She has the pipes. Few do. She needs a voice trainer pronto before she ruins them. She shouldn’t be singing bel canto at her stage of training; you can hear her strain, and she doesn’t have control of her vibrato. An amazing performance but kind of scary to listen to because she is so far outside her training and voice maturity level. I hope she makes it.
