FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Courtney Hadwin 'That Girl Don't Live Here Anymore"

[@derekmccracken4343]

Great reaction, Britt. She and her team are aiming to release a new original every month, or so. Look forward to your reactions of Courtney's news stuff that'll continue to drop for the rest of 2023

[@lesgray8709]

Courtney certainly has got her mojo back! She made an impact on Voice UK back in the day, later got the golden buzzer on AGT - inspired by Janice Joplin - I think it shows! The message for Simon Cowell is quite clear! Thank goodness that she is a free spirit again - she deserves so much respect for sticking to her own plan!

[@oscarpicon5254]

another great young artist, along with Daneliya and Angelina. Courtney was in agt when she was 13 and in the voice kids uk when she was 12, she is old school rock. Thank you Britt sdos Argentina.

[@marcoman385]

Your reaction to this song was a reaction masterpiece! Your reaction was all over your face which ranged from wonderment to appreciation of Courtney's new music and her direction. By the way, you'd look great in the flowered pants suit from her video! Her last two original songs, Breakable and That Girl Don't Live Here Anymore, are very honest; truly autobiographical in a way I can't recall any other artist doing in such a tranparent style. You really get Courtney and your comments are on target and intelligent. What I really liked was that by the time you got halfway through this song you were already singing the hook. That is the hallmark of a successful song. I look forward to both Courtney's next song and to your reaction to it.

[@edwarddevogelear4432]

Hi Britt. Always love your Courtney reactions. It feels like you're a true believer in Courtney's incredible talent, just like the rest of us. You had the message in the song and video just spot on. Fabulous song by Courtney and the lyrics are brilliant. Courtney is such a powerhouse as a songwriter. It has such a good vibe that you can't listen to it and not want to move with it. It's a complete 360 in style from her first release, 'Breakable', which was a beautiful ballad, and just serves as a reminder that Courtney can sing just about anything and be great at it. I love how so many people view Courtney as this hard core, full out, stage dominating rocker, and then when she releases her own music, she leads with a sensational gritty ballad (Breakable), and follows it up with an uptempo song that has the feel almost of 1940's Swing. (That Girl Doesn't Live Here). When Courtney is in control of her own destiny, amazing things happen. She has such a huge library of material that she has written over the last several years that she couldn't release. Now that she controls her own music, it has been said to expect a release approximately every month. So buckle up. You're going to be busy and it's going to be a wild ride. Can't wait to see you reacting to all of Courtney's original material.

[@bertpainter8385]

Courtney has got everyone paying attention to her new direction of independence, which btw, these last 2 originals songs of hers you reacted to, "Breakable" and "GDLH", are a response to what she's had to experience in the past 4 years since she went mega viral on AGT and got signed by Simon and Arista records/Sony Music. She won't tell details, but she expresses her experiences in her lyrics with some hints on social media of what she endured with them. AGT removed her viral video not long ago which was the 4th most ever watched video for them. That says it all that something went down. I hope one day she gets up at one of those music award ceremonies and throws it back in there faces, like when Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" goes back to the high end clothing store which shunned her and after spending loads of money at another store with Richard Gere says "See what you missed out on". That would be a very well deserved slap in the face to those music executives who try to control their signed artists and change them like they supposedly tried to change Courtney. If you haven't yet done so, go check out Courtney's viral video audition from 2018 on AGT that got her world wide recognition, which is also where she had some hate despite her overwhelming popularity with the viewing audiences. Because of how differently Courtney thinks, and how she has never conformed and never wavered from being who she is, even as a 9 year old child, she sparks conversations with music lovers from both sides of today's picture perfect style of singing and as you said her imperfect style, which is that old school rocky edginess of expressing attitude with her gritty vocals and sassy personality. Courtney has all the makings to break out and make it big if she gets exposure and can market herself enough to let word of mouth take over after a while. She's just got that "It Factor". Who won't love this girl? I guess, those who aren't open to all styles of artistry might. Unfortunately there's a few of those around.

[@drmayeda1930]

Sony wanted her to forget her original songs and stick to covers. Sony wanted her second album to be more covers not original music. If she can get past INS she should do a few performances solo, or with Grace Vanderwal.

[@prakaklef]

That was a blast! Thank you for this! This video now has more views in three weeks than Breakable's had in more than two months, so Courtney's picking up steam. BTW I haven't read about anybody getting blocked for not blurring her new videos. I think that's one of the perks of dumping the corporate structure😃

[@chuckvisconti5713]

The girl is amazing she has her own style of music she can hit any note she writes music she plays guitar and piano I've been watching her at the age of 9 years old till now and every song was amazing especially at 10 years old doing Whitney Houston

[@darrenbent7601]

What about when she was doing Adele at 10, or Elvis for that matter. She is just incredible.

[@sherryericksen4662]

Great reaction Britt! I love this song and Courtney’s vocals are beyond compare. I see that you can’t sit still when you listen to it either. It’s so good to hear Courtney’s originals hit the airwaves. This s is such a rockin’ song. Her first original release “Breakable”, which you also reacted to, is such a beautiful, soulful song. The difference in these two show just how versatile Courtney is. Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

[@jackwade3440]

Hi Britt - I think you're an analogy of the lyrics of this song were bang on - the best I've heard so far! I always enjoy your enthusiasm and expertise when it comes to saying how it is!

[@darrenbent7601]

I Love this high-energy fun song from her. It is almost impossible not to move with it playing. If fact, I'd dare anyone to try that.

[@billweekley4077]

A few year’s ago I wrote that there were three singers who were going to change the music industry. All three are basically independent of control. Aurora, Angelina, and Courtney. The world is a Changan.

[@rickrhoden1]

Those are certainly top bets!

[@melbeasley9762]

She is incredible.

[@kimking6036]

Ive loved her since I saw her on AGT.

[@tracybeetem3824]

Love her ❤

[@LiLiJo]

❤ your reaction! The words “chapters in a book” was perfection. I’m 52 and I’ll probably be using it. 😊The first time I said “kids these days” shocked me. The chapters of that book is life experience.

[@rodneyholmes5908]

SHE BECOMES MORE BEAUTIFUL EVERY DAY 🎉

[@rosa32]

I saw her perform at a festival in NE England years ago when she was 13. She was so good. Please react to her on America's got talent when she was only 13 years old.

[@chuckvisconti5713]

Courtney hadwin Etta James at last the best ending ever heard in a song swear she could do Opera love you reactions I listen to your reactions overtime

[@marcfisher328]

Wow ! ....Every time I see and hear Courtney perform all I can say is WOW !

[@jerrypost9651]

I so enjoy you, Britt! ♥️

[@Graniepanies]

COURTERIZED ALWAYS ❤

[@darrenbent7601]

I've been COURTERIZED since AGT too.

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

Really liked this.. w2g Courtney

[@brentravnsborg2782]

Thx Britt, love this song from Courtney. I think that Courtney is happy again after all her reported creative struggles with SYCO-ARISTA.

[@anticafo]

A breath of fresh air, same as Ren, Sam Tompkins and Chinchilla - true independent artists that are making music exciting again.

[@solmarysegui790]

She my idol, thanks for reation👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@trishmills8155]

Awesome reaction! Love her new song and video❤️

[@pauliwog12]

Have great respect for Courtney going independent to stay true to herself and keep her own identity.

[@danilozaccaria9271]

Hi Britt. Danilo here. Hope you recognize my name. I am an Angelina's Angel and I subscribed to you 'cause of Her. I bumped into this video of yours by chance so, since I like you Very much, your comments are always on point and intelligently given, I thought " let's see what she has to say about Courtney. I must tell you. I've seen all of Courtney's performances both on the VOICE UK and on AGT and, togheter with Grace Vanderwall, she was my favored singer song writer......THEN ANGELINA APPEARED. As always I enjoyed your commentary. Again spot on. Good job Sister Angel ( I'm sure you are and if not,yet, you'll be). Peace and love.💖

[@lisaely9583]

😂❤ you Britt!!! and.... yassssss.... that part where she says "don't" is my favorite as well. Courtney is just amazing. Can I enough good things about her and I just absolutely love her music, her style, her dance moves, her songwriting ability with her lyrics. I believe she's been writing songs since she was twelve or thirteen which in itself just blows my mind. Love you too Brett, thank you so much for your reviews, thoroughly enjoy them.

[@brittreacts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@risaorellana7906]

Thank you for this wonderful reaction! I love your presentation style, and I agree with your taste in music. I have been following Courtney since she was on The Voice Kids UK at 12. She's unique, that's for sure. I hope things are coming together for her now, she doesn't belong on a talent show anymore, but on the professional stage. At least, that's my opinion. And yes, I interpret the lyrics the same way you do. To me, this song is Courtney's "Control." Janet Jackson came out with that when I was about your age, early 20s. Janet was also 18, and ready to forge her own path. I hope Courtney can do the same thing. She's bringing pantsuits back and reinterpreting rock 'n' soul for a new generation. I hope you will continue reacting to her, as well as Angelina, I'm also hooked on the barefoot princess, been following her since she was 7. I hope both of them have huge and wonderful careers. Their voices and artistic talent are a blessing for us all. It's a hard career, but people are going to recognize and promote them, I hope.

[@TonyM1961]

So glad you followed through on my suggestion for you to check this out. Courtney absolutely slays in this song... and yes, she writes and arranges her own music

[@jamespalma3311]

I love everything about her. Her presence, her voice, and especially her style! 18 yo kids aren't supposed to have such command of their style. She just rocks. Everything about her. Love your channel, Britt.❤

[@renek3840]

Thanks for your reaction! Courtney is a phenomenon and I hope the world is ready for her!

[@brittreacts]

Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@zxzx2323]

Britt loved your interpretation of Courtney's new release. You see she has broken loose from AGT and all the labels that tried to dictate how her career would be shaped. She is so happy and so energized to write and produce her own music with Kevin Bowe's help. The sky is the limit so bring it on Courtney we can't wait. 😊

[@givingin2G4Courtz]

Thanks for the Reaction, Brit. Love your insights. OMG, somebody let the #MONSTERS out!! Streaming now....I trust Courtney Hadwin will soon have lyrics/visualizer in place on her channel here on KZbin. #RockOut

[@williamwooten9437]

She has 2 other new official music Video's, and an official music Video, The video with her singing in it will be coming out soon. She did this one, Call me back, Breakable, and she just came out with Monsters. You hit the nail on the head it was about the music Industry. Her dressed as Alice in wonderland was her climbing out of the rabbit hole.

[@danilozaccaria9271]

PS. Check Grace Vanderwall if you haven't already. It's worthed. Don't worry, Angelina won't mind. 😉😁

[@redstone51]

LOVED THIS HONEST AND DOWN TO EARTH REACTION!!! BLESS YOU BRITT!!!🌹👌

[@rickrhoden1]

Really great reaction and analysis, Britt, to a great song by a great singer/songwriter/entertainer! Courtney co-wrote that with veteran songwriter, Kevin Bowe, and Courtney brings it alive with her inimitable style. As you noted, the song has been labeled by some as jazzy rock or swing. I guess beauty is in the ear of the beholder, because Courtney's voice is very "pretty" to me. But I get your point; it's certainly not a traditionally sweet and smooth sound (although she does a little of that too). We should expect another original to drop soon.

[@lorensmith6500]

She was on Americas Got Talent. Didn't win but Simon signed her to his recording company. When Simon sold his company to someone else, the new owners tried to make her do pop and she said...screw that...i do what I do. Thats why she's independant.

[@bobwalker7531]

Courtney is now an independent artist and has released 4 singles this year upto October 2023. See her youtube channel for all her new releases. You can also subscribe and join her channel for future new music.

[@brittreacts]

that is awesome, thanks for letting me know!!

[@ambertaylor3764]

If you love her sass check out Chapel Hart. Their audition on AGT was amazing. Their semifinal Girls Are Back in Town is fire. Jesus and Alcohol is a great song too.

[@jamesgilles6378]

Have you reacted to Call Me back and Monsters? She has a good supply of original material. In 2024, she says that she HAS completed her album, it is awaiting release. Also, above a things, she wants to perform before crowd and she hopes to do it this year yet. I cannot wait myself!

[@watgaz518]

Great video, singer and reaction👌👏👍

[@curukjahat3041]

Courtney got a lil atittude in good way 💅

[@jamesbull6266]

She always has done only what she wants--that is NOT new. If anybody does it her way, it is Courtney Hadwin.

[@MontaroCeltics]

Yep, i'm a huge fan of courtney but i did not understand the meaning of this song: now she'is free, a true artist, a real. Thanks for your understandig (and sorry for my english, i'm french ^^). new subscribe now ^^

[@crazyratlady3026]

[@waynecoker7129]

[@torsionjimify]

Have you heard Novas com9ng out video, saying goodbye to a label?

[@jimbiemm]

[@SAXON7147]

If anything I think she has gone back to the Janis Joplin staly.
