Public Singer Will Sing, Willy-Nilly

I’ve encountered my fair share of amateur singers, mostly of the older set, at public parks in China, but none have given a performance quite like this guy, captured on video Saturday at the Summer Palace by YouTube user BeijingShenghuo. He gets an A for effort, definitely.

But how bad is he, really? Bad enough to be good? Because as we all know, if one sings poorly enough, he or she comes out the other side as — if not quite good — at least popular. See: Hung, William; Wing.

Still doesn’t quite beat great, though. Youku video for those in China after the jump.
