What he said.

Apparently a lot of people are crazy for him now, hence the website (which I heard he didn't start). Ellen said she wanted him on the show because she liked his attitude.

Forget William Hung. I was watching for Lauren Graham. Melissa Ethridge was pretty good too.

the radio station I listen to played a mix of his song this morning. it was too cool. They said there was a petition with about 17000 signatures to get him back on AI. heh he'd probably end up winning.

Entertainment Tonight keeps playing clips of him in a recording studio and they are listening to the music - it's pretty damn humorous.

Melissa was great. She seems like such a down to earth and genuine person. I've never seen her on a talk show before. Question, is she pregnant? I know her (ex) partner had the first two kids. But I've never seen Melissa that heavy before. Was just curious. I've read she wanted more.

William was better than most of tonight's contestants on AI.

I've never seen the Ellen show before this. Are the guests always like this? It seemed like Lauren Graham was on drugs or something... and they didn't talk about Gilmore Girls at all.

Very rarely does Ellen and her guests focus on whatever they are promoting. It is refershing and entertaining, since it is more of a natural, relaxed conversation (with gifts, too!) and less of a 3 minute, phony promotion for the latest book or CD or TV show or movie.

It makes it worth watching, really.

I Tivo'ed it to see William Hung. By the way - all you anti-AI people: William Hung is the Anti-American Idol (not anti-american you see - more like anti-idol)

Too bad Ellen jumped in & screwed up his edition of "Rocket Man"

I saw the scenes of him in the recording studio on Entertainment Tonight. I liked how Clay and Kelly were trying to be kind when commenting on his version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?".

"It's enough to make kings and wag-a-bonds..."

I still don't think he realizes people are laughing at him, and he seriously thinks he has a future in music. It's kinda sad, really.

WIlliam Hung Rules!!! I was laughing my ass off during the whole show... Ellen really seems to feel for the guy, but I can't say I feel too bad for him... he is making a killing and getting lots of publicity out of this.

It's not on until 9 pm here, but when I first saw she was doing a show, I never imagined it would be so good. She's a natural at it.

Anti-American Idol
You are on to something.

Simon: So why do you hate America?
Contestant: I dislike their foriegn policy!
Simon: Is that it? if this was French Idol, you might make it, but we're looking for real Anti-Americans. You are pathetic.
