The former American Idol contestant has recently produced a video in which he is promoting his home state of Milwaukee. After describing the cultural diversity of the state and all the wonderfully attractive tourist attractions, Danny Gokey ends his video with the earth-shattering words “You will not be disappointed.” Most likely not, just like the folks in Milwaukee weren’t disappointed with Danny Gokey’s performance on American Idol. But hey, at least it seems to be getting them some positive publicity and who knows, it might all actually turn up a big tourist number soon. Danny Gokey’s popularity is most likely going to be on the rise after this. Is it sheer coincidence that a new American Idol tour is coming up, a tour at which he will be participating?

And the race continues with the three contestants apparently vying for something of a draw so as to keep the competition flowing on and on. It seems Danny Gookey is not about to let the others get the better of him so he goes for Billy Preston’s “You are so beautiful”… after many consultations with his mentors. It proves to be a wise choice as Danny Gookey gets the chance to show off his vocal abilities. Randy Jackson said: “You showed you are here because you can really, really, REALLY sing.” Simon Cowell remains the ever heartless skeptic, but he also commends Danny Gookey’s vocal abilities. So far, it looks like the three contestants might actually make a pretty decent band if they team up… but, sadly they’re going to have to rip each other’s guts out vying for first place.

American Idol finalist Allison Iraheta was given a reason to be a cry baby when she was the latest contestant to be booted off of the show. After all of the comments made on performance night, it was pretty surprising to see Kris Allen be the first to be sent to safety, followed by Adam Lambert and then Danny Gokey. Allison took her dismissal in stride though, belting out an energized reprise of Janis Joplin’s ‘Cry Baby’. Host Ryan Seacrest seems to be a big fan of the girl telling her before the show’s end “I’ll be playing you on the radio real soon.” The remaining 3 contestants will travel to their hometowns this week before performing 2 songs next week – 1 of their choosing and another from the judges. I wonder which judge isn’t going to get a pick.
