Danny Gokey Messes Up In Milwaukee

And you thought his scream was bad—Danny Gokey‘s performance of “Billie Jean” during his Milwaukee homecoming would have steam coming out of Simon Cowell‘s ears. Blaming a lyric sheet that blew away, Gokey stands silently at first, before arguing with the back-up singers (one announcing “I’d leave it to the professionals!”), messing up the arrangement (“but the key changed!”) and basically getting run over by a merciless band that refuses to let him find his place. Were they big Allison Iraheta fans?

“That’s all I got for you, Milwaukee—I don’t know the words!” If that’s the case, why was he singing it in the first place? Hopefully he’ll learn the words if he’s performing it again for Tuesday’s Top 3. [video via VFTW]
