I just really, fervently hope that she's got a good support network so that she doesn't get devoured by the Forces of Celebrity.
What I think was the coolest was how professionally she sang. Once she got going, she didn't show nervousness at all. It's what the word pwned was made for However, I think that was perhaps partly being in her own world... since she seemed surprised when the show's host told her that she'd gotten the biggest yes he'd ever given... and she had been standing right there...
I can't believe I'm gonna admit this, but her accent is so thick to me that I had a very hard time hearing her speak. I could have sworn she said she was going to sing "I dreamed a dream" from THE WIZARD OF OZ! I couldn't figure out where the Les Mis reference was coming from, lol.

Now that I've listed to it about a dozen times, I still hear the Wizard of Oz folks

She is amazing. I listen to that in the morning to pump myself up for the day. May she truely get the dreams she's dreamed and a good man to kiss
