He is undoubtly the standout performer of the current season of American Idol, but he hasn’t even made it past the audition round.

No matter. It is rumoured American Idol producers will be bringing William ‘She Bangs’ Hung back for a mid-season special called “Uncut, Uncensored and Untalented’.
Hung's rise to stardom and Internet notoriety has been an unexpected event in the new season of American Idol.

Hung arrived at the show's San Francisco auditions and performed what can only be described as a somewhat tone-deaf rendition of the Ricky Martin hit "She Bangs."

A website for Hung was launched and already it has been visited nearly 8 million times, while an online petition to get Hung back on the show claimed 30,000 signatures as of last weekend.

He has already been impersonated on Saturday Night Live, appeared in countless newspaper and magazine articles, been interviewed by MSNBC in America and is expected to appear on the Ellen Degeneres Show in coming weeks.

"I hope I've shown everyone in the world that regardless of success or failure, just keep trying. Never give up," Hung said. "Because only then can you say to yourself that you tried your best and had no regrets."
