"A little boy who is delighting fans at sporting events is also an inspiration for everyone. From Christian contemporary to pop rock, 9-year-old Christopher Duffley can sing it all, right there with the best of them, with purity and passion. If you closed your eyes and just listened to his voice you`d never guess he`s both blind and autistic. He sang the national anthem at a hockey tournament this past weekend. The video was posted on YouTube and currently has over 300 hits." http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/blind-boy-inspires-crowds-with-singing-20110316YouTube is the perfect platform for vain individuals to share their abysmal lack of talent with the whole world. In the Dark Ages (before the Internet) a lousy singer could only disturb his family as he crooned in the shower, but now he can post a video on YouTube and and torment multitudes. Witness Rebecca Black, the 16-year-old singer, who has garnered 30 million hits with her robotic rendition of "Friday". To be honest Rebecca isn`t a bad singer, the poor girl was auto-tuned to death on her infamous video. Christopher Duffley isn`t the typical YouTube sensation; you won`t watch his videos in ironic appreciation of his lack of talent. The young boy is a gifted performer, and he doesn`t need to be auto-tuned to correct pitch. Christopher is an inspiration and an example that human beings can overcome any disability or obstacle. Christopher excels in every genre, he can even make Train`s abominable "Hey, Soul Sister" sound halfway decent. Enjoy watching Christopher sing the national anthem: http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/blind-boy-inspires-crowds-with-singing-20110316
