'American Idol': Yoji 'Pop' Asano is the new William Hung
Thank you TV Gods for the gift that was Yogi "Pop" Asano on "American Idol." We desperately needed a William Hung this season and you delivered.
The 25-year-old "singer" from Japan strutted into his audition in a gold metallic jacket and immediately had the judges enthralled with tales of his Michael Jackson impersonating days.
When Jennifer Lopez asked what his story was, Mr. "Pop" answered, "My story? Uh... I've been imitating Michael Jackson since I was two-years-old," but soon corrected himself, saying he has actually been imitating the late King of Pop since "before I was born."
Asano went on to sing Miley Cyrus' infectious hit "Party in the USA" and literally had Lopez jumping up and down in her seat with glee when he busted out some "Thriller" moves. Eat your heart out, Chris Brown! Our only complaint? We didn't get to see the judges' critique of Asano. We'd kill to know what Steven Tyler had to say...
