You Know You Missed Him

Filed under: American Idol > Ellen DeGeneres > Danny Noriega

Princess Daniela Alba was on Ellen today.

Click here to check out her appearance!

P.S. All kidding aside…

Dany performed an EXQUISITE rendition of one of our favorite songs of all time, The Carpenters's Superstar.

Such a shame he didn't get to compete longer!

To each is own and everyone should live their lives and being gay myself I think the swishy, girlie mannerism some gays put on are just to draw more attention to themselves….like "Look at me!! someone please, I need attention!"

Dick Lover says – reply to this

21

He's got a fantastic voice and should have just concentrated on being a singer. But NO, he has to try to be the most flaming queen around and that's why he's gone! No one cares if you suck dick or not, just stop being a flamer! Go Jason Castro!!!!!

I love him, he is so talented. Gay teens need a confident sucessful peer in the music industry!!! GO Danny!!!!!!!!

If he weren't gay, you wouldn't give a fuck about him. Not only that, you would tear him apart.

Re: bathog – I disagree with your statement that you feel he was given a spot on idol because of the gay card. He was given a spot inspite of it. He has an amazing presence and musical style and is going to come into his own. He does lose the gayness when he sings. He will become more masculine with age and maturity.
bathog says – reply to this

30

fuck you deedee. why these gay guys are so popular with hetero women is a mystery. it must be sympathy. gay does not equal talent.
acee says – reply to this

he so gorgeous and has a beautiful voice.. i cant wait to see what he does in the future!

Is it really necessary for Ellen and Danny to wear matching outfits? but I love both of them!!

So what if he's feminine, so what!!!!!!! He's young and he's has alot of living to do.So what if he's feminine.Get over it people.

She was so ungrateful, and there were better singers than her. The competition was just too fierce for her. The only thing she had going for her was her bad girl attitude, and that got old real quick. Now she can go on Rosie's cruise and open up a glory hole on the Lido deck.
umnotsure says – reply to this

37

oh that sucks, he used all his 15 mins on one shot. Unless rosie hooks him up with cleanin dishes on her lesbo cruise

DannyLover says – reply to this

41

It was a HUGE mistake to let Danny go. The show isn't the same without him and i HATE how rude Simon was to him, it was basically personal attacking and he could've at least told him what to do better instead of just humiliating the poor guy. He'll become a bigger star then whoever wins this show.
Eddie says – reply to this

42

This kid is an awesome singer. He got voted off for being so ambiguos. he's talented though!
Lindsey says – reply to this

43

I heart Danny!!!

Perez stop distracting me from studying for my midterms! =)
jenny says – reply to this

44

Aww he was good. I think he should have stayed longer. He sounded better here than he did on Idol tho so maybe the pressure is getting to all the contestants?!

Vote 4 DAVID ARCHULETA… THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!

all the "in" gays are have been in ellen Perez and Ryan Seacreast should be next
Pattycake says – reply to this

46

I think he is adorable!…..
stewart says – reply to this

47

i think his attitude didn't match his talent and that's why he didn't last…i don't think it had anything to do with his sexual orientation…He just never delivered a great performance once he made it in the top 12 men…..with the bravado he performed with it was hard to take him seriously sometimes cause he wasn't backing it up with his voice…i think he might have better vocals than one or two the guys that made the top 12 but he just never nailed a performance good vocally
Stacy says – reply to this

48

It's really sad when an incredible voice gets overshadowed by negative images of someone's personality. I am really impressed with the Latin flair on this years AI.. I wonder if Perez is hoping for a Spanish language song this year. And if someone like Archuleta wins, will there be a few bilingual ballads on his album?
Woody says – reply to this

49

Danny is really a great talent; I really agree he should of gotten to compete longer…I feel like Idol is really afraid of coming off gay…I hate That!!!

Re: bathog – Bathog is a closet Retardican and doesn't know it yet.
I think you are having a major reaction formation probably formed as a result of your repressed attraction to Danny.
Let me explain. You are attracted to Danny and you don't want to be.
Go make yourself another knuckle baby.

He should have sung that song instead. Can he turn it down a notch or two, though? He's over the top flamboyant.

54

PEREZ….SHUT THE FUCK UP! He got kicked off for a reason….he fuckin' sucked dick…metaphorically speaking….but I'm sure the literally part hurt him in the vote as well.
Lori says – reply to this

55

I can't stand this kid. His voice is average and he's amazingly annoying. I hope he doesn't become the poster child for all things gay, because there are certainly a LOT more talented people in the gay community.
Stacy says – reply to this

56

Re: Eddie – I agree– it's about the ambiguity. Remember supposedly Marc Hernandez from Idol 1 left the show– speculation he was gay or bi. It's sad to think but I do think the general voting population is more comfortable voting for "someone like them"- hetero, caucasion. LOL. Anyway I just viewed a video of Chekize performing at a church, and d@mn– he has an incredible voice– definately better than the "random" clips of Archuleta and Hernandez. I need to vote… Chekize for the guys. Hmm…. now for the girls??

Re: me –
Can you read, ME? Perez was the first to report about Spitzer and has been keeping updates for the last few days. You sure are quick to jump to conclusions, and why so hostile?? Next time do your research before you go around getting all accusatory.
BeBe says – reply to this

60

No - it isn't a shame that he didn't get to stay on A.I. and continue in the competition. He was voted off for a very good reason - he was the worst of the remaining group. Yes - he can sing ok but I'm glad his arrogant flaming ass is gone off the show. His old blurb on youtube set the stage re what he really is like. He's a loser and I hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame as it is up!

Superstar was written by the great Leon Russell and performed by Rita Coolidge in the early seventies. Even though the Carpenters had a hit with it, I have a hard time thinking of it as their song. It was referred to in Juno that way, too, by a character who was into classic rock probably would have known about Leon Russell.

63

OMG! i love danny! he's so fabulous! why the fuck didn't he sing a song like THAT during the competition?? grrr…o well. he's probably better off not being on American Idol…they're kinda just a bunch of dick-tators. but whatev. i still think he's UBER FABULOUS!!

Re: Dick Lover –
I totally agree.!! Go Jason Castro and the only reason Danny is getting attention is because he is gay…so he is Flaming it up MORE,,,for the attention. Annoying. it makes u forget is nice vioce.
bangyouout says – reply to this

71

he's talented as fuck, but as long as he still has a cock between his legs, he shouldn't be curtsying at the end of a fuckin song.
lamipy says – reply to this

72

Why is it that all of the gays are embracing this kid (i.e. Rosie, Ellen and Perez)? If he wasn't such a flamer, you would have absolutely NO interest. But I guess everyone deserves their 15 minutes of fame, huh?!!
donphilip says – reply to this

73

wow his voice was amazing in this ..
amazing i loved it so much
fried chicken says – reply to this

74

Tears! That was so great, I didn't want him to end it! I don't even watch Idol anymore. It sucks! I think he's better off without them, and all the pressure. Now he can reach the top at his own pace. He seems to be doing just fine with the backing of all the GLBT movers and shakers who love him. Idol is weak. They only care about who will make the most money, even if the music completely sucks (cuntry music star Underwood comes to mind). All Idol wants is record sales at Wal Mart. He's going to leave them in his dust!
Sam says – reply to this

75

WOW, he was so much better on Ellen than he was on Idol. He should have sang more ballods. I think he would still be on the show if he did.

77

Are you kidding…exquisite performance? He sounded like a cat scratching the door to get in…annoying…hot mess! And what about that rude Christmas video that he did??? We all know why Ellen had him on her show…tranny!
Noriegay says – reply to this

78

Man, this kid is so gay I feel gay just watching him. How does a teenage kid even know how to be that gay? Read a few more books though kid. If you're gonna be that gay it will help you to be smart.
Jayla says – reply to this

79

He was amazing, and when Ellen said"They made a big mistake", you can tell Danny was really upset. Cause it's obvious America didn't vote him off. Producers did. Still love him, can not wait to see more of him

good voice but try not to shove the gay thing down everybody's throat

America can't handle a gay winning, and the thought of a gay teenager winning is just too much for your little yankee doodle minds!

He really is a great singer, and such a carefree spirit. hopefully somebody in the industry will snag him and give him a shot at a record deal or something.

I was SOOOOOOOO glad he left… thank god, AI is not for Divas and Mariah Carey's wanabees…
When Ryan said he was kicked out this was such a moment of joy, we all danced in the living room…

He'll end up in a strip club for older gentlemen (or die of OD)

Bye Danny, we'll miss you ………………. NOT

THE HOMOPHOBIC COMMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE DISGUST ME.
THIS SITE IS RUN BY A GAY MAN, YET IT HAS THE WORST HOMOPHOBIA I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY SITE.
PEREZ, YOU NEED TO SORT THIS SHIT OUT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP BUT HOMOPHOBIA, JUST LIKE RACISM IS A HATE CRIME, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR READERS TO REGISTER IF THEY WANT TO POST.
THIS SHIT HYAS GOT TO STOP.
Sashi says – reply to this

Ha ! he really does look like Jessica !
Iris says – reply to this

Wow! He sounds so good there, a little better than he did on American Idol. They should have kept him on longer.

Dude/Princess, you cannot sing
yngona says – reply to this

89

I dont watch AI. Dont care, no interest. This story caught my eye because of the 'christmas video' he did. Wow! This kid can sing. I cant believe they booted him off, or at least, he didnt make the top 12. How good are the remaining singers? Or, was it because he is .. well, not their definition of an 'American Idol'? ::Hhmm::
ding dong says – reply to this

Karen Carpenter owns that song and always will. Rita did an ok cover, but KC's version is the defining version.
marcy says – reply to this

91

i'm sorry - but danny the tranny needs to go elsewhere - i'm fine w/ people being themselves, but sometimes being yourself is just downright annoying - and that's what he is. if he would just sing and lose the rest of the "tude" - it would be nice. i think he'd be fabulous headlining a drag show in vegas - you know, find your niche!
WHATEVER says – reply to this

92

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??? He ACTUALLY sounded GREAT!! And he wasn't NEARLY as annoying as he usually is. Wow, I'm in shock. Now, if he would've sang like that he would still been on AI perhaps.
Ashley says – reply to this

i think he looks like miley cyrus

If he would have sang that on Idol he would probably still be there. I think he is truly talented..who cares if he's gay or not. He is what he is..Let it be..

Way to over the top, he boarders on annoying.

'Very Psychotic' Madonna Stalker Escapes From Mental Hospital!

This is terrifying!

Very early this morning, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, a man who was convicted of stalking and threatening Madonna, has escaped from a mental hospital in Norwalk, CA.

The LAPD are describing the man as follows:

"...A very psychotic man when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies."

According to the LAPD, Hoskins served 10 years in prison for his actions against Madonna, and he was placed in the Norwalk mental hospital after "an additional run-in with police."

Stay safe, Madonna! We know the police are doing everything in their power to find this dangerous man!
