Her illness is diabetes.
I am not sure she is really “into” the whole voting contest thing. Like maybe she entered AI on a dare or something. It looked like tonight she found these horrid votes and send offs all WRONG. I think she will need a long pep talk from Simon just to stay in the competition. She looked like she wanted to just say See Ya.
I think she did say at one point that she auditioned primarily in the hope of supporting her son...she certainly doesn’t seem like she’s into the drama/glitz/cheese part of the show. That said, her body language last night spoke of something more serious than just sadness or annoyance. Whatever it is, let’s hope she gets better quickly.
