By The third season of American Idol belonged to the ladies.  No offense to any of the top male contenders, there was some talent there, but every meaningful alumni of Idol's third go around is of the female variety.  Controversy was mostly lacking in season three, though it did bring us our first exposure to one William Hung, whose presence and subsequent infamy informed how FOX would package (and viewers would digest) those opening audition episodes each season.  Previously, Idol glossed over the auditions, trying to get to the meat of the season as fast as possible. William Hung cemented the “bad” auditions as a national phenomena, to be exploited by FOX and Idol.  Whether or not you enjoy these episodes (the ratings would contest that you do) is moot; since season three, the auditions (especially the embarrassing ones) have become a staple of American Idol.  The funny thing about William Hung (well, besides everything) is that he accepted his inevitable Simon Cowell tongue-lashing with the utmost respect and modesty.  He was just happy to be there.
