Lazaro Arbos
- Banda sonora
Born in Cuba but residing in Naples, Florida, Lazaro Arbos auditioned
for
American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (2002)'s
12th season, which premiered Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013 in Chicago, as
contestant #18383. Rooted on by his parents, Gizela Andraca and
Reinaldo Arbos, Lazaro wowed the judges with his amazing voice. Singing
"Bridge Over Troubled Water", Lazaro easily made it to the next level.
Arbos has not gotten there easily, however. His severe speech
impediment is a huge obstacle to everyday communication with his
friends and family. "Stuttering is really hard. It's like a
rollercoaster". Arbos said speaking to the judges before he sung his
inspiring song. Lazaro, a 21-year-old ice cream scooper, graduated from
Gulf Coast High School in Naples, Florida in 2009. If you want to visit
Lazaros and watch him sing live, you can visit Legacy Church of Naples,
Florida, where he is a member of the singing group.
