For Danny Gokey, the show must go on after American Idol

For top 3 finalist Danny Gokey (GO'-key), the show must go on even after getting voted off of "American Idol" on Wednesday night. In addition to the massive tour set for this summer with the rest of the top 10 finalists, the former church music director will devote more time to Sophia's Heart Foundation, an organization he started in honor of his wife Sophia, who died during surgery for a congenital heart defect last summer.

The 29-year-old Milwaukee native is also thinking about launching his own eyeglass line and recording a "soulful" album with rhythm and blues blended with salsa and merengue beats.

According to the Associated Press, "Gokey was voted off the popular Fox singing competition Wednesday night. In a conference call Thursday, Gokey said his much-talked about scream at the end of Aerosmith's "Dream On" might have been a variable in getting voted off."
