LOVE HIM! One of my very very early favorites and I hope he does well. He's incredibly talented and diverse! It will be interesting to see what Iovine's mentoring does.

My favorite this season! He's not the best singer I've heard on Idol, but he's definitely one of the most creative. I loved that "Blues Brothers" act he and the other guy put together for Vegas. That was just cool. :smokin
I read, yesterday, that he has ulcerative colitis and has been transfused, yet, again. It is similar to Crohn's Disease. Flare-ups come and go.Quote:

I guarantee you that they knew about his problem when he came into this competition. You don't go to the ER, end up being transfused, and released the next day to do your thing. Transfusions are no joke.
HMMMM, if he suffers from Ulcerative colitis it is strange that he needed a blood transfusion...but it has been officially confirmed on several news site that he did receive a transfusion and many are reporting that it is UC. That said, I have a friend who suffers from Crohns and it is no joke--extremely painful and can flare up anytime.
If he does suffer from a UC or any disease (and who knows, maybe he had a bad cold) then I applaud him for not putting it on the survey at the tryouts and making it a big deal so he could have a sob story (and special montage) out of it!
Amen! That just makes me like him even more! :up
I know several (how strange is that) people who have UC. Two have such a severe case that they have had surgery at rather young ages. It can definitely result in transfusions begin needed, so that really doesn't sound that unusual to me.
Transfusions from surgeries or just in general because they have lost a lot of blood (in stools or internally...,). If thats why it is SCARY!Quote:

Not the way I'd like it to be solved though. :( At least he's gotten some exposure, and it should be a good boost to his career. I'm just hoping we get to enjoy him on this show a little longer.Quote:
