Lazaro Arbos, Season 12

Talk about saving the best for last. During premiere week of American Idol’s 12th season, Lazaro Arbos was the final hopeful to appear before the judges at the Chicago auditions. And it looked like producers might be preparing to show one of Idol’s embarrassing auditions when the 21-year-old Cuban-born icecream scooper from Naples, Florida opened his mouth to reveal a serious stutter. But as soon as Arbos – who has had to deal with the speech impediment since he was six years old – began singing Simon & Garfunkel's “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” we were instantly mesmerized and moved to tears. In the end, Arbos didn’t just earn a unanimous “yes” from the judges, he also cemented his place in Idol history by giving what many have dubbed “the best Idol audition ever!”
