Career
Maddie Poppe independently released her first album, Songs from the Basement, on June 20, 2016. That same month, Poppe opened for Diamond Rio at the Butler County Fair. Prior to Idol, she auditioned for The Voice in 2016. The program aired on NBC on February 29, 2016, in season 10 of the show. She sang “Dog Days Are Over” from Florence and the Machine, but none of the judges (who were Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton) turned their chairs, thus being eliminated. Despite her elimination, Clarksville honored her with a city event at the Clarksville Library.
Poppe sang “Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie in an audition held in New York. Judge Lionel Richie said she had a “storytelling voice” and that “we need you in this show”. Katy Perry said she had a “distinctive quality in your voice” and Luke Bryan said “I’m not critiquing you, ’cause you got me, I’m saying yes.” After singing her original song “Don’t Ever Let Your Children Grow Up,” Perry said Poppe reminded her of herself as they “write a little bit of the same style.”
She admitted that she didn’t expect to win American Idol, planning to make it to Top 24 and get eliminated at some point before her Top 24 performance. “This sounds terrible, but I don’t want to go into things with super high hopes because then, obviously, I would be super let down if it doesn’t work out,” she told Bobby Bones. Poppe also admitted she has stage fright. “I remember times when I’d gotten up on stage and it totally just flopped. I fear that every time I walk on stage, I worry that it’s going to happen again.”
Poppe sang “Homeward Bound” by Simon & Garfunkel in her Top 14, sparking Katy Perry to remark, “I closed my eyes and I thought I was listening to Joni Mitchell,” while Luke Bryan labeled the interweaving of her modal voice and falsetto as “seasoned” and “big-time pro.”
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds declared May 20, 2018, to be “Maddie Poppe Day” prior to the May 20 finale. During the finale, she performed her winners’ single “Going Going Gone”, which was originally written by Mitch Allan, Lindy Robbins, and Julia Michaels. At the end of the show, after Poppe performed “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac, Katy Perry revealed she would be voting for her.
