In case you were living under a rock last night, Danny Gokey was sent home during the results show on American <\/a>Idol.
\nI’ve been predicting that Kris would be in the final two<\/a>; I figured it would be Adam joining him, until Simon asked voters to vote for Adam on Tuesday night. Often, those judge’s comments can backfire, so until yesterday afternoon I thought there was a chance for a Danny\/Adam showdown.
\nDon’t get me wrong; up until a couple of weeks ago I thought Danny would win this season. But the last few weeks I’ve seen Kris grow by leaps and bounds as an artist, so by the end of April I had a sneaking suspicion that Danny might be in trouble.<\/p>\n


\nNot that leaving Idol is a bad thing. He’s still going to tour through the summer with the other 9 finalists, and believe me, there are labels waiting to sign him. My guess is the Christian market is waiting to scoop him up.
\nAnd let’s not forget what a great inspiration he’s been to millions of viewers. In the video above, you can see that despite the joy of his Idol experience, the grief over his wife’s death <\/a>is still fresh, 10 months later. God is working through him, and we haven’t heard the last of Danny Gokey.
