American Idol reject William Hung is the latest
person from the hit talent show to receive a record contract. Koch Records
offered Hung a deal after he made quite a splash with his audition for
the show. Soon after the episode aired, several online DJs were offering
remixed versions of Hungs She Bangs performance.
Since then Hung has been the toast of the
town, appearing and performing on several television shows.
Koch is rushing Hungs debut album into
stores in hopes of striking while the iron is hot. The CD, tentatively
titled "The True Idol," is scheduled to hit stores on April 6th.
Yes, the album will include Hungs cover
of the Ricky Martin hit She Bangs. In fact, Fuse has inked an exclusive
deal to air the accompanying video on their cable music network.
The album is also expected to include covers
of Elton Johns Rocket Man and another Ricky Martin hit, "Shake Your
Bon Bon". As an incentive to fans to pick up the disc early, the
first pressing will include a bonus DVD with behind the scenes footage
of the making of the album, a day in life segment with the Engineering
student turned Idol as well as interview footage.
