Asia'h Epperson

Asia'h Epperson is one of the amazing singers this year in American Idol Season 7. Her maturity and strength in the face of tragedy showed prior to the season ever really starting in a way that should be an inspiration to us all.

Two days before her audition, Asia'h called to tell her father know how much she loved him and how she wished he was with her. Tragedy struck after that phone call. Just thirty minutes later, her brother called to tell Asia'h that their father had just died in a car accident.

Her audition was simply stunning. When Simon asked her what she was going to sing, Asia'h explained that she had prepared something, however due to the death of her father, she had chosen to sing LeAnn Rimes' song, "How Do I Live."

Her voice, sometimes cracking with raw emotion, Asia'h made it through and it was amazing. Although the audition might not have been "perfect" vocally, considering what had just occurred to her in the hour prior, it was perfect.

You can tell Asia'h Epperson has a great voice. Her spirit and her determination are the true inspiration that had people watching with passion Asia'h Epperson.

The other night I was talking with a friend of mine about Asia'h Epperson. He had never heard of her before, so I thought I would tell him a little more about her.

You see, he is a pretty big guy, not the type you would think of crying about Asia'h Epperson. Why, you might ask, would he cry over her?

You see, when I started telling him about the Asia'h Epperson story and how her dad was killed in a car crash, he was really touched. I didn't know this about my friend, but his father was killed also in a car crash much like Asia'h Epperson's dad.

So, when I was telling him about how she had called her father shortly before her American Idol performance, and how her brother called her back to let Asia'h know her dad had been killed, it really touched him.

Usually people think of big guys as rough and tough. Especially my friend as he looks more biker than anything. But, it just goes to show that Asia'h Epperson and her amazing story can bring tears to big guys too!
