I remember hearing Maddie’s audition for American Idol and thinking she was unique, quirky, and very talented. Despite the odds, she became America’s favorite and won the show. Since then, she has grown more and more refined and has maintained a standard of excellence in the face of some very unfair aspects of the music industry. I admire her strength and resilience and truly hope she gains the recognition and acclaim she deserves.
She deserves every bit of it. Talented through the roof.
