Latest news about William Hung..
He made headlines with his now infamous performance on American Idol. But fame - or notoriety - may be going to William Hung's head
IS WILLIAM HUNG, the 21-year-old American Idol wannabe, getting too big for his britches? Or is he just really, really tired of the unexpected worldwide attention he's been getting?
When LifeStyle e-mailed him for an interview last Thursday, back came this short reply: 'My time is money right now. So only if you're willing to compensate me for my time. Sincerely, William Hung'.
We got his e-mail address from the University of California, Berkeley, website. He did not reply to further mail.
Ever since he appeared on American Idol 3 on Jan 27 with a rendition of Ricky Martin's She Bangs that has been variously described as embarrassing, horrendous and hilarious, Hung has become a celebrity not only in the United States, but also in Australia, Iceland and Singapore.
The civil engineering student from UC Berkeley has given numerous interviews, appeared on the Entertainment Tonight show, is tentatively slated to appear on the programme MSNBC Friday, and has been approached by People magazine for comments.
From one website devoted completely to Hung, several others have since cropped up.
And it seems that his father is getting into the act as well.
Mr Don Chin, a 40-year-old Chinese-American real estate agent who set up the first fan site, www.williamhung.net, is now advising anyone who wants to speak to the Hong Kong-born student to contact the boy's father instead.
However, the senior Mr Hung did not reply to e-mail which LifeStyle sent him.
Mr Chin claims that he receives about 500 e-mail a day from Hung fans, and that his site is getting 4.5 million views a week.
In fact, type in 'William Hung' on a search engine like Google.com, and you will find about 5,000 sites with a mention of him.
Radio stations in the US, Australia and even in Singapore have been playing remixed versions of his Chinese-accented rendition of She Bangs, his now infamous Idol audition piece.
A spokesman for Power 98 here says the station receives about 10 requests a day for 'William Hung's song' and had played it at least three times in the past week. 'That's a lot for a song that hasn't even officially been released and isn't on our play lists,' she adds.
Even women are finding the nerdish buck-toothed youngster cute. The www.williamhung.net has a link called Marry Me, William, where women from around the world can post pictures of themselves and write love notes to him.
When LifeStyle checked last Friday afternoon, two out of eight e-mail posted were from Singaporeans. In fact, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Mr Chin as saying that he receives so much e-mail from Singaporean women that he reckons they would 'rip' Hung's clothes off 'if they saw him in the street'.
All this generated by a youngster whose self-choreographed song and dance prompted judge Simon Cowell to pronounce that he could neither sing or dance.
According to a Los Angeles Times report, Hung had skipped class on a whim last autumn to try out for the American Idol auditions in San Francisco.
Ken Warwick, executive producer of the talent show, told the Times that he knew as soon as he saw Hung that 'anti-celebrity' would find him.
'You knew when you met him - he was so honest and open and straight and 'get-out-there-and-give-it-a-go' in his demeanour,' he said.
'When he told the judges, 'I gave my best,' he was right. It's a commendable philosophy and not many people have it. It's just a shame he was no good.'
But celebrity, Hung told the Times, was the last thing he sought when he decided to try out for the Idol audition.
Sitting in a campus dining room, his bright yellow backpack and matching rain jacket on the seat beside him, he told the newspaper that he didn't even tell his parents about the audition, which was inspired when some fellow students heard him sing and pushed him to enter a dormitory talent contest. He won first prize.
'It was just going to be kept to myself, and nobody knew about it,' said Hung, who moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was 11 and graduated from high school there.
'I have sung karaoke since I was 10 or 11 years old, and I just wanted to see, you know, where am I at?'
It wasn't until months later, when he saw his clip anchoring an American Idol 3 promotion that what he had done began to sink in.
'I was just, 'Wow. That's me right there.' Shocked,' he said, blushing. 'I didn't even have emotions until I saw the audition, and then I felt, 'Oh. I'm definitely not ready to go to Hollywood.' '
In yet another interview, this time with the Oakland Tribune, he revealed that his parents did not catch his Idol audition on TV, but watched a clip on Mr Chin's website.
'They told me I need to stay under control with school work, and for now, yes, I think it's a safe backbone for me, too. But I don't see that decision being any better than being a singer.'
Hung, who told the San Francisco Chronicle that he has been invited to perform at events like a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game and the MTV Asia Awards in Singapore, appeared onstage at an open mike session at UC Berkeley earlier last week.
A clip of this was put up on the www.williamhung.net website.
Sporting a blue sweat shirt, he gave She Bangs another go. This time, he was cheered on by school mates and friends, who joined in the chorus.
Looks like Hung, who has reportedly joined a singing class and a Chinese choir, is not about to give up on singing just yet.

lagu 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight?' - originally sang by Elton John - theme song from The Lion King.
My opinion? Tak sedap langsung!  Even Kelly Clarkson & Clay Aiken who co-hosted ET last night dok senyum-senyum. Kelly was like, "what is wengabons?"
Will now got personal singing trainer lagi.. kelasss.... |

bagi aku baik tak payah...aku raser dier nie jadi pelakon komedi lebih sesuai...mcm kater ko ...nanti American Idol nie jadi tempat org nak cari paling popular bukan paling berbakat dlm nyanyian...tapi kalau diorang nak panggil balik dier nie jadi artis undangan ker ..ok gak...terhiburlah skit ...lepas kena panahan petir dari mulut si simon tue... |
