Noriega Gets a Key -- To Nowhere

Posted Apr 9th 2008 11:55AM by TMZ Staff

Fallen "Idol" Danny Noriega got some extended time in the spotlight yesterday - the flat-ironed falsetto was awarded an honorary key to the city - of Azusa. *golf clap*
Danny Noriega gets an award
Beautiful Azusa, Calif. is located somewhere by a freeway outside of L.A. and is Danny Noriega's hometown. Also from Azusa, Tony Robbins and Rocky Dennis - you know, the guy the '80s movie "Mask" was about.

6. I can't believe all the hype surrounding this guy. Yes, he had a nice voice but he's no star. Blah! TMZ, don't waste your time on him. He's just riding the "15 minutes of fame" train.

10. What are you talking about AMERICAN IDOL REJECTS.

JENNIFER HUDSON WAS ONE AND SHE WON AN ACADEMY AWARD, A GOLDEN GLOBE AND A SAG AWARD.

AND SHE WAS AN "AMERICAN IDOL REJECT!"
