Emmanuel Kelly - Iraqi Boy Born With Birth Defects X-Factor Audition

Two little Iraqi boys were born with birth defects in the midst of the war, and then thrown away in a shoe box. They are found somehow and an Australian woman goes to Iraq, and adopts them, and brings them home.

Now, about 17-years later, the older boy, Emmanuel, lives his dream by singing "Imagine" on the X-Factor audition. Talk about staring adversity in the face and climbing above!
