Emma Kleinberg is “going to Hollywood.”

The 2015 John Carroll School graduate, who grew up in Bel Air, sang “American Privilege” by Allen Stone for her “American Idol” audition that aired Monday night on ABC.

Kleinberg’s parents, Allen and Kim, watched from their Bel Air home as their daughter belted out the song before judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.

“I gotta be honest, she’s probably one of the best ones we’ve heard today,” Perry told Kleinberg after she was finished.

Kleinberg is one of about 200 from the tens of thousands of people who auditioned to make it to Hollywood, where she will again compete to make it to the live shows, which begin April 15, Allen Kleinberg said.

Kleinberg’s parents and her brother Alex were with Emma in Louisville, Kentucky, when the audition was recorded in October, but weren’t able to hear the audition — producers kept asking questions while she sang.

“The cameras were right in our face. I could hear her every couple of notes, and I thought ‘She sounds on pitch,’” Allen said.

There was lots of joking before Emma appeared — “Look at me, there I am!” said Allen, who was seen in the background of an interview with another performer. “There I am again,” he said.

The whole process, from the audition to the interview at home, was emotionally draining, he said.

The teaser for Emma’s audition called hers “one of the most emotional stories” viewers would hear.

Her brother Alex, now 24, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, attempted suicide in November 2017 and suffered a brain injury.

“It was the most heart-breaking moment of my life, and I knew life would never be the same,” Emma said. “There’s no part of me that’s mad at him, no part that thought it was a selfish decision. I’m really sad for the old Alex, the Alex I grew up with, but the new Alex is amazing and I’m falling in love with him every day.”

Since the attempt, Alex been recovering slowly, their mother Kim said, and this week began Electroconvulsive therapy.

ECT is a procedure in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure, which seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions, according to www.mayoclinic.org.

Alex can comprehend but has difficulty processing information, Kim said.

“He is just my rock, spiritually, and he’s been through a really, really tough year,” Emma said during the profile of her and her family. “This opportunity came at a time our lives need uplifting stuff.”

Kim and Allen were glued to the television and the house fell quiet as they listened to their daughter sing.

“It was awesome,” Kim said.

“She was free. She was not holding back, she felt it,” Allen added.
