William Hung, who became a celebrity after his version of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" got him booted off of "American Idol," is confident he is no longer the worst singer Simon Cowell has ever heard.

"I mean, he literally said that I'm the worst singer. I'm not the worst singer," Hung told AP Radio recently in Los Angeles.

Hung, who proudly said on TV that he doesn't have any professional musical training, is serious about his career.


Oh yeah, that's going to change of course. I want to get better," he said. He plans to take voice training and dance lessons.

Hung's new album, "Inspiration" will be released April 6. It will contain covers of Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon," Elton John's "Rocket Man," R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" and, of course, "She Bangs." Hung said the song "Free" was written especially for him.

The disc will also include a 40-minute DVD with behind-the-scenes footage of studio recording sessions and fan questions and answers.

Hung, who recently performed before 27,000 people in Richmond, Va., and 10,000 in San Diego, said his new career has forced him to cut back his college workload. Hung is studying civil engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

"/ wow.......i just find this whole thing...so strange....

[Unimatrix Prime™]

The guy's been so serious about this ever since he left American Idol! Countless TV spots, thousands of fans, record labels, and even a music video! I still think he's more well-known than any of the current American Idol finalists!

[leafyamazaki]

Good for him.
Heehee ur right there jose-san... he's much more well known tha any of 'em. And his site even has more hits than Britney's... or so that's what they said in the news last night.

[mrAznnizeguy]

mann hung is the most well known american idol. even i dun watch any american idol before and ive heard of hung like the very first day. he is like the most awesome man to do such a thing like that, because it takes balls to go up to a contest where billions of viewers will watch. no wonder hes number 1. ^^v

[Corybobory]

I say good for him. he's willing to give it a try and take it seriously... plus, he's better than the cheeky girls, who spawned from the british version of the show *shudders*

He's just somebody that the public finds amusing at the moment; his novelty will wear off.
