Meet The 16 Year Old Who Gave Katy Perry Goosebumps and Blew Away The Idol Judges

Remember the name. Madison VanDenburg.

Only 16 years old, from Upstate New York, Madison performed Dan + Shay’s “Speechless” for the American Idol judges Sunday night. Before she even got to the chorus Katy Perry was already full on goosebumps. By the end of her audition Katy and Luke Bryan were already declaring her “the next Kelly Clarkson”.

The performance is truly is amazing to watch.
