I, too , was instantly impressed, no, floored, after viewing her first appearance on BGT. I then followed the 'ordeal' that followed, rooting for her to find that inner strength and 'face the music'. She did. Having lost the contest she won the game, and her career is only now beginning. I, too, will put her in the league with Ella and her peers. She certainly has the talent. Her vocal control is like nothing I have ever heard. It shows years of singing, practicing. And the look in her eye, the facial expressions as she sings, reaveal an enormous amount of passion, and inner strength that she quietly covers when she isn't singing. I don't for a moment think she is quaint or frivolous, just a product of her environment to date. And her drive to succeed, after all the care she gave her mother who wanted her to succeed, to me is very apparent. I hope those who are forming her musical future are paving her path wisely, so that she can become another legend this world sorely needs.
I wish her all the best.
