The judges could not help but be impressed by her vocal range and emotional delivery, solidifying her as a frontrunner in the competition.
Madison's incredible performance caught the attention of all four coaches on the panel including John Legend, Dan + Shay, Chance the Rapper, and Reba McEntire as they were all eager to have her on their team after turning their chairs for her.
Her talent was so exceptional that they all wanted the chance to coach her and help her reach her full potential.
"I feel like you're just ready now. When I turned around, I saw the smile on your face... but I heard your smile before I turned around," John said.
Shay added, "You radiate light and joy. Your voice was just flawless, you could hear the smile in your voice... We're the lucky ones that you're here."
"You are an awesome talent. It's so exciting and fun — you have a really cool energy. It makes me smile just listening to you sing. I think whoever you go with, just think about ways in which we can help you in terms of arrangements," Chance shared.
Who did Madison Curbelo choose as her coach on 'The Voice' Season 25?
Madison Curbelo impressed all four judges during her Blind Audition on Season 25 of 'The Voice', ultimately choosing to join team Dan + Shay. The country duo celebrated enthusiastically when she made her decision.
"Four-chair win are you kidding me?" Shay Mooney said. On the other hand, Dan Smyers yelled, "Let's go!"
"That was the greatest accomplishment ever. She really was just a ray of sunshine — genuine and authentic. She was exactly what we were waiting for and I thought that she was going to choose John [Legend]," Smyers added.

Madison Curbelo auditioned for 'The Voice' Season 20
During Season 20 of 'The Voice', Madison Curbelo had the opportunity to audition for the show.
Unfortunately, despite her undeniable talent and captivating performance, she faced disappointment as none of the judges turned their chairs for her at that time.
In an interview before her Monday's Blind Audition, Madison said, "I was 18 and I was really scared. Even though I didn't turn a chair they had beautiful things to say and they're beautiful people."
"Blake [Shelton] said for me to just go around and gig at a bunch of places and then come back. I really took Blake's advice to heart," she further added.
