^^ I agree with Augusto.

It's American Idol, so you can count on two things:

1. She was prodded into talking about her dad and grandma by a producer with an agenda to create drama and higher ratings.

2. The video was edited by someone whose first priority is creating drama and higher ratings, rather than presenting an accurate picture of who this girl is.

Her telling of the story was really awkward and a bit uncomfortable to watch, but it was over in a few seconds. I gave her a pass on it, because I've been watching the show a long time now, and I thought she seemed really nervous about being in front of the judges.

I thought she had a decent voice, though. She's not among my main favorites from the show so far this year, but I liked her.
