Who is Ada LeAnn?
The Lakeview High School teen is all set to perform one of the biggest and the most happening shows in the country right now. Ada LeAnn, at 17, is the lone representative for Michigan and only time it will tell if her hometown of Battle Creek and the rest of the state will vote her through to the next round. She is set to perform 'Natalie' and in an interview with the Battle Creek Enquirer felt it was a great way to be noticed.
"This is a huge opportunity for me," LeAnn said. "Ultimately, what I want from this is I want people to be listening to my music. It would be super cool to win the show, but even if I don’t end up winning the show, what I really want from this is to be noticed for my songwriting and to be acknowledged as an artist. I'm really excited about that part of it."
"All of this has been stunning, just over the top. All of us have kind of been in awe with everything that is happening with her in California this week," mother, Jennifer Garver to the outlet. "She is in amazing clothes, been in rehearsals, walking the 'Purple Carpet.' It's all been amazing. NBC has really taken good care of her."
