Today, the organizers of the Atlanta Human Rights Campaign Dinner & Silent Auction announced that “Idol” alumna Frenchie Davis will provide entertainment for the May 5 affair, marking Davis’s third appearance at an Atlanta gay function in the last four years.
Davis, who was also a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” and starred in “Rent” on Broadway, will be singing at the black-tie dinner, showcasing tracks from her upcoming album, “Frenchie.” DJ Mike Pope, one of the resident spinners at the Heretic, was announced as the entertainment for the HRC after-party.
She tells Missouri newspaper the St. Louis Post Dispatch, "I wasn't out (as a gay woman) before the relationship, but I wasn't in. I dated men and women, though lesbians weren't feeling the bisexual thing. Now I'm in love with a woman I think I can be with forever."
Davis, who also starred in the Broadway musical Rent, went on to voice her support for gay men ahead of her performance at the Chicago Pride Fest in Illinois this weekend.
She adds, "I love the gay boys. They have that awesome, masculine energy, but there's also something else going on as well."
Davis shot to fame on American Idol in 2003, but was sensationally disqualified as a semi-finalist after it emerged she had posed topless for an adult website.
