the producers of American Idol are obviously singling out Danny Gokey as their favorite, but i would like to see him win so i don’t mind
Danny !!!!!!

Danny, It must be hard to perform in a way because of losing your wife, but I know she is very very proud of you. This is what you need now. Don’t lose your focus on your ministry though. I too was a widow, a little older, age of 32 but you can make it. God Bless and no matter if you get number 1, you are already #1 in the eyes of God. Stay strong….Ithink you are the best they have.
