Fuse Hung Up on Failed Idol
By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 2/19/2004 8:25:00 AM
William Hung has gone from American Idol wanna-be to cult hero to a recording contract.
Rainbow Media Holdings Inc.’s Fuse and Koch Entertainment LLC presented Hung with a record contract and music-video-production deal Wednesday night.
Hung’s rendition of Ricky Martin’s "She Bangs" has become an Internet phenomenon (www.williamhung.net).
"As the underdog music-video network, Fuse instantly identified with William's drive to do his best and 'have no regrets at all,'" Fuse president Marc Juris said in a prepared statement.
"Every one of us is joyfully guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with wild abandon, all the while completely off-key and uninhibited," he added. "That's what William did, and he instantly won the hearts of America."
