Grace Franklin

For Grace Franklin, granddaughter to the late Queen Of Soul herself Aretha Franklin, a recent audition on the hit singing competition series 'American Idol' had some saying she deserved better by the show and others wondering why she doesn't just go find a deal off the strength of her famous last name.

Aretha Franklin’s 15-year-old granddaughter Grace Franklin joined Jennifer Hudson at the “Respect” premiere Wednesday — where they hopped on the mic and sang a duet.
