CEDAR RAPIDS — It appears Kelsey Madsen, a 2008 Linn-Mar High School graduate, is going to be on “American Idol” tonight (1/20).

It’s a big secret who appears on the ninth-season premiere of the popular Fox Network show. But Madsen, 20, won the KFXA-Fox 28 contest last year to go to the Orlando auditions in July.

The Orlando episode airs at 7 p.m. Winners in regional contests advance to Hollywood to compete for viewers’ votes and a shot at musical stardom.

Madsen is the daughter of Chris and Erik Madsen of Cedar Rapids.
