'Idol' reject Hung gets record deal

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
spirited version of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs,” has signed a deal
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.

Comedy at its finest…

whoops, sorry about that. i did search, but this being the only thread that showed up and closest to focusing on him didn’t seem to focus much about him but on the record he’s getting instead. guess this’ll work too.

that’s what I think about his “fame”…it’s comedy. Most people aren’t really “supporting” him, I feel that most are just laughing at him. Some say that they admire him for his “courage and the way he took the insults”, but i think they’re just laughing that he probably doesn’t seem to understand that he’s actually a bad singer.

The first time I read the title on other news sites, I thought an American idol who got hung as in - tie rope around neck, tug gently - got a record deal :slight_smile:

Good for him though…for not getting hung and getting a record deal :smiley:

I thought the same thing kirupa :smiley:

hsadan - I was just pointing out that another thread on my hero
had already been started. Sorry so sound so snippy. =)

no problem unflux…to me it’s the most stupid mistake to make is probably to not search, and that’s kinda why i took it so bad :stuck_out_tongue:

come to think of it…how many of you look to him as an actual hero/idol, and why? :huh:

to me i feel that he’s abit of a disgrace to asians since he sang so bad, but on the other hand, i’m glad he showed such moral courage and didn’t flip out like the other…non-asians did (sorry, no offence meant :ne: )

At least he’s got his dancing skills…

:sure:

it’s not a disgrace to any race, and that’s way off topic.

It’s a huge laugh in the face of the show IMO, as if they are such
experts to turn him down. Yet, his appearance and rejection has
become bigger than any of the people seen on that show before.

THAT’s why he’s a hero, and why I said: Only in America. IT’s GREAT! :thumb:
