and her dad George was there and shed a few tears...
It's on you tube.
I just thought there was an intent by the show to denounce trump as the contestant before her was named Keith trump and he got booted quickly and the name trumper was used

I find her voice very ordinary among teen performers. I'm with judge Luke Bryan on this one (who voted "no" ). I rather believe Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchey--both very outspoken Dem/Progressives-- voted "yes" partially to deflect accusations of "bias." Off topic, but damn, someone should tell her to ditch the blue undertone reddish lipstick. It truly makes her teeth look very dark.

That said, I don't watch the show, so that clip is all I will likely see.

I haven’t watched American Idol in years, but I remember it being about giving people a chance. Does she deserve to get a chance, I don’t know. She seems to have talent that needs good mentoring.

just about anything--for a while--if enough $$ and hype is applied. Somehow, I don't see that there will be much return on investment beyond a few more "eyes" to Idol, Richie's mentoring offer, notwithstanding.

That said, I'm glad she's living her dream. I certainly don't hold the daughter responsible for the actions or politics of the parents.

I'm going to look for Claudia Conway. I hope she does well.

Funny, Nixon doesn't have the same stigma attached to it.
