Tonight it was Danny Gokey and then the rest. I don’t know if this guy is a really good singer, or a special singer, but what I do know is if you have been following the show from the beginning, that he is a special person who sings. Tonight he sang one of my favorites songs, Hero, and he did it quite well. I suspect he has a huge following already. He reminds me of Elliot Yamin. Nice guy, good voice, getting better every week, makes great song choices and never makes a mistake so he goes deep.
None of the women grabbed me like Danny did. I did like Jackie Tohn. Thought she was an excellent performer. The judges liked Alexis Grace, and even though I think she is very good it just didn’t do much for me.
I was disappointed in a couple of singers who I think are better but didn’t show it tonight. Anup Desai and Michael Sarver didn’t live up to my expectations. Sarver sang a song that Bo Bice knocked out of the park and so in my mind he came off poorly. Too bad because I really liked the guy.
There were two singers I like a lot that I think will get passed over: Ricky Braddy has a wonderful voice, and Brent Keith could be our annual cowboy.
Tomorrow night I’ll be looking for a woman to do a Danny Gokey for me.

I liked what I wrote. I hope someone else reads it and leaves a comment.
Hi Fred, and all Quest/AI Groupies,
Life has been crazy and I didn’t get to watch last night. I DID, though, learn how to tape from the DVR and just finished watching. I waited ’till after I watched to read your feedback so mine would be straight from my heart.
Ok, here’s what I think—Danny !!!, Alexis !!!, Ricky !!, Jackie !! and I just have to give a !! to Anoop.
These are the people that I would be happy see move on. They all showed the range they are capable of regardless of whether or not I like the song selection.
I was surprised at how well Tatiana did Whitney Houston. I don’t want to see her next week, but she can sing.
This whole thing (rating) is tough for me at the beginning of the season. They ALL can sing and I often feel like who am I to say yea or nay.
We’ll see what America thinks tonight!
Well, looks like this will end any possibility of this becoming the Tatiana Show. Whew, although she was obviously devestated, it was no question that Danny was the one moving on.
I am in agreement with Danny and Alexis to continue, I did not think that Michael has the talent. I think it came down to just a popularity contest between him and Anoop. I would have liked to watch Ricky Braddy continue because I think he has talent and would listen to the feedback to build on the “star qualities”.
Preview of next weeks contestants tells me it is gonna be a tough one. Right off the bat, I recalled many of the faces and remember there being a lot of talent in that 12.
I’m late. I am happy with who made it through, but I saw something in Danny that I didn’t like. He had a touch of arrogance, almost like he knew he was getting through. Even if you know, play the game! I think Alexis is outstanding. Her demeanor is quiet and almost demure off the stage, but when she gets on the stage, she is a different person, she comes alive! It tells me that is where she belongs, kind of like David Cook. Not sure how I feel about the cowboy. Like his story, but don’t think he will go far. I’m still waiting to see how my pick Ju’not (sounds like Juno) will do.
