American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, was in charge of one of the song choices for Top 3 contestant, Danny Gokey. She picked “Dance Little Sister” by Terence Trent D’Arby and I think it was a corny and dumb selection. She could have picked something that the audience would have been more familiar with while allowing Danny to be who he is. I didn’t like it but I think Danny did the very best that he could with what he was given. It was high energy and I loved the scatting.
Randy said that Danny sounded good and had a lot of energy and said it was “dope.” Kara said that she liked that Paula picked that song because it keeps him in his “money zone” but thought the singing was too girating. Paula said that she is a choreographer and believed that Danny did “really good.” Simon agreed that the dancing was a bit desperate but that it was very, very good vocally. He didn’t like the sax solo, though.

[...] Gokey sang “Dance Little Sister” (chosen by Paula) and the judges seemed to like it but Kara criticized his dancing. Paula [...]
Horrible, sucky 80’s song with no range, just a hard driving obnoxious beat, god he did the best he could with it…but…is Paula deliberately trying to sabotage Danny? I mean, somebody should check Paula’s meds – or give her some!
Danny was SUBLIME in his second song. He’s the only singer who produces any feelings in me when he sings. Adam is a great performer, but so cold. Kris…I just don’t notice him at all. Gimme my Gokey any day! I love him!
