21、Chris Medina was an outstanding star on a Monday night’s audition of American Idol (美国偶像,美国真人秀电视节目). He made the Americans moved for more than just his singing. Chris performed the famous band The Script’s song “Breakeven” and he brought along his beloved fiancée(未婚妻), Juliana Ramos, who is limited to a wheelchair following a terrible car accident. There is a very touching emotional story behind them.
Chris, an amazing singer, said he fell in love with Juliana the first moment he saw her and they became engaged soon afterwards. They had planned to get married two years after getting engaged.
