In the age of reality television.success isn’t the only way to the public eye.Failure can also create fame,just like William Hung,21,a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network.They wilt publish a full-length record,titled“The True Idol”on April 6.
The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s“She Bangs”on the television show“American Idol 3”,on January27.The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people.In the case of Hung,however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act.Hung’s response,“I already gave my best,so I have no regrets at all.”That’s good,because any common person would have found plenty to regret:The off-key singing.The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high The terrible dancing The hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song,maybe not even to this planet.It was,by all accounts,bad.
But,it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris,president of Fuse,explained it this way,“Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom.completely oft-key and completely unworried That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”
Whatever it is,for the moment it is big.Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks.Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno-music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
So,what does Hung think of this?
“There were all these people saying things about me A lot were saying I was very courageous (有勇气的) and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”
Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.
64.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.
B.Hung’s performance attracted the public eye.
C.How an unsuccessful person became famous.
D.Success sometimes does not require hard work.
