Go to William Hung's site and listen to Bialamos. It definitely confirms my suspicion that Enrique Iglesias can't sing. William does almost as good of a job as Enrique IMO. Ricky Martin's songs are a bit harder to sing. ;)

I love William Hung because it reminds me of being back on campus at U of M. ;)

If the future of music is Hung and bands like "The Darkness", then it time for me to self-inflictingly leave this plane of existnce! ;)


Darkness Mayhem!:

Dude, don't be dissing the Darkness. I too was skeptical at first, but after borrowing their CD from a friend, I am hooked. After all the monotonous, depressed self loathing of bands like Staind and their 14 Shades of Crap, I find myself quite enjoying at the Second Coming of Cock Rock. It takes me back to a time when music sucked far less.

Surely there's a CD of all the remixes someplace. I listened to the Hung and the Restless this morning...very funny stuff!

sweet!

at least he has the guts to do what most of us would never do.

much improvement, but the song "she bangs" is still below average.

I bet it is just an act, and at home he is laughing at all the stupid people who buy his record as he racks in their cash.

Last night on "Countdown", Keith Olberman said that there was a dentist who offered to fix Hung's overbite for free

I think the person who decided to include "Rocket Man" on the album knows the answer to that question. Hillarious decision to have William Hung do the song made infamous by William Shatner for bad-ness.

People have been saying he's stupid for not knowing people are laughing at him; actually, he wouldn't do an interview unless he's paid and he has a CD out...this guy isn't stupid in the least.

Go William Hung!

dunno why people laugh at him.

could it be the eyes, the bad dancing, the crappy clothes, or being asian? he's not helping the asian crowd in popculture. i think its stupid what he's doing, more power to him that he could do it in the face of mockery and/or odd people.

Why, cause he makes all asians look like dorks or something, Mr. Wong?


Precisely. He's just ruined 40 years of stereotype from bruce lee and more recently, jet li. For the next 40 years America will think of him whenever anyone says "asian guy." At least asian girls still have kelly hu to represent them...

Though the guy has definitely capitalized on the phenomenon surrounding him...

If they gave me one, I'd do the same thing I do with AOL CD's ===> Recycle bin. He's probably a nice guy, but William should be Hung for foisting that crap on the public.

No, you can't hate HIM for that, you have to hate the people who embrace him because he fits a narrowly defined stereotype of male asian americans.

I would suspect that he hates him because well, he got a recording contract and cash =p

And I'd bet if he sold enough albums, he'd even get the chicks(money man...money).

And anyway, he would only make "all asians look like dorks" if people embraced one person's specific qualities and decided to apply it to all asians...which is of course, blatant stereotyping. Of course, that's also the reason why he's embraced anyway, because he happens to fit preexisting notions of the asians as dorks. So...

It makes me want to beat mickey rooney(breakfast at tiffany's). Except he's dead. So really, I can only desecrate his corpse at this point(unless he was cremated, in which case I can't even do that).

So in closing:
Don't hate the playa, hate the game!

William Hung=playa
Quietly Not Quite Outright Racist Society=the game

I'd say he's played the game quite well...I mean, can any of YOU parlay the stereotypes people have of people who look like you into a recording contract?

But obviously, there's something wrong with the game if this is how it has to be played. So if you dump your stereotypes of asians and get everybody else to do so, nobody would even give a rat's a$$ about Mr. Hung, because he wouldn't fit into any "stupid FOBy ch**k" stereotypes you have.

The end.

haha sometimes I wish I had just pretended I was a crackhead and gone on and sang a retarded rendition.

Although I suppose I could never do it quite as bad as him...because it wouldn't be GENUINELY bad.

Oh but if I could pull it off...the money man...the money.
