CAN HE SOAR HIGH BEFORE HE'S BEAT GETS SOUR??? - meet the new American Idol??? DANNY GOKEY

Danny Gokey sang “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” for his audition on American Idol 8.

Danny Gokey’s wife passed away 4 weeks before the audition. I generally hate it when Idol uses a death in the family to promote its contestants, but the producers handled this better than the last time in my opinion.

Do we have Danny Gokey fans now?
