I have seen this before, obviously the show has aired but there is a longer clip, too. He recognized her voice but he didn't hit his button because she is his niece. luckily someone did choose her. She really has a beautiful voice, it's a shame she didn't get further, although I think she got pretty far. I don't know which of his siblings is her parent but singing ability obviously runs in the family. His daughter is also a singer, she has a really nice voice, too.
