Danny Gokey Tweets from the BMI Awards

Danny Gokey attended the BMI awards in Nashville last night. Here are a few tweets from the ceremony:

Just walked the red carpet @ the BMI award show~I have the honor of walking the red carpet @ the CMA’s 2morow~All this dreaming has paid off

Wow I met Keith Urban. He proceded to introduce me 2 Nicole Kidman & said that she got him into American idol & that they were cheering 4 me

I was told by a few media outlets that Keith & Nicole liked me while I was n american idol. Now I heard it first-hand~Amazing! Never give up

Aw, nice story about Nicole and Keith. Tonight, Danny walks the red carpet at the CMA awards. Lots of Idols representing tonight, including: Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler and Daughtry.

Country princess, Taylor Swift won the big award, Song of the Year, for “Love Story”. She won last year, too.

I’ll be live blogging the CMA’s tonight, so stay tuned!

    That’s interesting if they are broadcasting the CMA pre-show events live in Tampa, including Danny. I had thought maybe that was a radio interview from the scene being carried live in FL.

    I think as Danny gets more established, the media will have more knowledgeable questions to ask him. A lot of them seem to start with fairly superficial questions like about his glasses, or personal subjects like his wife. I saw another video interview today, where it was about halfway through before they moved off the personal questions to ask about his new single and an upcoming performance planned for their market area. They seemed to have good rapport with Danny, though.

    It was interesting that at least one if not both of the co-interviewers asked Danny questions that were quite faith-oriented, and made direct acknowledgement of their own religious beliefs. I knew that a lot of the country audience would have that in common with Danny. It was striking to see it so explicitly with country media personalities as well.

    Aw, I would love to see Danny on the red carpet. It starts in a few minutes, right? I’ll try that link above, thanks Jx223.

    And welcome back to aek, I saw on another thread that you had some trouble with your internet. There was a Danny thread a few days ago where I didn’t see you and wondered where you were!

    I love the Keith Urban/Nicole story. Can you imagine what it would be like for Danny to have one of the most beautiful actresses in the world giggling about his “kind eyes”? Must seem surreal sometimes!

    No idea how Danny managed never to see that. I would have thought one of his relatives at least would have sent it to him. First time I saw it, definitely thought Nicole was just a bit smitten.

  • Jx223:

    Here is what someone from Nashville just posted on Twitter about Danny and Diana DeGarmo.

    d_stout: Danny Gokey and Dianna DeGarmo just embraced right in front of me!

  • JosieX:

    I am not having the greatest luck with the livestream, hopefully there will be videos of Danny’s interviews.

  • Jx223:

    I haven’t seen Danny yet but I did see Carrie and Chris Daughtry get interviewed by CMT. And I saw a glimpse of Kellie Pickler.

  • JosieX:

    Kellie looks good, I like the red hair.

    Danny was just interviewed by Tampa DJ Dave McKay from the Red Carpet. Danny talked about his glasses, HE and Dave exchanged glasses, Dave said he couldnt see with Danny’s glasses on, and that he now has 75 pairs. He said he always wanted to go country after AI, he then talked a lot about Sophie’s foundation, and how it helps people, he kinda went on about that.

    Darn, and I missed it,:-(. I am from the Tampa Bay area. I don’t usually watch ABC, but my son and I stayed tuned for the news after DWTS and the Robin Roberts country special. On the news they showed Dave McKay talk to Gretchen Wilson last night about why she would not be at the CMA’s. I hope that interview with Dave shows up on line and can’t wait for pics of Danny,too. I don’t know
    how much we will see of him,
    considering he is not that well known yet. When Phil Stacey was at the awards shows during his country run, all I could spot was his head and him and wife Kendra in the background while the bigger artists were getting interviewed.

  • CFIdolsfan:

    I guess we should look out for a thread that mj may begin about the awards show. I may post in it as I am able during the evening.

  • justjude:

    Danny……Looking very fine in his red carpet threads UH,HUH!!!

    Yup, I do think he landed in country clover.

    Best of Luck to you Danny and I’m tickled for you re Nichole Kiddman
    and Keith Urban. So exciting!

  • steph6449:

    A video showed up online from the Tampa Bay radio interview. They do focus on Danny’s bio and non-profit foundation quite a bit, but start talking about his single and path into country music ~halfway through.

    Interesting to hear Danny describe in person that incident with Randy Travis approaching him behind the scenes during country week to consider country music. (Had been mentioned in the press release when Danny was signed, but otherwise hadn’t been publicly known.)
