Good for her though.

The “Allison like”, I think, spilled over to her having a lot of sympathy votes in the middle weeks (when people wanted to save her from the B2 or 3 all those weeks), but those people tended to be, first and foremost, Adam fans, who shifted their votes exclusively to him after the B2 scare (hence why I think she got kicked off the next week).

ITA all of the Idols has people that are following them that aren’t fans. But I doe believe that most of the people following all of them are their fans. I believe that Danny has a legitimately large fanbase. He never hit the bottom three prior to elimination and he survived ‘Dream On’ , even though that performance was the worst of rock night. I believe he as another poster said has a legitmately large fanbase.

This was probably posted before, but I thought it worth re-mentioning. The What Not to Sing analysis of how the fan bases shifted from week to week is a really interesting (though somewhat long) read. It breaks down each week’s performance, and tracks how Adam’s, Danny’s and Kris’s fans shifted week after week. It’s analysis is that Danny peaked early (like around top 13 week), but without standout performances (until Rat Pack week) couldn’t build, while Kris and Adam steadily built their bases (though Adam also built a higher negative base than Kris, which in part contributed to his loss). All speculation, but backed up by fan votes after each performance, and a really interesting read.

Regarding an Anoop record deal, I’m also not really expecting it. He is a great, fun, charismatic guy, and would do well as some kind of tv personality, but he wasn’t really the best singer, or the most consistent, and he never seemed to have a very well defined style on the show. I would have no idea what kind of album he’d actually make. JMO.

some feel is coming from months of ott negativity spewed at Danny so that everything that he writes or says is veiwed through a negative lens.

A lot of people just really, really don’t like what he has said about gay people. That has quite a bit to do with the negativity towards him. Without blaming him for his cousins or thinking that he’s evil, his views on gay people are offensive to many people, straight and gay. I don’t hate the guy, but I’d be reluctant to support an artist who didn’t believe in basic equality.

Afterwards, I thought I was stupid to not definately wish him to stay on because he would be assured the recording contract, and because I felt he deserved to stay. But my emotions had gotten the better of me at that point.

However, when he was singing “You Are So Beautiful” at the end of the show, I bawled like a baby. I’m not one to cry like that, but I could really feel his emotion with that song, and I was a puddle.

A lot of posters on Danny’s Fan sites commented Danny was sexy and cute, of course beauty or sexiness is in the eyes of the beholder, however, they did “explain” they loved Danny’s smile, his goofiness & friendliness, his child-like qualities, plus his muscular arms, and the fact that he is pretty well built, and he is very “huggable” whatever that means.

I am not trying to promote his fan sites, but there is one recently built called http://www.dannygokey-star.com. Though it is still under construction, it seems to be pretty comprehensive in its contents, and if you are a Danny fan, I would encourage you to check if out.

Cried too when he was voted off.

Sexiness is a matter of taste. Adam is a hottie to me (total package), but I do find some other idols attractive/sexy in certain ways. (Including Danny’s arms, altho I like my guys with darker hair. And they have to be tallish). See, totally a matter of taste. :smile2_tb:

I was at a party where I was gushing on Idol and Adam. Finally, someone spoke up and said that she loved Danny and cried when he got voted off. ( I told her I thought Danny had a great voice. ) I think Danny has many fans, maybe not as vocal as the Kris and Adam fans. But I don’t know.

I’m not going to go into why they’re not that sexy unless you really want to know.

As spring2009 said, what does being a hetero female have to do with finding Danny sexy?

I am a young hetero female, and Danny doesn’t do anything for me personally, but I find Adam gorgeous and Kris very attractive.

What does being a hetero female have to do with finding Danny sexy?? I am a hetero female and I find Adam sexy!?

Not sure what the sexy comment, Danny and hetero female comment have to do with each other?

I think Danny has more twitter followers, because there are people waiting for him to say something stupid and jump on it. Adam and Kris are so busy, they don’t have that much time to waste on Twitter.
