thats why he wanted her to perform. He Danny got a bad song choice by Paula. He had never been in the bottom three and then got voted off. What is American Idol coming to some of the performers were bad. For Gods sack they need clothes on you are suppose to put a respectable image out there i didn't see that this year. How about doing something for our country. Danny got ripped off and i feel it was set up for Adam all year to win. Danny did not get a fair shake. You watch it will be all over the media that Adam is openly gay. I don't care about this show anymore this turned me against it. I'M DONE
