Danny Gokey's Scream

As the weeks progressed, it became apparent that Danny Gokey knew he had to give 150% in order to outdo Adam Lambert. So when rock ‘n roll week hit, Danny decided to do Aerosmith’s "Dream On," complete with the scream at the end. According to Simon, the sound that came out of Danny was horrific, and Danny went home two weeks later. The yell heard ‘round the world, perhaps?
