Mole 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 American Idol reject and internet cult phenomenon to release album Sometimes you don't have to win the American Idol competition to garner yourself a place in history. Enter William Hung, best known as the Asian UC Berkeley engineering student who performed the single worst audition in American Idol history with his rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs". Ever since the audition aired, Hung has been an overnight sensation, drawing huge hits to his website, and creating a cult-like following in the process. Striking the iron while it's hot, Koch Records have signed Hung to a record deal, and have quickly put together "True Idol", due out April 6th. Many are predicting that the album will outsell any of the former American Idol winners' albums, as well as selling more copies than the Bible. Many people are also high on crack.

We may be laughing at him now, but the last laugh will inevitably be his Wow, what a sad sad day in the music industry. A guy who can't sing worth his life gets a contract, while some people who bust their ass everyday who have talent can't get one. Go America... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
