"William Hung is the kind of talent what the American Idol show should be finding: an untrained singer relying on his passion and love for music to EVENTUALLY become a great singer. Of all the singers on American Idol, William Hung best represents this ideal. He is obviously not trained but you can tell from the first second when his melodious voice starts on this album that he has loads of unrealized potential and that after a couple more albums like this, he will be one of the greatest pop singers of his generation. He is also some sort of yellowish Asian but I won't mention that because I am not a racist."

I am a Hung man!

"What can I say except that this CD is one for the ages! Just save this one for when you've got the top down on a hot summer day, at the beach. It just puts you in an indescribable summer mood! Just crank up his amazing version of "Surfin' USA", and heads will definitely turn your way, with smiles from ear to ear! Brian Wilson must be proud! His smooth, melodious crooning will bring tears to your eyes...trust me! Mr. Hung has a knack for making a song his own, and makes it barely recognizable in the process. I was considering putting some Sinatra into the CD player on Valentine's Day, but I think this one will achieve the magic mood, with all due respect to 'Ol Blue Eyes. A definite Desert Island Classic! What else can I say about this one...hmmm...oh yes, if you actually take this review seriously, you're probably the same kind of person who also takes this CD seriously and pans it! Giving it 1 star because he can't sing? Come on!! It's a novelty CD which isn't supposed to be taken seriously! And for those of you resentful that someone who "sings" like this makes money off of it, lighten up!! There's just something about his cracked crooning, goofy looks, and his aparent eagerness to make an arse of himself that's so appealing to so many ears! So get used to it -- not everything is supposed to be listened to in a serious way, and if you think this CD sucks because the sound of his voice could peel the paint off a wall, you're just not getting it!! Hey, maybe "Hung Sings Nat 'King' Cole" isn't too far behind? If so, I'm sure it's friggin' hilarious, too!"

Hung Off Key and Right On!

"William Hung is no singer. For those of you that have watched American Idol, you know that already. That said, Hung's vocal stylizing can only make you laugh! (It should also make you feel good in knowing that there is someone in the world that sings A LOT worse than you.) It is a fun disc all in all. "I Left My Heart in San Fansisco" made me cry--with laughter. And "Take Me Out to the Ballgame?" Hung never sings one note right, but it's a hit!"
