Who needs “American Idol”? William Hung doesn’t — he already  
has a recording contract.

The singer, who became a fan favorite — but not a judges’  
favorite — during open auditions for the Fox series with his

with Fuse Music Network and Koch Records.

His debut album, tentatively titled “The True Idol,” is scheduled  
for release April 6, it was announced Monday.
