WASHINGTON – Sen.-elect Scott Brown says he'd like daughter Ayla to have another crack at "American Idol," where judge Simon Cowell once described her performance as robotic and empty. The fledgling recording artist, a 21-year-old student at Boston College, made it to the show's final 16 singers in 2006. Her father told ABC's "This Week" that Ayla was so new to it all back then that she had never put on makeup until she did "American Idol."

Scott Brown’s daughter made it to the top 16 of American Idol Season 5. She has a budding music career and has just released a new 5 song EP.

This is the second live video from the new album "Ayla Brown Live!" available now on iTunes. Ayla Brown toured in the summer of 2009 with The James Montgomery Blues Band & The Uptown Horns. This is Ayla's take on the Aretha Franklin classic.

Stepping out of her comfort zone, Wrentham’s Ayla Brown last night chose a current top 40 song for her third week of competition on Fox TV’s popular star search, "American Idol." The 17-year-old daughter of state Sen. Scott Brown, R-Wrentham, and WCVB-TV news reporter Gail Huff selected the latest release of singer Natasha Bedingfield, "Unwritten." In doing so, she admitted, following her performance, she was taking a risk. "It was a risk, but I think I needed to take the risk because I, first of all, never performed like this before," she said. "I’m only comfortable usually with ballads." Two...
