I know season 8 of American Idol is just starting but I already have a favorite ->
28-year-old Danny Gokey from Milwaukee, WI. Gokey is a Church Music Teacher (whatever that means?). Maybe I like him because he looks like my friend Doug Jones and Doug is cool. Anyway, Gokey seems so soulfully natural... he will at least make the top 5. Here is Danny singing "I hope you dance" during Hollywood Week.

i liked him from his first audition..."the guy whose wife died" (you know, to keep them all straight.) what a sad story, but good for him for moving forward with his dream!! i hope it pays off for him!

It's because he's from Milwaukee, WISCONSIN!

I totally agree. He's a great singer and i think person. And you gotta root for guys with initials DG. My prediction: top 4.

After tonight, I'm feeling confident of my prediction... I'm a flippin talent scout.

If Gokey doesn't win I'll be surprised. He's got something inside of him no other contestant has; well other than maybe Scott M.
Both have incredible stories, and voices. I'm rooting for these two.
