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!

    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.

    Too bad he didn't/couldn't perform this number - he wouldn't have left so quickly!

    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.

    108

    Holy shit, he SANG that song! Why the hell was he kicked off?

  9. jeff says – reply to this


    109

    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.

    that was seriously really good. he was much better here than on idol. he has a nice voice. and i love his sass.

    112

    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.

  13. me2 says – reply to this


    113

    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!!!!!!!

  14. Chrissy says – reply to this


    114

    absolutely LOVED him for seeing this song.
    it was so good.

  15. luke says – reply to this

    HE IS KILLER!!!!!!!

  16. john says – reply to this


    116

    he isnt afraid to be himself.
    he is stellar.
    i look up and am so proud of him.

  17. Sara says – reply to this


    117

    WOW! What a perfect song for him to sing…thanks for posting this Perez!!

  18. bri says – reply to this


    118

    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.

  19. girl wannabe says – reply to this


    119

    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

  20. Eddie says – reply to this


    120

    Perez…….This Danny guy makes you look like Chuck Norris.

  21. teenieweenie says – reply to this


    121

    Had his personality not been showcased, he would have lasted longer. His voice is clear and pure - his demeanor is not pleasant.

  22. violets says – reply to this


    122

    meehh…i like sonic youth's version better. They kick ass :)

  23. Hello Kitty says – reply to this


    123

    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.

  24. Jenny says – reply to this


    124

    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!

  25. kellyyy says – reply to this

    He's singing the version done by Bette Midler off of her debut 1972 album "THE DIVINE MISS M".

  28. JMinATL says – reply to this


    128

    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!

  29. Angie says – reply to this


    129

    I love that song and his performance of it!! I wish he was still on the show! =[

  30. lolly says – reply to this


    130

    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!

  31. stonededgurl says – reply to this


    131

    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.

  32. PghDana says – reply to this


    132

    I smiled the whole way through his performance :) :):) He's fantastic

  33. bi says – reply to this


    133

    great performance. it seems all of the kick offs seem to be so much more comfortable on stage after the fact huh?

  34. squeaky945 says – reply to this


    134

    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.

  35. awww says – reply to this


    135

    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!

  36. heather says – reply to this


    136

    this guy is wicked! freaks me out how deep his voice is when he sings tho but he is so spunky, loves it!

  37. Melissa says – reply to this


    137

    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.

  38. lisalu says – reply to this

    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?

  40. Derek says – reply to this

    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.

  46. polly says – reply to this


    146

    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.

  47. UKer says – reply to this


    147

    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.

  50. EWWW says – reply to this


    150

    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!

  61. Alice says – reply to this


    161

    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.

  62. Erin says – reply to this


    162

    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

  63. red says – reply to this


    163

    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.

  66. Nanaama says – reply to this


    166

    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.

  67. emolicious says – reply to this


    167

    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.

  70. Amanda says – reply to this


    170

    He's AMAZING! What a great voice. He should still be there, American Idol is boring without him.

  71. valerie says – reply to this


    171

    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")

    176

    He's such an awesome singer. Who cares if he's gay. He's a real cuttie patootie!

  77. LT says – reply to this


    177

    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…

  78. BrittenFabulous says – reply to this


    178

    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?

  86. WellWhatTHeFudge says – reply to this


    186

    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.

  87. informed nica says – reply to this


    187

    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.

  88. MissWhatever says – reply to this


    188

    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.

    189

    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!

    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….
