Scarred 'Idol' Contestant -- Drunk Driving Victim

He's extremely lucky to have survived it! I'd bet he still has pain walking etc. I wish him better health and good luck.

And what does any of this have to do with a singing contest? It's a shame that this lame karaoke show has to now depend more and more on sappy tear-jerking, sympathy stories to keep the "easily entertained" watching it. Pathetic!

Since tv is so great, don't watch it. You have so many other choices to pick from.

so sorry youre hurting,,now sing your little heart out,things will get better..as gaga says 'just sing'' oh, thats 'just dance'....

I love Idol this year, love the judges.... everything except these sappy teary back stories. I have to Tivo the show now, and FF through all the weeping and wailing..... I think its unfair to the contestants who don't have sob stories.

Idol is sooo played out! Instead of singing talent, now you have to have a sad story to qualify. Happy to say I stopped watching this garbage!

I just saw American Idol here in SA, this kid can sing!

@moveover:

In this case I think it's necessary to bring light to the situation. It's a learning moment. Additionally, it's hard to ignore huge scars on someone's arms while they're performing... It's human nature to want to know more about what happened. Such a negative attitude. Life is about sharing human experiences. Stop trying to force people into little boxes...

I think moveover is an ass. AI is amazing and gives chances to those who may not have otherwise had a chance.

i thank it is sad that moveover cant see life for what it is we all have a story to tell if you do not want to here it dont wacth tv i love stefano and he can sing dont hate him for god gave it to him

Can we talk here!....Stefano Langone's scars are nothing to the plastic surgery scars I have all over my body!..When I had my
penis and balls removed during my sex reassignment surgery I was left with scars on vajjayjay and buttocks
