Some of you may be familiar with the dulcet tones of William James Adams, the name given at birth to perhaps one of the worst people born on this planet since Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, or Rachael Ray.
The thing about ol’ Will, though, is that will.i.am has never met an idea he didn’t like and immediately say “How much?”
8. He seems to think he is famous in England.
Earlier in the year Will.i.am gatecrashed nearly every single Olympics event possible. This wouldn’t have been a big deal, yet the Olympics were in England this year, and Will.i.am was born and raised in Los Angeles. Instead of letting a British athlete or celebrity carry the torch he decided to do it himself in the sleepy town of Taunton. He spent the entire time texting.
His only UK gig is being a judge on England’s version of singing/talent show ‘The Voice’ – although this has been considered a £22m flop, with ratings sagging hugely.
Dude would show up to the opening of a letter if he was invited.
7. Will.i.am cannot dress himself.
The overriding problem with Will.i.am is that he seems to think that style is something that can be bought, not learned. Take a look at this picture from Sunday’s AMA awards.
and now take a look at this still from Kanye West’s video for “Mercy”
Will is cribbing huge off of Kanye’s style, which brings me to my next point.
6. Will.i.am has no original ideas.
In late 2007 Will remixed his song “I Got It From My Momma” with Daft Punk’s “Around The World”. According to multiple sources, Will was so certain that Daft Punk would sign off on his song and take the money he went so far as to make an entire video for the remix. Take a look below:
The thing is, Daft Punk had already collaborated with Kanye West earlier in the year on the (far better) “Stronger”. And Daft Punk had actually OK’d it. What kind of person knowingly takes from another artist and just assumes that they’ll be OK with that if they just shovel money at them?
5. The Black Eyed Peas are terrible.
Their 2011 Super Bowl halftime show was an abortion for eyes and ears. Or, an eareyebortion.
4. The Black Eyed Peas used to NOT be completely terrible.
Sure, it’s heavily inspired by J-Dilla and A Tribe Called Quest, but at least it didn’t sound like the sound of a sexually ambiguous computer trying to eat itself.
3. His name is William, he insists to be called ‘will.i.am’
He also has a helicopter he calls the ‘hip.hop.ter‘
2. Cartoon version of himself somehow more realistic than the actual will.i.am
1. His new song “Scream and Shout” with Britney Spears.
It isn’t that the song is bad, so to speak, it’s that he’s released so many bad songs before it that when he actually releases something worthwhile (make no mistake, this song isn’t bad) you’re conditioned to hate it. I’m sorry, William. The worst thing is that ‘Scream & Shout’ is a good song, albeit in a what-would-happen-if-a-child-made-an-acid-house-track way. But after a decade of cheese, the fact that will.i.am actually released a halfway-decent song shouldn’t be making headlines. He should have been doing that all along. You can’t serve 51 courses of sad-ass wilted Big Macs and then give us a lobster roll. There isn’t any room left for it.
Watch. This song will probably sell a bajillion copies on iTunes, and William will probably get to ride around in a helicopter powered by the last breath of Steve Jobs or whatever, but will.i.am is a soulless entity and, in my opinion, the worst musician of our time.
Sorry, man.
Cool song, though.
[Sigh]

I personally know William Adams Jr. (named after his father who he had no relationship with) and for all the things that you shared of what you don't like about him, their are 20 for every 1 reasons why Will has done more in his short career to help others and use his voice to drive so many worthwhile initiatives.
If you look at folks like Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Chris Brown, Sean Combs, Eminem and countless others who are on the same level of visibility because of their success in music, Will is the ONLY one in a long long list who has delivered on the responsibility that comes with the fame and fortune.
I have personally witnessed Will bring a room full of bankers, technology visionaries, construction experts and government officials and lead the group to approving a 25 million dollar investment to help kids and especially girls follow in a career in engineering. The proof can be seen in the town he grew up in called Boil Heights where the new center is being built. He did not have to do that… he sees the need and did what was needed to make it happen.
All of us should be inspired by what Will is doing and if you don't like his music, support him anyway because their is a direct line between his success and helping people who really need the help to have a chance at success in their lifetime.
Just take a look at I AM HOME – http://iamhome.dipdive.com/#/~/videoplayer/0/5834/130456/~.
Or I AM SCHOLORSHIP – http://iamscholarship.dipdive.com/.
Both of these initiatives included Will directly writing checks from his own pocket. I saw it happen with my own eyes.
I don't like all the music he does but I appreciate how responsible he has been and for that reason, he deserves our support, our encouragement and our appreciation.
I hope that you will have the courage to read this and share it with your community and inspire the support of all actors, athletes, musicians, artists and executives who, like Will, has chosen to make a difference and not just be a photo opp on a beach in France…
Happy Holidays!

The end does not justify the means. Not that donating a small percentage of his total worth to a cause or charity is capable of justifying his negative influence in society by contributing to the creation of brain-dead morons in our general youth or anything else for that matter.
He's as exceptional as a local butcher who sponsors a children's football team. He has no genuine talent or useful insight. I wish he had never made it as I feel my world would be better off without his influence.

EVERYBODY was having a blast and they did U2 proud as not just any band can get a crowd going like they did and the venue was at the Rose Bowl…huge crowd and nobody was in their seat. So, the superbowl should not have anything to do with their reputation as being performers as some of the best artists in the world have did poorly at the Superbowl for whatever reason. Stop hating and enjoy some music…whether it be William as you so want to put it or whatever turns you on! PEACE!

December 01, 2012 at 1:13 pm, TJ Wright said:
So many things wrong with this article, I don't know where to begin. Well I'll start from the top:
8. "He seems to think he is famous in England." – Well I'm not sure what the authors definition of 'famous' but most people would at least agree that Will.I.Am IS famous in England, you make it sound like he's the only person who thinks he is.
"He spent the entire time texting." – Tweeting, but I'll let that minor mistake pass.
"His only UK gig is being a judge on England’s version of singing/talent show ‘The Voice’ – although this has been considered a £22m flop, with ratings sagging hugely." – What on earth are you basing these claims on? The Voice beat Britain's Got Talent several weeks in the ratings war and forced ITV to move BGT's time slot. A second series has been confirmed. I can't get my head round how you would consider this a 'flop'.
7. "Will is cribbing huge off of Kanye’s style." – Cribbing off Kanye's style. What a prick you are. This is the point where it becomes clear this entire article is just one man disliking an artist. I very much get the impression with you that Kanye could fart in a microphone and you'd think it's awesome.
6. "The thing is, Daft Punk had already collaborated with Kanye West earlier in the year on the (far better) “Stronger”." – Ask any Daft Punk fan and they'll tell you that Kanye's 'Stronger' was shocking. But here's the thing…you titled this point "Will has no original ideas" and then backed up your claim with "Kanye sampled Daft Punk first". Where's Kanye's originality then? Again, moronic logic.
5. "The Black Eyed Peas are terrible." – I'm not exactly a 'fan' of The BEPs, but again you comes across as a man who has some issue with Will. Is this supposed to be journalism? It's the kind of shit you should keep to your own Facebook page.
4. "The Black Eyed Peas used to NOT be completely terrible." – Joints & Jams is a great track. You're going to use "inspired by ATCQ" as a negative? Please!
3. "His name is William, he insists to be called ‘will.i.am’" – Elton John's name is Reginald yet people call him Elton. Calvin Harris' name is Adam, yet people call him Calvin. Puff Daddy, Snoop, Jackie Chan…I could go on all night here. It's a stagename for marketing, I'm astonished you fail to grasp this concept.
2. What?
1. "His new song “Scream and Shout” with Britney Spears." – Granted, it's not great at all. In fact I very much dislike it. But how does this make Will.I.Am "the worst musician of our time"? Are you aware that the song is composed and produced by Lazy Jay, not Will? Probably not as I doubt you can back up any of your claims with facts.
I'm not even a Will.I.Am fan but, having read this terribly written article, felt the need to chip in. I can safely say that Ned Hepburn is THE worst "journalist" (and I use the term reluctantly there) I have ever come across. Daily Mail articles are better thought through than this.

Ned, if you have a degree in Journalism, you're the worst journalist ever.
Your comparisons are desperate and childish. Hitler? Are you back in high school trying to win a debate you lost when you opened your mouth?
I doubt that anyone (not even himself) would be able to just 'waltz in' and grab the Olympics torch without an invitation. If he got an invitation, he must have a name that's remembered by the British people.
One picture out of context can be read in so many ways… and cell phones are like new appendages of the human race – almost everybody have one, uses one.
As for the Super Bowl half-time appearance – it was an amazingly well produced and performed show – it doesn't matter if you like their music or not. They were able to catch everybody's attention from beginning to end (I must have to say that, even though she tried to sound like Axl Rose when she sang 'Sweet Child o'Mine', Axl has better legs than she does).
The name Will.I.Am – he is a star (LIKE IT OR NOT) and it's a stage name. You, on the other hand, is Ned. Period.
p.s.: I am not a fan of Black Eyed Peas, but by all the appearances that I witnessed (he is all over the place and it must be killing you inside) of Will.I.Am, he seems to be a very sweet, generous and soulful man.
You should direct your efforts at writing to the things or persons you actually know something about instead of just hate for no reason.

This is far and away better. Way less auto-tuning.

He may be a nice guy and all but the point of this is, he sucks and we don't want to see or hear crap from him anymore.
