Just goes to show that even in a silly looking leotard, it takes something special to pull it off.
Mind you, I think the kid made a shitload of scratch from this. Hmmm, perhaps leotards and music is the way to go.

I don't know, I see it as a tribute to Freddie not an insult. "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery."
Crazy as it is, Hung has fans. They're cheering him on, not mocking him or the songs he 'sings'. I wouldn't let it upset you. There's no harm done.

It amazes me that so-called fans of a band whose work included so much humor throughout the years continues to be such bitchy, humorless twits about harmless matters such as this.
If it's not bad enough to be funny to you, then don't watch or listen to it. It changes nothing.

I mean, what a travesty! How dare they even ATTEMPT to emulate Freddie's genius!?? That should be against the law. Only Freddie Mercury is allowed to sing Queen songs, and since he's dead...hey, let's just ban the live performance of Queen songs altogether. And PAUL RODGERS!! OMFG!!!!112!1one! Simple. He will be put to death for insulting Freddie. I mean, hasn't he a brain?
LongLostMercury...please. Being a bad musician does not forbid you from covering songs of musicians who are better than you. In fact, covering songs is a TRIBUTE, not a TRAVESTY.[/QUOTE]
Lol, awesome... :P

William Hung is the poster boy for the mediocrity that has gripped the music world since our dearest Freddie departed it. This is a bittersweet and ironic farce, to see one extreme portray the other. The degradation knows no bounds, and I look with a sick fascination into the abyss.

As a musician, I agree with you about mediocrity in the music world, but no one takes this William Hung guy seriously. Do you think he really has fans? No, they are laughing at him, not with him. Do you think William Hung cares people are laughing at him? NO, BECAUSE HE'S LAUGHING AT THE PEOPLE BUYING HIS CRAP, AND HE'S MAKING MONEY OFF OF THEM! I find him hilarious! LOL! And I can't speak for our dear Fred, but I think he'd have a laugh too. He did have a wicked sense of humor.

Well, I agree with you on most of those points, but Freddie wouln't have laughed at all, I don't think. I remember reading that he was absolutely disgusted when Bri and Rog helped The Young Ones spoof BoRhap as the band Bad News. He put a lot of emotion into his songs, so seeing others fuck them up royally isn't something he approved of, or could laugh at.
Well, unfortunately he's gone, so we shouldn't put words in his mouth.
well what about another one rides the bus? is that insulting too? usually people parody other artists cause they admire them...not hate them

Uhmmm... but how exactly is he trying to damage Freddie's and Queen's image? :P
The only thing that William Hung hurt was our ears. Simple as that.
