Grace Franklin – the granddaughter of the late Aretha Franklin – is ready for her time to shine.
More details below…
Appearing on Sunday’s episode of ‘American Idol,’ Grace – who is 15 – performed the Lauryn Hill version of ‘Killing Me Softly,’ as well as her late grandmother’s song ‘Ain’t No Way.’
During her audition, Lionel Richie shared a fond memory of the late soul singer, saying:
“I don’t think I could fully grasp the fact that she was famous worldwide.”
While Grace did not make it through – she received two no’s from Richie and Luke Bryan – Richie did encourage her to come back after she had gotten over some of her shyness.
