Is it possible for the granddaughter of a country music legend to win ‘American Idol’?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The latest season of “American Idol” has been filled with emotional moments, but none have been as powerful as 24-year-old contestant Emmy Russell’s rendition of her late grandmother Loretta Lynn’s hit song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Russell, the granddaughter of the country music legend, has been winning over fans and judges alike with her heartfelt performances and raw emotion on stage. Last week, her performance of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” brought the audience to tears and marked a major turning point in her journey on the show.

In a tear-filled video shared on Facebook, Russell opened up about the impact her grandmother’s death had on her and how singing the iconic song on “American Idol” brought her a sense of closure.

“I just saw a vision of me being up in Heaven,” Russell said. “I feel like I just saw God bring my grandma and me just really give her a deep hug, of like I miss you and I love you, and I feel like you get it now.”

Despite her emotional journey and powerful performances, Russell will need to deliver another strong showing to secure her spot in the competition as the show looks to narrow down the contestants from seven to five.

Fans of country music and “American Idol” will be eagerly watching to see if Russell, with her undeniable talent and heartfelt connection to her grandmother, can make it to the next round and potentially become the next “American Idol.”
