| I was at HMV on the weekend and I had a lil chuckle to see that William Hung (of American Idol Talent Show:rolleyes: ) is like at number 20 something and Clay Aitken is near the bottom in sales...:stongue: |

| i wonder if he actually realises that people are laughing at him, and not listening to him sing...or he has already realised and is just cashing in on this dumb wave of success? if its option number 2, then he is a smart guy, otherwise he is just annoying! |

Yeah.. i believe that. It's not surprising what marketing and a little de-moralization can do for one's career. Now, we know William seems fairly intelligent (He's a Civil Engineer so that MUST account for something -- )
.. does he know that most people are buying/listening this stuff mainly because people are laughing at him and not due to his 'talent'? Don't get me wrong, he has all the confidence and drive in the world which I admire.
I just hope he is not THAT naive...

Andie, what are you doing coming out of your Lurker box? ;)
But yes... Hung is smart nonetheless. It's just that from what 'interviews' with him I've seen, i get the feeling that he really honestly thinks he sounds great!
Who knows -- maybe limited dexterity and off-key vocals is the way of the future... |

I just hope people don't see him as the typical asian guy. I saw his video and I couldn't stand to watch more than 2 minutes of it. Am I losing my sense of humor? I mean it was funny at first but they're just taking this thing way too far.
But yeah, kudos to him for selling more albums than the martin short lookalike. |

does anyone remember the Simpson's episode when Bart became the "I didn't do it" guy?
Success can be short lived, so he might as well enjoy it and cash in on it while he can.
Unfortunately, this guy can sometimes be a disgrace to Asian men by playing off their token stereotypes within Western pop-culture.. ugghz.. i sound stop complaining or risk sounding like DigiNut

He is the complete opposite of modern singers. When was the last time you saw a:
-geeky looking
-short
-poor singing
-poor dexteritny
-asian
to become big? This uniqueness and his embarassment made him popular. Although, I fear he will become noone's idol, and will fade soon. |

I say good for him! It doesn't really matter whether people are laughing AT him or WITH him, HE will have the last laugh! I saw him on Jimmy Kimmel, and he was trying his best to make Mr. Hung look bad and make fun of him, but in the end, he couldn't do it. This guy is so genuine and innocent, it's like kicking a puppy!
Good for him to have the balls to go for what he's dreamed of! He obviously has SOMETHING that people are looking for, or they wouldn't be buying his albums!
The hilarious part to me, is that even if his "singing" career peters out after a few months of novelty, he can shrug and move on to his engineering career... not exactly a low-paying profession either!
Good for him.
