Danny Gokey is Going Country

Danny Gokey tells Entertainment Weekly in an Idolatry interview that the direction he's taking for his album is to record country music. Now, some country music fans will buy just about any formulaic crap put out (see: Carrie Underwood), but we can't think of any way Gokey can legitimize himself as a country artist. Country music fans are also some of the harshest critics, and if they think Gokey's a fake, he's gonna get an earful. This is why we are happy he chose country music: the new few months should be hilarious!

So he's a 'christian' being interviewed by a site calling itself 'idolatry', and he'll be singing 'country' that doesn't sound like 'country' but it's 'country' because of the message. And I suppose that message would be: Idolize me! What a douchebag.

I don't think there is supposed to be an O in this kind of Cuntry!

Not to be some kind of defender of Carrie Underwood, but I think Carrie was always a country artist and never tried to "capitalize" on some perceived country vibe. Heck she would have been just as popular as a pop artist.

Douchekey on the other hand is a total fucking pretender and the country community will see that. Knowing two Rascal Flatts songs is not the same thing...especially when you've essentially said in the press that a country career is a "last resort."

Fuck you Gokey. You're not worthy to lick George Strait's boots.

He'll be about as successful as Jessica Simpson. If only a huge country audience could make him cry,too!!!eleventy!!1 Maybe they should record a duet!

So Gokey is going to be singing the same genre that gave us Reba and Taylor Swift. That should be interesting.

Alexis Grace made the same mistake. They should both fail joyfully (for us).
