American Idol Heartbreaking Story
 

I don't know how many of you are paying attention to American Idol this year.

My favorite part of AI is the preliminary auditions, and last night did not fail in my expectations.

I watched Chris Medina audition and was truly impressed, touched and moved to tears as he talks about his dedication his fiance' to a once vibrant young woman who was paralyzed after a car accident.

Here is his story

Yes, and I love what STeven Tyler said to his fiancee.....he kissed her on the cheek, and said "That's why he sings so good...he's singing to you".

I know Mike, that was awesome. This young man is one of a kind- made what ever I am going through look like small potatoes in comparison.

Brought me to tears and I started crying when Steven said that to her......oh my.

Re: American Idol Heartbreaking Story
 

Steve Tyler said that? THE Steve Tyler. Of Aerosmith? I saw the guy when I was about 15 or 16 years old. I didn't know he had a "tender side." Must be off the junk.

He's showing a soft side - tonight he whispered to Randy to not tell them they weren't good. I'm really enjoying to see this side of him.

I cried outloud and Keith kept asking me what was wrong- he was looking at his PC and didn't see the footage, it was overwhelming.

It's true love, but what stuck me even more was it was unconditional love!

ST is doing a great job on AI, very toned downed version than he had in the 70's.

You are so right, from such a young man too. Moves me to tears.

Renda thanks for posting the vid, it's been awhile and I forgot how.

Re: American Idol Heartbreaking Story
 

I've been watching it. I was moved to tears too Elizabeth!

How many people nowadays would stay with someone who's been thru that kind of a tragedy? My husband was moved as well. Very impressed with that young man. :thumbsup

Did you all see the guy on there from SWANTON, Ohio? That's my town! He was seriously horrible tho. Sadly.

We all grow up at some point (Steve Tyler).

His personality on the show has saved AI... maybe.
