New York Teen Makes American Idol Top 20

Madison Vandenburg is in the Top 20 on American Idol. The 17 year-old from Cohoes, New York survived the most drastic cut of the season.

Vandenburg's performance of 'Who's Loving You' at Disney in Hawaii received a standing ovation. But she had to wait to hear her fate on the ABC reality show.

Lionel Richie left Vandenburg speechless after asking what's been her favorite part so far and followed it with, "How about the time I told you you were going to make the Top 20?"

"I can't believe this," said Vandenburg after hearing the good news. "This is insane. This is my dream. I'm so excited."
