This guy was on Australia's x factor last night.

He had tongue cancer, half his tongue removed, and something else removed. Told he would never sing, hardly talk. And he did really well. I nearly had a tear seeing his emotions at the end well worth watching.

Watch it if you want, he has a good voice but an obvious speech impediment. But power to him, truly moving showing his determination to overcome his problems.

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    Me too. I don't cry, or even come close to crying when you hear hard luck stories. I certainly feel for them. But this bloke, I could seriously feel a tear building up. I better eat some cement and harden the fuck up
