[Ads-l] choke up =? emotional

[Mark Mandel]

She's not dispassionately writing a paper. She is overwhelmed by emotion,
and maybe "emotional" is all the description she could manage at the time.
Ask her later and you might get a very different and more descriptive and
conventional answer.

And man, that performance is stunning! If you didn't listen to it, play the
video from the beginning, or from 1:15 when she comes on stage before the
judges, or from 2:00 when she starts singing.
