We caught the country with Ryleigh Madison! She can’t believe she’s following in her biggest Idol Gabby Barrett’s footsteps. She sings Gabby Barrett’s “The Good Ones” with such an authentic Southern accent, it has Katy talkin’ country. When in Nashville!
Ryleigh Madison Proves She’s One Of ‘The Good Ones’ With Stunning Gabby Barrett Cover On ‘American Idol’
After telling judges that she was heavily influenced by Season 16 Idol alum Gabby Barrett, the high school sophomore belted out a cover of Barrett’s country smash “The Good Ones,” from her debut album, Goldmine.
Appearing visually nervous and swaying from side to side, Madison passionately delivered the lyrics of the romantic ballad, incorporating plenty of runs into her performance. She also showcased her technique by purposefully increasing and decreasing the volume of her vocals on particular sections of the song.
