Rion Paige may have a different way of spelling her name, but it’s probably one you should get used to. That’s because the spunky 13-year-old country singer brought the “X Factor” judges to their feet Wednesday with her rendition of a Carrie Underwood song.

Besides a solid voice and a special name, Paige is unique for another reason: She has a rare disease that has left her wrist joints deformed and she’s almost completely blind in her right eye. But you’d never know it from her attitude.

“I have arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, which is basically a whole bunch of words to describe something simple,” she said with about as much energy as an F-5 tornado.

"I don't watch any of the singing, dance or performance competitions," you write.  Then you invite us to see one you watched.

Which explains quite a bit about your sorry psyche.  Obviously, the first claim is an outright lie, or you couldn't make the SECOND claim.  LOL

I'm still blubbering.  If she wasn't enough to make me blubber, her Mom's reactions were.

Inspiring!
