Blind Singer's 'Rise Up' Audition Brings Lionel Ritchie To Tears
After surgery, this young woman was declared legally blind. Despite her physical setbacks, Shayy never lost her passion for performing. Now, she’s taking her talents to the American Idol stage and it’s an emotional performance that everyone is talking about. After sharing her story, 17-year-old Shayy delivers a beautiful rendition of ‘Rise Up’ from Andra Day.
“And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again”
When Shayy reached the chorus of this inspirational song, judge Lionel Ritchie couldn’t hold back the tears. All three judges gave this courageous young woman a standing ovation and she easily earned her ticket to Hollywood. But it was the emotional impact of her performance that will truly be remembered.
Fellow judge Luke Bryan summed up the moment perfectly by saying, “You have what we cannot teach. We cannot teach letting the music flow straight from the soul, and that's what you did." What an incredible journey already and it’s only the beginner for this rising performer.
