WATCH : Aretha Franklin’s granddaughter auditions for American Idol

The host and judges of season 20 of American Idol


Aretha Franklin is a hard act to follow – more so if you are her 15-year-old granddaughter appearing on the season 20 premiere of ABC's American Idol.

On Sunday, young Grace auditioned with the Fugees' "Killing Me Softly" and her late grandmother's "Ain't No Way."

Does she cut it?

Take a look right here.

The high school student is the daughter of Franklin's gospel artist son Kecalf Cunningham whose famous mom, known as the Queen of Soul, passed away in August 2018 at the age of 76.
