For the record, if a female American Idol contestant had a stripping past, she'd be booted from the show in no time.

It's now been confirmed that this season seven semifinalist worked as a dancer at at Dick's Cabaret, appearing fully nude and giving lap dances to the club's "mostly male" clientele, the Associated Press reports.

"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," club manager Gordy Bryan said.

Hernandez reportedly worked there for three years until last September. Do you think this should disqualify him from the show?
