Metro/地铁报：

Well, you know how every contestant needs a sob story? This was her time to shine as she opened up about being in the same hotel as Whitney when she died.

She said: “Whitney Houston is someone I look up to. Unfortunately I was in the same hotel when she passed, and I want the Chinese audience and everyone else who is going to see it around the world to know, one how much I love Whitney Houston and two, to see how hard I push myself vocally.”

With all of this success in China, we can’t help but wonder why she hasn’t said anything about it on her social media accounts, or why she went on the competition in the first place.

The move comes after the 29-year-old admitted she wanted to get back to singing rather than mentoring others, so maybe this is the reason for it – but she is just about to release her fourth studio album R.O.S.E, so it’s not like there is a lack of singing in her life.

Honestly, the whole thing completely baffles us as much as it does you. But if the girl is happy, that’s all that matters right?
