You Know You Missed Him
Filed under: American Idol > Ellen DeGeneres > Danny NoriegaPrincess 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!

He sounded great, I wish he would've chosen this song to perform on Idol. He has an amazingly beautiful face and comes across very sweet. I love him for being himself.
sonice youth covered this song too.. way better.
oh i love her!
Too bad he didn't/couldn't perform this number - he wouldn't have left so quickly!
Cute kid
I do hope this won't be it for Danny. Sometimes a boy can't help being a bit girly. We need a girly boy icon! Work hard Danny! We're counting on you, hopefully someone will give you a chance.
he's such a fag he makes fags hate him. He is way over the type.
Holy shit, he SANG that song! Why the hell was he kicked off?
He should totally go to Japan. They would love him there and he'd make millions. All the boys are skinny like that and have the same hairstyle there. He'd become a household word there.
Re: Kiki the shrimp – Go kill yourself.
that was seriously really good. he was much better here than on idol. he has a nice voice. and i love his sass.
OMG…I didn't realize Danny Noriega was that good…he should have been in idol longer…and WTF is up with all these hateful comments to Perez…you guys are freakin' haters. Pissed cause you didn't come up with the idea first.
What's the big deal about this guy? He had a nasty attitude from the start and his performances sucked! I'm beyond tired of seeing him all over the place on tv and online why just because he's openly gay? Who the hell cares if he is or if he isn't he still can't sing!!!!!!!
absolutely LOVED him for seeing this song.
it was so good.
WE LOVEEE DANNY!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
HE IS KILLER!!!!!!!
he isnt afraid to be himself.
he is stellar.
i look up and am so proud of him.
WOW! What a perfect song for him to sing…thanks for posting this Perez!!
all you haters need to shut up. He is talented and so what if he is gay. He has an amazing voice so stop bashing other people and get a life. He is on the most watched television show so for some of you to say he is famous for being gay, I would think again. I wouldnt call the top 24 on american idol shit, i didnt see you up there.
to be gay…..ok with me….but to act soooooooo girlie is another thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway, he should really be on stage acting and singing.
he is a pretty good singer
Perez…….This Danny guy makes you look like Chuck Norris.
Had his personality not been showcased, he would have lasted longer. His voice is clear and pure - his demeanor is not pleasant.
meehh…i like sonic youth's version better. They kick ass
He sounded like he was singing in the key of Cher.
While I don't think he would have won AI, I still think he should have made the top 12.
He actually has an awesome voice… Maybe if he hadn't tried to act out the gayness so much he would still be on the show, but he was wayyyyyyyy too theatrical and showy.
Oh well…that's life!
LOVE LOVE LOVE him!! He gave my goosebumps goosebumps LOL

hey #11 KKK
your a fucking assholio….inbred….nasty mo-fo……
He's singing the version done by Bette Midler off of her debut 1972 album "THE DIVINE MISS M".
Danny is one of the most repulsive performers to appear on the show ever. If not the most. There's something to be said for being out and proud, be he is no positive representation for gay people. Good riddance and may his 10 minutes be over!
I love that song and his performance of it!! I wish he was still on the show! =[
He does have a great voice but does need to tone it down a bit - the O.T.T campness is starting to bug me!
all I know is that his personality on AI was annoying. If you're already famous, you can act like a self-righteous, stuck-up, snotty child. Not if you're just starting. I honestly think the kid needs a serious wake-up call before he blows himself out of the music scene entirely.
I smiled the whole way through his performance
:):) He's fantastic
great performance. it seems all of the kick offs seem to be so much more comfortable on stage after the fact huh?
I love this kid's voice and was so dismayed to see him voted off. I wasn't planning on watching Idol this year, since it jumped the shark two seasons ago but after hearing the buzz about Danny I decided to give it a go. And then he was voted off that week. Grrr. Here's to hoping we see more from Princess Daniela.
p.s. that cute little curtsy at the end of his performance on Ellen was just too too precious.
awww i miss danny so much! im so pissed he got off so early! stupid overmeyer should be gone and he should be there! love ya danny!
this guy is wicked! freaks me out how deep his voice is when he sings tho but he is so spunky, loves it!
Danny was great. I loved him. The only reason he is gone is cause they dont want a christmas ranter.
He is a great singer, and I loved that version of Superstar. Its a great song.
He sucks, and not in a good way.
I want to punch him the throat and keep on punching until he stops breathing - is that wrong?
He is hotter than Jessica Alba!!! He sang well too
Re: asswipe – you are a hateful cunt, i hope you get runover by a truck, the world doesn't need ppl like you in it.
danny is twice the man you'll ever be you fucking douche nozzle.
homophobes should be burnt alive.
two words chikese:
EAT SHIT
OMG I HAPPEN TO AGREE W ELLEN LOVE THAT SONG DANNY WAS GREAT WE WILL SEE THIS KID GO FAR
Really…excellent voice…
Just tone it down dude…personality too big
I LOVE HIM!, Daniela Alba ROCKS!
Okay, we get it…you're gay. Enough already with the fem mannerisms…you're a boy not some space cadet girl. He may be the most annoying person in the world.
Re: lolly – why the fuck should he tone it down? that's who he is.
AMERICANSS ARE SO FUCKING IGNORANT.
IF THIS KID HAD BEEN ON THE X FACTOR IN THE UK HE WOULD HAVE DONE VERY WELL.
Dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…rocks my socks, even my straight friends think his pretty he he DANNY I LOVE U
p.s canada loves perezzzziii
this performance was great! I wish he was still in the competition. anyone else think that he should become friends with christian siriano from project runway?
I HATE FAIRIES!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS THE POINT OF ACTING LIKE A GIRL IF U HAVE A COCK? I NEVER GOT THAT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST GAYS, I HAVE A GAY COUSIN AND A GAY NEIGHBORS A MANY FRIENDS, BUT WHYYYYY ACT LIKE THIS? THIS "MAN" IS SAD, SHAME FOR BEING SUCH A LITTLE CUNT!
I like his voice & I think he's kinda funny.
I miss him not being on Idol but that's the way that show goes.

he killed that song! that was a great version!
Too gay to function…
PS. perez is cool
danny was robbed. he should have made the top 12.
it's LEON RUSSELL'S "SUPERSTAR" he wrote it.SEE SOME GOOD THINGS COME FROM OKLAHOMA. and I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS, BUT DANNI'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD VOICE FOR A LITTLE GIRL. and that bitch from OKC is just OKLAHOMAPHOBIC!!!! she jus needs a good vibritor
What an awesome pure voice. AND what a wonderful gay!
oh just love that voice…..
Is he related to Jessica Alba? He kinda looks like her. I wish he acted more homo, damn hehe
He's wonderful. He has a beautiful voice. He has a fantastic future ahead of him, I think. I love the song he sang, too. he should have sang that. Oh well. He's got Ellen and Rosie in his corner, and they've got muy mucho fuerta in the entertainment world. He's sittin' on the top of the world. Really.
This kid can sing however his attitude is what got him kicked off. He was a diva from the start and people don't like that. If you notice the contestants that are humble go further!!!!!!! Love ya Perez!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
He was off key for much of the song. And besides, it was his snarky attitude that got him kicked off. He's an extremely unlikable person.
what a friggin cutie i love that guy!
Am I missing something?Danny is effeminate, but that doesn´t make him gay ,does it?
Am I missing something?Danny is effeminate, but that doesn´t make him gay ,does it?Yes he is cute andhas a good voice,but his last performance was not up to scratch.Truly that was the end of the road for him.
ok no offince to anybody but dayum he is so fine and if he wernt totally gay i would so do him
Everybody knows that Perez is a Douche..and it's each and every one of ares dirty little secret to go on this site and read stupid gossip about celebrities..
You like it when he splashes celebs u hate…But when we does it to celebs u love..u juste want to kick the fucking shit out of him…
Perez, ur a Douche.. get a life, Why don't u stop typing that Britney is getting fat, and start typing out a new dieting plan because the one u got defenetly isn't working bitch! Dedee is a GIRL name by theway moron!
OMg. The voice that comes out of that boy. He is amazing. Screw everyone who didnt vote for him.
He's AMAZING! What a great voice. He should still be there, American Idol is boring without him.
I was actually surprised that he was voted off. Was it truly America or was it producers? I guess we will never know. There are certainly other contestants on that show that should have gone before him. As far as being "too gay"… I guess that really doesnt matter. yes, his flame was a little too bright, but he has a phenomenal voice and that's all that matters. David Hernandez stripped FULLY NUDE at gay bars for men and women, but he is still on the show. I think Danny will go on to better things… just milk that 15 minutes for all it's worth… because once it's gone… ITS GONE! Good luck, princess! (By the way, perezito, I love the pet name "Princess Daniela Alba")
Thank you Perez
I Love Danny
Very good job.I guess thats a gay song,cause I like that song too.Now I know the titile.
America fucked up!!!! He should have been top 3!!!!
Nice voice and interpretation of "Superstar." Who cares if he's fem?
He's such an awesome singer. Who cares if he's gay. He's a real cuttie patootie!
I don't even watch Idol… this is the only video I've seen of Danny, and I was very impressed by his talent. I hope he is able to further his career… we need more people in the music industry willing to be themselves…
I am completely braindead when it comes to hearing all this news about Danny.
He's just another cop out in American Idol, who wasn't good enough to stay..
just because he's gay-it makes more of a difference?
Not that I really have to explain my reasoning or logic of thinking,
but to stop the opinion dissenting-I am not homophobic, or anything else you people might like to spew at me for disliking him.
He cannot perform. Why is it that no one is talking to other eliminated guests?
Possibly because they happen to be straight?
Perez dear, last week it was this mess: Daniela.
This week, you love David- Whats next? Everyone mad because they dropped the latin stripper?? Wtf?
Luther also song this song.
luther also sung this song
I have to agree. That was great!
I love him. He can sing and he's got the best hair! Stop picking on him he's a kid! A very talented kid!
I lurve him hes so great! Who care about how he acts as long as its not hurting anyone.
looooove danny!
he's such an incredible singer. love his voice too!
haa haa.
i never realized that he acctually looks like jessica alba haa haa.
Hmm, I think that Ellen SO wanted him to shout, "I'm GAY & proud of it!!"…but he didn't. She gave him like three chances to say it, but he just sat there with that smug look on his face. THAT is what got his arse kicked off of there, his attitude. It's shitty. Also, the only reason that Rosie is inviting him to go on her cruise is because he is gay. That's wrong. I have nothing against gay people at all. But this kid is just plain annoying, whether he was straight, gay, bi, whatever. His voice is not bad though.
Everyone I know who watches AI actually celebrated when this annoying young boy was voted off. He is not talented enough to be as rude and pretentious as he showed himself to be. Gayness was not an issue. I believe that at least 2 or 3 of the remaining contestants are gay. They are not obnoxious and don't have personalities that get on the audience's nerves. Any one of them or the remaining contestants could win and we'd all be satisfied. We're just happy this pretentious idiot is gone.
I heart Danny too!
Simon criticizes performances, not performers…and don't forget it's just an opinion.
Danny rocks for making it as far as he did.
WOW!!! I haven't watched Idol all season, but this young person is amazing! AMAZAZING! Oh I hope he has a career in singing even though Simon dissed him! Seems like a nice kid, too. I likey!
I just LOVE him!!
why didn't he sing THAT song on idol???
I CAN NOT WAIT till this bitches 15 minutes is up.
Ellen. You can do better than that. Stop it. just stop it.
thanks for much for posting this! i love him.
1. does anyone on here know the original version? Its way better…def. should not be a ballad.
2. hes got a good voice…but like i said on number 1. the song is made for rock…not some girlie ballad.
Thats all….
omg i love him & his voice!
he's soo cute.
Don't watch Idol, Loved this kid and his voice…
OMG I LOVE DANY NORIEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Heys gorgeous and his voice is so sweeeeet.
that was such a great performance! he left waaay too early
yes, i missed him! thank you for posting this video, perez…danny is so talented and seems like such a great kid…who the hell cares if he's gay? i love that he's authentic and i hope he will go far! love him!!!
