Hung Butchers \'Take Me Out to Ball Game\'


TORONTO - William Hung butchered "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch of Sunday\'s matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers, much to the delight of 22,225 at SkyDome.


The American Idol reject best known for his hyperactive, tone-deaf rendition of Ricky Martin (news)\'s "She Bangs," shrugged off a brief smattering of boos and belted out the baseball classic off-key while fans egged him on. Some even joined in.


Hung\'s presence brought a gaggle of media usually indifferent to baseball to the game, including staff from Rolling Stone magazine. A team official said more media credentials were issued Sunday than on opening day.


The Blue Jays initially tried to bring Hung in opening day, but that conflicted with the release of his debut album, "Inspiration," which is nearing 100,000 copies sold.


"I still am surprised," Hung said before the game. "I can\'t believe it."


The record deal is certainly testing the limits on the Hong Kong native\'s 15 minutes of fame. A civil engineering student at the University of California, he\'s spending most of his time these days touring to promote the album.

I hate that it was 15 instead of 1 or none.

Whats worse is that people encourage this guy.

I think he\'s fun in small doses.  I would never buy an entire album, though.

I\'d like to see legitimate artists hire him to be in a track on their new albums.  Like I\'d crack up if D12 gave William Hung some raps for a verse in one of their new songs.

He\'s a cool kid and such a bad singer that it\'s fun to watch him.

In fact, I\'d be more likely to listen to something with him in it than I would with American Idol 3 winner Fantasia Whatshername.

There\'s a lot more entertaining things than William Hung, but he\'s pretty cool for what he is I guess.

I never heard this guy sing but he really does have a lot of courage for actually doing this.

On AI, he didnt know the words to the song, was horribly off-key, I mean he would be the winner of Superstar(the show the rewards shitty performance) and alot of his pronunciation was of the stereotypical asian trying to learn *engrish*

William Hung knows people are laughing at him and he doesn\'t care. Coz he\'s laughing all the way to the bank! And ya know what? He is the complete opposite of a boy band. He\'s a solo act, he\'s not white and he ain\'t good looking and can\'t sing. Okay, I just described a lot of other singers but I\'m talking about William Hung - who can\'t sing. :D

And that\'s the allure! He can\'t sing and yet he\'s just as popular as Clay Aiken! BWAHAHAHA! Those winner aren\'t American Idols. And American Idol (as far as music goes) would be guys like Bob Seger, Axel Rose, Steven Tyler, Elvis Presley, and non-Americans like Ozzie, all the guys from ACDC, The Beatles, Rollingstones...etc.

Not these "corporate i-dulls" that are given songs and a studio.
