The first part of Madison Applegate's journey has concluded with the premiere of her music video for the song "Thoughts of You." But this is only the beginning for the singer.

The 16-year-old got her big break by winning the Big Break contest (natch), which rewarded her with vocal training from world-renowned vocal coach Linda Septien, image consulting, the chance to perform live in front of record executives and her very own music video. Not bad for one week's worth of work!

Applegate also had the chance to talk to pop star Demi Lovato, who offered some powerful advice: never compromise who you are.

If the song sounds different than it did when Applegate submitted it as her Big Break contest audition, that's because it is. The singer worked with Septien and other coaches to give the song new life, which included her vocals.
