SHE BANG!!

[Edaarin]

God help my race.

[Soulpieced]

ROFLMAO. I can't believe someone went through the trouble to make this. Granted the guy is awesome. :up:

[Edaarin]

I work so hard to dispel stereotypes. I'm taller than 5'4, I can lift more than a bag of rice, I have a deep voice with no accent...and this fucker ruins it in 2 minutes of limb flailing.

Although I have ordered a t-shirt.

[Hips]

...this is why I don't watch TV. I have to admit the clip was pretty amusing, though.

[Souzy]

Holy crap! :lol:

It's one of your people Vinh, damn viets. You guys are a disgrace to the Asian race, haha!

P.S. Vinh knows I :heart: him.

[Scott]

We all know it's Edaarin with glasses.....

[Edaarin]

I wear glasses now asshole...that's beside the point.

[peam]

William Hung..

Isn't that a pornstar?

[Syberus]

Apparently their shirts are out of stock... My roomate and I wanted to buy some.

[Hanksbane]

I love being asian. We rawk!

Actually felt quite sorry for this poor soul... If I was him there and then, I'd require psycological therapy for the rest of my life!


William Hung
I'ave no pofesional taining... :duh:

[Pallon]

That guy makes Ricky Martin look like a normal human being

[Shari]

<just howls with laughter>

[longshot]

Having never seen American Idol before, I have to ask, is the show always that funny?

I was laughing so hard!

[Parkbandit]

It's funny... I was watching when he was on American Idol.. and I actually thought about Edaarin.

Made me chuckle.

[CrystalTears]

It's funny for the first couple of weeks when they have to listen to the bad singers. After that it's a boring race to see who becomes the next one hit wonder.

Thanks for the link though. I had missed that stunning performance. :up:

[longshot]

It's just all around great.

The singing part is so akward, but even better is the interview beforehand.

This is only topped by the incredible face he makes when he is finally told to stop.

And the icing on the cake? Him trucking off with that gigantic yellow backpack at the end.

An instant classic.

[Caiylania]

That is priceless. I wonder what William himself thinks about that site. Does it say?

[Soulpieced]

You're thinking Tom Hung from Orgazmo :D

[Wezas]

Ahhh, the remixes near the bottom of the page are hilarious. Especially the Outcast one.

And the SNL one is amusing too.

[Kia]

Now I'm going to have that in my head all day long...

SHE BANG! SHE BANG!

Heheehee

KIA.

[Edaarin]

Update: guess who's the musical guest for Jay Leno on Thursday?

Ugh.

[Atlanteax]

Btw, he actually did get a record deal (not from American Idol).

Apparently the producers feels that he'll be able to sell a lot of songs, particularly if listeners are "entertained" by the way Hung warps it.

There will be a Hung CD release in the near future.

[DeV]

tells you alot about Americans. were easily entertained.

[Chelle]

Not only entertaining but the guy is kinda cute and has a great personality.

[Shalla]

So many struggling talented asian artists in hollywood deserving recognition.. and this guy was chosen to represent.

Oh well.. At least I could say.. he's edaarin's homeboy.

:popcorn:

[DCSL]

My Asian boyfriend was severely embarrassed, but I was mightily entertained by the website, heh. You guys need to get a grip. I'm not embarrassed every time I hear about fifteen new Cubans floating over in an old Camaro. That's them, not me. And that's um.. Hung.. not you guys. Seriously, if I were Asian and someone asked me to dance around like a monkey and butcher a song, I'd just let it roll off my back.

As if you guys don't have enough good press? Sometimes it seems like half the children in America's life long dream is going to Japan. Or owning a rice car with some random Chinese characters sprinkled across the back window. Being Asian is in, man. One little William Hung, who undoubtedly will die out soon enough, is not going to shake the grip of "I want to be AzN!" on America.

(Edited so I could properly capitalize 'AzN'.)

[Latrinsorm]

And here I thought Fiona Apple was going to be on to promote her new album. :(

[Edaarin]

I'm not actually upset about it, but I do find it painful to watch.

[Sweets]

I saw the show when William made his first appearance. Quite amusing. Great personality. I was entertained.

I think things may be getting out of control though.

How long until it gets old and you say William who?


I am so glad for that edit button.

Update: Mr. Hung is now on the top ten most downloaded list at iTunes

[Hips]

Doesn't his CD come out this week?

[Wezas]

April 6th, and has a bonus DVD with it.

[gcstader]

william hung is a pimp name

[Drew2]

Oh. My. God.

I just went on iTunes and looked up his songs... they're fucking serious???

Yeah it was nice of America to support him because he went out there and tried his best.... BUT HE REALLY DOES SUCK.

What the fuck.

[Miss X]

They have been playing this dude on the radio over here! He sucks big time. I blame America....
;)

[Caipre]

Actually, isn't it because of "pop idol" :D

[Betheny]

William Hung = Faces of Death.

We're attracted to the repulsive.

As I said last month, Americans are strange. I'm speculating that there's just enough people out there to find the manner in which he sings so badly, to be so funny as to be worth buying the CDs to listen to.

However, I fully expect this phenomen to "get old, fast" as no one will really want to listen to someone singing so horribly.

Still goes a long way to demonstrating how stupid some Americans can be with blowing their money on crap (Hung CDs), and instead keeping alive a phenomen that deserves to die a quick death.

[Bobmuhthol]

I listen to punk rock. :(

[Edaarin]

Redemption is on the way.

Look out for Jin's upcoming CD with Kanye, "I gotta love."

[Wezas]

w00t his CD is coming out today.

My girl's family gives each other gifts for Easter (no clue why, mine never has, most I'd get is some chocolate). So she's getting a CD.

How can you blame us? :( If simon had taken his bitter attitude over seas to recreate the show here it wouldn't have happened.

I need to blame someone and as Brits are always innocent I can only conclude its the fault of Americans. ;)

[ThisOtherKingdom]

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread or not, but I just saw William Hung's music video for "She Bang" on Fuse... I'm fucking speechless. Wait, no I'm not. MAKE IT GO AWAY!

[Ravenstorm]

He was just on The Tonight Show. Damn, he sucks so bad.

Raven

[Hulkein]

hahaha, I saw that too Raven.. He is pathetic at singing, but he's also the goofiest looking dude ever. His mic was turned down too low, I think the FCC had something to do with it, they didn't want to offend anyone with his full volumed voice.

[Ravenstorm]

I blame Edaarin. If we go back far enough they must be related in some way.

Raven

[longshot]

This is an awesome feature article from the Village Voice.

Highly, highly recommended.

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0414/ng.php

[Ravenstorm]

That was very good to read. You know, I really had no idea there was still such a problem with Asian stereotypes. I thought the initial comment was more tongue in cheek though I suppose I should have known better, all things considered.

My apologies for contributing to the problem, even in jest.

Raven

[Tendarian]

I dont think its racist. On Jay Leno the other day i saw a poor white trash security guard guy on who wasnt too bright. Its funny because they have no social ability at all. No one thinks thats racist do they?

[Edaarin]

So. By the grace of my stupid roommates who love to stick it to me for some reason, I am now the proud owner of William Hung's Inspiration, a 2 CD freak of nature that also came with his American Idol performance (and more) on DVD. I listened to about half the tracks before I took the CD out for fear that it would kill my computer.

He's been taking singing lessons, but they don't show. For those of you who are curious, these are the song titles if you want to download them from a P2P or something. FYI, it's the #16 top seller on Amazon.com and top 40 on the Billboards.

1. Words of Gratitude
2. She Bangs
3. Bailamos
4. Passions
5. (a mind numbing rendition of ) I Believe I Can Fly
6. Hotel California
7. Can You Feel the Love Tonight (YES THE LION KING SONG WTF)
8. Two Worlds
9. Perseverance
10. Rocket Man (ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, STEWIE ON FAMILY GUY DID A BETTER JOB)
11. Free
12. Circle of Life (I guess he really likes the Lion King)
13. Be Yourself
14. YMCA (I don't even have a joke for this one)
15. Shake Your Bon-Bon

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go light myself on fire.

EDIT: Amazon.com has some clips available. This one is I Believe I Can Fly, listen at your own peril.

Weird... I found this:

Oh daaaaaaaaaamn

Harsh PB, harsh...

[Edaarin]

You guys suck. Stupid bitter old men. Go have a stroke and forget your grandchildren's names.

[Ravenstorm]

Anyone have a video of Edaarin singing YMCA? Which of the Village People was he dressed as?

Raven

Heh, the construction worker. That is so fucked up! LMAO

[Edaarin]

Sorta set myself up for this one, didn't I.

You could have at least made me a minority for the Village People.

#1 - I was using MS-Paint.. which has ZERO tools.

#2 - I was using MS-Paint.. which has ZERO tools.

That was the best I could do on such short notice.

[longshot]

That's really good for paint!

I want to hear samples... they weren't on that page.

[Edaarin]

I'm sorry...I was doing my econ hmwk and listening to this CD...I HAD to bump this thread after sitting through this painful 5 minute rendition of I Believe I Can Fly.

Listening to him try to hit those high notes makes me want to gouge my eyes out. It sounds like really, really bad karaoke. Really really really bad.

You know that part where R. Kelly goes Oooohooooooohoooohoh? Right before "If I can see it, then I can do it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it"? There are no words to describe the unintentional comedy factor here.

EDIT: The end of the song has left me speechless. His voice cracks like 6 times.
