This "American Idol" reject became a pop sensation when he appeared in an early-season segment on the show.
He captured America’s hearts with his unorthodox but touching rendition of Ricky Martin’s "She Bangs," but Simon, Paula and Randy thought otherwise and gave him the boot.
Listen up, America! Unlike Justin, Kelly, Ruben and Clay, this "American Idol" is definitely one that the judges did not approve of. However, America loves an "underdog" and that is why we have embraced William Hung as our owm.
After that fateful tryout, Hung’s celebrity status exploded into a whirlwind of interviews and appearances. In an interview in Star Magazine, the super-stud revealed that his mysterious and signature yellow backpack contains water, medicine and a cell phone. He also said his favorite hobbies include singing, computer games and ping-pong.
Hung’s performed at halftime of a UC Berkeley basketball game and on Ellen Degeneres’ daytime talk show. On Keith Olbermann’s show, "Countdown," Olbermann asked William Hung why everyone loves him. Hung calmly and humbly replied, "People really respect my attitude and charisma."
Wow...there are still honest people in this world of ours. How Refreshing!
