You can tell by her breathing - she breathes in the wrong places. She can't hold a line; she doesn't have the physical strength for this repertoire because of her age. I hope she gets some professional instruction because she'll ruin a potentially very good voice if she doesn't.

Surely, they are out there watching "the next thing" and see the opportunity to steer her.

Regardless of the genre, she's a pure gem.
