One of "A.I." contestant Danny Noriega's Sierra High School classmates talked with TMZ -- and told us that the kid who glammed-up "Tainted Love" was nobody to mess with! Who knew?!
Apparently Danny has a big family -- including an older brother that doesn't like people messing with his little bro. Simon better watch what he says!

"American Idol" wannabe Danny Noriega has issues.
We found out Danny attended Sierra (Continuation) High School in Azusa, Calif., a school dedicated to "at-risk" kids.
The crowd at the school? According to Sierra High's website, students are "significantly behind in credits -- and at risk of not graduating -- who want a second chance to succeed and achieve a high school diploma."
Danny graduated last year, but school sources tell us he had a rough time, working through his "gothic" phase -- that's when Danny boy went on his Christmas video rampage. One source says Danny had "multiple issues" which landed him at the school.
