“I full-body felt what you were singing, I am a believer in you. You’re top 10,” said Perry.

Alyssa told that her parents had a divorce when she was very young and since then, it has been her father who has taken care of her and supported her singing career. 

After winning the ticket, Alyssa went straight to her father, who was visibly proud of her achievement and started jumping because of happiness.
