Dude it’s 2022, I just saw you in concert in Civic center in Salisbury Maryland tonight. You put on the greatest performance tonight I have ever seen, thank you Danny God bless you
It was good at the start, went flat after a few lines, picked it up again, was great at the start of the chorus but, oh my, the second half of the chorus and that scream is the stuff of legend! Thank you, Danny, for one of the most memorable moments from any TV talent show ever.
I never watched American Idol but in 2013 when I was driving to and from work and clinicals I found klove and haven't turned back. The music of Danny Gokey, Colton Dixon and many others have touched not only my life but the lives of my children. God is good!
It's not bad. Most people would pussy out on attempting the scream or half ass it. He stepped out of his comfort zone and gave it the energy it needed.
Danny Gokey is amazing but I believe he was called Christian music now he 1000 times more successful! All these guys that missed signing him are kicking themselves!!! For missing chance of lifetime to sign him up as artist on first album!
He's just unique and amazingly talented, his voice is very versatile. He can be soulful when he wants to be, then totally rock it out like Steven Tyler. He took a risk and nailed it..love it!!! Danny Gokey rocks!!!
I finally saw this clip for the first time and was floored by her statement. Considering Dream On is on Aerosmith's first album you can't get much earlier!
thank god...he kept going past the world past there negatives... TELL YOUR HEART TO BEAT AGAIN came and nothing can stop A Child Of God... Dream on has the message we all needed to hear and listen too let the past go & Dream On. GOD IS THE GREAT ADVENTURER ...LOVE THIS SONG
Why does his religion have anything to do with his vocal performance. So Adam Lambert fans should just be like "You're gay, I'm gay, therefore your vocals are good?" Lol
To think that this is where he was years ago. Just a heads up, I'm at a concert with him singing at my church *right now* and he sings beautifully. He's living his dreams man. There's a meet and great after this so we get to say hi! :D
He killed it? Sounded more like he was the victim .. that was a blood curdling scream if I ever heard one .. nothing to do with music!! Danny should stick to his own way of singing instead of trying to sound like ADAM!! He'll never make it .. ADAM is the BEST .. no matter what the genre!! .. LAMBERT Outlaw
Me too. Danny Golky is a much better singer than Adam Lambert any day of the year. But, it's all good God had a plan, and if he had won he'd probably still be under contract to American Idol. God used this show to bring the exposure needed. Adam is like Adam who??? Danny has been a steadily rising light. It's not about fame or fortune...it's about being a light in a dark world. May Danny always remain faithful to the calling of God in his life...as a husband...as a father...and as a wonderful singer and worshiper of our Lord Jesus Christ!
@@debidevalois4881 Adam is famous, touring with one of the most famous bands ever and making millions as an idol for marginalized youth. Danny is some bum evangelical loser who hasn’t been relevant since this performance made him into a living joke. I can’t wait for you all to find out that god doesn’t hate gays, he hates bigots. :)
@@debidevalois4881 Adam Lambert is now the lead singer of Queen and has been touring regularly for years. Maybe do your research before commenting next time LOL.
@@debidevalois4881errrr Adam Lambert is friggin huge. Like a huge star that guest starred on Glee for half a season, was on PLL, lead vocalist for Queen and has several albums that have done literally amazing as well as several tours. And he sang the muffin man like cher and went viral. What has this guy done lately? And the last note was atrocious but hey, I do remember liking him in general.
Nobody will ever convince me the judges weren’t forced to favor certain contestants. This was so good and they all said it was bad. It doesn’t make sense unless it was rigged
That last note was the worst in Idol's history. They were actually very kind because he was a chosen one since day 1. Him, Adam, and Lil were the chosen three until Lil became terrible at picking song choices. Don't rewrite history
Awesome in the same way that nails on a chalkboard are awesome, I assume? You religious fanatics stick together. It’s really disheartening. Gokey has NO talent.
@@joshdemay9130 I'm not a religious person, and I don't know anything about Danny Gokey. I'm just an Aerosmith fan from way back. I saw them in concert shortly after they released this album. Geez, almost 50 years ago. Anyhow, I'm just checking out covers of this song, and I have to agree with the OP. I liked it...even more so after I heard the judges say this isn't his genre. To each his own ☮️
A real Artist …. This is what I call VERSATILITY… He can sing the Musical Genre he wants …. so sad he didn’t get the credit for that …. getting an A+ for the effort was Insulting.
Danny has brought many to Christ, or given them the courage to seek healing of their Faith, through his unique gifts. Anyone can preach all day long. Not everyone uses the gifts GOD GAVE THEM to reach the lost. Like Peter, he stepped out of the boat fearful, but in Faith. Look at the positive impact he has now.
This is when Danny lost his chance to make the finale. He failed to realize that it was Kris Allen he needed compete against, not Adam Lambert. Lambert wasn't gonna win when America found out he was gay. Danny Gokey might've won if he didn't pick Dream On on Rock week.
shwonsh No, this is where he lost his chance to win, because Danny's performance of Dream On, especially at the final four, was fucking repulsive. I was actually a big fan of Danny up to this point in the season, but this rendition of Dream On killed my love for him in not even 2 minutes. One of the worst performances I have seen in the history of the show. The scream makes my ears fucking bleed every time.
Nels Danburg I agree, if it were up to me and Danny didn’t perform this I would want him and Adam to be the finale, but with this performance Adam and Allison should have been the finale
Steven Tyler, he was *definitely* screaming it on that original recording and at concerts - and i love Danny's cover of the song, too!..& Aerosmith, still one of my favorite bands to this *day!* 👍🙋🏾♀️ also, they KNEW he was going to be singing that + very often they would hear contestants practicing, even back then - so it's so *100% disingenuous* for them to go after Danny for singing that particular tune.🙄
The judges didn't want him to win the competition and this was proof of that....trying to manipulate the outcome. Probably told by the producers. Realistically, this was an outstanding performance, especially compared to the other pedestrian contestants.
People who didn’t like the scream are the same people who don’t like metal. And to be clear, Aerosmith WAS NOT metal. That was a great scream and I enjoyed this video. A country singer took a classic and made it better and took shit for it because it was 2008 and not 2018. 🤷🏻♂️
@bubblewrapped wth all 3 were white dudes? wdym by whiter? It's either you're white or you're not. Kris Allen won because he peaked at the right time with Heartless. Danny peaked early on and was good to great performances throughout.
do you people have nothing better to do than sit in the comments hating on people? This is a waste of time, you aren't changing anyone's minds and you could be doing something more important with your time. hmm, unless you want to take the low road.
Kara was right that he would have been much better doing something like Cryin' or Crazy, but her calling that early Aerosmith when those are from the 90s and Dream On is from the 70s lol.
Love Danny Gokey but that was a bad song choice for him especially that scream in the end! I thought he did the middle part really well and the beginning was very pitchy! I think he should’ve sung Long Train Runnin’ by The Doobie Brothers or Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas!
see your hating on a man for belief n work ethics as christian n his music you need to wake up to and realize he makes great music n is a great man of god look at what he does started a foundation in honor of his wife fixing broken homes people with financial problems n.familes displaced in nashville he tours and has great ministries dont hate cause hes doing something positive and life is good maybe you should try god
+Olivia Piper Robeck Hating and choosing not to associate are entirely different. I don't associate with druggies, and I choose not to, does that mean I hate them? I don't associate with people who like to party, does that mean I hate them? No, I'm Christian, but do I hate gay people? Absolutely not. In fact, my best friend is gay, and that's not going to stop me from loving him as a person and I'm certainly not going to force my lifestyle on him, but I am also not going to associate myself with the lifestyle he chooses to live, and if he is opened to knowing God, then I will certainly show him that path, but until then, we will continue out lifestyles separately but still lovingly. The same goes for Danny Gokey (and other Christians), he chooses not to associate with people who don't live his lifestyle, and that's okay, he shouldn't be forced to work with someone he doesn't want to associate himself with, especially since he's a freaking Christian artist (heck, I doubt he would work with Justin Bieber if that chance appeared, so I don't see why he should be condemned for not working with Adam). Your generalization is what makes you as much of a bigot as those Christians who go out of their way to spread hate, and intolerant atheists who get offended by every little Christian-related theme that happens to cross their paths are just as disgusting a those hypocritical Christians.
+inoarcher I agree 100%. I was going to try to reply to Olivia Piper Robeck's earlier post but then noticed yours and saw no need. i was trying to reply but couldn't think of the words but you said it perfectly. I'm a God-fearing, Jesus-adoring, faithful teenage girl and I dont like to associate with druggies and partiers and those who may lead me to sin. I respect Danny Gokey so much and love his music.
inoarcher He didn’t just refuse to associate with Adam. He specifically expressed hate towards him. And your analogy doesn’t work. partying and drug use are harmful behaviors. Sexuality is something that cannot be helped and isn’t a harmful behavior. What you said is like someone saying "I don’t think he should be condemned for not wanting to associate with black people. Homophobia and racism is the same hate.
Olivia Piper Robeck Except. the analogy does work, because for Christians, homosexuality is considered a sin, and as Christians, choosing not to accept that part of the teaching would be the same as a Christian not accepting the fact that we should love our neighbors unconditionally, we can't pick and choose what to believe, but we can still love like Jesus loved regardless of sin. Also, I don't personally know anything about Danny Gokey, but last time I heard, he specifically said in an interview that he and Lambert were friends and that they texted each other often, so I don't really know what you're so caught up about.
Was it perfect ? What a ridiculous statement!! Only Steven Tyler can reach that level of perfection on his own song. Did Danny Gokey perform it correctly? YES !! Had Simon Cowell ever heard that song before ? NO !! He had a poor and negative comment that is worth less than nothing !!
Actually Michael Johns did Dream On on the show back in season 7 so yes Simon had heard this song before. And Johns did it much better than Gokey did imo.
@@chaconazo7 Well of course he can't. He's not a singer, he's a music producer. But he's trained to know good singing when he hears it. And even then he was way more nice than I expected him to be LOL. You'll need to be receptive to feedback if you wanna be a credible artist. Your attitude is exactly why a lot of those terrible delusional singers fail in those early audition stages LOL. Cuz I'm sorry this was easily Danny Gokey's worst performance on his season. That scream was so laughably bad LMAO.
