Scott MacIntyre, the visually impaired singer from Arizona, received enough votes to become a member of the top 12 "American Idol" contestants. It's a wonderful opportunity for millions of Americans to watch an accomplished blind person on the top-rated show.In interesting choreography on the March 4 show, MacIntyre participated in a song and dance number with the other contestants, with the male contestants performing sitting down. To those who understand how a dance number with a blind person might be difficult to choreograph, it is wonderful to see a creative solution that, I think, made for something unique, rather than the same old dance routine for the 12 contestants. I am referring to it as "accessible choreography."
And there's going to have to be more of this accessible choreography as Scott MacIntyre performs with the others at the semi-finals. MacIntyre, who is an accomplished pianist, will reportedly have the chance to perform at the piano. That should gain him even more votes because he is so comfortable and talented at the piano.
