And people say well, "it's just a joke", "get over it" and "they showed bad/funny auditions of whites too". Difference being that guys like Will Hung became one of the most recognizable Asian male face in western pop culture, There is no positive images of Asian males to offset and balance out the negative stereotypes like Will Hung. THAT is what most white people will never understand about us.
Unbelievable in this day and age we still have the Asian version of "uncle tom" or "blackface" delighting the white audience whilst being laughed and mocked at. He did not get on the show due to his "determination" or whatever, he was a two bit comedy act, a cartoon character. it was a conscious effort by the producers to show his audition, they knew it had a good chance of going viral. They try to mock us but in reality it says much more about the people doing the mocking rather than us.
Another classic case of western racial indoctrination. The truth of the matter is that for a couple of years Will fuckin Hung was the most well known Asian in pop culture, says alot about how the west perceives Asians. I don't care if he made money or got laid off it, doesn't hide what this is, which is clearly playing to hurtful and psychologically damaging stereotypes of Asian men.
what is this yahoo everyone is talking about in the comments? i just came here because i started wondering about how rebecca black was doing....who got wildly famous....just like...william hung did!! i remember him releasing an album where he butchered countless songs. my middle school teacher would play the cd in class. wow im old.
He may not have the best voice but he gets all the props in the world for having the courage to go on American Idol and give it a shot. I have no right to make fun of him because I know I'd be too nervous to do what he did.
@lethaldos3 "the sad thing is LA Weekly named him the GREATEST artist of all time". Read the entire article and at least understand first. They are saying it without directly saying it - "He's an inspiration to musicians all across the world". Not only does it applies to music, but everyday life. The message is - he did it and was not scared, gave it his best had no regrets, neither did he beg for a second chance. He's a ordinary person and has no talent, if he can do it, anyone can
@KuLuPee916 I have read the whole article which is why I said I found it sad. And he may be a motivational inspiration to ordinary people--but in no way has he influenced the music industry--people just want to see him perform to get a quick laugh and to feel better about themselves. It was funny the first couple of years--now there is no reason to keep making a joke out of someone just because they "fit" the Asian stereotype.
make him sing a shortend version of the song, hit 4 then let him finish the short line, then 5, then 6, then 7, then 8 for the akward silence of death. (itll work if you wait 2 or 3 seconds between hitting the next key.
I thought he'd be worse, but actually his voice is neither here nor there. Not terribly horrible and not very good. I like that he was very confident, it makes me like him.
his vocal abilities arent that bad but his accent and dancing makes it funny. not to mention the song choice!!! and being super asian makes it even funnier!
Like this comment if you remember watching this live and thinking wtf has happened to people, then saying WTF has happened to society when he became a pop idol for 3 years.
What does being a puppet for a reality show have to do with the American dream. Winning American pisses on people who had to build their way up the musical ladder and become famous without help from a crappy reality show like American Idol.
@XXDodgerSoxxXX86 Someone is angry over something stupidly pointless.
Why not go be angry over forced infant circumcision? Or taxes? The cutting down of thousands of acres of forests? Maybe even the mistreatment and slaughter of animals? Or what about the tight jesus belt around the country? The government's role in college making college a hell of a lot more expensive than it needs to be?
Just saying, you get this angry over music when a million other things are going on? lol...
good performance.
