The Gokey-hate is spreading like wildfire, seaguy. This should be a fun season simply because the major outlets seem to be on the same page in rooting against the guy. At this rate, he's not going to last long. I can see Simon start de-pimping him stat.

Apparently there was a dead wife Daniel on X-Factor? Also, I heard that the last few years there have been a lot of sob stories on Simon's shows in the UK, and that he recently noted he was sick of all the sappy stories and just wanted to focus on the talent. That's probably why we saw him looking unimpressed as the other judges worshipped at the Church of Gokey this past week.

More from Gokey's press conference:

Why did you pick "Heard it Through the Grapevine" to sing for your audition? It showed my range. It was a fun song. The No. 1 thing is that it showed my ability. That was the whole point singing that song.

Were you wearing different eyeglasses last night? Yeah, I hadn't worn them on the show. I actually have a couple of more pairs that I want to wear, but they haven't been approved because they have logos on them. Hopefully that works out because I love wearing different kind of glasses.

I wanted to know how you feel about the reaction Jamar has gotten? As you can see from the show, I was mad [when he got eliminated]. I had a pretty upset look on my face. I expected him to go through. I even said "I'll see you in the top 36″ when we were talking. I was so confident that he showed his ability. Disappointment was completely in my heart and mind. He's received such recognition, though, I know he's going to be fine. It only gets better for him from here.

How is it not having Jamar there with you? I hope people take this the right way - at this point in the game, it's easier. I feel more emotionally stable. I wanted him to be here, but I'm so thankful he was in Hollywood. Hollywood was very tough for me. I was miserable inside. Only he knew that because I poured my heart out to him.

Tatiana was next to you during the results show. Was it hard to stay composed? With Tatiana, you expect the unexpected. But she really is a great person. I mean she wants it so bad and you see the desire and passion in her. At times it can maybe hurt her image on TV…. With me, I looked calm and cool, but on the inside, I felt kind of like a wreck. I hope that it doesn't come off that way to the viewers. My whole thought process was I was preparing myself to go home. Tatiana showed up that night when she sang. She had the surprise element. I was saying to myself, "Well, I got my message across." I wanted to go out gracefully.

They showed a photo of your wife last night. Do you keep a memento of her when you perform? She's in my heart and you can never take that away. I don't hang on to charms or mementos. She's so ingrained in my heart and mind, she's a part of who I am.
