American Idol contestant used to be a gay stripper
American Idol contestant David Hernandez is trying to entertain audiences with his singing. It seems he has some experience entertaining audiences, just not with his voice. The Associated Press is reporting that he once entertained audiences by removing his clothes. So says manager Gordy Bryan of Dick’s Cabaret, a male strip club in Phoenix. According to Bryn, the the 24-year-old finalist appeared fully nude and even performed lap dances for the club’s “mostly male” clientele.
According to Bryan, David Hernandez was pretty good at being a gay stripper. Bryan said, “He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here.”
I guess if you are going to be a gay stripper, you had better be good at it, especially if you are dancing at Dick’s Cabaret.
I’m not sure how this will effect his position on American Idol. I think they’ve kicked people off the show for less. Then again, it’s not like he did anything illegal.

Who cares if David Hernandez worked at a strip club and was a bartender at a gay bar? Fact is this guy has talent and with the artist we have out there today we need someone with talent.
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to pay the bills before you get the big bucks. Those that point fingers at David need to look at their own lives. I bet they are not as clean and bright as they wish.
How right you are Michael. Who among us has not been tempted to shake our money maker at Dick’s Cabaret?
Who cares? Does it infringe on your ability to pursue your self interest?
You’re right Darren. It shouldn’t matter that he was once a lap dancer at Dick’s Cabaret. The focus should be on selecting someone that will make a good pop music idol.
Was anyone else shocked by this news? I was like, “Holy shit, if this guy is gay, anyone could be!”
It’s not that he is gay. A lot of good and upstanding people are gay. It’s that he used to take off all his cloths and perform lap dances for men at a place called Dick’s Cabaret.
