of body," Chin said, holding her trophy backstage after the NBC singing

be real. Like unbelievable. Unbelievable."
She called the
experience "life-changing."
"I was
literally at the end of a road, you know, and coming to a place in my life
where I was like, am I going to keep doing this and feeling like I'm not
getting anywhere? Or am I going to give this another shot? And thank God, thank
God I was able to give it another shot," she said.
