Cohoes Teen Talks To GNA Following Amazing Idol Audition (Audio)
Last night, Madison VanDenberg wowed the three American Idol judges with a sensational performance of Speechless by Dan + Shay. This morning, she did her first interview with Brian and Chrissy in the Morning on GNA.
Just a few hours after that stirring performance in which she drew comparisons to AI's first ever winner, Kelly Clarkson, it became pretty clear that this 17-year-old's life was about to be flipped upside-down. The judges, and America, seem pretty clear about one thing; this girl can SING! Before school started at Shaker High, the talented Cohoes native spent a few minutes chatting it up with Brian and Chrissy from the GNA Morning Show. We got her reaction to the judges comments, discussed song choice with her, and even got her to discuss plans on leaving school and becoming a full-time musician.
We plan on spending more time with Madison as she further progresses throughout the show and we wish her the best of luck!
