"We have been playing christmas music to Grandma for four years while she has been in a coma. My Uncle Marty bought the cd "Hung for the Holidays" and put it on constant random play for the last 24 hours. Doctors tell us there has been a great increase in brain wave activity. They tell us the brain acivity is similar to that which has been seen in patients undergoing surgery without anesthetic. Grandma's eyes are red and wide with the look of terror --- thank you William for proving that Grandma is still alive and with us. I know that if Grandma is able to rise from her bed she will first pull the CD plug and next cut Uncle Marty out of the will. Thank you so much for the best Christmas present ever!"

"O.k. we all know Mr. Hung can't sing, but that's the oxymoronic point of the album. Repeatedly I've read reviews of "No one would play this over the Dept Store speakers". Well I've got news for you critics! It is and has been in the a BestBuy near me. Instantly people starting looking up at speakers and start laughing, b/c they know who this recognizable voice is. Sorry bad grammar. I, also, must state I heard it on the internet radio on Accuholidays several times at work.
Lighten up it is only poking fun at our obsession for perfection. Lighten up, several mainline artist I think have butchered various Christmas carols/traditional songs...by trying to spice it up. There flippant voice exercising its talent needlessly. I can't believe every artist thinks they need to put out a Christmas album *:P*
Anyways...I know this isn't helpful. I just had to defend the point of the William Hung Album. He is no worse than any other mainline artist trying to make an extra million bucks! Except, Mr. Hung's album is actually funny and worth possessing.
God Bless.

"At least he sings these songs himself.
No Milli Vanilli.
No Madonna or Britney.
And, no Ashlee Simpson.
Give the guy some credit for integrity!"

"William Hung's Christmas album really has been getting me into the spirit of Christmas. Nothing touches my heart more than his sweet voice delighting in the season of Jolly. Like Baby Jesus crying in a Manager, his voice on Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells, and Little Drummer Boy make for some of the best renditions since Bing Crosby or Elvis's Christmas records. I'd say only GG Allin's rendition of 12 Days of Christmas gets this close to perfection. Also includes an Inspiration "outtake"; "We are the Champions". A perfect stocking stuffer for the music lover of the family!"
William Hung ..Ho! Ho! Ho!....this is funny

"Ok i,ll be one of the few of the positive reviews for William.Likewise on his debut album,"Inspiration".I see all these bad reviews for him and now i believe those people have no sense of humour.Come on,laugh at a little dude that can't sing.Hell im surprised they didn't come out with something like this before.Anyways,Will gets in the holiday spirit with this album.The song selection here is good.But,the songs are short making the whole album very short,18 minutes.One difference is that William actually sounds A BIT better at the singing thing.(I didn't say he was good now folks.)The bonus cut(hidden track) at the end of the album is a version of QUEEN's "We Are The Champions".Which is odd for a christmas album.So all you loyal Hung fans enjoy Will's festive spirit here and now,all you un-humourous people....BAH! HUMBUG!"
