Record Execs Think Hernandez Still Muy Caliente!

Posted Mar 13th 2008 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

Don't let his early exit from "Idol" fool you -- David Hernandez is still hot ... and we don't mean those stripper pics!

TMZ spoke to several H-Wood record execs who are still dying to work with David. We're told the thinking is.... strike while the iron is hot and release a quick single rather than wait and release a full album. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

As TMZ first reported, the biggie publishing companies singled out David Hernandez and David Archuleta early on and told songwriters to create tunes tailored for them.

31. david has talent, he could be a better dancer. and singing the beatles tunes is not his best work, he should have sung something more soulful

32. Cute, gay, stripper, yes, yes yes!! Singer - NO

This guy was so dorkus - can't dance - definitely can't sing.

36. To number 28 made the comparison to Frenchie. The difference is photographs. Frenchie and the other girl who was tossed off the show had pictures that went public. Other than the few pics of him shirtless at a bar there have been no nude photos of him to surface that I have seen and quite frankly don't you think they would have surfaced by now if there had been nude pics or lap dances photos? As to your inane comments about him being effeminate, they do not even rate response. Back to your doublewide where you belong.

37. We all now it wasn't the lack of talent that got him booted off - It's sad we're still judging people - like we have the right. It's sad - just sad.

38. I agreed with Simon and thought his performance was corny. He seems like a cruise ship performer.

In fairness this week is the first week I watched the show so I haven't seen him do anything else but he didn't exactly motivate me to be interested whereas I have checked out some of the other contestants.

39. I was surprised to see him go. He isn't the best one there but WAY better than Amanda. I guess, like last year with Sanjaya, Vote for the Worst is keeping her in. (Not that she is any where near a bad as Sanjaya). Why do they keep showing him in the audience....I thought we were rid of him for good.

41. Oh and # 36. Do you really know of any strip clubs, fully nude or otherwise, that allow cameras to be used. Give me a break. Stop trying to push your own agenda into the mainstream. He should have been dropped for that like Frenchie was, and not supposedly voted off. You'e not in the music biz and have no idea whar your talkin about

42. To 41.....The hypocrisy of your argument is staggering.....So you are saying that the mainstream viewpoint is that people should vote against him based upon past activity that has yet to be proven??? My friend, that is the ignorant mentality that is truly at the heart of everything that is wrong with this country. No dear Pecklesnooch, the true mainstream let's facts not hearsay dictate what happens. Even the Idol producers would appear to have applied that standard. Whilst in my humble opinion he was not nearly as good as the remaining contestants, he was certainly better than the girl.

43. I'm in Europe, and if he would release here "Papa is a rolling stone" Me and many others would buy it in a sec. Who cares what the man does with his own a... or what he does for a living? He's REALLY talented. Grow up people, americans can be so narrow-minded sometimes! Relax, if you don't like the guy, just don't buy his music, as simple as that.

44. I feel bad about this...the guy had a sleek sound and was gung ho...(no ho jokes)...the light went out in him week by week...he was distracted, disheartened and defensive...I hope he turns it around and finds the right niche for his work...finds some deeper meaning in this whole thing and let's it show in his craft.

45. I WAS SO MAD David got the boot last night!!! Kristy Lee Cook needed to be voted off... I would buy an album or definately a single tomorrow if it were available! DAVID YOU RULE, don't let the haters get you down! Lots of love from Illinois!
