ADEREMI'S NOTEBOOK

23 February 2004

Can’t Sing but will sing

The idol star who can’t sing. Last September, William Hung decided to try out for “American Idol” in San Francisco, appearing before judges Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.

It didn’t go well. Cowell stopped him with a curt, “You can’t sing, you can’t dance, so what do you want me to say?”
Some contestants argue when they get the Cowell cutoff; others cry. Said Hung, “I already gave my best and I have no regrets at all.”
The judges were disarmed but not swayed by his cheerful sincerity. Producers put the segment on the air as an example of how not to be — part of the show’s appeal, especially in the early rounds of competition, is watching hopefuls crash and burn.

‘Comprehensive discussions’ - like I ever give such. Can I give such (present and future)? - we can only wait.
