On CNN, Tiny YouTube Star Battling Cancer Meets Her Idol | Mediaite

Video

Friday?s edition of CNN Newsroom brings us the story of Tori Svenson, a little girl who became a YouTube sensation for a song she performed in the midst of undergoing chemo treatments.

Tori had once competed in a beauty pageant as a means of raising money to help a little girl in her town who was battling cancer. But the day Tori brought over the money she?d raised, she discovered she had a brain tumor. One day, while at the hospital, Tori decided to lift her spirits, performing ?I?ll Be The Angel By Your Side,? a song by her favorite Christian singer, Francesca Battistelli.

Today, Tori was able to meet Francesca and tell her, face-to-face, exactly how much the singer?s work means to her.

?This is what it?s all about, right here,? Francesca replied, looking at Tori. ?So I am the blessed one, by you. Absolutely.?
