'Amazing' Label Baffles Performers

Singer Vickie Chapman said when she sings people have told her she is amazing.

However, Chapman describes herself as having a nice voice, not an extraordinary one.

Chapman, who is blind, said many times people describe performing artists with disabilities as "amazing" because they have misconceptions about people with disabilities.
