He is. But it's an audio/visual thing. You have to see the attempts at Ricky Martinesque choreography and the way he can sing an entire song without any facial expression whatsoever.

No one has any thoughts on the racism angle? For those too lazy to click the link, the premise is this: We have taken the bad-singer-as-cult-hero theme too far in the case of Wm. Hung. We are continuing to make fun of him not because he's bad, but because his facial features and voice reinforce negative Asian stereotypes a la '40s Bugs Bunny cartoons. I think it's p.c. garbage. No argy-ments?
