Reply #70: yes--I do the judges already knew she had a pretty good voice

maybe not as great as it was, but she had already made the cut to get on stage, so they had to know something. But I suspect she really is who she says she is.

The video on YouTube has been edited to be a "story" about this, however. It's not the original live scene, I don't think, not with their playing the Les Mis song in the b/g while she waves, cuts to the guys in the back, cuts to the audience members making ugly faces in the beginning, and so forth
