If it makes you feel any better...in some ways, being discovered later can be a good thing. She probably didn't HAVE that set of pipes 20 years ago. A voice like that, you grow into. Clarity you can have very young, but power and depth (not in the sense of pitch, but resonance) often develop over time.
Actually, someone in the YouTube comments said 'she'd be perfect for Disney movies', and they're probably right. Doing songs for movies is one of the venues that showcases singing talent without requiring everything that goes with being a stage performer. She might or might not be comfortable learning to be on stage, but even if she is, it'd be a great gig for her while she picks up those skills.
