Like Denise Richards’ E! reality series, the relationship between Idolatry and Danny Gokey is complicated. But when we caught up with American Idol’s season 8 second runner-up during the Idols Live tour stop in Albany, NY, Danny took control of the interview for a hot minute to ask me some tough questions of his own, and to give a shout-out to his nemesis, Idolatry co-host Kristen Baldwin. Press play below to hear what he had to say, click here to see our chat with Kris Allen (he’s got new collaborators!), and stay tuned in the days ahead for more Albany interviews with Mr. Gokey (he’s picking a genre!), Matt Giraud (he’s been writing!), Megan Joy (she’s not just just pursuing singing, folks!), Lil Rounds (she’s a bedazzler!), and of course, ANOOP DESAI (he’s always on our minds)! (Also, special word of warning to Kradison fans: Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta had the day off from the promotional grind during the Albany pit-stop, so we have no new footage of them. Sads! But Kris brought Wolfgang the Skunk to our sit-down, and that’s cause for celebration! Also, my mom’s exact quote, screamed wildly during Adam’s “Whole Lotta Love” performance: “COME TO MAMA!” Oh, mom.)

It sounds like your mom had a great time at the concert! yay!
I by no means am a Danny fan, but it’s nice to see him turn the tables on Slezak. Here’s a heart for Kristen, that was funny.
Hahahaha, so glad to see Clumsy making a comeback! Oh how I’ve missed Idolatry.
BLLOULLU BLLLOUULLU
at least danny’s more relaxed this time… i liked that he even joked around and seemed less serious than he did the last interview …
That was so funny, it made my night. Thanks Michael.
I love, love, LOVE Idolatry
DIED laughing. DIED.
I’ve missed you Slezak!!!
A heart for Kristen, good one Danny! That was funny. He deserves to get one shot in after you guys broiled him during the season. Nonetheless, love your work Mr. Slezak. You’re such a fanboy.
p.s. your mom is a woman after my own heart. I want a whole yardstick of Adam’s love.
LOL a “yardstick”. That’s amazing.
Sure it isn’t an inch worm?
That was so funny. I want Kristen to mend Danny’s wounded heart, ha!
Let’s be honest, what would this season have been without Danny Gokey? Sure, Adam blows us away, Kris charms us and Allison rocks us hard. But Danny is a true gift, a never-ending source of amusement. Oh Danny, don’t ever change! <3
Do you mean who else would we have hated on or laughed at then yes you’re right. I could’ve done without his “singing” all season though.
Well, gotta thank Danny for those LOL and WTF moments he gave us. Not to mention, he showed us everything that is wrong with American Idol. Props to Gokey for that. As for his singing, I’d rather he be in reality TV than in music.
love danny! hope kristin w/glasses & michael are feeling the danny love.
wishing danny the best for his record deal and future career, great that he’s stayed with it despite the grief he’s taken from some folk along the way.
I can’t wait for the Anoop interview.
