It's almost here. Madison Applegate's debut music video for her song "Thoughts of You" will be released June 30.

It's been a crazy journey for the 16-year-old singer from St. Louis. She won our Big Break talent contest this month, and since then has flown out to meet the Kidd Kraddick staff in our Dallas studio, trained with vocal coach to the stars Linda Septien, met with image consultants and filmed her first music video.

Not bad for a teenager -- or anyone, for that matter!

Friday also marked Madison's final day training with Septien.

Listen to her talk about the entire Big Break experience and receive a surprise phone call from Columbia Records' Lee Leipsner below.
