POLL!! is william hung WAY over-hyped/played?

[PlatinumGold]

personally i don't find stupidity and incompetence like his funny or interesting. it surprises me that so many people do find it either funny, interesting or amusing.

He's just different, that's all.

That's how he gets a lot of sympathy points.

-Q

 

[bradruth]

He seems like a genuinely nice person and he deserves success, but I'm really sick of seeing threads about him. Just make an official one and stick with it. :disgust:

We find him interesting not because he sounded stupid, or anything, but because he sounded stupid in front of millions of people (you know... "embarassment"). The word for that feeling is schadenfreude.

what would you call it??

his singing was incompetent, he demonstrated no skill whatsoever.

Ok, incompetent in terms of singing and dancing yeah. I was thinking in terms of getting what he wanted, he's made more of a name for himself than all the other disqualified participants, which were just trying to make a name for themselves.
