"American Idol" William Hung's official site!

Okay, forgive me for starting this thread, but I didn't want to bury it in another AI thread.

Here it goes: http://williamhung.net/

Okay, to stop the great Lucy Van Pelt, "Stop this crazy planet, I want to get off!"

Yup, William Hung has his own little cult following now ans is reaping the rewards of being bounced from the American Idol show during the auditions.

A few quick points of interest:

* The Associated Press reported late Tuesday that William Hung, the UC Berkeley engineering student who became a pop-culture phenomenon after being bounced rather icily from an "American Idol" audition, will be awarded a $25,000 check from the Fuse music channel on Wednesday, and a record deal from Koch Entertainment.

* A remix of his song with music track is avaiable here.

* He's been in Star Magazine, on The Early Show, on The Ellen Show and Access Hollywood.

* Fox has announced that he will appear on the final episode of American Idol for a special performance!

Talk about your 15 minutes of Fame!

Jimmy Fallon as William Hung

On "Pardon The Interruption" they showed Will Hung singing "She Bangs" at a basketball game or practice, and he had backup dancers!

Ricky Martin has to be mortified...

God help me I love this guy!

au contraire Patman, I think Ricky Martin should be thanking Will Hung for reviving "She Bangs".

Who is this "Ricky Martin" of which you speak???


And actually, there already seems to be a (35 post) William Hung thread in Other, with pics and a video from another site, and the williamhung.net site mentioned above:
William Hung sings live in Berkeley!! [She Bangs - American Idol Guy MOV]

Everyone that loses on American Idol always ends up winning in the long run. Clay lost to Ruben, and he's more popular then him now. Justin whatshisface got a record deal when he lost to Kelly Clarkson. That black girl that got booted last year got a record deal.

It's all about showing your talent (or lack of) and being seen

He's making more of his time than any of the AI rejects. Tamyra Grey can't even top the Hungster. What the hell happened to her album with Babyface?

On one of the entertainment programs, they said Willie was going to get a special surprise. I thought Ricky would show up for the performance. HA!

He did release an album...but sold only about 135,000 copies. Yikes!

Compare that to the others.
Kelly Clarkson - over 2 million
Clay Aiken - over 2 million
Ruben Studdard - over 1 million, but still in the top 20

Oh, I'm also beginning to really hate William Hung.

Sorry to get O.T. a little here, but even more telling is this:

Didn't Studdard win American Idol last year?? Seems Aiken is the one reaping all the awards.

Back on topic:
"...stinks like a bee"??
