That crap Asian gyu from American Idol (She Bangs dude)

[Spruce Goose]

NEW YORK—*Who needs American Idol?*William Hung*doesn't -- he already has a recording contract.

The singer, who became a fan favorite -- but not a judges' favorite -- during open auditions for the Fox series with his spirited version of*Ricky Martin's *"She Bangs," has signed a deal with Fuse Music Network and Koch Records

Koch Records general manager Alan Grunblatt was even more effusive: "He is the new Elvis!"


Koch is the same record label that Opeth are on

Yet another example of where talent has nothing to do with getting contracts.... as long as you've got your gimmick (which in this case is that he is so crap). Makes you wonder sometimes why we even bother

 

[Kem]

He was pretty funny, but only because he's so very bad. Only thing is, I get the feeling they're making fun of the poor guy. Oh well, if he can make some bucks out of it what's the harm.

:zombie:

 

[Kem]

Haha, Blitzy you just changed your signature after you saw the simpsons the other night didn't you.

 

[junak]

this reminds me of that eddy the eel guy at the last olympics that got famous for being an ultra crap swimmer

 

[Spiff]

I too was thinking of Eric the Eel after watching American Idol on Monday night.

Cool, Opeth and William Hung are labelmates. How cool would *that* tour be?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yes Kem, yes I did. I love that line, and I was on the forum when the episode was on.

Lisa: ""Sit down dad.""

 

[Winmar]

Poor Mr Hung. He doesn't seem to realise that he's crap, but then chicks seem to dig him so he probably isn't worried.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

If I got payed to do something I wasn't even good at, I would probably be happy too.

 

[Sydo]

The guy's awesome!

 

[KoichCPA]

He bores me already. He's like Terry, he's only funny the first few times.

 

[Sydo]

I know many people like that.

 

[KoichCPA]

Your mum's like that.


OOOO ZING

 

[Goreripper]

I hope he realises they only signed him because he's awful. Because if he doesn't, he's going to a very depressed young man. Still, he'll have some fun while it lasts. After all, how else is a buck-toothed Asian guy with a heavy accent going to get laid?

 

[Crabby]

I think Queensryche said it best- "I guess Warhol wasn't wrong/Fame 15 minutes long".

It's ridiculous that anyone would sign him to a contract,but he'll fade away very,very quickly.

 

[Goreripper]

Meanwhile there's a thousand acts with real talent being ignored because they can't get to TV and make an idiot of themselves.

 

[Goreripper]

Yes it is.
