Country music sensation Jelly Roll found himself in a tough spot when he was asked to judge Loretta Lynn's granddaughter, Emmy Russell, on "American Idol." As a guest judge, Jelly Roll was both excited and nervous. “How am I supposed to judge LORETTA LYNN’S GRANDDAUGHTER!?!,” he tweeted, expressing his disbelief and the pressure he felt stepping into such significant shoes.
During rehearsals, Jelly Roll and Emmy bonded over their shared nerves and high expectations. Emmy chose to perform "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone, a song that resonated deeply with her. "I sometimes think the beautiful things in my life are going to disappear in a second," she confessed. Jelly Roll, understanding her anxiety, offered heartfelt advice: “You have a whole different reason you’re here.

Emmy’s performance was nothing short of breathtaking. She rearranged the song to better suit her vocal style, a move that paid off as she captivated the judges and the audience alike.
