Danny Gokey’s back, performing My Best Days Are Ahead of Me. It’s good to see him on this stage singing a song that he’s intimately familiar with, that’s perfectly suited for him. It’s a good, solid performance, and I’ve got to think his casual fans from last season that haven’t really heard this song on country radio will be pleased to discover it.
Since Ellen didn’t get a chance to judge him last season, Ryan gives her the opportunity now. “I thought you were fantastic,” says Ellen. “We’re putting you through.” Then Danny bucks for a spot on her show.
Danny relays his story about Randy Travis recommending him consider a career in country and says that conversation set him on his path to Nashville. He also says that he just found out that one of the writers of My Best Days Are Ahead of Me also lost his wife and wrote the song just few months afterward. Danny says he latched onto the song without ever knowing the story.
