It’s several weeks after that I wanted to make a comment about William Hung. Being a civil engineer student,William Hung tried the impossible to battle against fellow contestants in the American Idol audition. As expected, the impossible is indeed impossible.
There is no doubt that William Hung is brave. I mean, who would dare to bang in front of national TV; what’s more, in America which has something like – correct me if I’m wrong – 300 million people. William has been a great sport frankly. There is nothing bad about his personality.
However his innocence, courageousness and humble beginnings backfired. He appeared naive, silly and more silly. The narrator even told him to bang somewhere else. What has the poor Chinese did to deserve these embarrassing moments?
Everything.
He should have watched a couple of episodes of American Idol and think hard: is my singing of any standard? He tried hard, he probably knew he’ll be the joke of the town, correction: world.
He sang Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” in front of 3 celebrated judges. One of which is Randy Jackson, who spend more than half the time covering his head with an A4 size paper. Judge Paula Abdul is probably thinking what to say to make that poor guy feel encouraged. The last judge, Simon Cowell, swallowed much of his sarcasms and didn’t say much bad things for once.
I laughed in front of my 34-inch television. I told myself he’s going to make it big. Not in the music field, but in CNN, CNBC, BBC, Fox News and all other news channels.
He became extremely famous. My local television channel, Channel 5, telecasted American Idol 3. Part of the screen shows distracting SMS-es, where the nothing-to-do home viewers sent in, claiming that they want William Hung to be back in American Idol to participate.
That is totally unacceptable, at least to me, likely to Fox too. It’s sad to see William being laughed upon, but there’s no need to make William into the American Idol. That itself is unrealistic. It is absurd and plain stupid. I wished the others can just wake up. Stop this William Hung crap, don’t support him. It’s not worth it at all. I see nothing good in him except his entertainment in the rather boring audition.
Show business is a harsh world, not for innocent kids like William. He makes a good comedian and a good sport. He belongs to Saturday Night Live (SNL), not American Idol! Just knock the door of SNL producers, he’ll be part of the show in no time.
