Deaf Singer Hopeful About American Idol Chances
Left: Hot with hearing loss
(Chicago, IL) Jeremy Jeeter has been deaf since birth, and has absolutely no hearing in either ear.
This challenge, however, will not deter the 21-year-old from his dream: to become the next American Idol.
"Ah buweeve ah ken sin bettuh den dem udders," he said. "Ah wull nebbeh leh mah disabiddy sluh me don."
Jeeter said that he believes his signature singing style will set him apart from the other Idol hopefuls.
"Awwww bah mah seff, don wanna be, awww bah mah seff, ennymo," he crooned. "Dih you lahk dat? Mah guh fren seh she thin ahm gonna win it aw."
Not everyone is supportive of his dream, said Jeeter. One family member in particular thinks he should give up the dream.
"Mah muddah seh ahm gonna mek a foo uh mah seff," he mused. "Buh she ken kih mah ess, tupih bih."
