Chris Medina taking on another Script song; Break Even. Again, one of my all-time favourite band and favourite song; kudos Chris. Now comes the controversy: Did Chris Medina exploit his fiancee on American Idol? A poll posted up on rickey.org. I answered NO. And stats as of now are YES 38.8% and NO 61.2%
Maybe I am a bit on the fence here on this one. I mean, for the past 10 years contestants tend to go for the sympathy vote. Danny Gokey is a fairly recent example when he showcased his late wife a little to much on the show. But can we blame them? They've all got their own little story and I think it's okay to talk about them on TV - but maybe not too much. I don't think Chris Medina intentionally exploited his fiancee on American Idol. In my opinion (before haters out there start pouncing on me), I find him to be a very loving and caring person as it only shows that he still loves her even though things have changed. I want a man like him. I cried when he brought his fiancee into the audition room. It was very touching.
Chris Medina’s fiancee Juliana Ramos got into an accident before they got married. She has brain damage and Chris is now her caretaker.
Steven Tyler told her: “The reason why he’s singing so good is because he’s singing to you.” That was very touching.
I was touched by this story, but at the same time, I really felt bad for Juliana.
Vote for the Worst has already declared Chris Median the biggest douchebag this show has ever seen.

In addition to why I disagree with Chris being a 'douchebag' I remember what he said during his interview: "What kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me most?" Tears ran down my eyes because sadly, most guys would, but not him. He is inspirational.
