Along this American Idol trek, she remained consistent  humble and true to herself.  While the final chapter of this story has yet to be written, she's just a few pages away from closing the book on a remarkable run that has captivated the Capital Region while building a foundation for a career that has seemingly unlimited potential. The finals pages will be written next week when VanDenburg competes against Laine Hardy and Alejandro Arando in the AI finale. Sunday night, the local teen vaulted to the next round as a top 3 finalist.
