Last Night's American Idol

Wasn't it sweet how they let a retarded kid audition?

Really, it warms the heart.

UPDATE:
Yes, I realize William Hung is not developmentally disabled! I was being playfully jocular, you crazy kids!

i bet he's an uber-genius. he said something about being a poli-sci or urban-sci major @ uc berkeley, if i'm not mistaken.

what about last week when the chinese kid from hong kong sang that elvis presley song...and pronounced every "L" with the "R" sound...now THAT was bad.

We had Chinese food delivered, and this guy who was on screen when our food arrived. Delivered by, you know, this other non-retarded Chinese guy. Maybe you had to be there. But it was an amazing moment.

Hi. Let's stop saying "retarded." He goes to Berkeley, one of the ten top schools in the nation. You can't be a genious and Justin Timberlake all in one, right? So grow up, take that insulting picture off, and give some respect to people who actually have mental disabilities. THANKS. have a great life.

I don't know what it is about this William Hung guy, but all the girls at the University of Illinois are going crazy about how "cute" and "nice" he was on the show. Give me a break! I've heard like eight or ten HOT girls make comments about how adorable "that Chinese guy who sang Ricky Martin" was on the show. Even my girlfriend has away messages on AIM devoted to this dude. I'm telling you, I'm smelling the birth of a coast-to-coast icon in that weird looking little dancing Asian man.

given that william does not have the best presentation skills, he is by no means a "retard". To make such false statements based on one performance is indicative of the maturity level and ignorance exuded by those who do not know any better. To be a civil engineer student at Berkely you have to have intelligence and for those who can't decipher the difference between intelligence and a "retard" i trust that i will not be seeing you at berkely or any other community state college anytime soon for that matter. Look who's the "RETARD" now!

You should be ashamed at yourself...

I agree with those of you touting William as the next big thing to come out of American Idol (and that doesn't include Ruben) I personally can't stand the show or most of the attention deprived teens that try out. William however changed that. I practically pissed my pants when I saw his performance, and was impressed with his ability to remain positive in the heat of harsh criticism. It looks like most people on this blog love him rather then hate him. My guess is we'll be seeing more of him in the months to come.

For those of you out there who think Hung's a prick and retarded, try going out there yourself to the audition. You sure think you have the looks to beat at least a guy like Hung. But wait and see how much press you can generate with your kind of talent.

Hung, you're a man of mercy and confidence. Go Bears! I admire the way you handled the insults. Go be a good engineer. Celebrities who think they are all that need houses to live in and highways to drive on too. They can't build these themselves. Well, at least not in this life.

When I first saw William Hung's AI audition, I was really somewhere between appalled and amused. But later I saw the clip of his "live" performance at UC Berkeley and I realised he is just a GREAT sport.
The way America has taken him into her arms has made me realise how much Americans really love the underdog - much the way I do. :) although I'm from Singapore. So Americans, I'm gonna forget about Iraq & WMD for a moment, and say You Rock, Too. :)

William Hung is a simple retarded Asian boy who needs some severe dental work; he could also use a quick visit from the fashion police about the hideous clothes he wears.

Hung is goofy but in a sweet way and that is why people are gravitating toward the guy. He is like Forest Gump, he is like Toby on American Splendor, he was probably picked on a lot in school, he is the supreme social underdog and who doesn't love underdogs. If American Idol was smart they would add him as a permanent 4th judge, (even if his comments wouldn't count to avoid countless ties). He would add a real every nerd quality to the show, give it some heart, ok, goofy heart but some heart just the same.

Well hung Will Hung! I salute you! I admit, it's the rejects that draw me to AI, I enjoy the clueless loosers who have no idea they suck. I find it funny how the worst singers usually protest the loudest to statments about their lack of talent. Will is not a clueless jurk, he knows he stinks. Can't y'all understand that's where his greatness comes from? He sucks and that's the point. Sir Hung is a brilliant but simple man. he is an enigma in this modern world. An underdog yes, but more than that. We all should chill out and enjoy the simple things in life...embrace the goodness we all have. Repect ourselves with a dose of humar. The Hung movement is a statment. A statement that says we are fed up with the unrealistic expectations that the media puts on us....look at the next show to air after Will performed tonight...a "reality" show that didn't represent reality at all! a bunch of perfict bodys on an island. I doubt that women paied mutch mind to the hung one b-4 he was on tv. Shame on you! Neards diserve to have sex too. Instead of swooning over Sir. Hung, perhaps you ladys would do well to notice the sweet men who suround you. Every town is full of them so take time to look.

This is a message to Susan who posted Feb. 19/04

"William Hung is a simple retarded Asian boy"
First point: if he was a so called "retard", he wouldn't be studying Engineering at U of Cal (one of the top 10 universities in US)

"The only problem I have everyday is that I know that I am going to be even more good looking tomorrow"
Second point: Go back to elementary school and learn to communicate before you embarrass yourself in front of the world.
Third point: You don't have a problem unless you're far from perfection (meaning you're ugly)

"...improve his chances getting in the Special Olympics."
Forth point: He's most likely gonna make WAY more money than you because of his fame. And besides, he knows a whole lot more about Engineering than most people if he studies at one of the best universities in US. He can get extremely far in life already because of this.

By the way, I'm a lawyer, please don't try to make a comeback. I don't want to embarrass you more than I already have.

Wow Andy, you really are clever! It is nice you are taking time out from your studies to help that poor retarded deluded Willy Hung. The only thing I am feeling down about is that I just wish someone would skin Willy alive so that I could wear him as a suit jacket. Good luck on coaching Willy in the Special Olympics, it is too bad because he has already given his best.

Fact: He studies civil engineering at one of the top universities in the country (which I'm sure a lot of you here wouldn't even have the guts to apply to).

Fact: He is famous, without having to do much. Effortless.

Fact: His debut album is selling like crazy, despite the fact that he can't really sing.

Fact: Chicks dig him (not just ordinary or ugly chicks, but a lot of HOT chicks too).

And some of you call him a "retard"? He's laughing his way to the bank, with whatever hot chick he's with, and with his Berkeley degree waiting for him. And you?

actually darlin i graduated from a top 20 school and am now in veterinary school. where are you, Fran? and why are you getting so angry, it's just a william hung message board. the fact is he looks and acts like there is something mentally wrong with him. the fact that he has a record deal just proves that america just latches on to something and follows it blindly all the way into the ground. no one will know who he is in a few months. and there are a lot of people out there who really deserve record deals and have been perfecting their craft all their lives, and then here comes this novelty act who can't sing, dance or even pronounce words and is offered a record deal because people feal sorry for him. its not fair to the people who do have talent and who have worked hard. bottom line is that he may very well be a good person but he in no way deserves a record deal and all this exposure. it's ridiculous. and the sad part is that he actually thinks he is good and that people like to watch him sing because he has talent. but the sad fact is that everybody is laughing at him. that's the only reason the record company offered him a deal, because people are entertained by his ineptness, which i think is kind of wrong.

lol, i agree that william hung definitely is NOT retarted, considering he's at Berkeley..

unfortunately, i'd like to point out that those of u who thinks he 'cute' or something of that sort are.

imho, he stinks. he pathetically ugly.
and while i agree that he has gusto, he absolutely can't sing. he doesn't deserve a cd or so much attention for his singing ability, which is totally non-existant.
don't mix bravado with talent, u guys.. he totally doesn't deserve a record deal.

i pity him, cos he think he's the best, but in acutality, everyone's laughing at him, not with him. and i do think he's getting big-headed. i read on a paper on what he said. the reporter asked if he was abt to do comedy anythime soon. and he said:' i think i could excel in anything i put my mind to, but i don't think i want to do comedy." hallo?? excel in ANYTHING..

bottomline, he's just living fantasy of millions of ordinary people in this world who hope to be a star like him. his total show of no-talent just reaffirms their dream that anything in this world is possible, even if u have nothing. it goes to show how empty-headed some people are, admiring no-talent. dream on, people.

In the movie "Cool Hand Luke" starring Paul Neuman,there was a quote from the prison warden character who said, "A man has to know his limitations."

Book smart William Hung does not know his limitations. He will never have good looking children besides not being able to sing or dance. Maybe when he was young, he didn't know his limitations of attending UC Berkley either. In Hung's case ingorance is not only bliss but can make you some money and notoriety.
