Dude, I didn't even think about the echo in that track, holy shit. Good ear, man! Also thanks for including me on this and subjecting me to horrors I can't unhear.
@@CactusMalpractice Thanks brother, but I wish I was more thorough with my thoughts like you were on this one. Also I posted this to Reddit and they have a recommendation for ya. Steven Segal - Songs from the Crystal Cave
Another great video. Really digging this series. I really like how you pointed out how the mixers sabotaged him. If you're looking for other guest stars, I'd be more than happy to contribute on future reviews.
The only inspiration I got from this album is that William Hung showed that a person with very little musical talent can sell 200,000 albums making him a financial success in the music business. This is not an insult. Hung showed that other things besides talent are essential to being an entertainment business success. 1. He worked hard learning the songs & creating his album. 2. He repeatedly performed in front of large audiences, TV celebrities & music company executives. 3. He dealt with harsh negative reactions numerous times & never quit. 4. He got a manager or agent to get a music company recording contract. ** As for the review video, first, it praises Hung’s faster songs too much. As a musician/singer Hung never fixes all his serious lack of talent. Take YMCA, a highly rated song on the review. The arrangement helps to hide some of Hung’s weaknesses but he still can’t pronounce English words well. I could not understand about 1/3 of the lyrics. It’s not good. YMCA is a 2/5 imo. - Second, the review tries to blame the producer, engineers for album’s failure. I disagree. Most of the album is karaoke music but a good singer could still make those songs work. Take Hotel California. The arrangement is bare bone but Hung is terrible with his pronunciation of the lyrics. I know the song well but I could not understand him half the time. He’s also flat. I’ve recorded two albums myself. I would have no clue how to make Hung sound good with Hotel California. I think the recording engineer put in the echo to try some way to make Hung’s bad performance better. 1/5 * Finally, I think that Hung being a nice person is fine. Some people bought his album just because of that. And the album being so awful, because of his lack of talent, got buyers because some of it is so bad it’s hilarious. (I Believe I Can Fly) - Still Hung is doing well financially. He showed how to work the music business with almost nothing talent wise.
I love the charm of this album. You can tell he’s trying, I feel like this was made for fun because of him wanting to make music. Most of this stuff would be great when covered by other musicians. Also, does Grizzly have a framed picture of Squidward?
another great video, Sir Cactus Malpractice 🙏 i agree with you 100% on this one... it's really a bad album, but also a really sad experience? like you said "they want him to look like the village idiot" ... and i honestly believe that it's true; a lot of the things you mentioned here prove that point...exploiting someone, just to make him look bad? that is just, so freaking mean, it hurts... And, i also agree with you, this might even be worse than the shaggs' philosophy of the world 😥if their father wasn't a terrible person, they would have had a better life...and the album is bad because of their abusive father, and it's a very... sad album .... THIS however, is not William Hung's fault, at all either, but...the fact that they decided to exploit William Hung, to make him look horribly bad? it's so sad and cruel... It's very much a sad album, and i think this is probably the worst thing i've ever listened to lol Metal Machine Music hurts my ears, but at least Lou Reed did it as a giant middle finger towards the people that were interviewing him, making dumb questions, etc...and it was very influential in a lot of OTHER sides of music, so.. it's not really the worst album of all time for me, personally.
William's rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a holiday classic! I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys humorous holiday songs.🎄
hey I know I already recommend you something but I was wondering if you were going to do the green day trilogy or metallica St anger or Lulu I was just wondering
Lulu was already in my line up 100%. I'm always a lil scared with doing bands like green day or Metallica cause you never know if the record label will just block the video worldwide if I showcase any actual music.All things considered I will absolutely add St Anger cause It does get its fair set of Criticism still to this day. However, I think I'm going to skip out on the green day trilogy. Is the trilogy a bloated mess that really should have been one album with all the weak tracks thrown out! Oh yeah! But I haven't really heard the Green Day trilogy hated nearly as much as Revolution Radio or Father of all Motherfuckers. I think we are so close to a perfectly horrid green day record. We just have to hope and prey Thanks again for the suggestions Alex!
Oh also UPDATE! My copy of Cut the Crap has arrived safe and sound yesterday! I have two more vids to put out and then The Clash is all cleared for its review!
Can't sing? Dude, you know what Les Claypool's dad said? "you can't sing for shit, but you can play that bass like a motherfu-" etc. You know what, Will? Let's collab someday. I unironically love "she bangs". Why? Because William Hung sings it. I'd love to make a cool experimental band with William Hung 😂 As a huge residents fan, i think that you can sing, even if you can't sing. Ask that to all the artists that use autotune *SHRUG*
Still better than that obnoxious as fuck whistling song "Rx" by Theory of a Deadman. Hung may suck, but at least he was a flash in a pan and he made his $. He's not a cockroach like some of these nu-metal/butt rock bands that been crawling around since even before this album.
I go to a place called strive which does karioke and some of the people are not the best singers but my god there trying and i love it none of the less
My copy of the CD came with a documentary that doesn't paint Will in the best light. The producers of the album are shown trying to make william sound like a joke. Hung also wasn't really loved by a lot of people in the Asian community. I can't speak for them but here is an article written about how the success of William Hung was most likely attributed to racist stereotypes and mockery. web.archive.org/web/20070926232336/news.asianweek.com/news/view_article.html?article_id=f6b346aeef949e07086dba0edb2e63bd and www.sfgate.com/politics/article/William-Hung-Racism-Or-Magic-2798362.php
He may have little talent but his charm is infectious
I first found this at Goodwill and I had to stop the car because I couldn't stop laughing
Why were you driving a car inside of Goodwill?
Hope you had the volume up LOUD 😂
Thanks for putting safety first. 😅
@kagaminate2923 You laughed? I had to turn it off because it gave me a headache!

100% on pointing out the lazy production. Just a money grab for everyone while William sings his heart out.
I can FLYYyyyYYyyyYYYyyyYYyyYYYyyyYYYYyyyYYY
I like that when you quote a review, you just look in the distance with your mouth open, for the entire quote, not even bothering to do a freeze frame
Exploitation is the perfect description. Laughing at him, not with him. Hopefully he laughed all the way to the bank.

One of my favorite comments I’ve seen in a while.❤️
He may not be the best singer, but listening to William Hung gives me happy karaoke night vibes, and I’m all for it!

His third album Miracle is actually significantly worse.
This album gives me a newfound appreciation of autotune.
Check out, “Angst in My Pants” by Sparks (1982) Thanks!
BTW, the album cover may make you laugh kind of. LOL
😂 😆 😂 😝 I believe I can fly!! I seriously can use this song for PRANKS AT MIDNIGHTS
You should do an icejjfish album. I don’t know if he ever made an album but if he did you should review it.
I looked into it and he totally did so I'll add it took a list! Will take awhile to get to fair warning!
@@CactusMalpractice Its all good I'm just glad it made it to the list

Well, I really don't think the album's producer Dee Sonaram (a R&B/Hip Hop producer of mostly forgettable / mediocre acts) helped William's situation.

Why does the front of the album have that font that is on every jersey in high school movies?
Asking the most important question
Oh nice, I might need to ebay that album poster in door size.

The best cover of rocketman is wiliam shatner
At least he's... Hung.
William Hung is a god! Better than 99% of the crap released in the last 10 years! Especially the genres of "cRAP" and "sHIt- hop".
Garrett actually kinda is good at singing
Still better than that obnoxious as fuck whistling song "Rx" by Theory of a Deadman. Hung may suck, but at least he was a flash in a pan and he made his $. He's not a cockroach like some of these nu-metal/butt rock bands that been crawling around since even before this album.
But is it better than I hate my life? The song where he admits to being attracted to underage girls
@@eddiedingle767 or bitch came back where he spends the whole song singing about how how stupid women are
I remember him from American Idol people loved him for being so awful it was a great time
I go to a place called strive which does karioke and some of the people are not the best singers but my god there trying and i love it none of the less
Metal Machine Music is on your board of shame?! Really?! That's a great album!
Weeeell, that's debatable..
It's experimental
Hung for the Holidays is even worse.
why do you assume that the people involved were trying to exploit him?

try scott walker bish bosch as a contender
Tom Waits-Swordfishtrombones
Nah, that album is great.
Garrett should make and review his own album. Also what is up with the video pausing when you make a comment now.... I no like
William Hung: if Yoko Ono was a man
William Hung: if Freddy Mercury was GOOD
I dunno, I like it. 6/10
No five star song?! Dang, you’re being such a Simon Cowell here.
your dad looks like freddie mercury
hi
Howdy
I gave up on the show many years ago its a joke.
Mojo doesn’t know how to sing in Chinese nor Cantonese that’s sad bruh! 😂
At least its better than Justin Bieber
Yeah, at least he doesn't seem to be using auto-tune.
Help!
