Description

From dealing with the pain of public criticism to suddenly becoming a household name, William Hung's journey is one of hope, determination, and the power of never giving up.

My guest, William Hung, and I discuss:

William Hung gained fame after auditioning for American Idol and singing Ricky Martin's hit song "She Bangs."

All three phases of the American Idol audition, including the infamous one with Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell.

Despite his audition not going well, William's positive outlook helped him deal with the negative criticism that came his way.

Four months after auditioning, William's appearance on American Idol was promoted, making him an overnight sensation.

The exposure of his audition led to appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tonight Show, and other popular television shows.

William's popularity also led to him landing a record deal and performing in front of 60,000 people at the Rose Bowl.

He later returned to the stage as an "American Idol legend" for their 20th-anniversary special.

William's book, "Champion by Choice," chronicles his journey from obscurity to fame and how he dealt with the highs and lows of sudden celebrity.

and SO MUCH MORE!
