American Born Chinese and William Hung

I thought the connection Yang made to William Hung in American Born Chinese was interesting. I have been asked to post this and hope that for those that did not see the connection will see it! The panel when Chin-Kee is singing She Bang on the Library table seems to come from an actual person named William Hung. He was a contestant for American Idol in 2004. He is Chinese and not a very good singer, but he seemed to capture the attention of the American public and became super popular. I have put up a link for you to see the youtube video of his audition so you can see how it connects to the graphic novel.
