Nineteen-year-old Jim Verraros revealed during his audition that he had two deaf parents who would never be able to hear his voice. Jim sang and signed his audition song, ''When I Fall in Love'' to a sympathetic judges panel, who sent him on to Hollywood. Simon called Jim's performance ''fabulous.'' It wasn't really, but who could turn down a kid who was so devoted to his parents? He made it into the top 10, but his middling vocals caught up with him. He was eliminated during the first week of the finals. 2 tears
