  • I love the slow beginning, his vocals are absolutely brilliant.

  • freak i'm still listening to it..

  • He should have won =(

  • I think his voice is perfect for this kind of music.

    I love the way he changed a song and made it sounds unique :)

    (Hahahaha I just saw that number of all comments is 666, mine comment will be 667th :))

  • This is crazy good. smooth jazz.

  • impresionante la voz de danny gokey... a pesar de haberlo escuchado hace tiempesito y en vivo, sigue vibrando su voz en los oídos de todos sus fans... tiene una excelente voz. There's not lines to the music, music is universal, it's the only language everyone can understand...

  • danny should have won..

  • @hattiehedgehog apparently, a lot of americans liked, like and will like kris allen. so get used to it. :)

  • i honestly believed that it shouldve been allison and danny at the finals they were both AH-MA-ZING! instead of chris and adam yea those two were good but not as good as allison and danny

  • i didn't like anything kris did he was just average however danny is brilliant and should have been in the final with adam

  • Well done ! :D

  • i love this song

  • Your videos are amazing, keep em coming :Dxxx and i love him ( adam and allison then him ) ;) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • IMO, the most talented male vocalist that Idol has ever had. Please vote for Danny at theacas.com for breakthrough artist of the year.

  • awsome...

  • For those of you asking how Danny lost to Kris, the answer is simple. Kris never had a trainwreck. Danny performed Dream On and that was the end of his finale spot. Kris also improved to where he was better than Danny, like Top 3 Heartless. Danny performed Hero and then flatlined.

  • What Danny AND Matt G were in this one and they lost to KRIS ALLEN!?! Wth. He's great and all but they are clearly more talented.

  • seriously if adam wasn't gonna win anyways y couldnt danny win? my mom and i used to bond over american idol cuz we both love this show so much and my mom would obsess over this guy. such a beutiful voice...so rich... my mom stopped watching recently cuz its just not good anymore :(

  • this is such a good singer you are the best if your won idols or not you will make it ! danny rulez

  • such a nice version of a classic song love it :(

  • RocketDommtLane, IMO It wouldn't make much sense to try to karioki the great B E King's arrangement, but your wellcome to your opinion too. I love this unique arrangement. It's fit's Dannys voice control, and range perfectly. BTW I've seen Danny live in concert...Whooo hoo!, He absolutely blows the arena away just walking out on the stage! It's well worth the trip.

  • I know this will be controversial, but I semi hate this. It's sung very well, but I feel like it's over sung & he put way too many runs in it. Stand by Me is one of those songs that's more powerful just stripped down like the original.

  • danny how did u loose 2 kris. ur very good

  • my ex use to sing this song to me before we went to sleep.it's soo beautiful.

  • OMFG yuh my fav since the beginging i want yuh in this yearr yuhhh rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk iluuuuuuu

    yuh should have wonnn

  • wow..very different...:) nice

  • @craigbendall7

    this is beautiful music so what r u talking about?

  • Love this version but his live performance of this song was amazing. The power and his presence on the stage was unbelievable. That goes for all of his performances. Simon said it best many times "you are one heck of a singer".

  • Boy, what a voice, clean, refreshingly tuneful amongst most of the new artistes. This is his version and it works.

  • Please support Danny and buy his cd, it is simply amazing!

  • So glad to hear about the CD. Havn't picked it up yet, but i'm gonna today. Can't wait to get it! Wow, with this 'bosa-nova' beat it shows he can sing anything, any genre! Fantastic voice!

  • I LOVE the CD, there is not one song i have to fast forward through ! Can't say that about any other CD I have.!

  • Danny was great on Idol and his cd is now out, I highly recommend it.

  • Hi guys,

    Would someone please refresh my memory as to when Danny will be on American Idol?

    I want to set my Tivo to tape that show, so i dont miss it.

  • Country,soul,rock,inspirationa­l, that's my description of Danny's cd, and one more word amazing, amazing cd and amazing voice!

  • first audition he hit me with his soulful voice and knew he would go to the top, simply marvelous and infectious!

  • iAm a GREAT fAn of YOurs

    We hEre In The PHilippiNes Are LookIng FOrwARd sEeing You PErForm live

    We Love U SO mUCh

    And FOr US U Do not Just DeSErVE to BE An AMERICAN iDOl

    you merit to BE EVERYONE's IDOL

    ^^,

  • Danny's cd comes out on March 2.

  • I love this version a lot. Go Danny! :) I look forward to seeing what he comes up with in his career.

  • i can't understand why danny didn't win idol... his voice is simply phenomenal. "vocal masterclass" as what simon calls it

  • @elevon i guess ppl vote for looks?

  • @hhhkkkhhhjkjki I took it off my TiVO season pass this year. Your mom sounds like someone with taste ~

  • @elevon i also like danny gokey to be the winner... ive just wondered why he wasn't.. actually i really idolize him and his voice... he is truly an idol and i've learned great music techniques from his voice especially the song ; "what hurts the most"

  • Great guitar work in the background....

  • wow....enjoyed it version ...love it...:)

  • I was so shocked that he didn't win...I think he must have been to professional...

  • Beautiful vocals, great voice control and I love this version. It has added life to an old song. Danny is such an awesome singer! I can't wait for his single on December 22 and his cd in march.

  • Hi, I was just at Amazon, and it is saying the MP3 version will be available for download Monday, the 21st.

    Just thought i would let you know.

  • gr8stuffis, thanks for the info, if you do not have an MP3 player and want to just download it to your computer, will it work?

  • Danny,

    This is a truly exquisite cover. Just beautiful....I love your rendition of this old classic.

    How in the world did you ever lose to Kris? No offense to Kris--he is sweet and talented, too.

    But, your voice has a richness and depth that his will never have.

  • So... yes, when Danny's calls wouldn't go through, we voted for Kris. How else does one retaliate against a TV show? It wasn't planned or organized. It was an automatic response of angry people. And obviously the majority liked the type of music Kris does, better than what Adam does. And it was fair to vote Kris. We liked him more than the alternative.

  • Any one in the Wisconsin area codes can tell you all why Danny 'lost'. Their calls were bumped!  No one could make more than 20 calls in the whole time allotted to vote. The blogs were full of the complaints. If you looked up the contract between contestants and A I ,it states that they reserve the right to accept or reject any calls as they see fit. I guess Adam's win was more important than truthfulness. Calls to Kris & Adam went through! Go figure.

  • Wow.. I never knew he had sang this song lmfao delayed reaction

  • how the hell did kris beat him out??????

  • Beats the heck out of US ~

    Someone told me it was because he was in college and had a hugh band of ruthless, tech savvy, competitive people power voting for him. I know Lambert did for sure, if you google his name and power voting tons of stuff comes up. Well that is if they left it up. If not, i have hard copies to prove it. Actually Kris won over Lambert, because they marginally beat out Danny the week before, and now Danny's fans voted for Kris.

  • actually theres proof from i dont know where that kris only won because the AI voting thing made 1 vote of kris = 10 votes so automatically kris can get another 0 at the back of all the votes he got xD im still not so sure about this tho

  • @ Dynamic Dexter, From what i understand, there is a computer program that does this. Kris' tech savvy, in their competitive years, university brothers and sisters, knew this, as did Adam's tech savvy friends, who advertised such in their well organized hype network. I even caught some of them soliciting people from other countries to vote and saying they could make it happen. I don' t think that all of Danny's fans were angels but i do think they might have been more moral and less techy.

  • you are the best not kris allen

  • wut do u mean poor effort?

  • Just another gay hater, that hated Danny for being the one that could have beat Adam, and the hated Danny for his votes knocking adam out of the running anyway.. LOL.. check him out on this vid where he said that the black guy gave him wood.

  • lol which video was that?

  • IU's Straight No Chaser - Stand By Me

  • "Danny Gokey, who made it to the last 3, gives a rousing performance in Stand By Me. It is refreshing to see that he has done it his way. Gokey's voice control is remarkable. He is able to soar and also register the lower notes smoothly" Shuib Taib of NewStraits Times commenting on the AI8 Top 10 CD

  • Thanks for the review Kokkoho, I see that this studio version of Danny's is as popular in China as it is in Canada, as well as Australia. It is nice to know that our sisters and brothers in other countries have great taste in music !

  • hes amazing

  • Danny has incredible vocals. He has an "ole school" soul. I mean to say he has great style to mix Jazz, blues& soul, and of course his true strength, which is his faith. It is AWSOME to hear a young voice that has a clean heart felt message these days... I wish Danny much success for many years to come.

    GOD BLESS

  • Check out my channel for a BEHIND THE SCENES interview with AMERICAN IDOL DANNY GOKEY

    What are his post idol plans? What has been his favorite memory from tour? What did Kris Allen do during our interview that made him laugh so hard?

    What are his thoughts on the Paula Abudul situation? What is life like behind the scenes on Idol? Does he have any regrets?

    All of this plus teasing between KRIS & DANNY, Post IDOL Plans and more behind the scenes info! All videos and interviews are in HD!!

  • this is a huge twist!!! buit its sweet

  • Danny, this is a truly good cover! . Love the contemporary flavor. I'm glad to hear you were signed! I know you will have a good singing career. God Bless....

  • Has he been signed yet??

  • Natural born talent + Parents cultivating a singing background = what we have today. A musical prodigy that has the most control over his voice that i have seen for years. When he sings he belts it out with that voice and all the feeling in the words makes for a magical performance each time.

  • I'm sure his wife is really happy and proud to have a husband like Danny<3

    Danny's such a talented+good-hearted person he'S Amazing!!

  • Almost every cover he has done is better than the original.

  • Comment removed

  • YJPY, I completely agree with you.

  • david archuleta's is really good too but i feel this one has a little more feeling and i like the funk factor haha

  • dude, Danny Gokey can really sing well....i like his songs alot...wish he was on the radio!

  • Love ya, Danny. Keep singing forever.

  • Danny is really amazing and he looks like Robert Downey Jr., who is gorgeous.

  • i love this version and danny but truthfully archie's version is better for me

  • no need to hate on him. danny gokey is AMAZING! hes so talented and he def didnt murder his wife! how could anyone even say that, he was devestated. hating on him means your jealous! you dont even no him, get over yourselves! hatings a waste of time. screw all of you. I LOVE DANNY GOKEY!

  • EW & MTV are some of the worst offenders. They would like nothing better than to get everyone to hate and kill each other, so there is less direct blood on their hands.

    Either these hater posts are being generated by people on their payroll... or they are being generated by people who are being manipulated by them.

    In which case they are to be pitied.

  • They don't want singers that spread the idea of unity and love to others. Now that Michael Jackson is not here, they couldn't be happier.

    They only want music that devides and causes hate and depression.

    Stand strong posters, and use your voting power to close down the negative posts. It is our only Hope !!!

  • jeez y do ppl hate dis guy? if he knows the Lord then i REALLY respect him... i dont care if he can sing or be a success or not, I'll c u in Heaven Danny!

  • Wtf are you talking about? How the fuck did he murder his wife?

  • HATER = Attention Seeking MORON !

  • I think David Archuleta did better,

    but I love Danny's version!

  • i totaly agree!!

    DAnny did a good version

    but

    DAvid archuleta version is a LOt amazing

  • ADAM SUX!!!! if i wanna hear some screaming i'll hit my sister...Danny rules!!!

  • i love danny sooooooooooooooooo much i wanted to through my tv at the wall when they voted him off

  • Danny is great.

  • I especially like the beginning of this song. His voice is so great! Love you Danny.

  • Amazing voice I cant get enough

  • Hey Everyone - Enjoy Danny's songs and Have a Nice Day !

    Just remember that:

    " Hater " = " IMMATURE MORON ! "

  • this is soooooooooooooooo great!!! i hope he adds all of his songs to his cd.

  • He did really good on this song still i don't think he did better than David archuleta though but if it was David archuleta and danny gokey even no they were from different seasons danny gokaey would've won!

  • He is really good! And what makes me love him more is that hes a Christian!

  • I think Danny does this song so well!

  • All I have to say is that if you think Danny is so bad why do you keep visiting this site? This is only for danny lovers like us.

  • You are the idiot here.

  • your mom is you know.

  • dagamarweb:"davidcocksweety,gi­ve it up already. danny will always be an idiot." no he isnt an idiot. i love danny for his music, and i respect him! im not gonna stop liking someone cuz some idiot such as yourself tells me shit that they know nothing bout nor can they back up! and danny has alot of talent , too bad you just cant see that! wut are u tone deaf? i think its cuz maybe u cant see good music for wut it is- and danny has an amazing voice- there are other fans on here too that

  • l that love danny ! and i think all the contestants on this season of american idol(8) are very talented! if danny wasnt talented, he wouldnt have made it this far now would he? and danny didnt lose anything- maybe he didnt make it to the final two, but i believe he will make it far in his music career! he will do just fine!

  • Dear, the idiot here, doesn't seems to be Danny. I think is you .|.

  • LOLFAIL.

  • hmm dagamar, it seems like the only one that fails IS YOU and all the other haters on here. ur obviously pretty damn stupid to spend ur time coming on danny gokey youtube when you know absolutely nothing bout him in the first place! your not making anyone look stupid but urself. and THATS a fact!

  • ive got nothin against goakey or ne1 else. but you look pretty stupid spending all your time commenting on youtube. youve commented like 100 times. give it up no one really cares and ur the one instigating with these ppl

  • viv3147 :im allowed to say wut i think on here, and fyi, i havent commented 100 times, i comment every so often, i have a life thank u! and i dont care if u or anyone doesnt care, i stand up for wut i believe in, if u dont like it then thats too bad! i state the facts cuz i can! get over it.

  • Adam lost to suck it up and get over it, douche.

    Danny has an amazing career ahead of him and i can't wait to buy his cd's and see him on tours.

  • wow! i love this danny g's version..i always love danny from the start though he did not make to the finals but he is still a good sports..i know he can still make a carreer in singing..i wish i can pinch his nose someday! hahaha...he's cute without beard on his face..

  • whatta awsome voice

  • Did you catch P.A.I.D.S. The American idol epidemic?

  • My favorite part is the beginning parts. They sound so cool.

  • You people should be ashamed of yourselves, your disrespecting Danny, Adam, and even Matt. If you don't like them, keep it to yourself, don't broadcast it on YouTube!.. Try to be reasonable will you?..

  • Ohhh.shit this will be a hit. He is so professional can go around the melody and still hits better than any one else i heard. Dan I'll die for you.

  • sonoridades de Lionel richie...

  • I just love his voice so much!

  • This is really good and idont understand why retarted people like DagmarWeb, and 80slvr85. Why they are here? Do they take pleasure in making fun of amazing singers and there fans? Do they enjoy making themselves look like asses? They are just dumb fucks that dont know how to solve there own problems. If you dont like him dont go to his youtube songs.

  • cdowns120:i think all the danny videos rock and danny totally rocks! i guess they come on here to cuz they have low self esteem,no friends, and no life. they are stupid little kids that have nothing better to do. i was checking my comments on my account and there are alot of ppl that dont like me writing "hate comments" to me. lol but i dont really care, they are little kids like i said, ill say wut i very well plz ya know?

  • Im lame, oh ya definitely, cause you know im the one that is spending my time searching people on youtube to make fun of them. I see that along with being a douche you are also very stupid.

    So why dont you fuck off, stupid douche.

  • This season was tough for me, I liked too many so that I didn't vote right away. I wanted Adam, Danny, and Kris. They all came in the top three, not the order I would have liked, but I don't think any order would have gone wrong. They'll make CD's and then the real winner will be decided based on sales. Look at past seasons, who really won:Chris Daughtry or Taylor Hicks? There ARE things in this world that ARE life or death, who wins A.I. is not one of them... HELLO?!? Reality is calling.

  • Comment removed

  • danny was the best and should have won. but at least he was in the top 3

  • I don't understand why people constantly argue about who's better than who. It doesn't matter. They all did a good job and have beautiful voices. That's all that matters. Everyone is different and one can't change anothers opinion. Just let it be.

  • I love Danny's voice. His power is incredible! If AI didn't want him around why are they keeping him so busy. The guy has been all over TV and guest spots. They are making more money on him than any one else right now. I don't get it, but it's fine with me. :-)

  • Come on, guys--if you don't recognize good talent, and don't have anything nice to say about Danny, then don't post a comment here. I personally think Danny is a really good, soulful singer and he was consistently good throughout the entire Idol Season 8, never in "The Bottom Three." I know a good voice when I hear it. I actually thought the top ten were all really great singers (except Megan and Lil didn't have the best vocals). Danny possesses all the qualities of a true American Idol.

  • davidcocksweety, all she says is the same shit. she tells everyone to get a fucking life and all she does is reply with horrible lame ass comebacks. she still a danny porky cunt ass fan LOL .

  • i have good comebacks dagamar, im not the dumbass cunt who keeps on going on ppls sites and dissing them when they dont have all the true facts,which u obviously dont seeing u dont know shit! that would be u! all u know how to do is diss ppl, and say the same shit , but u obviously cant back it up!and hunny ppl like u DO NEED A FUCKING LIFE! not anyones fault but ur own dagamar that u cant see good music if u hit u right in the face!

  • dagamarweb:"o wow just keep bringing your intelligent statements you wag."

    oh dont worry, i have no problem bringing intelligent statements. and i will keep bringing them.i think its YOU that has probs handleing them.

    dagamarweb:"your making yourself look like a fucking dyke as usual."

    ur making urself look like an idiot, but big surprise at that, its all ur good for anyways. i know for you it doesnt take much to make urself look stupid anywhere,anytime. wow u are SUCH extreme loser!

  • OMG CAN YOU BE NICE OR DO YOU HAVE TO BE RUDE I WISH I COULD SLAP YOU IN THE FACE DAGMARWEB DANNY IS AWSOME AND YOU KNOW IT!!!! so why dont you fuck off dagmarweb

  • well, looks like you and davidcocksweety have something in common. Davidcocksweety tells losers like you to get a life (which you need to do) and all you say is "danny went back to work in a cheesecake factory". Where did you come up with that load of crap? All danny has been doing since idol is interveiws, things for his foundation and other stuff. Sorry to crush your dream of seeing danny work in a cheesecake factory but he never will, cause he will always be too dam famous.

  • davidCOCKsweety!?! Are you serious!?! Its davidCOOKsweety you dumbass!!!! You even typed it twice! LMAO!!!!

  • oh so thats why he made it to the top five.

    yeah your prolly more into asshole licking and alaskin pipe lining... but im not like that, so back off fagget :/

  • Obviously, since you just demonstrated your intelligence you would have a job that involved using "pubes as dental floss" not me.

    And if you were attempting to call Matt "a talentless prick" you are onec again are showing how stupid you are. Matt was very talented or he wouldn't have made the top 5.

  • disregard the second "are" in the second paragraph.

  • Im sorry, but i can't understand what you are trying to say. I think you are trying to bash Danny and Matt, and praise adam, but nither are working. When Matt was voted out the first time he was so talented the judges saved him. And then Matt went another week where 2 people went home and he stayed so he is obviously talented. Danny is simply amazing and should have won. Adam i will say was like WOW at first but after that he did the same thing every time so I got bored of him.

  • *matt never went home...*

  • dagamarweb:"lol matt was a telentless prick."

    um if u mean "talentless" its spelled the way i spell it, not" telentless". and think matt was ok, he had a pretty good voice too. all you are is all talk no action, you say stupid shit that you know absolutely nothing bout and that u obviously cant back up! all ur good for is coming on here and god knows where and making a big idiot outta urself!

  • 80slvr85 you are sick. get help and get it fast.

  • 80slvr85:"god you are such an annoying bitch."

    why? cuz i stick up for who i like? if some idiot such as yourself comes on here dissing who i like, i have every right to stick up for them! dont be mad cuz u know wut i say are the true facts,and wut u say is worthless shit that u cant even back up! your nothing but all talk no action, its all ur good for anyways.

  • 80slvr85:" you are the biggest fucking idiot in youtube."

    i think your the biggest idiot c uz:1) you need to learn to write sentences properly and learn to spell,2)your the one stupid enough to come on someones site and say u dont like them and judge ppl u know nothing bout! shows how ignorant and idiotic you are. talk bout "being the biggest fucking idiot!" ur not only an "idiot" on youtube, but i bet your good at making urself look stupid everywhere u go!

  • 80slvr85:i feel sorry not only for you BUT FOR your poor relatives, or anyone that knows you-im sure they dont wanna be around someone such as yourself that is not only an embarassment to themselves, but to their own relatives(and i know btw you have no real friends from the way u act). face it 80slvr85, ur nothing in this world expect for a low life piece of scum: and it will all come back to you someday- wut goes around comes around! shame on you!

  • I disagree he was amazing in the beginning...

  • I admit it isn't the best at the beginning, but he always brings it up a notch later in the song.

  • I love Danny!

  • im suprised he didnt stay longer. he and Adam are very very talented.

  • fido... if you dont like danny gokey, why are you posting on his song? and why are you even looking him up?

  • COOL SONG!!! too bad he wasnt the "AMERICAN IDOL" :(

  • He is my idol!

  • america did the right choice on voting him OFF. danny belongs in the cheesecake factory. he was cocky and so fucking overrated. seriously. now he is trying to emulate chimp allen.

  • another music illiterate with no life blasting someone earning millions of dollars.

  • Hey DagmarWeb, Why don't you move on to some music you like instead of leaving hateful comments here? We get it, move on. You're obviously an Adam fan, those are usually the people that go out of their way to leave crap comments on all the boards.
