American idol contestant a strip tease performer?

David Hernandez who has been scrutinized the past few days because of an old job he used to have stripping as a dancer at an all male club years ago is finally speaking. Here is what he tells EW.com, "American Idol contestant David Hernandez has finally broken his silence on press reports that he performed nude, reportedly for a "mostly male" clientele, at a Phoenix, Arizona, strip club called Dick's Cabaret. "You know, honestly, I'm here to sing," Hernandez told EW.com at the Idol Top 12 party in West Hollywood on March 6. The singer appeared cool-headed and relaxed, despite the controversy. "I think America's judging us all off of our voices right now. Obviously they were, because I'm still in the Top 12, thank God. So I'm not really concerned with what's going on [with those reports]. I'm just focused on singing, because that's what I'm here to do."

We say, exactly. Who cares what ANY of them did before Idol-they are here to sing and we agree with America-the top 12 chosen is the best to date we think!
