Surprised Madison's comments are negative.   I thought she's been doing a really good job making subtle or just the right amount of changes to classic songs. So that sucks

^^^ I would fly to see her. I always dreamed of attending an AI contestant's homecoming. 🥹   Sadly I live in Pennsylvania and am pretty broke...That and I have only flown back and forth from Disney World way back in 1999. So yeah... 😆 

Maddi is the most frustrating contestant of the season by far.   Both her live performances sounded good prechorus. Take for instance the most recent one. The first 20 seconds sound really pretty up until she hit that headvoice note, then it goes into the wordy singing part..which was alright. Then the chorus had no oomph to at all. Was the case with her top 12 to a lesser extent.     I get that any other contestant would do even worse covering these same songs. Heck, even the original artists dodge a majority of the the chorus live! (Based on the performances I saw) So kudos to Maddi for tackling literally every word and not doing a terrible job... But that doesn't really make the performance itself less underwhelming vocally, and at the end of the day this is a singing competition. Just frustrating cause she has a really good voice.
