Move over Will, we have a new Asian American Idol now – Saratoga, CA, pool maintenance technician (read: pool boy) Paul Kim!
It kinda bothers me when people think about Asian singers, you think: William Hung. And uh, I’m not hating on William Hung, but, I mean, come on…
I kinda hoped he’d sing “She Bangs”, personally. He’s good though. Pretty damn good. And I really hope he gets some press and shows the American majority that Asian Americans can sing. Not that I’m hating on William Hung or anything…
Watch the YouTube dailymotion video after the jump…
What next?

I think I may have caught a glimpse of him on an American Idol re-run.. thankfully, here in England – William Hung is more of an “internet” thing. I’m not hatin’ on him, too. He just brings a very bad image towards me, unfortuantly.

Oops, thanks for letting us know that the video wasn’t working! Looks like our fearless leader, Ernie “I’m not Barbara Walters”, has fixed it.

[...] We’ve previously blogged about Paul Kim being the Anti-William Hung at the American Idol auditions, but did you actually know there are at least three people of Asian/Pacific Islander decent that have made the semi-finals? Along with Paul Kim, 22 year old AJ Tabaldo made the final cut. He describes himself as “an ethnic mutt” on his bio page, being “part Filipino and Portuguese with Spanish, French, Italian and Chinese.” Those who actually watch AI (cough, Like me, cough) also learned that this is AJ’s fifth attempt at auditioning for the show. Fifth. Lesson learned here, folks: “Give up on your dreams and become a surgeon, unless you’re AJ Tabaldo, and there’s still a chance you won’t win.” [...]
