William Hung Overshadows
Backstreet Reunion, All-Star Lineup At Wango Tango
(5/17/04) Corey Moss MTV
...Backstage, when he wasn't practicing, Hung mingled with Big
Boi and the Black Eyed Peas. "I'm in William Hung's dressing
room," JC Chasez said, before making circles with his fists
a la Hung's signature move. "She stings like a bee," JC
sang.
...(Chasez) spiced things up a bit for his opening number, donning
the top half of a band uniform for his "Drumline" hit
"Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)." He was quick to shed
that look and sound, though, filling the rest of his set with the

More details on ADIDAS controversy
(5/17/04) Follow-up correspondence from Alex G to DirtyPop.net
...These are the facts-
It doesnt make sense to make a video for ADIDAS and set up promotion
to have him play the video at Wango Tango and tell people that it
is the next single, only
to have them change their mind the day that MTV was supposed to
air it. And on top of that to have 70% percent of the radio stations
pull the song off rotation overnight.
The 3 radio DJ's that I spoke with said that the program directors
were afraid of playing the song, that they might get a fine from
FCC. They were all waiting for MTV to play the video. Once MTV played
the video, they knew that it would be cool to push ADIDAS
into primetime rotation, but when MTV said "no", radio
got scared as well, and now we are in the position that we are in
now.
...FCC has not said "You can't play it" and radio is
just afraid of getting fined. So you see, we can't blame FCC and
we can't blame radio, so in the meantime we are going to push Build
My World and then hopefully (try to push ADIDAS again in a couple
of months). So please tell people not to point fingers until we
know for sure, because that might do more harm than good...
