A NEW AMERICAN IDOL?

Scott MacIntyre is one of the final 36 contestants on American Idol. We never (hardly ever) watch this show but we watched it last night because we are so excited that this young man is competing. He is a member of our church and we have enjoyed him and his family leading our worship occasionally. He is terrific when he plays the piano and sings too. The remarkable thing about it is that he's legally blind. 

Here's some info about him I downloaded from the internet. It's impressive, but the best thing about him is that he is a committed Christian and if he wins will have a wonderful testimony. We voted for him last night - first time we have ever voted for a contestant on this show I hope you will want to support him as well.

Scott MacIntyre is in the top 36 contestants on FOX's "American Idol 8." Scott MacIntyre auditioned in Phoenix, Arizona. Scott MacIntyre sang "And So It Goes" by Billy Joel for his audition. All four judges voted yes to send Scott MacIntyre to Hollywood.
