Yes, William Hung is a star. Even though he was cut during the first round of auditions for American Idols, he has been well accepted by the public for his audition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" in which all 3 judges could barely receive. Simon Cowell mentions ?You can?t sing, you can?t dance, so what do you want me to say?? ?I already gave my best, and I have no regrets at all,? Hung replied. His hilarious effort, as well as his earnest response, quickly gained him fans.

Soon after his tryout aired on Jan. 27, Hung received about 150 e-mails from resourceful fans who looked him up in a student directory at UC Berkeley, where he is a civil engineering student. The first and most comprehensive of many Web sites spotlighting him, William Hung.net, received 4 million hits in the first week.

On Wednesday, Hung performed at UC Berkeley?s men?s volleyball game, where he received a $25,000 check from the Fuse music channel and a record offer from Koch Entertainment. If he accepts, Hung will be in good company, the Koch Entertainment stable of talent includes Ringo Starr, Montell Jordan, and the Bangles. The deal reportedly includes a music video that will air on Fuse.

Here's the part related to DJs:
Visiting William Hung.net, you will notice that lots of bedroom DJs and well-rounded San Francisco DJ's have already performed some dance mixes of his performances, comments, and audio clips of his interviews. William Hung.net is sponsoring a photo and MP3 contest.

On a personal note, I think everyone has something to learn from William Hung. He gives his all, regardless of fashon or talent. He has a good time and his attitude and charisma is what carries him into the spotlight. Everyone should learn to have this attitude and you will excel at whatever you do.
