A television classic: William Hung's January 2004 audition for American Idol. It's so bad it's good. Tags:WilliamHungAmericanIdol Added: 19th March 2008 Views: 201 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
I agree this was a really bad performance, but what really ticks me off is Simon Cowell. This is the most obnoxious sob I've ever come across on tv. I can only hope that one day someone will publicly humiliate him as he has done to so many others.
I think Simon's job is to give an honest opinion of each performance. Those who audition for this show do so with the knowledge that Simon will be bluntly honest. That's showbiz!
Most is just publicity for the show, remember last year with Sanjaya? It's just another way to get publicity on all the tv shows, print and internet all for free.
Maybe it's just me, but I think I'd rather have someone like Simon tell me in no uncertain terms that I'm lousy at something than be polite and give me a false sense of hope. If that same blunt person gives me priase, then I know it's sincere.
