I actually liked Maddie. But I don't think she was the kind to be this really big star. I think she's one of those singers who do not have a lot of chart success but have cult followings. She's going on a tour with Ingrid Michaelson who is this indie singer-songwriter and has been around for years. I think that's quite Maddie's wheelhouse and I'm happy for her. She has also had moderate success at radio.
Gabby, on the other hand, is made for country. And I think Carrie must have given her some very good advice when they met on Idol. She looks up to Carrie so much and considers her as one of her biggest influences. So I'm sure she already has an idea of how to navigate this industry.
