阅读理解。 In the age of reality television, success isn't the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame,

just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music

Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled "The True Idol" on April 6.

The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本)

of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" on the television show "American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing

contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that

the judges cut him off in mid-act.

Hung's response? "I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all." That's good, because any common

person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled

up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not

even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way:"Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite

song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That's what

William did and immediately won the hearts of America."

Whatever it is, for the moment it's big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the

past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made

it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

So, what does Hung think of this?

"There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I

was great on the show, but some didn't have much respect for me and some were kind of mean."

Now, he says he's not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it.
