One of the most meaningful and beautiful videos I've ever seen and he actually had a great voice. He didn't need to win the show to make an impression.
yes who would dislike this...? people have no compassiob, thats what should be taught at school! How to have compassion.. cause they obviously dont know how..sad.
Everyman should should achieve to make their woman as happy as this guy attempted to make his. The world would be a better, more loving place. Likewise, every woman should do the same for their man :-)
@thekaylaadawnn Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
It would of been nice if they told him that they would of sent him through if it wasn't for age. I remember this and my mom had tears and my parents and I said he had a really talented and unique voice for his age
This was so sweet. Could only hope to be loved this much. To the creeps who have something negative to say are just trolls and your soul needs a lot of help.
@syella09 they just dislike it to be different, and to be dicks, its called trolling, it can be nasty comments, wrongfull dislikes, flagging videos as spam when theyre not, its just a way for sad people with no lives to get a little jab back at the normals
notice too VIONA164 simon is not heartless listen to his comments back to the gentleman , plus simon was the 1st too shake is hand..SIMON your a gent and a big softie at heart ive always admired you ..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hi people peace be with all of us im muhammad and im mulim and i call every people to read about islam as i think islam is the right religion plz read
@LordPipweed You are a retard. He got there to sing for his wife. And he didn't use her passing you stupid dumb fuck. And he didn't expect to win. Note that he knew the age limit. Enough with this stupid bullshit, you want to be a troll? Dick a hole in the ground and bury yourself in there.... Dumb asss
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if he didnt want sympathy then who gives a fuck if his wife is dying right? Its kinda like entering an exam and saying I WAS SICK BUT PLEASE DO NOT BE LENIENT, I WAS SICK THOUGH.
@shegwin That's cold. He's doing it for his wife. Not sympathy. He loved her, It's something he wanted to do and she supported him until her dying day.
@LeDerpaHerp no, thats not doing it for his wife, you telling me entering a contest audition is doing it for your 'wife?'. He just thought tid be cool to tryout and have this backstory with him but in all honesty why? Sharing his wifes story, yeah thats cool and all but theres a million other stories that are probably more gut wrenching and you dont see them entering a famous singing contest audition and then revealing the backstory which really has nothing to do with the contest at all.
If you can watch this video without shedding a tear, then I advise you to check your pulse and see if your still alive. I remember this episode like it was yesterday, I remember sitting there and crying as if it was my aunt that past away. This was a very touching episode. ~Even for a tough guy like me~
@Monkayskillz wow really? let me dumb it down for u retard. His wife had cancer, he was getting signatures to get on the show so he could sing to her (she would've loved to see it and it would've lifted her spirit) She died before he could audition, he sang to his wife anyway....holy shit
I have no idea how he could do this but I consider him a great. Voice is good, not fantastic but the man is real. I can identify, the lady who I met in June early 1966, became my wife on August 6, 1967 passed from my side June 3, 2007....
god love him. and god bless his wife. that is true love and a true man. my grandma just died of cancer too so i know how hard it is because she was about all i had.. poor thing. </3
This gave me goosebumps... So, so, so very sweet. I loved this... Love is a powerful thing. God bless, man. I hope that one day, when I grow older and find the love of my life, I can express myself this way.. =*)
