David Hernandez may have been booted out of American Idol, but he’s not giving up on his dreams of being a singer. Good for him, he’s got a lot of talent. Too bad he doesn’t have a lot of brains.

He told reporters that he was auditioning for a show called “Lease.” Lease? Oooooh, “Rent.”

He also seemed a little confused as he wandered around the city. He approached strangers for help to find a car, and asked a Hasidic Jew whether he was a “Pilgrim.” We don’t know if we should call him a racist, or an idiot.
