In reality, she could have been one of the top 10 singers to audition this year anywhere and it just isn't what they are looking for. Personality, Looks, Charisma, and raw/unique talent is probably close to the winning combo to get on the show in the end. Everything else they see as a "been there, done that" attitude. And to keep the show going, that's what they need to do. the first seaosn and the last 2 seasons are the ones I enjoyed because of the individual on the show, and not so much the singing at time. Chris Daughtry never had the great overall voice they to get him on the show, but they said everything about him just stood out and his songs matched his abilities and gave the show a different rocker theme that they haven't had before.

Perosonally it sounds like your sis will do just fine in the long run and already has some good success.
