Danny Gokey Could Sing At Your Wedding
Ryan Seacrest and Kiis FM are giving away the “perfect wedding” and part of the package is Danny Gokey!
For the lucky couple who wins the contest, all the details of the wedding will be paid for–from the invitations through to the honeymoon, plus the “perfect reception” where Danny Gokey will appear to serenade the newly-married couple.
I wonder if he takes requests? Does he know “The Macarena”?
Interested couples are required to submit a video that explains why they are the “perfect couple”

Hokey Gokey? Seriously? LMAO!!!
Make it David Cook please, now that would be perfect……..but then again if David was there what interest would I have in marrying someone else?
Tori is the black sheep Spelling. On the wrong side of the will and the inner circle. She can’t help anyone. I give her credit for always finding a way to make lemonade out of lemons. But, she’s barely keeping her own head above water at this point. She used to be an actress (if not a very good one). Now, she’s just a reality show fame-whore like the rest of them.
Tori Spelling is just not in a position to help anyone’s career. Plus, her husband is a scumbag. The only thing lower than having these two host your wedding, is if the wedding was hosted by Spencer & Heidi.
W…T…F? I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW.
I don’t care much for Gokey, but this makes me a little sad. Sorta like watching him walk off a cliff.
And this, for me, is the absolute reason why doing something like this is a little disconcerting. (And if this were Kris, Allison, or Adam my take would be the same).
You have just come off the cheesiest velveeta fest known to man and now you are going to have your name uttered as one with the cheesiest nacho flavored velveeta “reality” OTT wedding extravaganzas and mentioned in the same breath with Dean and Tori….what kind of terrific, fantastic, redeeming career moves is this.
Knowing the cheap shots of Mr. Ryan…I would say this is a little (no a lot) of biting humour directed at Mr. Gokey and Ryan will probably be laughing into his pillow most every night.
It’s a tough world out there. One season you’re performing in stadiums and a year later, you can’t even sell 5,000 albums your first week out. And Danny and cheese go great together. If Ryan doesn’t mind working w/losers and scumbags like Tori and hub, I think it’s ok for Danny as well. So I think it’s a fine gig for him. Adam and Kris will get top notch treatment. Third gets you nothing.
I think he’s not returning to Milwaukee and some small time career as a Christian singer as quickly as some expected. He’s a loose cannon for sure.
LOL – Ryan works with the Kardashians and Denise Richards. So, we already know that he’s got no standards. (Still love ya though Seacrest!).
Oops, seems I’m late to the Danny party.
What can I say… it’s a perfect Danny fit.
I’d imagine that Seacrest simply asked him, and Danny just thought that it was a nice idea. Danny seems like the type of guy, if you ask him to do something, he’ll say “sure thing”. Not a big deal, not a career-defining thing, and, as has been pointed out, not the first radio promotion a major Idol has ever been in. And Danny has blatantly said that a record deal is coming soon, so I doubt that he’s suddenly not getting signed, and that’s why he agreed to do this. Danny’s a good guy, and that pretty much explains why he would do this.
LOL
Double LOL
i heart you gokey….you are making my summers at the office a lot more entertaining
I agree with everything you said. Danny is the type who doesn’t take himself too seriously and he definately does not try to be too cool for school. He is who he is and he does not put on airs. I don’t think this gig will be a bad thing for him…it’s not like he is trying to become a rock star. He’ll be fine. I’m not saying Danny will tear up the music charts, and I’m not saying he won’t, but I think he will have a music career. That’s a good thing…it doesn’t happen for all of them.
I couldn’t help but to feel sorry for him… :surprised_wp: :sad_wp:
I’m wondering myself. Mark Bright (World Labels) went to the concert to see him singing last Friday the 17th and it’s a week over.. Danny must have not heard anything from him… hhhhmmmm
Ummm…I’m pretty sure Tori was cut out of the Spelling fortune. That’s why she’s forced to do stupid sh!t like this.
I love your reaction.. so funny.. :lol_tb:
Oh Danny boy the gigs, the gigs are calling
From rented halls AND from the hot buffets
Season Eight’s gone! And judges’ praise is fading!
Tis you, tis you, must go. And with relief I sigh.
But come ye BAAAAAACK when corny singing’s needed
When budgets’ tight, and expectations low!
Tis you’ll be here, for weddings and affordable corporate events call now for rates
Oh Danny boy, Oh Danny boy . . .I love . . .that cheesy show.
I hadn’t considered this from mj
before now. But of course the answer is “no,” he doesn’t know the Macarena, because it’s a secular song. And if he did, my brain is waiting to be bleached by his version of doing it’s dance. The hip thrusts. The hip thrusts. They burn, precioussss. They burn.
Ehem.. Kris and Adam already got their turn. They got a chance to do Ryan’s Gig and guest host in KIIS LA for their week end run when Ryan’s on vacation.. which everybody love them
Oh but do you really think that compares to a gig with Tori & Dean of the freaking Oxygen channel? Huh – I think not. Who would want thousands of radio listeners enjoying their show when they could sing a couple tunes for a hundred wedding guests? Did I mention Tori & Dean?
Those thrusts are made of love baby. A pure and godly love. Danny’s pelvis brings you a message straight from Jesus. Don’t look away.
Just to clarify:
Kris and Adam hosted American Top 40 for Ryan, which is a nationally syndicated weekly radio show. AT40 gets broadcasted across the country (it used to be hosted by Casey Kasem).
KIIS-FM is one of Ryan’s other jobs. KIIS is a local LA radio station, broadcast only in the LA metro market. Ryan hosts a weekday drive-time radio show on KIIS.
Given its national presence, appearing on AT40 is a bigger deal than participating in a local radio promotion on KIIS (just sayin’!).
Alright… let see this straight.. KIIS will mention Danny’s name few times that “Danny Gokey is going to sing at Your Wedding” translate “Danny Gokey is a Wedding Singer” If Danny in fact has a management/manager that advise him, this wouldn’t be their advise. IMO promotion to sing in a wedding is not a good promotion for Danny if he wants to be taken seriously as a recording artist. People will always be associated him with this gig, a wedding singer.
I think he should be more patient. Just because the AI8 tour ended doesn’t always mean that the other 7 singers will fall of the earth and doesn’t always mean that their fans won’t hear anything from them anymore. Look at Michael John and Carly Smithson, Melinda Doolittle…
Some things are just PRICELESS! LMAO.
I think Danny most certainly takes himself seriously, and that, by imitating Adam (plenty of evidence), he is trying to be cool.
Maturin: Brilliant!
Will the Wedding Dance be the Gokey Pokey?
Danny ,Tori and her hubby in a congo line sipping cheap whine shaking those mororcas..just hope it is a Horror flick and a monster give us some mercy..
@maturin:
Effing. Classic.
So, Kris and Adam hosted KIIS, huh? Well, good for them. Really. And I’d fully expect 19 to get the top 2 that kind of gig, availability willing.
‘Course, with the advent of AI9 in just over 4 month’s time, there will be less and less talk of Kris, Adam or Danny around here. And by this time next year, they will have all but disappeared from these pages save the occasional human interest piece posted by our illustrious Admin. It happens every year, so enjoy this environment while you can. That goes for you, too, Danny. As with any good Mexican grub, ya gotta get it while it’s hot.

Wow how nice of Ryan to be so supportive of Danny. I think.
PS What is next, Adam for a bar mitzvah? Kris for a christening? Allison for a prom? 19, I know times are tough but come on?
Hilarious! What the hell?
Yeah, I thought I was over my Danny animosity (Danimosity?), but I have to say this thread is hilarious.
:lol_tb:
I can’t even read the story. The headline itself is more than I can believe. Vote for the Worst will have a field day making fun of the “winning” couple.
Is that really a good thing to win? Can you just take the free trip to Hawaii and opt out of the Gokey singing part?
I know, right? Some of the stuff in that package is amazing, but then you are stuck with Gokey at your wedding. I’d take the godiva, the clothes, the venue and the trip, then hand Danny an iPod to oversee as he “djs”.
But then you still have to figure out how to get rid of Tori and her husband Dean the Douchebag. They’ll probably have microphones. And be interviewing your parents. Honestly, I think I’d rather have the Gokey than Dean.
Cut out or not, she’s still got the name and is way more part of the in crowd than Danny is at this point. Making Hollywood connections is always going to be a part of the game and big names are big names, wills and bequests be damned. Networking is pretty much the whole game. And you have to start anywhere that’s available to start.
Danny’s in no position to turn down things that aren’t sufficiently high-toned. In the business he’s in, that’s a recipe for a quick trip back to Milwaukee permanently.
I have never seen him imitate Adam. People keep saying that he all of a sudden started taking the jacket off, started wearing the chain, and leather jacket, and say that’s copying Adam.
He started taking his jacket off on the first night of the tour. It was always a part of his set.
He started wearing the hip chain thingy on AI. I think it was Miles Siggens’ idea actually. He also wore a leather jacket on AI. Again, Siggins told him that he should use his wardrobe money to buy this leather jacket that Danny liked but thought was too pricey.
Any dance move similarities (which I don’t think there are many, personally), I am sure stem from the fact that they both worked with the same “hot shot” choreographer that came during the rehearsals to help the idols figure out how to work the stage for their sets.
Well, do you know what a radio tour is like? Days of slogging through the country, being made fun of by cheesy djs at all kinds of stations, performing acoustic concerts at 8 in the morning for a handful of local fans, having the djs mispronounce your name and ask you repeatedly the exact same stupid questions that you wish nobody’d ever ask you again, having them make snarky remarks about you on the air after you’ve left, with no guarantee that they’ll ever even play your music? There are quite a few weddings and bar mitzvahs that would look good to you after one of those grueling experiences. And it’s all done in the same cause as this — getting and keeping your name out there in front of people who may, might, possibly, maybe, perhaps support you in some way. No different. And that’s what they’ll do constantly, even the top ones. And Danny came in third and has not yet been signed. He doesn’t have a lot of options. Beggars — and that’s what he is at this point — famously can’t be choosers!
This is tacky on so many levels it isn’t even funny. Gokey will never be taken seriously until he stops running his mouth and taking on cheesey gigs. His window of opportunity is fast running out!
I keep waiting for a reason to stop thinking this is ridiculous…and I just can’t. And I’m really, really trying.
The wedding singer is still not up ont VFTW’s website. What, they don’t read mj’s blog anymore? FOR SHAME, DAVE.
Okay I understand people are having fun here.
Just want to provide a couple of points and put things into perspective
Many artists much more famous than Danny, or Kris or Adam for that matter do private gigs. Every idol has a “price’, as long as you can pay the price and is approved by the management, you can have say Carrie Underwood sing at your wedding.
I checked the site, am particularly interested in the prize the winner will get, and if all the prizes are being given out as promised, including the jewellery etc, it will very well be close to half a million (just the jewellery is $250K), plus I am sure this event will be much publicized and it should be great for the artist who performs. How many artists have a chance to sing in a production like that? I don’t know if Danny will eventually be a “wedding singer” but he will sing in a pretty extravangant wedding production certainly with some degree of publicity attached to it.
Danny is “begging” for this gig, really? If this is how Ryan Seacrest got his guests, did Adam & Kris beg Ryan to appear on the T40 show?
Danny was approached to do this gig, and I believe this shows the organizer feels Danny is the ideal person to sing romantic love songs, plus they also see his growing popularity based on audience/fan reactions at the concerts, that’s why they “booked” him. I have a feeling that other idol contestants would jump to do this gig if asked had it not been taken by Danny.
Will see how things turn out. But based on some previous “predictions” in this blog, like Danny will be booed off stage in concert, and the washrooms will have huge lineup during his performances, etc, I am thinking this gig again may prove the nay sayers wrong and it could turn out to be a great one for Danny.
I had to check out VFTW to get their take on this. And actually found Chris Sligh posting and the Danny thread and saying interesting things. This is so on the $:
“it was unfathomable to me while on the Idol tour that I could be as successful at anything as much or more than Blake. On tour, the dude was unstoppable. It was a learning experience to see how little Idol success has to do with real success.
And that was my point with my last post. Danny is hugely popular right now. And that can be a little deceiving. It’s hard to realize in the moment that the same kids and fraus who are screaming for you now will be screaming for someone else once the next season of Idol comes around. ”
Truest words ever.
Exactly. And not just Idol contestants. Most of the young singers out there, and quite a few older ones as well. Bet on it.
High profile gig for Danny – who better to do this than Danny of the top 4?
He is after all the crooner – Come Rain or Shine, You Are So Beautiful. This is what he does best.
I think this does define him as a wedding singer, not the kind of label he should want at this point in his career. On the other hand, it seems appropriate and I think he is about the cheese and always will be, and the thing is, a lot of people embrace “cheese” and aren’t “cool” or jaded, and don’t want to be. So while he’s not my cup of tea, I think a lot of people do like him, the same people who adore weddings, the Bachelorette, and all that jazz. So to each their own. I’m not going to make fun of Danny. He’s just not for me.
That’s it. The solution to Danny’s next career move. It’s time to remake the Wedding Singer!! I’d give Danny the part of Jimmie Moore played by John Lovitz in the movie. Here’s a clip:
Jimmie Moore – The Wedding Singer
Adam was also up for the part, but Danny just was so much better for it!! Instead, I cast Adam in three cameo spots that only he could fill. (He’ll get to dress up and get 3 different hair styles, and makeup!!)
Here’s my suggeston for the entire AI8 cast:
Adam Sandler … Robbie, the sweet, soulful singer/sonwriter — Kris Alen
Drew Barrymore … Julia, the slightly edgy young girl with a raspy voice — Alison
Christine Taylor … Holly, Julia’s hot blond friend — Megan
Allen Covert … Sammy, the limo driver, who tries so hard to be cool and a lady’s man — Matt
Jon Lovitz … Jimmie Moore the other wedding singer who does the “sexy dance” — Danny
Matthew Glave … Glenn, the junk-bond dealer boyfriend — Michael (sorry, but Michael is the right body type – he’ll just have to act like an a-hole)
Ellen Albertini Dow … Rosie, the ditzy old lady who Robbie give singing lessons to — Paula The Wedding Singer – Rapper’s Delight (Ellen Albertini Dow)
Angela Featherstone … Linda, Robbie’s ex girlfriend who thinks she sooooo hot — Kara
Alexis Arquette … George the singer who loves Boy George — Adam – yes, makeup and colorful dreds!
Frank Sivero … Andy Billy Idol … Himself in the original — but Adam in the remake because Billy is too old now. Yes, Adam bare chested in black leather and chains!
Kevin Nealon … Mr. Simms, the bank manager who won’t give Robbie a job — Simon Cowell
Marnie Schneider … Joyce, Flight Attendant who helps Robbie — Lil
Robert Smigel … Andre, the groom’s brother in law who wants to be a singer — Anoop
Mark Beltzman … Vegas Air Ticket Agent with the Flock of Seagulls hairdo — Adam in his third role! But who else could pull off that hair do!!
Al Burke … Large Billy Idol Fan on plane — Randy
Member of the Robbie Hart band, on keyboards – Scott
I have been laughing at Danny all day. I never though the fool would provide such entertainment value.
Now here’s what a cool wedding looks like. This clip has gone viral and in only a few days has 1,600,000 hits:

Danny isn’t trying to imitate Adam. Adam didn’t invent wearing chains, leather jackets, dancing or twirling the mike stand. Now if Danny starts wearing blue eyeshadow, workign the mikestand, or sings a ballad sitting on a chair surrounded by blue light and stands at the dramatic moment in the song, then I’ll be the first to say that he’s imitating Adam.
Danny was interested in dancing long before Idol and he really has improved in his stage presentation a lot since he walked on Idol.
And Siggens is responsible for Danny’s new style. I don’t think that Siggens did Danny any favors by being so obvious about trying to make Danny “cool”. Even before the finals, they were working on Danny’s image, changing his glasses, clothes, etc. IMO the glasses were good, the rest not so good. What do the chains have to do with who Danny is? Some of is is just not authentic and authenticity should have been one of Danny’s most important image factors.
jpfan – thanks for the quote, truest word ever indeed. But I hope you’re not thinking this quote applies only to Danny, cos I think Adam and to a lesser extent Kris are also “hugely popular” right now.
