I think William Hung is one of the luckiest men alive.

William Hung might be an awful singer, but the fact that he's so good at being bad that it makes him a good "singer". The hilarious way how he sings and performs makes him a way much better entertainer than all these people...
- Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Osbourne (and all the girls who want to become singers because they have a mom, dad, or sis in show biz. Then whine about how hard they have to work to become a star.)
- Enrique Iglesias
- LFO
- Lindsay Lohan, Hillary, Jennifer Lopez (and every just about every single crappy actor or actress who is way much worse singer).
- N'SYNC
- Lou Reed
- Limp Bizkit
- Smash Mouth
- Missy Elliot
- Kelly Osbourne
- Cher
- Vanilla Ice
- Kid Rock
- Insane Clown Possee
- Third Eye Blind
- Creed
- Jessica Simpson
- Ja Rule
- Oingo Boingo
- Counting Crows
- Beastie Boys
...and the list goes on and on
why lou reed?
and i like lindsay lohan..a lot...she's not that bad of a singer.
anyways, i feel sorry for william hung. whenever i see him on television it usually appears as if he has no idea what he is doing.
i think he's cute. When i saw his queen video i became kinda angry, because it was crappy. He was just singing the words, and he looked dead. no feeling,not getting into the song, so yeah he killed it
Man, what is so wrong with doing a comedically bad version of a Queen song? Brian produced one himself for 'Bad News'. I don't think it puts a stain on Queen's reputation or anything. It hurts nobody.
The very fact that some Queen songs have become such universally known 'anthems' and are the ones chosen for this sort of thing should be considered an honor.
What I think is worse is a so-called serious attempt at a cover version which turns out really bad. Like Robbie Williams' version. His 'peed my juice' version http://members.cox.net/breakfree/peed_my_juice.mp3 is awful in my opinion. At least Hung sings it with the original words mostly intact.

I've peed my juice, Time after time...
You'd think that after the first time, He'd have learned. Tsk, tsk...

Lou Reed is just a plain bad singer, so is Bob Dylan. It doesn't matter that they might be good songwriters. They're just awful singers.
I also like Lindsay Lohan a LOT... but only her rack.
Oh wait... it's not even real. I take that back then.
Now back to William Hung...
How many of you guys would turn down $25.000 for a record contract, even when you consciously know that you're a bad singer?
I seriously know that I wouldn't. I know I suck as a singer, and if the way I sing makes people laugh, then good for them.
Besides people are not forced to buy a certain record and listen to it. Also, if someone like William Hung appears on TV or radio, there's always a switch button to press if you don't like it.

Queen Guitarist Okay With William Hung Covering 'We Are The Champions'

Some people might question William Hung's singing talents, but his dedication is something to be admired. That's the word from Queen guitarist Brian May, who's been asked about the American Idol reject's new cover of Queen's "We Are The Champions."
On his official brianmay.com website, May explains that does not have a problem with Hung’s recording of the song. "People send us covers every day. The only time we ever say no is if it's something abusive to women, or racially abusive, or something like that...but if people are honestly interpreting the song, then how could you possibly tell them you didn't want them to do that? As they say, it's the greatest compliment, so thank you, Mr. Hung."
May can currently be heard playing on the song "Someone To Die For," which is featured in Spider-Man 2. The track was written and sung by Jimmy Gnecco of the band the Ours.
The success of Hung's version of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" helped his debut album enter the Billboard 200 chart at Number 34, having sold over 37,000 copies in its first week back in April.
I can't believe some of you are taking his music seriously...dear god...it's partially a satire...anyway, the guy seems a bit disabled, so cool off because it's somewhat interesting to watch and sometimes when I watch it, part of it seems sad because he's being taken advantage of because of his disability, and no, it's not his disability in singing...anyway...see you some other sunny day my peeps...

Comparing Freddie Mercury's singing ability to Bob Dylan's... hmmm

I do... I just downloaded the song from Kazaa and it still sounds like crap to me.
I dare anyone to listen to that song, and tell me that Freddie couldn't sing it better than Dylan.
Here's a link...

Seems to me like the only thing that Freddie couldn't do, but Dylan could... is singing really bad. I don't think Freddie could sing this bad, even if he tried.
