Chris Medina is American Idol's New Sweetheart
It is nice to know that true love can conquer all. America had a glimpse of what committed love looks like last night when it was introduced to the disabled fiancee of one of the contestants.
Some critics says that the TV show used tragedy to raise ratings but millions of romantics at heart choose to cheer and be inspired.
Singer Chris Medina left not a dry eye in the house when he auditioned for American Idol. After singing, judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson prompted him to share about his love life. He told the heartbreaking tale of almost losing his beloved, Juliana Ramos, in a terrible car accident two months before their wedding.
She survived with servere traumatic brain injury and Medina hopes to get onto American Idol, in part, to give her something to be happy about again, he said. He and the mother of his bride-to-be are her full time caregivers.
He said he was two months a way from pledging to love her through "thick and thin, sickness and health." And added, "What kind of man would I be if I left her when she needed me most."
The video is pretty heart-wrenching. Check out Steven Tyler. He sounded pretty authentically open-hearted in his statements to Juliana.
"I just heard your fiance sing, and he's so good. You know, because he sings to you all the time. I could tell," he said, then whispered, "That's why he sings so good, because he sings to you."
