Will she mix up some hip-hop beats Will she command an orchestra of dozens, bringing the classics to life Or, will she go electric, Jimi Hendrix style Marching out on the talent show stage to the beat of her own drum, this sweet and sassy musician ultimately chooses to be herself and sing her own song loud and proud, "I've got a rock 'n' roll soul!"
