William Hung

We'll admit -- our fave part about American Idol is watching auditions. And our fave AI audition, hands down, is William Hung's rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" from season three. While Randy, Paula and Simon weren't exactly fans, Hung's embarrassing yet hilarious audition quickly rose him to "stardom". He even appeared on late night talk shows and commercials and released two albums of pop-rock cover songs! Hung's no longer in the limelight, but his amusing attempt at a music career will forever live in AI infamy.
