Wisconsin Wire – AP Feed Detail Required fields are marked with an asterisk() MILWAUKEE (AP) ”American Idol” finalist Danny Gokey is willing to go
on other reality shows. The 29-year-old former church music director said Tuesday he’d like to try ”Dancing With The Stars,” because the ”Idol” judges told him he couldn’t dance. Gokey was back in Milwaukee for a free event Tuesday night at the Riverside Theater. He wanted to thank his hometown for its support and raise awareness and money for his charity, Sophia’s Heart Foundation. He said his first priorities are the foundation and making his album, for which he’s already started writing songs. But he said he’d consider doing reality TV if it gives the foundation more exposure. ”I don’t know if that will fall into line with the vision of where I am going right now,” he said. ”I think it’s very important not to be sidetracked with anything else but to accomplish this one thing and maybe try a few things later.”
He started the charity in memory of his wife, Sophia, who died last summer after surgery for a congenital heart defect.
