How are you when you listen and see Ali performing there on live television?
You must be so proud absolutely amazing unbelievable, but I didn't even think she could sing before
Yeah for an hour.
I didn't know before no I can every time she sings now she gives me goosebumps
Yeah, she really moves me actually and lots of people have said it and even when she's out busking
I see women crying all the time.
So there's some emotion in her voice that and is it that bad?
You seem to enjoy it I get to see a man crib with the women cry
Oh, I was close to tears there very good very moving
So you manage obviously the signing of the contract and all that on yeah, yeah, and you also manage the social media side
Yeah, well, I don't allow her on it because well
I see a lot of negative things not too much negative actually never on Facebook or it's YouTube
You see some negative comments
Some glad she doesn't see that because you know
There's thousands of good comments, and then just that bad one can can catch you
It's caught me so I'm glad I she's not allowed on them.
She's she has snapchat.
That's it
Yeah _
_ Your home school.
Yeah, so yeah, I had to take her out of school a year ago
She was bullied in school a lot
So I took her out and I didn't want to take her out because I just didn't want to do that
But I had to and it's the best thing we've ever done.
It's amazing.
Oh
