ITA. She has a good voice, but her entire audition was mimicry.
Her background story is that she has the best, most supportive family ever. Then she sings a song about having an awful, neglectful father? Better to choose a different Kelly Clarkson song.
And the break in her voice? Kelly broke down because she was singing live, while pregnant, during an episode of the last season of American Idol. The extreme emotion made sense. With Caitlyn, it took me out of the performance.
If this girl wants to get far, she will need to put her own emotions into the songs she performs.
