Kayden Stephenson

"American Idol" made the final stop on its nationwide search for talent in Oklahoma City, the old stomping grounds of one of its most successful artists, Carrie Underwood.

One of the final contestants shown on this episode was 16-year-old Kayden Stephenson.

Kayden was born with cystic fibrosis, a terminal illness. His estimated life expectancy is only 35. With that in mind, he wants to do as much as he can while he's young and has the chance. He decided to follow his dream and audition for "Idol."

Kayden sung one of my personal favorites, Stevie Wonder's "I Wish," and was pretty darn good. The judges fell in love with him and sent him through to the next round. I think he will be one to watch for in Hollywood week!

But, beyond that, Kayden is an inspiration to everyone. We all take life for granted everyday. He has taught me to value my life even more because it is so precious.

Take a look at his amazing story.
