William Hung

[hybrid_tiger]

Just saw his filmclip yesterday on MTV. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did this talent-less, no-hoper get rewarded with a record contract for being utterly pathetic?

The fact that he has released a song and has been handed a contract is a kick in the guts to anyone in the world who has ever tried to make it in the cut-throat music industry.

How dare they reward a person who has less talent than strangling a cat make it before millions of others who are actually half-serious.

Just another blight on the disgraceful American/Australian Idol series. What a f**king joke - too bad it's not even remotely funny.

As I understand it. William Hung killed himself recently.

It's business, and it's selling. It may not be your slice of heaven but as far as record labels are concerned, who cares? It's making them money.

I agree though it is pretty harsh on those with talent...

 

[fat_mike]

this is exactly what jay from frenzal rhomb was talking about when he had that phone call with kyle and jackie -o. legitimate musicians and damn hard working musicians are getting pushed off or thrown away by their labels so the label can welcome some jackass that will have rought 1.3 minutes of fame.

its a disgrace and shows just how bad the major record labels are when it comes to things like this.

Damn right this is pathetic. And if there was no American Idol/Pop Idol/whatever in the first place we wouldn't have these one-hit wonders/cover artists in the first place, perhaps giving an opportunity for an orginal, hardworking artist.

Coincidently, I saw Hung's cd in Vinnies about 2 weeks after it was released for $3. But the weird thing is, he thinks he's being rewarded for being talented!!!!!! Dude, they're taking the piss!!!! So deluded, bet he was planning a world tour also. Now he's back to Maccas with Craig Nicholls and that guy from Nickleback.

Agreed. It's absolutely pathetic.

i'm assuming whatever means neighbours

 

[Raider_69]

come on. you dont think Hung knows he has no talent?
do you really think he dosnt know everyone is taking the piss out of him?

of corse he does, but he is raking in the $$ so i dont think its a real worry of his
i agree that its a slap in the face to any hard working bloke with talent but if it will sell, it will sell, record labels are in the busniess not to make money

As I understand it. William Hung killed himself recently.

The reports of his demise via a heroin overdose were fake.

Unfortunately.

William's middle name out to be "shouldbe"

 

[Mr Angry]

Well there you go.
Cheers SM.

Mind you all these muso's sound like him to me.
