William Hung – Inspiration
(Koch)

For those of who have been hibernating for the past few months, I will give you a short recap of current events. William Hung was one of the thousands of contestant to try out on American Idol. He performed the ever so popular and historic Rickey Martin classic “She Bangs”. If you haven’t seen it yet I suggest you head over to williamhung.net and check it out the original audition clip. I started spraying urine in my pants the first time I saw it. The singing and dancing was way too much for my bladder to handle.

At the audition the judges all laughed at him for being so bad. Hung’s reply was: “I already gave my best, and I have no regrets at all”. Then he added, “And you know, I have no professional train of singing”. Simon (one of the judges) replies with a sarcastic “No!”

Only in America can you do stupid things and achieve world wide fame and fortune. Even though Hung didn’t even pass the audition, he is getting more attention then people who did. Fan sites started appearing and the audio of “SHE BANGS!” was one of the top downloaded tunes on Itunes. He has been on countless shows like E.T, and has done many public performances. There is way too much to go over so I’ll just leave it at that.

Let’s talk about his new album called Inspiration. For those of you who know about William Hung, the album is exactly what you would expect it to be. It is quite comical to listen to, from the choice track listing to his inability to reach certain notes… well, actually, all the notes. Every so often you’ll hear short filler tracks from William giving his words of wisdom, kind of like an Asian version of Dr. Phil at times. It’s funny because the things he says are the same generic things you would hear from after school specials and your parents. Things like “Try your best!”

The track listing includes: She Bangs, I Believe I Can Fly, Hotel California, Rocket Man, Y.M.C.A Featuring The Gonnabees, and Shake Your Bon-Bon (among others). Even though the whole world is laughing, I still give him an “A” for effort! At least he hasn’t checked himself into a mental institute like those other internet stars (eg. The Starwars Kid). If you’re like one of those people who wants to bear William’s children, or just plan tap that fine William Hung ass of his, then get the damn cd. For the rest of you, I would suggest listening at least once just for the laughs… perhaps you’ll spray urine in your pants also.
