She was definately "overcome" with emotion.On our local news that followed American Idol, there was a film interview with that little girl. She was on the set for the filming of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader and the show asked them if they would like to attend the American Idol show. Our news said she is 13 years old. Don't know whether she had a sibling participating in that show or whether they were just in the audience.
