I've watched it about 5 times throughout the night. It is simply mind boggling that she has this incredible voice. As per some others, I agree, she blows Elaine Page out of the water.
I read that she stopped singing in church to care for her mother. She didn't rehearse for that audition and that was the FIRST TIME she has sung in over two years. To still have that range without practice is EXTREMELY rare.
To echo Vulcan, she is in the middle of getting a contract with Cowell's "Syko Music" label under Sony. She deserves everything she gets.
Now. TwentyFo, come on. Shelve the crap in a thread like this, please. You wanna be the devil's advocate? Do it in another thread. This woman has brought a rare thread in this Forum that doesn't have a "pissing match" going on. Leave this one be.
