Madison revealed that she had been a big fan of the show since she was four and always tried to sing during commercial breaks. She was handed a mic during one of the commercial breaks, and since then, there has been no looking back. Her soulful rendition of the song Amazing Grace intrigued the judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel, and Heidi Klum. The audience began cheering for her to get on the stage. Although nervous initially, the contestant managed to continue the song and shocked the judges and the audience with her singing skills and vocal range. Simon joked about how her song brought him back into the room as opposed to his habit of leaving during the breaks. When asked what she would do with a million dollars, Madison revealed that she would help her father with cancer research and opened up about his battle with the deadly disease. She explained that her father was currently suffering from stage four colon cancer and that she would sing for him during chemo sessions to make him feel better.

For her semi-finals performance, Madison performed Whitney Houston and Kygo's version of Steve Winwood's Higher Love. She ended up receiving a standing ovation from all the judges.
