You won’t see any videos of Paris Tassin singing on Youtube, she’s far too busy caring for her 4 year old special needs daughter, Keira. At 18 years of age, Paris was faced with an unplanned pregnancy and as if the pressure wasn’t enough, she found out that her baby had a serious heart condition. Against doctors recommendations, she decided to keep her baby, a baby that she now claims is “the best thing that ever happened to me.”She held back tears as she delivered a memorable rendition of Carrie Underwood’s “Temporary Home” that had the judges in tears as well. It wasn’t just her earnest performance, it was a perfect choice of song for her that really hit home. We’re rooting for you Paris and for your daughter too. Watch and listen to “Temporary Home”
