Danny Gokey. Has any generic
American Idol contestant ever been more
controversial? Having missed much of last season, save
Oscar's recaps,
I never fully understood why any one cared either way about the mild-mannered music teacher from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But you do,
enough to leave countless comments both defending and deriding The
Gokey.
Sorry to say that Gokey's just released video for his song "The Best
Days Are Ahead of Me" won't be changing anyone's mind about him. If you loved him and his church-perfect voice and message during
Idol,
you'll love the video and its power of positive thinking slogans and
message. If you thought Gokey was cheesier than cheddar, those same
slogans and positive phrases, are going to have you reaching for a barf
bucket faster than you can say "sob-story."
To avoid angering either side, I'm going to keep my personal feelings personal and let you judge the video for yourself.
