Danny Noriega has accepted Rosie O'Donnell's invitation. The American Idol eliminated contestant has taken on the former "The View" co-host's offer to sing on one of her family cruises.

A video clip of the two appeared on O'Donnell's blog.

O'Donnell says, "Look who's on the cruise. Let me say, I love you. I love your attitude. I love your spunk. I love your sassy ways. And I love your voice."

The 18-year-old aspiring singer replies, "I love your guts."

Noriega made it to the top 24 of the hit star search's seventh season but was eliminated before reaching the top 12. He had auditioned last season and made it to the Hollywood rounds but was sent home before making the top 100.
