family affair

9:02 Montage. A bunch of people have family support. Aww. I suddenly feel really unloved. Thanks a lot, Seacrest.

9:03 We meet Angela. She got pregnant during her senior year of high school and now her daughter has something similar to cerebral palsy. And it all happened overnight. OK, I'm officially depressed now. But not too sad to laugh at her relative named Latrina. Hahaha. She has a huge family.

Back to being sad. What happened to destroying people's dreams and stuff? If I wanted this stuff, I'd watch "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

She's approaching the judges. Simon says she's cute. Apparently she has her own band that sings at weddings in Chicago. She better get the OK.

Here she goes. She sings "Signed, Sealed and Delivered." It's good, except for the little laugh thing she keeps doing between verses. Annoying, even if her kid is sick.

She gets the yes from all three judges.

Her family is happy enough to trample Ryan Seacrest with a group hug. There are way too many women involved for him to enjoy it.

In the end, Simon says it's amazing that people in this country are genuinely happy when things go well for people in their families.

Strangely, everyone in Angela's family has their pro-Angela shirts turned inside out on their way out. Looks like they don't care about her that much after all.
