Daughtry Producer Says Danny Gokey Doesn't Have a Future in Music
Neil Lambert Isn't a VFTW Fan
It seems that Neil Lambert, Adam Lambert's brother, has been posting at SomethingAwful.com. And he has some choice words about VFTW that read much like the hilarious hate mail we always get:
"I can't stand browsing their forums. It's like a giant circle jerk for all the kids who hate poo poo just because the majority likes it. They're the kids that were into Hot Topic until everyone else was into it. Then, even though the same clothes were being sold, they emphatically rejected it.
I could care less about them, true, but what makes me angry is the inevitable posting of "VFTW Victory!!!" everywhere with that loving rage-inducing smiley they use upon Adam losing the competition (which is a very real possibility). The millions of Gokey fans who vote en masse for Kris should claim the victory, not a handful of bitchy queens who use words like "fug" in serious conversation."
Seriously, Neil? Poo poo? Hot Topic? But hey, the bitchy queens on this site can't really hate you that much, because you love to mock Gokey as much as we do. So right on there, brother.
"Like I've always said, the only thing that would have sent me flying into a rage would have been a Gokey victory... Adam will be fine no matter what. He's got a lot of people knocking on his door. Besides the shame of having someone as lame as Gokey beating him, it might even be better for him to get 2nd."
Danny Gokey and Michael Sarver in Hot Water Over Video
This video was posted to Michael Sarver's blog, then summarily removed when viewers took offense to a line. In it, Danny says that he loves Michael... but then clarifies in the right, Godly way. Come on, guys. Michael then responsed to the whole thing:

Just want to say to those offended by this video that I am sorry you were offended. I did not intend that. In a world where I love u between guys can mean more then one thing we just wanted to clarify the status of our relationship. It had nothing to do with passing judgement.
So he wanted to clarify that he and Gokey aren't gay? As if anyone thought that. Neither of them are attractive enough to be gay. Much ado about nothing, but it's always funny to see Idols forget to watch what they say.
(Thanks to MJ's Big Blog for keeping us up on the internet drama, haha.)

Danny Gokey Says He Wants to Model
Danny Gokey is Gone, Bwahahaha
Sure, we voted for him. But we hated him too. And it's hilarious to see Danny Gokey fail epically before the finale. Pastor Rolex must be crying in his fancy car right now. It just goes to show that if you pimp your dead wife for votes, eventually you end up universally hated and as the VFTW pick. Gokey gone was so worth the votes. We just wish he had to sing "Dream On" on the way out again. Bye bye, Danny, see ya never!
Vote for Danny Gokey 1-866-436-5701, 04, and 07
Danny Gokey needs to make the finale. Adam Lambert is the clear judges' favorite. Simon literally begged for people to vote for him. Pathetic. Kris Allen is the one who would sell tons of records to little girls. Where does that leave Danny? How about singing a lame version of "You Are So Beautiful" and dancing like a douche? This guy is a train wreck for 19E and they would not want to sign him. So let's make them. If Danny stays, Kris's fans will be angry as hell. And we need more hate mail. So think of that while you vote. 1-866-IDOLS-01, 1-866-IDOLS-04, and 1-866-IDOLS-07. You can dial any of the 3 to get through, so vote as much as you can.
Music producer Howard Benson, who has produced songs for Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson, told MTV News that he isn't excited about the prospects of a Danny Gokey record. Benson had this to say:
Well, duh. That's why VFTW picked him. Gokey's record is going to tank miserably. Though should we be listening to the advice of someone who worked with shit like the band Daughtry? Well, he doesn't like Gokey, so he at least has some common sense.
