Excellent case study on eccentricity

Very funny mockumentary. And as a New Zealander living in the same city as Wayne, I can confirm, he is 100% real. Orlando, not so much.

Wayne has Asperger's; although this could create a bit of a debate as to whether enjoyment of this content is morally acceptable, I have been told Wayne is completely aware that this is a mockumentary, and not a serious take on Wayne's "career".

I have met Wayne. He burst into song at the mere mention of his massive three and a half octave vocal range. Wayne seems to enjoy his new found fame. Does that make a laugh at Wayne acceptable? I'm not sure, but this strange character study got a few from me anyway, moral conundrums or not.

Wayne 'The Man' Anderson
fiverites15 December 2006
I've had the extreme pleasure of knowing of the 'talent' that is Wayne Anderson for some time. Now, I can't say that I've had honour of meeting the man personally, but he is quite the Celebrity in S.A.

Now, I know that a lot of people are going to put this documentary into the 'mockumentary' pile, but before you do, I think their are some facts you should know.

1)Despite what was shown on the documentary, Wayne has a great vocal range and when he is most comfortable, he sings excellently.

2) He would be considered by many to be 'eccentric', this in itself, is all part of his charm.

3) He is an expert in Music History, most notably pop from the 50's onwards.

4) What you saw of him on T.V in relation to his persona, is 100% accurate, what you see is what you get. No scripts, just 100% Wayne.

He might not crack the top 40 anytime soon, but the man has an immense amount of talent, it's just not what your used to.

Hopefully, they continue following Wanye, not necessarily for the music, but for a glimpse into the extraordinary life into a man with a passion, who's not ashamed to say anything he feels, or to wear speedos. That, in my humble opinion, is brave.

Go Wayne, you've got my vote.

this is one of the strangest .../ funniest programs I've seen in ages... I'm sitting here debating weather or not its a joke take or this guys actually for real...if its for real then OMG ....what an Idiot ....yet if its just a movie/documentary.. then big ups to the writers.. its funny to the point of , this guys an Idiot , but some of the one-liners and comments that come out are hilarious ... so if your up late and there ain't nothing else on ...then have a look at it ... I'm giving this a three because i cant make up my mind weather its real or not ... I just pray that its only a movie and this isn't the top of new Zealand's talent that we have to offer !!..ok got to go Ozzys on
