Danny Gokey Love$$$ 'American Idol'

Believe it or not, the best part of "American Idol" actually isn't having 12-year-old girls screaming your name, because according to Danny Gokey, it's all about the "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. MONNNNNNEY!"

He requested we not air that part. Whoops.

32. I was under the impression that Gokey wanted to make music that 'moved people' (were those his words?) He said it backstage when he, Kris and Adam were talking about why they went on the show. Adam basically said he was an attention-getting whore. Well, he's always been pretty straight about that. Kris just wanted to make people happy with his music (I think). What's going on with Gokey? What happened to the message he wanted to get out to the people? Sorry, he was my second favorite contestant when AI started and I can hardly stand him now. Gene should tell HIM to shut up. LOL

33. A perk is a fringe benefit. Money is the perk of being on AI, not the reason for being on the show.

34. The only douches are the hosts of TMZ. All they are a bunch of celibrity stalking wannabes who once they get a celebrity on camera take it back to the studio and edit it to make the celebrity look bad so that they can stand around and talk about how the celebrity is a douche. These people are prosititutes for whatever small change they make on the website and show. And, the only reason they are associated with TMZ is because they could never make it in the legitimate world of journalism or in the entertainment industry. Talk about douches! Also all you haters who act like sheep and just believe and repeat what you hear on shows like TMZ are just as big a pitiful as they are.

Also, most of the Danny haters resent that Danny is hot, sexy, turns scores of women on and exudes the kind of animal magnatism that is threatening to their own manhood. And, the few women who don't like him are probably listening to their insecure boyfriends. Any other women who don't like Danny just can't admit they could never handle a guy as manly as Danny is.

35. Yeah, Danny, it is time to loose those wings. Everyone needs money, but Danny Gokey is always presented by his fans as this pure soul who is only interested in helping others.

37. I thought this was funny. I love Danny! Why must people hate on him. Get over it. & by the way Danny didn't spend the money on just glasses...the ones he got during Idol were all free. Most of his money goes to Sophia's Heart Foundation.

40. YOU ALL DO GRASP THE CONCEPT OF A JOKE, RIGHT? HOPEFULLY, YOU YOURSELVES ARE JOKING AROUND AND NOT SERIOUSLY JUDGING A MAN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ( A MAN WHO, IF YOU NOTICED, KEPT TELLING CAMERA DUDE TO WATCH OUT FOR TREES AND SIGNPOSTS AS TO NOT HURT HIMSELF).
REALLY, LAPTOP GANGSTERS, IF YOUR LIVES ARE SO BEREFT OF SUBSTANCE THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT HATE ON SOMEONE THAT YOU'VE NEVER MET WHO'S STATION IN LIFE IS BETTER THAN YOURS, GO RIGHT AHEAD. IT'LL JUST MAKE THAT PERSON'S SUCCESS SWEETER.
...I PERSONALLY THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.

ON A SIDE NOTE, I HIGHLY DOUBT LIL ROUNDS WEARS MORE EYELINER THAN MADAM LAMBERT.

41. Just when I thought KaraokeGokey could not become more of a huge douchbag he proves me wrong. "Don't air that part." Sorry, tard, now 19E has to pay up. bahaha No wonder no one wants to sign him. Pastor Rolex to the rescue!

42. Anoop's a very handsome young man!

43. Danny Gokey is adorable! He is super talented! I'm tired of people saying bad things about him. He is a sweet, funny, talented, handsome, genuine man. Make that "money, money, money"; there is nothing wrong with that. ;)
Even though he didn't win American Idol he won my heart! (yelling in a high pitched voice) I LOVE DANNY GOKEY!

44. DANNY - Don't know if you signed anything yet, but you really should look into working with David Foster. I am sure someone will know how to contact him, he might even be at his place in Malibu. The two of you could really do great things together, both musically and for children everywhere. Also, if you are reading this, or someone who knows you is ( as u probably checked this ut before this post, if ur even up for reading this online stuff anymore ) I saw your tweet on twitter about being hungry. You might want to take Anoop, Matt and Lil to Versailles on La Cienga, just south of Pico. Great Cuban Food, relaxed atmosphere.. garlic chicken that melts in your mouth, You guys can use the garlic, great for your voices. Sometimes I miss LA, lots of great restaurants, less frantic than my home town New York, and much better weather !Take care Danny - You have lots of people rooting for you out here... Don't let the people with the hormonal profile of t highschool girls, masquarading as hater posters get you down ! Glad all you guys are having fun. Miss you all ~
