  • Jamar worked it out.

  • Can anyone tell me where I can find an online bio for Danny? I would really like to learn more about him and all I can find is a little recent info — mostly about his church work. Thanks.

  • To undercooked:

    As far as I can tell, Danny went to public high school in Milw. WI — Vincent High School.

    Wiki is probably the closest you’ll get, and it’s not much. He was a pre-Idol nobody, really.

  • I sincerely believe if they had let both Danny and Jamar into the top 36 that Jamar would still be there and Gokey probably would have gone home in fifth place. It shoulda been you Jamar. Wouldn’t Iraheta, Rodgers, Lambert, and Allen have been the best final 4 ever?

  • 3Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be fine..He knows like I do that even if he croaks like a frog for 90 second heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll still get enough votes for the finaleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.last week proved that

    That kind of says it all doesn’t it? Some people don’t care that this is actually a singing contest. Some do.

    My point exactly

    Yes, it is a singing contest.
    And Danny, TRUTHFULLY, is a great singer who deserves to be there! Just AS much as Adam!
    Adam (angel of light) is overhyped. His OTT manner of performing does not a great singer make!

    Ha. I feel the same way about Kris. I like him, but I feel like his voice, in no way, shape, or form, compares to Danny’s.

    I think Adam can sing the best. I think much of this comes from his training and experience. But Adam is leaps and bounds above the others.

    However, I will say that I actually like Danny’s tone of voice better than Adam’s. I do feel like Danny needs both experience and training.

    Mileage and variance, LOL! To me he doesnt..And in my opinion you dont have to like Adam’s style to dislike Danny…..Let’s assume Lambert isnt even in the competition for 5 seconds, I would still think Danny’s a medicore singer at best, just my opinion

    And Danny’s casted as the Angel of light in the script…I thnk?

  • Ha. I feel the same way about Kris. I like him, but I feel like his voice, in no way, shape, or form, compares to Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s.

    I think the same, actually, as much as I talk smack about Gokey, his voice is stronger than Kris’s by a mile..I guess for me neither should have been top 3

    Yeah, I feel like I’m being mean when I say it about Kris, but it really is obvious. I was just watching back the show where they are all singing School is Out For the Summer. Adam sings, Kris sings, and then Danny sings. Kris’s voice just does not have as much meat in it…if that makes any sense. It really jumps out at you when he is singing with the others…and of course Allison included.

    I know that Kris has his talents and he is as cute as he can be, seriously. But if I’m just looking at it from a singing competition standpoint, he is the one that should have been out last week instead of Allison. Of course, Danny bombed on rock week, but he is still a better singer than Kris. As Danny said himself, he “bit off a song that was bigger than him.”

    Of course this is all my opinion….I’m sure many will disagree. :smile_wp:

  • Danny has a bigger voice than Kris but then again, I like that Kris is a better musician than Danny.

  • Did he get together with his friends during his home visit for some of their special brand of “fun”?

    As depicted below from a previous church party.

    Really, who in the 21st century thinks it is acceptable to black your face up?

    What’s with the men in drag as well? Talk about hypocritical.
