  • This kid does have a REALLY good voice though.

  • No one has done this song better than Steven Tyler thus far but that is MY opinion.

  • Better b/c the studio can tweek things. When people sing live it tells you what they need to work on as a performer. Sometimes it just nerves. I myself had to work on that and breath support.

  • Michael Johns version is far more better than this one :) IMHO

  • Loved Danny. Glad he was 3rd. But Kradam still takes the cake with me. And Kris deserved the win in my eyes. But I would not have been mad at all if it had been Danny. He's incredibly talented. Love his performances, and love his CD :)

  • omg... his scream sucked. wth, im 14 years old and i can do way better then that shit

  • @GoGurt102102 this is a better verison than aerosmith... and no his scream isnt very good but hes not a rock singer

  • @GoGurt102102 Your 14 and you say shit..?

  • @GoGurt102102 fucking realize that he was trying to copy what steven tyler did to put on a better show and it didnt come out as planned but that was only one part of the song the rest of it was amazing and all you people who dont listen to anything but mistakes dont realize that.

  • @cutestud2 Exactly! The rest of the song was great. Shame everyone judged him for that mistake at the end =/

  • Danny G, I Love you kid >>>>> but dont even try this song.........Michael Johns, and now James Durbin make you look really like my local bar group....i do love you, you had so much pain.,

  • 16 People have horrible taste in music

  • u do it better than aerosmith =)

  • @Cauldren Danny didn't lose to this song, he beat Allison with this song and he lost when he sang You Are So Beautiful.

  • adam should have sung dis song

  • Love danny's version

  • This is AWESOME!! Aerosmith is okay, but Danny is my favorite!

  • I LOOK EXACTLY LIKE A 13 YEAR OLD DANNY GOKEY!!! IT'S CREPPY WHEN ME AND MY FRIEND WERE WATCHING AMERICN IDOL AND WHEN HE FIRST CAME ON ALL MY FRIENDS WERE LIKE.......DUDE ARE U RELATED TO HIM???

  • Ez a legjobb feldolgozás!

    Imádom!

    GO GOKEY!!!!

  • @SennyochiLB Thank you! The shriek from hell was autotuned. Gokey fails.

  • the band is playing the song in a higher key!!!!!!!!!

  • danny gokey sucks and steven tyler is the master of music

  • @ilovejeffhardy831 I agree and disagree. Gokey sucks. You and I agree. But I think (and I'm allowed an opinion) Billy Joel is the master of music. But I do love me some aerosmith.

  • @daward2 billy joel rocks too

  • and he made a tatoo on his right bicep or whatever it is, wooooooo im still getting confused what tricep and bicep is, lol but its kinda hot!! haha

  • kriss isnt that good, <,< i love danny hes cute hes hot and he can sing! woooooooT!

  • @jinfromhel825 Take a shower.

  • Not bad.

  • I've been staring at the screen, trying to figure out why this sounded so much more amazing than I expected.

    Then I realized I had two windows open, and I was accidentally playing the original Aerosmith version, not Danny's. XD

    Sorry Danny, but no. Just no. >.>

  • Wow I love it except for the scream the original scream is 100 percent better and some of the lyrics are messed up but no biggie. Can I get this on iTunes?

  • dang i love that scream it so cool:)

  • this was very good! im a huuuuge aerosmith fan.

  • he is my idol

    iam a fan frome saudi arabia

  • sorry I didn't think my comment before posted..

  • if he had done it this way live, he would of still been in. but because he messed it up, fans of his switched to Kris Allen, thus he won. We can assume since he won, Danny would of won. But forever this song will be remembered for having the "Danny Gokey Note Screech"

  • if he hadn't done this song, he would of been in the finally, and since Kris won we can assume Danny would of as well. Kris won because Danny did this so people switched over to Kris. thus he won. so for now on each time I hear this I keep thinking "The Danny Gokey Note" or the scream is what killed him

  • look for glee dream on music vid its better

  • @andanchist Fuck that...

  • it sounds reallly good, but the scream was bad i have to admit.

  • the whole time adam was going to be second so in the top3 it was between danny and kris to win, and kris had more appeal

  • i dunno, i dont like the cover as a whole, but the high part of the song i actually think he did good

  • i remember on american idol...

    Dream on dream on DREAAMM ON DREEEAAAAAM ON!!! AAAAAAGGGGGHHHAGGAHHHHHH

  • He butchered this song

  • @Bogie3Flare is that a gud thing?

  • @SuperCriticguy "good" and no.

  • I have to say he's an ok singer but he killed the song

  • what I liked about season 8 is the top 4 all kicked ass on the rock n roll songs.All 4 were great.I personally liked Danny most,but people Allison,Adam and Danny were ALL great.

  • anyone who says this guy is better than Steven Tyler can shut the fuck up.

  • @TheRealDeal1515 I think he did fantastic on this song. Why, you think he sucked?

  • the scream here is fine.. good maybe... definitely HEARABLE. xD

  • actually adam lambert would tear this song up.

  • this version is one semitone down than the original,cuz this kid ain t got enough voice,nobody really can beat steven tyler or even try to gettin close to him. Shitty vocals

  • Comment removed

  • YIKES THAT SCREAM

    other wise great!

  • this guy has an amazing voice i realy thought he was gonna win it great singer and person

  • this sounds like it was tuned down to fit his voice or it is still standard tunning?

  • People who think that this version is better than the original are out of their mind. Seriously. The live version was dreadful and that scream at the very end made my ears bleed and I like screamo and death metal.

  • The Scream part is ONLY for Steven Tyler or Sdam Lambert inmy opinion.

  • @BMXridersrule Yes but, he pulled it off. Undoubtingly. Even though it is Steven Tyler's part. And, Adam could have killed it better too.

    Haha

  • I love how sounds Danny's voice from 2:26 -2:38.

    I think Danny or Adam should won because they can actually sing anything.

  • I have always loved Aerosmith....

    But, Danny, you made this epic song your own!!

    I love the hard-edge graininess of your voice. Tyler is still King...but, you are the Prince, nipping at his heels...

    Rock on, Danny... Don't limit yourself to just Country and Christian Crossover.....

    You can do it all!

  • @csereix You make it sound like he is a lost puppy following him, lol

  • Ha Danny, I knew you could do it, when your throat healed and you had time to relax and work with people who were not looking to do you in ! Rock on Soul Brother ! Peace Out !

  • Either they helped him edit that note, or he had to re-sing it like 100 times to get it right.

    Haha i think it's sad that the most memorable of Gokey is his Scream On screech.

    I mean i'm not saying he's a bad singer... but that screech was the most hilarious thing tht has ever happened on AI.

  • @ Jambammd... Come on now.. it wasn't the funniest thing that ever happened on idol..

    Matter of fact, the fact that he had a sore throat, was made uptight by people around him who were TRYING to do that to him, and was sabotaged by the people on the mixing board, makes it not too funny at all ~

    What made it endearing though is Danny's honesty and humility and wear it on his sleeve, 'what you see is what you get' personality. The guy is such a good guy, he had no idea how jaded people can be

  • exactly couldnt have said it better myself.... thank you

  • I agree with you completely and I don't think that I could have said it any better.

    He's a great guy, and everyone else needs to lay off.

    Thank youu. :)

  • @jambammd

    shut the hell up. i wanna here u try to nail that scream with a freakin soar throat.

  • danny rocks!

    it sounds really natural

    i want him to sing "if you want to sing out sing out" by cat stevens!

    OMG danny is so good!

  • go listen to the live version

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • sooo much autotune....

  • Yeah your right, you can even hear the digital ness

  • Danny has an amazing voice, no matter what he sings!

  • they don't edit it so it sounds like he's on pitch; it's just that they get do-overs when they need to unlike live. He really does sound good on this (except that high part)and I prefer his voice over Tyler (it's not about if it's better or not)

  • Everybody who thinks this is better than the aerosmith version its only because its the STUDIO VERSION! They edit it so it sounds like he is on perfect pitch. The live version actually tells how they sing.

  • I bet that an`t even him singing

  • Comment removed

  • i prefer his voice over adam lambert and kris allen. danny's voice is superb and vocally much superior than kris'. adam's got voice and looks and people find lust in him. kris is cute and got clean voice and that's all. danny's got it all going on.

  • I agree 100%

  • Great studio version of the song. Sure the live version was dreadul, but the studio version is very nicely made but... not anywhere near as good as the original.

  • danny definetly gave the song a new dimension and his version is good but its not even half as good as the original.. long live steve tyler!!

  • that scream was soo not his natural vice, that was totally fixed. but i love his version os dis soing

  • definately! this i think is better than the aerosmith version... more rock.... and his voice fits this so well!

  • ahahahah dis was added on my 15 bday :)

  • this is alot better tahn his live! but his live was pretty good too... it was funny how he even made fun of himself for that performance

  • he could have chosen a softer rock, not this song

  • buena version! bonita voz... no he escuchado su version en vivo pero esta es buena. gracias a quien lo colgo.

  • danny gokey rocks!

  • Way better than his live preformance....but i like gokey.lol

  • I like Danny's voice, but he's definitely not suited for Aerosmith.

  • DG = the REAL american idol

  • i bet this song mens somthing to him

  • This is the most memorable song from all season. Especially if you watch the live version. Overall, i think Danny's OVERALL live performance was better than aerosmith's studio version. It's just my opinion.

  • I hope you are joking. His live performance of this was an absolute joke. He even made fun of it.

  • Love this song! Hope he does more rock in the future. Great voice!

  • Yeah, Michael Johns still did this better.

  • amen

  • LOL!?!?!!? You sir, are an idiot!

  • Anybody sounds good in the studio, but we all know that he cannot pull this off live.

  • whoever marked this comment as bad is in denial of that FACT, not really an Adam fan but he could have sang this

  • I can see your point wc2k6. He came 2 Idol with the intention 2 crossover from where he was. Perhaps it would be in his best interest to cut an album of songs that he wants to do, and work it from there? I wish he could meet with someone like David Foster, and get some good advice.I think that they could work it out 'together'. I have his Studio sessions, and there is not one song that I don't like. Actually I don't have one other album that I don't have to skip a song or 2 while playing.

  • Every cover he's done has been as good or better than the original

  • omg i love him(:

    he should have won.

    he is fantastic in

    every way<3

    lovee you

    danny~

  • 2:28 was just amazing!!! :O

  • danny gokey rocks!!!

  • Heyyy danny shoulda wonn! i went to his home coming parade....it was fun:)

  • Cant wait till he gets a contract and goes on tour

  • Comment removed

  • that was pretty fucking badass.

    the scream was sick.

    and i heart that 'im smelling my finger after i stuck it up yer butt' pic

    dude can sing

  • Should've been a Matt vs Danny Final.

  • i couldnt agree with you more

  • Fuck that. It should have been Adam vs Danny.

  • @lazrpo1nt3r and danny wins

  • I like it better than aerosmith!!!!!!!!!

  • 1:04 what the hell is he doing with his finger?

  • Ahhh the scream wasn't even close to as bad as it was on the show! ahhhahahahaha i laughed my ass off when i heard that...

    Danny's great...he should have won.

  • he shoulda won...

  • Easily...

  • I really dont like that cover...

    But the original song, is so beautiful...

    Aerosmith ROLL!!!!!!!

  • Where did you get the pictures?

  • to be totally fair... danny gokey is a great singer. he has a nice voice control and has a unique voice. the scream was astonishingly bad. terrible. but, kris allen did not have good vocal, nor control, nor performance. he had that likability thing going on. i think the top three should have been adam, allison and danny, then adam and danny (just for diversity) and then adam shuld have been the AI. unique voice, amazing control, great performance, good looks, ability to adjust to every genre...

  • and, which were the songs he arranged himself, except ain't no sunshine. on the other hand, adam rearranged every song he sang. he did that.

  • Most notably Heartless. He also re-arranged She Works Hard for the Money. Adam's versions were covers. Ring of Fire was previously sang by a woman on a televised vocalist hunt (I forget the band it was for). Feeling Good was the Muse's. Mad World was Michael Andrews/Gary Jules. One was arranged by Lambert and Cowell. That's all I remember off the top of my head.

  • yes, heartless was re-arranged, but the other weren't. they were adaptions. he himself has said that he was not the greatest singer on that competition and that his vocal abilities were not great, that's why he picked easy songs. did he show vocal range in someone of them? no. on the other hand, the other top 4 were all great singers and had great vocals. if he tries to make career by re-arranging songs, he is doomed, because he is going to be a recording artist, one who amazes with voice.

  • Ok, the last part of your comment made no sense. You said he had a bad voice but then you said he would have to amaze with his voice. "She works..." was a rearrangement, listen to the original. Why would any person try to make a career out of doing covers? Kris Allen has already made an album, and he's working on another new one right now. Allen, Iraheta, and Lambert were all signed by 19. Gokey is the only unsigned person from the top 4 because he has no musical identity.

  • i do agree on the last part. i am saying that, people liked him because he showed artistry by re-arranging song. but people are going to buy his songs in the future. they are not going to be impressed by the arranging, they are going to want to be impressed by the singing. and in that department, he is not as impressive as the other two. i should have said, one who is supposed to amaze with voice.

  • Now we're getting to somewhere that we agree. The only reason I brought up arrangements is because on AI that's all they're allowed to do. That's why I say it shows his ability. He took a song (Heartless) that was a known Hip-Hop song and actually made it sound really good and entirely different. I honestly think that's why he won. Truth be told I liked Anoop's and Danny's voices the best (at least until the scream).

  • i liked anoop too. i hate thinking he got cut off that early. truth be told though, on top 13 anoop started to sing only ballads, cause he was told they made him look good. i think he could do many more genres than he did. danny... good voice, don't see him as a successful recording artist. i wouldn't buy his cd, probably...

  • anyhow, i think, and people may blame me for this, he was making a figure of his Dead Wife (may she rest in peace). on any show, he wanted people to feel sorry for him. or adore him for being strong.

  • Danny Gokey has plenty of musical identity...you can tell it's him no matter what--he doesn't sound like anybody else in the musical industry.

  • His voice is different, but he has no definitive sound. For example, you know Allison and Adam will be doing Rock. Anoop will be doing R&B. Kris will be doing Alternative in the shape of Jason Mraz, and so on. Gokey was all over the place, he never truly picked a Genre or type of music to stick with, and that's what the industry's problem is with him. They know how his voice sounds, but they have no idea how his music will sound, at all.

  • Thank you! Finally, a person with the same idea as me and some taste.

  • Best photos ever!

    I LOVE YOU DANNY GOKEY!!!

    <3

  • Man, I really hope he gets a record deal and puts out an album, he is an INCREDIBLE singer.

  • this is awesome! if only he sang this version he coodve won=(

  • he has destroyed this amazing song by aerosmith

  • your about to make a hole lot of ppl happy with that line

  • Just more proof that a Kradam top 2 was the way to go!  Adam totally rocked Aerosmith! And yes, I am a loyal minion of our Dark Lord Screamanova. A.k.a. Glambert #2340!

  • Adam Lambert is gay and he had a crush on Kris Allen so shut up. Danny Gokey lives in the same city as me (Milwaukee).

  • so ..............

  • He should have won!!!!!!

  • i disagree

  • Adam Lambert sucks if that is who you like.

  • oh yeah how does he suck

  • First he is gay (literally) and he is weird!

  • last time i checked american idol was about who could sing the best not whos got the most interesting personal life

  • Danny was 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,­000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00­0,000,000,000,000,000,001 times better!

  • danny gokey is a really good singer but he doesn't come close to adam lambert if he was then he would have won because then danyy would have gotten the christian vote and some of adams fans

  • Um Adam didn't win. Kris did.

  • no duh im saying that danny would might have won if he was up against kris

  • ok...this isnt his style of music...and he RIPPED this song....he did so good...Danny got screwed he should be the american idol...not sucky kris allen...it shouldve came down to adam and danny and danny shouldve won...but this version he did GREAT especially in the end

  • that was some good singing

  • DAnny gokey is so cute :3

  • is it me or does he look like he's digging his nose in that pose????? haha

  • I don't see it, he's finger isn't even

    in his nostril.

  • I love Steve Tyler's version. But I think I would like to sing Danny's verion better. Way to go Gokey!!!

  • I love this :) Danny Gokey, you're still my Idol! :D

  • I agree with most of you. I think the final for American Idol should have been between Danny and Adam. Kris should not have won. He only won 'cause of all those girls thinking he's soooooooooooo cute.

  • i agree with u I WANTED it to come down to Danny and Adam and then either one of them winning (obviously) but yea Kriss isn't that cute :I

  • Not at all cute.

  • Whoa.

    This is hella good.

    He's brilliant.

    Love the scream. =D

  • i heard this song from Aerosmith and now from him,he sings it a whole lot better and even in the scream!! i love him!!

  • HE DIDNT SCREECH! AW! That was funny and cute. I loved Danny. I wish that if anyone were to beat Adam, it was Danny. Or Allison. Ugh. Life.

  • scream~

  • Comment removed

  • Wow...I really like it!!

  • I love his version. Love his voice!

  • Damn I actually like his version. Love his voice... Reminds me of Great Joe Cocker. And this actually was good version. The scream part gave goosebumps. I was hoping for Danny or Adam to win...

  • luckily kris did win

  • what do you mean luckily? he didnt deserve to f-ckin win

  • it was a better choice than choosing adam

  • What a mad dog hes awesome
