Scripted or not, it worked for me...

For the better part of the discussion we had in class over American Idol and how scripted it was, how the "prize" was just for money and fame, that the contestants were all pre-planned and acted, I felt I had to share this video I stumbled upon.
It was touching, Duh!
It was heart-melting, Absolutely.
It was scripted, Possibly.
BUT who cares? It worked for me, at least for this guy, it showcased, be it true or not, that mankind still has a Bijou like this fella.
Amazing story of strength, conviction and love.
Who cares if it's scripted? It worked in the getting millions to understand that American Idol not only being the best in what it does, can also bring out the best in people, and it need not be singing/or looking good.

For better or worse, Chris Medina in American Idol made me understand that such a person do exist in this world. I won't be a prick by denying that there maybe the slightest chance that this is totally phony, but for what it's worth, it proved to me that we still have the capacity to do good.

I lost faith in American Idol after Chris Daughtry lost in season 5, but this guy right here, might be that little spark for me to start stalking American Idol once more (that is if my overwhelming schoolwork don't get to me first!).
