Here are my  thoughts. When you really think about who the real winner is, it's really the ones who are let go before the final show because they aren't stuck in an American Idol Contract forced to do the music and all of the other things they are made to do whether they like it or not. They aren't usually free to do their own music.

Now Danny can get on a Label where he can do the music he loves to do and play the venues he wants to play. He is able to do his own negotiating. He will actually have a say in what will happen in his career. He is going to go far without winning AI just like Chris Daughtry.

All three guys will do well they have incredible talent.
