HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — "Juliana Ramos car accident" has become a popular Google trend after her fiancé appeared on American Idol.
It was a tissue moment Wednesday night when Idol contestant Chris Medina shared a heartbreaking story about Ramos during his Milwaukee audition. The 26-year-old singer spoke about getting engaged to Ramos, his girlfriend of six years. But two months before they were set to marry, she was involved in a car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury.
"I was about to make vows just two months from the accident – through thick and thin, 'til death do us part, for better or worse," he said through tears. "What kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me the most?"
Medina moved everyone even more when he performed "Breakeven" by The Script," an audition that earned him a golden ticket to Hollywood. In fact, after the tragic tale, the judges asked to meet Medina's fiancée.
"I just heard your fiancé sing," Steven Tyler told Juliana. "He sings to you all the time. I could tell. That's why he sings so good because he sings to you."
