Pull a Gokey

When an American Idol contestant repeatedly mentions a family member or friend who is either a) dying or b) dead, in an attempt to garner sympathy from the judges, and while they're at it, your votes.

Person A: Hey, didn't Katie Stevens dedicate her audition to that dead friend of hers?

Person B: Yeah, didn't she totally pull a Gokey on the judges?
