This week we're talking to the girl behind #FEEDTHEBIRDSGATE. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about ....13-year-old Coco Marshall (@coco.marshall80) went viral after her dad (@champ_benn) shared a video of her performing "Feed the Birds" in her community theater production of Mary Poppins. Many people in the comments said Coco sounded more like Mariah Carey than Mary Poppins and she sparked a wave of controversy and debate across #theatertok and beyond. She's continuing to post "yaaaas-ified" covers of musical theater classics with sensational runs and riffs and the internet is eating it up....eating it up and leaving nothing for the birds to eat... Jackie talks with Coco and her dad about what it was like to suddenly become the center of the internet's attention, and how they handled the criticism and support.
