Danny Gokey, Germaphobe
Taking a break from tracking the spread of Swine Flu H1N1, I was very sad to see Danny Gokey get eliminated from the Final Three of American Idol a few weeks ago. Out of curiosity, I googled Danny to see if he plans on recording an album (which I would definitely buy, since I've become a die-hard fan).
Instead, I stumbled upon an article titled "More tidbits about Danny Gokey", and among many fascinating facts that I never really wanted to know about Danny, I discover that my favorite AI guy is a germaphobe, according to his brother Charles.
Since I've been trying to find an excuse to blog more about Danny on this infectious diseases website (as I did about his late wife Sophia earlier this year), here came the perfect opportunity!
Germaphobia is a pathological fear of germs. One of my earlier blogs (unrelated to swine flu, that is) examined the relationship between germaphobia and parenthood. I wish I could come up with something clever to say about germaphobia and musicians, but nothing comes to mind. Just another excuse to promote Danny Gokey.

Ingrid, as far as I’m concerned, you never have to find a REASON to blog about Danny Gokey! If I knew how to set up a blog post, I’d do it myself just to talk about him! BTW, the other day he was on a fox morning show called Mike and Juliet and he said he wasn’t a total germaphobe, but he just liked to be clean! It was so cute!
Thanks for being one of the promoters of Danny. I love him so much and can’t WAIT for him to get a cd out with that smokin hot voice of his!
Also, I guess this makes you a Gokette (or Goquette?) That is apparently what Danny’s female fans are calling themselves. LOL! Isn’t that cute!
Thanks for loving Danny! He needs to ‘feel the love’! He is awesome and I’m proud to be another Gokette. His voice is amazing and so distinct. I can’t wait for his music. Blog away!
Dr. Ingrid! Cool! Just love hearing about Dannyphiles wherever they may be! Keep up the Danny blogging and if you haven’t already, check out his itunes! I made a great cd for myself of Danny’s idol songs and I can’t stop playing them! I even played them at school for my ESL students (they had to listen and fill in some blanks) and they LOVED the Gokey!
Your article made my day!
Hey, Ingrid! You totally ROCK, girl! Just had to LOL that you are trying to find an excuse to blog about Danny! I know the obsession! I’m super-smitten with Mr. Gokey, myself.
Maybe your next blog could be about how highly contagious Danny Fever is!!! Thanks!
I’m a germaphobe, too - and I Love love love - Danny Gokey! He’s simply adorable! Cute article
