Micah Johnson, who was left with a significant speech impediment after a medical procedure gone wrong, shocked the judges on Wednesday’s “American Idol.”

The 24-year-old explained that his doctor hit some nerves while removing his tonsils, seriously altering his ability to speak.

But as Johnson showed in his audition, his singing voice remains as incredible as ever.
