Deluded and How to Become Famous
Remember Flynn Liu from last year? His audition for Australian Idol was so bad that it was goooood? Much like William Hung in the US (heh heh – that name always cracks me up), he got his 15 minutes of fame and then pfft! I also wondered whether he was especially sought out by the Australian show’s copycat producers after William Hung become “famous” in the US of A. Hmmm. Very very likely.
Anyway I for one did not see the humour in it all. I cringed, not because I’m Chinese but more because of me wondering, “How can these guys be so tone-deaf and thick-skinned, and be proud of it?” I also cringed because I know they were being used as “freak” attractions, to be used and milked and then tossed aside.
And all that time I was bewildered. Do they really think that ppl are laughing with them instead of at them? Are they so deluded? Apprently Flynn is …
From the link below:
After a brief time-out, which Liu admits was “to have my cheek bones, jaw bones and eyelids done for my career”, he is ready to face the cameras again. “I love my new face. I can’t wait to show people.”
Holy F**K! He’s got a new face!? Even William Hung didn’t go that far. I hope he got voice lessons too – his face was never the problem.
Being a freak may make you famous but the joke’s on you. Wake up Flynn!
i almost forgotten who “hung” was…
thx for reminding me…
now, i need to get rid of that annoying sound out of my head…

You go die ==> Ni ju si
What half of your real name that sounds like Chinese?
You’re joking me… say it isn’t so!! *crawls back under the covers and pulls pillow over head*
Mooi : Oi that sound like Ni juicy, hahahaha, You juicy? Muahahahaha!
Half of my name is Shikin.
So they think it’s Shi Kin, lagi worse, my Hong Kong agent calls me Shin Kin.
