  • Danny,has a gift. With is voices, I love him when i seen him come out at american idol. When he sings it makes your day. LOVE YOU DANNY .

  • this was horrible live

  • omg i LOVE HIS VOICE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DOES HIS HIGH VOICE :D

  • You could sing Rock !!! why you choiced country ???

  • @irontoyvn because a country label was the only label that would sign him. also he was not able to sing this live at all. it was really horrible and hes usually a great singer. some good studio magic is what made this sound good. i think hes a better soulful singer

  • goosebumps.....need to put the heating on..

  • He should have went home that week. Top 3 should have been Allison, Adam and Kris.

  • He picking his nose! XD

  • I dont think he was good on idol when he sung it, he shouldnt have tried screaming, not 1 person can sing aerosmith apart from the man himself Steven Tyler, but i think this studio version wasnt bad at all

  • @2009TheButcher adam lambert can do it :p

  • Comment removed

  • i like it

  • was gokey's version that bad...haha but aerosmith's scream kinda lacked, like ahheaheaheaheeee...ah?

  • does anyone else that without th eglasses he looks kinda like david cook?

  • @RPGgrenade Not at all. :p

  • fricken haters

  • WHO TOLD HIM THAT SCREAM WAS A GOOD IDEA? D=

  • he performed n american idol this season and he sings country now... that makes me sooooo mad. he has a rock voice

  • @cindythepig Yeah Country Today Is Majorly Influence By 70s And 80s Rock So He Fits Right In

  • DAMN!!

    He is a awesome singer! :-D

  • he looks so ugly in this picture, lmao.

    but the scream was awesome i fucking love it, <3 <3

    i love you danny <3 <3

  • the scream waz good!

    haters bck off!

  • The guitars in this cover are sick! I love the instrumentals in here more than in the original

  • ...it was good until he started screaming.

  • no one can do the steven tyler scream like steven tyler, this proves it

  • At 2:28 through 2:40 it sounded like a stupid girl running away screaming from Frankenstien.

  • again I feel I am falling in love with this voice..

  • i love his sexy voices..plus his good looking too.he deserve to became american idol.i just dont care what other thinks.....

  • @nagayax i think he is very good

  • IT was a good son until the screech nobody screech like Steven Tyler so I thought it was really good.

  • hahahahaha i could not stop laughing when he performed dis

  • no, you just suck, you don't know music

  • that wasn't even a note it was horrible and u know it

    I do know enough about music to tell that when Adam hits a A5 he does hit 1,000,000 other notes danny was just bad. I don't get how people voted for Danny after this preformance.

  • the belting part is terrible and rare for Danny Gokey .. i must say BELTING not SCREAMING coz its not screaming!

  • I don't like it as much as the original. But I think that, if I hadn't known Aerosmith, this song would have been like 'Wow! He's good!'

    But, that's just when I wouldn't know them. =)

  • he looks funny.. LoL

  • Creo que walliworld se equivoca. ese agudo estuvo bueno.

  • jajajajaja exacto ese agudo fue fatal.

  • en vivo la cago con el agudo final xD!!!! fue horrible xD!!!

  • I love the way the base line goes very well with the tone of his voice! GOKEY RULES!!!

  • i love d SCREAM part!!!

    dream on!

  • One thing i didnt like it was like the day after of dannys performance of this and everyones like he butchered the song ok sooooo he had a mess up i mean yea he couldve lowered it a little but that didnt mean that he is a bad singer so he cant hit that high of notes and honestly i think his voice is kind of... hot it sounds really good its honestly amazing in my opinion so the pitch is actually good for him and yea the scream is better

  • the song was lowered almost all it could b but i agree he is a good singer he just messed up a lil

  • LOVE IT! u know if u here aerosmiths version the scream would kinda sound the same

  • No, Steven Tyler did it good and it was real. Not edited to sound good.

  • @andrew97739 totally agree i like danny but Aerosmith will always be better i love their music they r amazing

  • @andrew97739 What are you talking about? Steven Tyler still did it in the studio, and it was still edited to make him sound great. How else does it sound like that? Steven's screach was edited too.

  • @kodalicious77 Watch them both live and see if you can't notice a difference. And even being edited Danny Gokey sounds like crap when he does the screaming.

  • @andrew97739 yeah the screaming was crap in the live version, but its not that horrible, but the rest its fine. lol

  • @andrew97739 Define "It was real. Not edited to sound good."

  • @runnersdialzero33 Its pretty easy to understand. Steven Tyler's version = no autotune or filters. Plus, he hits the high notes every single live performance.

    Danny Gokey's version = another example of 'studio magic'.

  • @MultiTheMadHatter What do you mean "no filters"? I'm sure there was to some extent (compression, etc. has been around forever). I'm not hearing autotune here, either - could be wrong, I don't care enough to listen that much.

    Plus, "studio magic" can only go so far. Studio magic can't create vocal tone, etc. This whole "BRING BACK REAL MUSIC" shit needs to end - I hate autotune just as much as the next guy, but just because something was recorded now and not 73 doesn't mean it's not "real".

  • @andrew97739 Danny is a good singer though!

  • Wow! FUCKING WOW

  • Comment removed

  • Fabulous cover of an incredible song by Aerosmith. Good idea to pitch it lower. This is a much better version than live. The controlled situation helped you a lot.

    You've got a great voice, Danny

  • much much better - thank God for studio versions.

  • @KING1813 i agree, the studio version is great and steven can sing it live

  • i dont care!!! i love him and i love his voice!!!

  • i love this version...the live scream really pretty bad lol

  • I love the irony that is this video having comments on a Gokey song.

  • I'll admit Danny did a better job in the studio then live version. Which I'm glad.

    But what I really don't understand is WHY are people are talking about Adam and some of the other contestants? This is Danny's song and it shouldn't be compared to other people's preformances.

  • Whenever i hear this song i like to make sure before i go to bed that he is not hidding under my bed.

  • I love it all..

    EXEPT the scream...

  • He needs to cough.

  • You need some senna and an enema ~

  • It's just blatantly obvious to anyone that saw your ridiculous post on what Danny needs. Sounds like you could use an enema and some syrup of ipecac all at the same time, to get all of that brown stuff out of your digestive system.

  • That might go a long way towards curing your potty mouth, as well as your toxic colon

  • I would LOVE to hear Adam Lambert sing this song!

  • Danny's voice is infinitely better suited to this song, as is his demeanor. However, I would expect that Adam's overtrained voice would have an easier time doing the scream part.

  • I personally love Adam, Kris, AND Danny! (:

  • yea not all of the Adam fans hate Danny! Danny is awesome! It's all about taste! not if ur a Adam fan or a Kris fan.

  • i'm an adam fan but i also like Danny. The only one I'm not too keen on is Kris for failing to know his place and losing to Adam who is a lot more talented than Kris. (Perhaps it's not exactly Kris' fault but his fans are freaking delusional if they think Kris is better than Adam. Only on another planet.)

  • yea Kris stinks lol like I said im a Adam Lambert fan but Danny is awesome. I would buy his album sure why not. Not Kris's or Allison's though. only Adams and Dannys

  • He did sing it quite well here

  • Danny's Not trying to Compare With Steven

    They were equally good

  • maybe him doing this song wasnt perfect, but whos perfect? at least he had a sense of humor bout it: he thought it was funny when he watched it back. and gokey DOES sing with soul! he puts his heart and soul into the songs! hes got the most powerful voice! thats the way it is. maybe thats the way U see it, but us fans love and respect him! at least he went outta his comfort zone and tried something different. it wasnt perfect, but who cares?danny is awesome!

  • and i feel sorry for you that your stupid enough to just come on here to say mean things about the singer. Didnt your mother ever teach you if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all?

  • gokey haters should CUT THE GUY SOME SLACK!!!!!!! What i did appreciate about danny is the fact that he was cool with it all. Like he said, he laughed the whole night after watching his performance. That's class if you ask me. Not taking things tooooo seriously. this studio version did the song justice... still not better than the original but fairly ok. Again, that;s just me.

  • i'm an adam fan but i do condemn those who mercilessly bash danny for his live "dream on performance"... danny's a great vocalist and he deserved the top 3 spot. i just want you guys to know that not all adam fans hate him. the thing is, danny fans do capitalize on whatever negative they find in adam. hope this stops. people are entitled to their opinions but that doesn't warrant anyone to go under the belt. that's just me. I love danny really! juz love adam more =)

  • BTW J

    Do you thnk there was an audio assist on Danny's a capella audition? I doubt he had much professional help as a Gospel singer in his rather small church either. It is evident that the man can sing and can infuse his songs with true feeling. U might not like Christian music and these lyrics could be a little bit heavy handed for today's Christian Music, but go to CD Baby and listen to Zachary Tim's A New Praise. You will hear Danny healthy and relaxed and really a pleasure to listen to.

  • Matter of fact, I can't think of what they are now, but I have remarked to myself while listening to some of the idols studio sessions, including Danny's, that in one or more places the idols have gotten a greater audio assist on the show, than in their studio sessions...

    If it comes across my listening experience again, I will write them down and post.

  • It isn't a stretch of the imagination to think that Rock week was timed to pull Adam out of the bottom three. And we have seen online in the entertainment mags that there is a large population of drama queens in the industry who really have a had a hugh investment in an Adam Lambert win. I don't think it is 'not 'within the realm of possibilities that this song was sabotaged, and even if not, a sore throat can make speaking difficult, no less singing under pressure on national Tv.

  • I can't speak for why others attack Adam, but I can speak for me and have been very honest all along, which I would wish others could be. I do it, because the unprofessional entertainment media drama queens and their friends and followers have gone out of their way to bash Danny, Kris, and the other contestants, trying to convert their fans to Adam. They put Danny, and others under a microscope and even lie about their imperfections. So I have decided to return the favor, . but I won't lie.

  • I can see someone is a Gokey lover. The studio can clean up anything so he probably sounded the same with the scream in recording too. I don't bash the other contestants either, I'm just saying that wasn't the right song for him.

  • Hi J, I agree with you about studio magic , but this is different, If you listen to all the other contestants and even Danny's songs on other performances the acoutiscal help and the mix is very flattering to all of them, including him.However, if you really listen to this particular song, u can hear the flatness of it. And, if you really listen to it closely and listen to any other songs he sang where he didn't have a sore throat, there is quite a difference. TBC

  • Why do Danny fans attack Adam fans about his scream if danny can't even scream with tone and musical art. Dream on was as bad as everyone saids it is. Danny's voice is just unique and people can't understand that.

  • Danny had a bad moment in 1 song, due 2 a bad sore throat and bad audio feedback.. What I find AMAZING is that Adam fans and the media would capitalize on this. Listen to his studio recording, he nailed it. And his voice is actually suited to Rock, like Joe Cocker's, Janis Joplin, etc.I don't think he would want to dress up in a clown suit and pant like a dog in heat, like Kiss does, but there are many different styles of rock, and songs with a good message, and he could do that, if he wanted..

  • Also, Danny put a scream in one song where it was entirely appropriate. Adam puts the identical scream in almost every song, body language and all. What is up with that? Rock music was about real people and real feelings with a real message. Take a look at the Led Zeppelin-Whole Lotta Love(Video)

    wth about 72K views. Then compar it to the tour version of Adam. Perhaps u can see what i mean.

  • The scream doesnt sound THAT bad

    Its kinda cool ^_^

  • it isnt growling, his voice is rough and husky. i love it, i think he has an amazing voice! love u danny!

  • antoiniasyrene: whats the point of coming to danny gokey youtube if u cant stand him? i think its pretty pointless to come on someones site, if u dont like them. and thats the way his voice is:husky, rough voice. i think he has a sexy voice. danny is a very talented man! love u danny, dont listen to these haters, u rock!

  • growling is something else thats used in screaming type of songs, not even close. good try though

  • yes he is amazing :) he shud have won AI. he's the best,  he's better than KRIS according to SIMON during their renegade performance right? it was a disappointment when he got voted out! those who voted 4 kris made a wrong choice!!

    peace .

  • yes.

  • Kris is an amazing singer; his voice is much more touching then Danny's, but I still love them both. Just be thankful it wasn't the screaming emo, Adam, that won.

  • danny is truly amazing

    his voice is so awesome in rock songs

    hes just simlp talented

  • Your voice is so suited to Rock Danny, as Alison's is. I am so glad that you got to do this version of us, once your voice was healed and you had a little more time to become familiar with the music. You seem to be a very quick study, I can't wait for the amazing things that are sure to be ahead !! Bless You Danny.

  • hahahahahahaha! I only started to realise that when u said it hahahaha!

  • me too lol

  • of course he should. apparently america has no idea what a real voice sounds like. someone with that range is going to go somewhere.

  • Okay, this studio version is fantastic. Even the scream (NOT SCREECH!!) is good. Look up the original song, he sounds pretty similar. Danny did good on this, but the Live version wasn't as great.

  • lmaoo this sucks!!! what a way to destroy Aerosmith. Adam should have sung this song!

  • Ummm hate to break it to you but Adam destroyed like every song that he sang....except for mad world.

  • hmm, hate to break it to u but u dont have the potential to enjoy Adams song. i hope u have fun listening to scream on :) too bad he doesnt do this on tour.

  • alison coudent win at all america do not like hispanics look what they did to david archuleta now alison??? That suckz

    also adam couldent win because he is u know what (GAY) so look what happened to clay akiensee what american Can Do?

  • this scream makes me laugh so hard but its fixed pretty well here!

    v-v allison didnt deserve to get kicked out.

    its a mystery how danny got to the next round after this.

  • i didnt like the high pitch scream......

  • Adam didn't lose because he was gay adam lost because he was cocky and annoying and because danny's fans voted for Kris over Adam. Had it been because of his sexuality, adam would have gone back a few weeks into the competition.

  • lmao, I dont think Adam lost at all. I dont see anyone else getting the media hype, kris album of idol tracks dropped in itunes like a rock withing the first week of release. what a shame for the "winner". Adam didnt get the idol title, so what? that title is a joke anyway.

  • They tried to challenge that and what they said was that Kris won by such a landslide that that didn't even make a difference :P

  • that's what i think

  • I wanted an Allison\Danny finale

  • I wanted a Allison/Danny finale too. Those two + Anoop were my favs this season... But I like them all in some way this season.

  • He only nailed the scream due to studio editing (lol). I liked Danny in the beginning, and then he got very boring and predictable. Adam is NEVER predictable, and his range is to die for(NOT SCREAMING!). This is what I, and most musicians, ADORE about Adam. He has a beautiful instrument! Anyone who is a musician knows that Adam DOES NOT scream. It's called a high tone/note! He could make it sound soulful, opera-like, or rockish, but it's ALWAYS controlled! His voice and control is UNTOUCHABLE!

  • I agree with you 100%

  • never predictable? despite soft, loud, soft, loud...no danny is good. adam just throws screams in left and right.

  • 100% agree. i wanna puch people when they say adam screams and cant sing... and then i wanna shoot people when they say something like ' kris is a better singer, but Tracks of my Tears was my favorite song." kris danny and allison all good. but seriosuly, adam voice, rang, creativity, and performance level is 100x better.

  • me too. adam deserve to be the winner....

  • i will have to say i was pretty impressed by this cover

  • I like this.

  • i think the scream sounds similar to Aerosmith's scream. YUP u read rite. I luv Gokey he was the best n he shuda won w/ Allison in 2nd. He did great. Ppl who hate i wish i cud change ur opinoin but i can't n cussing any1 out wud be pointless but thats what this site is 4 n i can't make u luv Danny if u don't. Every1 has an opinoin

    Peace

    -Nickelbackrules09

    P.S. listen to hero by Nickelback. its epic!

  • He nailed the scream here.

    Oh well.

  • eh eh eh the singing was bad throughout and the scream.. well we all know what that was.

  • Hey this is a great song! His scream in the studio sounds really good. Too bad he couldn't have gone back and redone that scream. Or it would good if someone could post this scream which sounds great on a video. Danny's voice is so soulful.

  • Hey even though you didn't win american idol please keep singing and maybe makes cd's??!!! I know i'd buy them and i'm so sorry about your Wife :((

    I bet you she is proud of you <3

    any way keep doing what your doing!

  • I loved the scream but i hate him XD

  • THANK you uh I dont like him or his scream lmao

  • at the start i wanted danny kris and adam to win so i didnt care who won

  • omg he did fix the scream!

    he's so good!

    i wanted a kris/danny finale!

    but whatevz

  • Danny.....I love you so much....I hope you will be a good singer.....!!!! lots of love...from japan

  • The scream is great here .. =) .. like it

    ~ Adam Fan xD

    Glambert all the way ~

  • Danny was just trying to do something new and take a chance go risky. I know some people might thin he overdid( Hey at first I was shocked, Then I started to listen to it over and over and I LUV It) but Danny was just trying to take a chance :)

  • Haha, in that picture looks like he is picking his nose.....lmfao..sorry i know thats gross, but yeah

  • I HATED the screamm. Is anyone with me ?

  • i agree with the scream being shitty i like the rest but the scream kinda screwed him out of the finals but thats just my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • I sooo totallly agree with you. Danny did HORIIBBLLEE! I mean Horriblee. i HATED the screamm .

  • Well actually if you listen to the live version of this song by Aerosmith .. you'll hear the same same thing ...

  • SCREAM ON DANNY!! SCREAM ON!!

    major gokey fan!!!

    :)

  • I think the "Screech" he made was he got the "Adam Fever",you know Adam does the scream(but its in pitch),still like Danny though.

    ~Kris,Allen,Matt Fan~

  • SCREAM ON! :3

  • my god he sucked when he sang this on the show...I was hoping Adam woulda done this song

  • haha yea it wuda been soo cool to c adam do this song! cuz theres alot of high notes n hez good with that stuff!

  • I disagree. Sure, there are a lot of high notes, but this song needs a deeper, more powerful voice behind it. Don't get me wrong, Adam is a great singer, but I don't think he's well suited to this song.

  • I love Danny's voice!..

    I'm always like.. he's awesome!..

    Does he have any other concerts besides the one the Top 13 Idols have?..

    Thanks for the people who will answer.

    :D Katie OUT.

  • Am I the only one who thinks Danny looks like Robert Downey Jr.?

  • He totally looks like Robert Downey Jr. Yummy!!1

  • you're not alone :)

  • No, my wholeee familyy thinkks so (:

  • I LOVE DANNY!!!His scream was AWSOME!! I repeat it over and over cause I love the scream!!

  • I laughed when I heard it, but it's just so cool xD

    And he DOES have an awesome voice =]

  • BOTTOMLINE...DANNY GOT SCREWED HE SANG THIS SOGN GOOD LIVE...except for the end...but he did great for this not being his style of music...but this version is EPIC!!!! I hope he still gets a record deal

  • Lol. When I first looked at the picture, I thought he had his finger up his nose. =)

    And ya, the scream was more life threatening when it was live. :P

  • this version sounds wayyyyy better than what he did live!

  • im a danny gokey fan.. but when he sang this song.. i felt bad for him. props to him for going for him but it made me wanna cry for him.

  • When Danny came on and sang in the finals he showed up all other and proved to America he really did deserve to win this thing!

  • I admire Danny Gokey for even going for this song, he's obviously not a rock singer. It's really not that bad though. I can't wait until he comes out with a CD. =)
