Blind Singer-Pianist Wins Golden Buzzer On Australia’s Got Talent

After Kodi Lee showed the world that blindness is not a barrier for realizing your dreams, another 22-year-old blind singer-pianist Paul Kapeleris is going with guns blazing on a similar talent show.

Kapeleris earned the golden buzzer with a mind blowing performance of ‘Rise Up’ on Australia’s Got Talent. He has a rare eye disorder called Leber congenital amaurosis, which means that he has only five percent vision and is also partially deaf.

He did not allow any of his disabilities to come between his performance on Australia’s Got Talent. He took to the stage led by his mother, and stirred up everyone’s hearts with ‘Rise Up.’

You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

The judges were awed by his big voice and judge Lucy Durack gave him the golden buzzer. It was a very emotional moment when his mother ran onto the stage after he won the Golden buzzer, as Kapleris had still not realized the magnitude of the moment. Our best wishes with Kapeleris and may he go all the way in Australia’s Got Talent.

Verse of the Day

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
