Talking about messing up!

Show host Ryan Seacrest may be feeling a slight bit embarrassed today.  The final performer of the evening was a blind young man named Scott MacIntyre, who got one of the golden tickets signifying that he will advance to Hollywood.

Congratulating Scott, Ryan then held up his hand to give the contestant a high five, forgetting that he was blind.  We feel for Ryan.   It was a very uncomfortable moment.  What was probably a 2 second span felt like an eternity from our vantage point.

Must have skipped his mind that the contestant was blind :)
