“To be honest, it’s a bit of a sad story," Barry said when asked why he was auditioning. “It’s quite difficult for me to talk about it. I thought I'd never sing again.”

Contestant Shares His Inspirational Short Story

One morning when Barry Darcy woke up, he just fell flat down onto the floor as he got out of bed. His legs wouldn't work.

It turns out, Barry suffered a herniated disc in his back, which has crushed the main nerve controlling his legs. Suddenly, Barry found himself paralyzed from the waist down. And his doctors didn't know if anything could be done about it.

"They gave me a fifty-fifty chance of ever walking again," Barry explained, "and I took it.”

Barry's journey wasn't easy. But God blessed him with a family devoted to supporting him.

"My wife, she took everything on her shoulders while I was getting better,” Barry said.

With his loving wife and children by his side, Barry miraculously overcame his paralysis. And he wasn't going to let anything stop him from singing again!

You love me like you do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you”

Barry’s incredible voice and inspirational story easily had just about everyone in tears. And he completely wowed the judges.
