>>>WARNING: WILLIAM HUNG LOVERS LEAVE NOW<<<

What is up with the William Hung craze?? WHY does everybody adore him?!??!?!Ã,Â

For those who don't know who he is (and might I add you're very lucky if you don't), he was some loser guy who went on the talent search show American Idol.Ã,Â He was turned down flat and made an idiot out of himself trying to sing Ricky Martin's She Bangs.Ã,Â The guy can't even TALK straight and he is trying to be a superstar.Ã,Â

One of the judges told him "You can't sing, you can't dance, so what do you have to say?" And then old Willy Hung goes through this speech about how he tried his best and that's what really counted and so on and now he has become famous and adored.Ã,Â If I'm not mistaken he has even released a few CDs.Ã,Â Shame.Ã,Â Ã,Â

If you don't believe me or disagree, just watch the music video. And might I finally add, he has nasty teeth.

People still like him? Hmm...

I thought his fifteen minutes of fame was over....

William Hung reminds me a little of this little kid I went to school with named Ross. He was Chinese, could barely speak English and was mentally and physically challenged in a lot of ways. To this day I still believe Ross is the coolest person I've ever known. He'd call people Mr.Pickle as an insult, for example of his awesome.

William Hung is like the poor man's Ross. Not nearly as awesome in any way, but similar enough to put up with, as if it could make you somehow closer to knowing what knowing Ross is like. Most people don't realize that they want to be around Ross, it's more of a subconcious thing.

The phenomenon of William Hung lovers is unexplainable outside of my 'Subconcious Ross Love' theory.

Everyone loves a man named Ross.

Gilbert · Fri 21/05/2004 01:56:24

Can someone get rid of that picture? @_@ It's disturbing!! That dead stare... argh!

Honestly, I thought William Hung was hilarious. That's why he's famous, not because people took pity on him but it was just so unbelievable and funny that someone as untalented as him would honestly, -really- try to make it on the idol show. It was so bad it was funny. I don't have any problem with his fame, but I am a bit surprised that it's gone on this long. I really expected people to be over it by now.

We had a much funnier person on Australian Idol though. Some girl who sung ... it just makes me shudder to remember, but it was as if she was trying to do an Irish accent while gagging at the same time. Believe me, it was baaaaaad. "Hurrrrrrrrrrl"... just like that. Freaky.

Gilbert · Fri 21/05/2004 06:15:03

I love only one man named Ross...

...in a very homosexual way.

Where's you been recently, Muills?

DGMacphee · Fri 21/05/2004 06:18:28

What else? Playing Ace Quest.

Darth Mandarb · Fri 21/05/2004 06:23:24

I have a theory (big shock I know!) ...

William Hung is actually a genius!Ã,Â He portays himself as a bumbling idiot who can barely speak English who thought (actually) that he could make it on Idol.Ã,Â In truth, he's a smart guy who realized he could play off the stereo type of the 'dumb foreigner' in America.Ã,Â

[idiot]"Oh my gosh ... he can barely speak English!Ã,Â That's soooo cute!!!"[/idiot]

I thought it was f**king hilarious when I saw his 'Reject' video.Ã,Â It made me laugh!Ã,Â But the first time I realized he was becoming popular because of it I immediately started disliking him.

I mean think about it ... he was funny/cute on American Idol because of how bad he was in the context of the contest.Ã,Â Now that he's trying to be bad it's just that ... bad.

Some moron (so I've heard) gave him a 3 album contract.Ã,Â I have a feeling that the craze will die off and album sales of the first will plummet ... the second will bomb ... and only his family and friends'll buy the third.

But he'll probably make a shit load of money and 10 years from now we'll see him on VH1 "Where Are They Now?"

I think he had it all planned out long before the audition.

Smart guy that Mr. William Hung.

Kinoko · Fri 21/05/2004 06:34:51

Agreed, being such a "funny little chinese guy" has totally worked out for him. I honestly don't want to put any of the blame on him though, because it's obviously others out there who have seen how popular he was and went, "Let's make money out of how bad this guy is!". If you've seen any interviews with him, he is a rather intelligent guy and although he's enjoying the popularity (as anyone would, really), he honestly is concerned with improving and being liked for actual talent. I've always wanted to hear him sing in Chinese actually, he may very well have an excellent voice when he sings in his native language. Maybe not... who knows. I honestly think he's just a bit of a pawn right now though. I think he'll go the way of Bob the Builder's singing career. Funny for the first song, pushing it for the second and then... gone.

Peter Thomas · Fri 21/05/2004 07:21:03

I used to like him.

And then he went for voice lessons.

The reason people liked him in the first place was because he knew he didn't have a chance of winning Idol with his voice alone. He knew he sucked. But he didn't care.
If these singing lessons work out, he'll just be another Jo Blow (nothing sexual) on the street who has a moderately acceptable voice and ugly teeth (you can't deny, you'd never want to kiss the guy).

DGMacphee · Fri 21/05/2004 07:31:49

I also think it's people who watch American Idol are morons and love to watch people make fools of themselves as much as they love to see people win. So much is the case, that they're like ravenous vultures that feed on the soft, chicken-like taste of human flesh that is Willy Hung.

P.S. Har har har. Willy Hung. Or is it BIG Willy Hung. Har har har. :

My sister, a fellow Hung Hater, has nearly the same theory. And it is probably true. And DG, I've been waiting to see somebody make such a word play off his name. Good one!

Meowster · Fri 21/05/2004 16:21:50

Ha ha ha, DG.... More like Little Willy Hung.

Dart · Fri 21/05/2004 16:34:15

Why, Yufster... are you implying that Asian men have little tools?

remixor · Fri 21/05/2004 21:22:18

His first album sold very well and charted on Billboard Independant for a while.
