[Nfbc-info] blind Idol contestant

[Lisa Irving]

Hi All, 

 

I came across a nauseating news clip about a blind man who tried out for
American Idol. What troubles me is why this man was featured. He is
described, --you guessed it, "Amazing". I wonder if he was given a golden
ticket on the basis of talent, blindness or perhaps both. 

 

Best, 

Lisa Irving the news clip is the way the media singled out this talented
individual
