Grace Franklin might be a teenager but she is definitely not in with a ‘Chain of Fools’.

The granddaughter of The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, 15 year old, Grace Franklin appeared to audition for American Idol performing Lauryn Hill’s version of “Killing Me Softly,” as well as her famous grandmother that she was close too, Aretha Franklin’s smash hit “Ain’t No Way.” When ‘Idol’ judge Katy Perry gave Grace Franklin her vote to move on to the next level however it was Luke Bryan and shockingly Lionel Ritchie that did a remix to the Aretha Franklin song and told Grace Franklin ‘Ain’t No Way’ she needs to go back to the drawing board then maybe try it again.  Katy Perry walked off set angry about the decision and soon after the social media great debate started.
