Courtney Hadwin America's Got Talent Reaction

[@markchambers7485]

Never comment, just had to for Cortney Hadwin,. I'm 59 years old and I was alive when the Beatles first aired in the U.S.A. And I know what it was like to hear Janis Joplin for the first time and all the music that came out since the "60"'s. Cortney is the closest talent to even come close too the great talent I've witness, especially female, She a site for sore eyes, truly Blessed, go Cortney

[@isakketsakidis4505]

I've been listening to it for the last 2 weeks everyday 20+ times. Am I tired of the song? NO. Simply Amazing.

[@RVREVO]

Isak Ketsakidis yeah me too. I sourced everything I could find. She is experimenting with a lot of songs, keeping in mind her age as she is perfecting her raw talent. Ppl do not seem to realize that singing lessons has more to do with how you breathe. I think Hadwin may have been inspired by Angelica Hale

[@daabell]

Me neither!

[@peterjohnson9291]

She may have been but she has said a few times that she really liked Janis because she wasn't scared to be different.

[@judybrown9716]

i watch many times a day too. lol

[@GUDBROS]

me too, i can't stop

[@steveb5364]

America needs hits to come from this young lady. She has so much to offer. She brings back what we have lost all these years. Pray for this multi talented sesation that ahe brings much more.

[@GuylainPrince]

You are the only one saying that her talent is exceptional for any individual (male/female, young/old, etc.). But the fact that she is a teenager, barely coming out of childhood, makes is a phenomenon, a prodigy. For me, this described as close as it can be my own understanding of Lady C. I am in awe in front of her. I play music for 30 years; I have been the choir director of 4 Gospel Choirs, and I just can't believe my ears. Just the voice is spectacular, but considering that she is a performer (total package) as well... breathtaking. Like you, I don't have words anymore... To me, she's beyond that.

[@ula6222]

Guylain Prince Lets hope her REAL RAW TALENT, god-given Gift is not trashed......by adding *extras’ to her performances. Her voice will be rubbed out by swirling Smoke, strobe lights and dancers in Spandex (if the go for a DISPLAY instead of her VOICE). All Courtney needs is a Stage to dance on, an audience and a microphone to share her explosive vocals. Hopefully she will sing similar songs and they don’t force her to do “popular” crap. She’s a born Entertainer, meant to Tour.....to be SEEN not just Heard.

[@waynecoker7129]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT !! COURTNEY IS THE ONLY SINGER OUT THERE CAN WAKE MY INSIDES UP AND I WANT TO DANCE ALSO MAKE ME HAPPY ! EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST SINGERS !

[@cainejones8700]

This is the best audition ever, on any show, and in any year.

[@craigmalon8397]

CAINE JONES-that was the BEST quote EVER. ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!!She is not Janis, she's ELVIS

[@petewilkerson4000]

First time I wanted watch the complete show just couldn't get enough wow

[@waynecoker7129]

yes you are so right ! i listen to her music most of the day ! COURTNEY makes me happy ! WOW !

[@byzinski]

I believe the best audition ever in the world was Amira Willighagen 9-years-old singing ‘O Mio Babbino’ (Opera aria) in Holland’s Got Talent in 2013

[@waynecoker7129]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT !

[@jefferynorthern9511]

AGT 2018 Winner!!! This young teenager is truly amazing Singer and Performer. She makes everyone drop their jaw and stare at her as she belts out those vocals as they ring our ears. This young teenager is truly a blessing to watch on t.v. I would love to attend a live show.

[@trimntim]

Pure instinctive showmanship! I feel privileged to witness the Miracle of a young superstar just coming into her own! I haven't seen anything like this since Michael Jackson was a boy! She is a natural born Entertainer. Thank you Julia for being so respectful during the audition. You have a true beauty about you, that really shines in your personality. 2 Miracles in one video! I love it! (Big Smile)

[@trimntim]

@Jason Tidd Absolutely!

[@jasonk9493]

I love it. She Sounds great. Ive seen her performance probably over a dozen times. she deserved that golden buzzer. 100%

[@davidlocklear8738]

Never seen anyone auditioning bring an audience to their feet so quick and keep them there rocking out with them. Truly AMAZING. TRULY a GIFT FROM GOD for all of mankind to enjoy. I'm hooked. A lifetime fan. Just love Her.

[@ranchill]

Without a doubt the finest artist to come out in 50 years Welcome new Elvis . God has blessed you Courtney Real Good Luck from now on.

[@Tigerex966]

Frank Costello along with the 9 year old Amira from Holland has talent Vocal perfection

[@annaburkett9421]

I like a it

[@waynecoker7129]

THE BEST OF THE BEST !! ONE OF A KIND ! I CAN FEEL WHAT SHE PUT INTO EACH AND EVERY SONG ! ALL OF HER ENERGY, HER FEELING AND HER LOVE FOR EVERY SONG SHE SING !

[@TheMonarchgroup]

Julia this is the best review of the phenomenal Courtney’s audition, thank you for not talking over it and waiting to the end to comment. Courtney is without doubt the most talented singer to emerge on the music scene for many decades. She has it all, the perfect performer with the most incredible voice.

[@coldstreamer9574]

You know what?! I NEVER get bored of seeing reactions to this talent! She’s amazing! By the way, you’re tougher than I am! I’m a serving soldier of eighteen years and when I see this somebody keeps leaving those goddam onions lying around!!!

[@robertabila9960]

I can watch her over and over and every time I watch her I also get goose bumps too. She is so talented and gifted she makes me cry when I watch and listens to her.........all of her performances!!

[@pyschoman9450]

I am SO happy with ur reaction-MAINLY because u are the 1st person to NOT interrupt her performance with a comment! AND ur reaction was spot on! ty soooo much!

[@gwenbarwick6237]

She transcends time. She makes me smile everytime I watch her! I would love to see her perform live.

[@FallingForward2023]

No cares about what show she has been on etc.. When I hear her I stop in my tracks and she makes my heart happy! She is AMAZING ♥♥♥ #CoutrneyHadwin♥!!!

[@waynecoker7129]

ME TOO !!

[@maryvaughn875]

Yeah she has what it takes to be a star.She gets down.I like her.I think shes going to go along ways.Were going to buy tickets to her concerts Im sure.

[@charlespatrick1572]

There is an old saying that goes, "She owned that stage!". Now she owns all of us too! Good luck to Courtney.

[@planetvideo777]

I would say- one of the best performances by far. I have seen so many. Lots of talented singers out their; which include Sam Bailey, Grace VanderWaal.... but, what set's her apart from the others is song choice; performance; unpredictability. Let's just say she has what it takes to be the next AGT winner.

[@rosshales8876]

Planetvideo777 I totally agree; and if she is left to choose her music she is incomparably great. Love Grace but she is a standard type of performer whereas Courtney has created a new genre of music. One can see so many musical influences in her performance; none of which solely captures her creativity.

[@jonathangems]

Her performance makes me cry. I don't understand why.

[@BBBYpsi]

I have said since she performed the best way to describe her is unfiltered. She just lets go & I hope she stays that way.

[@brokenwrench1]

her voice is over the top but her stage presence and her dance moves are over the top also and enhances the entire performance

[@robertrussell3843]

She had the entire audience on their feet clapping in cadence within 35 SECONDS. Who does that???

[@robertfager7028]

A true prodigy

[@JET1970]

@@robertrussell3843 you're right she's the only that has had people up that fast clapping

[@up2my]

damn-- she left the stage in ashes. a little steven tyler, Otis redding, mick jagger, Freddie mercury and james brown with a Janis Joplin presentation. she nailed the finish and left the stage--- smokinnnnn :-)

[@burkhard3640]

That is the best answer I have read. Great 😊

[@raymondlyons3023]

Can't get tired of this audition with my rock star Courtney Hadwin. Go girl

[@grubby124]

Little girl feeling her dreams come to life + Daddy so proud his heart is almost bursting out of his chest = tears on my cheeks.

[@rosshales8876]

YUP. ME TOO!

[@robertrussell3843]

Yup every time I watch her father wrap her in his arms my tears trickle.....almost every day for a year now. I WILL GET TICKETS TO HER CONCERTS AND FLY ANYWHERE TO GET TO ONE!!!!!

[@glennlewis835]

Her energy is infectious! I'm watching Courtney Hadwin Golden Buzzer performance for the dozenth time and my reaction is the same each time, tears of joy and wonder running down my face as I continue to be stunned by this miracle talent! INCREDIBLE!!!

[@BMJCARPENTRY]

Miss, the best part of your analysis and video is muting your comments until the end, much respect. Other channels interrupt and talk over as the video is rolling.

[@Tigerex966]

I love that!

[@tobyjohnmedicinehorse8784]

Watching your reaction when she started to sing was everything!!! It was awesome to see your reaction to it!!!!!!

[@jujukharz8310]

I know there dialogue...now been watching this for a million times shes the best cant get enough of courtney..u go girl

[@richim2326]

right at the end, you said people are saying that its the best audition that they have ever seen... i love these "got talent" shows, and i watch it from all over the world... i've never seen a better audition...

[@waynecoker7129]

if you want to really hear her voice close your eyes then listen to her voice then you can really hear how good her voice is ! COURTNEY is one of a kind ! there is no one like her ! GOD BLESS YOU COURTNEY !

[@dwrdwlsn5]

NO ONE expected this shy kid to pull this out. I knew the moment she set her feet wide that she was better than she seemed, as red faced and nearly crying as she was when she came on stage. (Apparently, she got literally sick form nerves beforehand) So, she came on stage, seemed shy and then OWNED the stage, the audience and all four judges. All I can say is 'WOW!'

[@christopherunderwood9646]

Hi Julia. I love the way you let the video play before commenting. I also got goosebumps listening to her sing. I know there are a lot of good singers and they all do their own thing.. Everyone will admit this girl has a talent that is so strong. I cannot even wait to see what happens in her future.. I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more from her.... I hope so. her voice is incredible..

[@CandC68]

So, Julia. Very nice "reaction" vid. You let the whole audition run, 'cause you were really drawn into her performance. Many of the "reactioneers" get the shock part, then start yapping, and over acting, instead of going with the performance. Regarding "best audition ever". Yah, it may be. It checked all the boxes. Cute, surprise, song choice, voice, "channeling" the 60s and 70s?, quirky, dance, stage ownership, Howie's comments, buzzer, dad comforting her, then back story.... Quite a complete episode.

[@andrewjackson9368]

the fingers tapping confidently on the mike, the move she made on that last turn....AMAZING! Reminds me of child stars of the 60s and 70s like Michael Jackson. She is so exciting!

[@redstone51]

I thought Bo Bice (American Idol) was incredible. Then came Jackie Evancho (AGT) then Angelina Jordan (NGT)!!! I just added Courtney Hadwin to my favorite all time list from talent shows.

[@deborahhenson5917]

I think she is so great . I love to hear her sing. I just can't quit watching it.

[@AltSearchEngines]

Best Golden Buzzer ever! Go Courtney!

[@glenmiles6279]

OMG,that girls voice could stop a war! she’s something special.❤️

[@phoebeh3watkins464]

thank you for having the volume up so we can hear Courtney

[@dalemurray4083]

For years I wondered "what's the big deal about how Mick Jagger moves?" now I get it.

[@GuylainPrince]

In fact, you got it better than most people. She does not "dance", in the sense that it is choreographed; the expression she uses is : "The music makes me move. I can't stay still." It is basic simple pleasure in listening and singing songs. The music takes their bodies and they become the song. You mentioned MJ, but you could add Tina Turner, James Brown and many other great singers/performers. But I warn you, though: it becomes addictive ! This kind of performer is a completely new field in music that you might have discovered with Courtney ! Some of the others that you liked, until now, might seem a bit... boring from now on. Join the club !

[@georgeseegers5947]

Fred Astaire, James Brown, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, and Courtney Hadwin...I think she has earned her place on this list....History repeats its self...

[@noahssnail]

... watched the performance a couple of times today and was each time amazed by my reaction. Started to tear up after the first few words and missed the 'good old lovin' due to the tears flooding my eyes. ... Thanks Courney.

[@michaelbperry5450]

Thanks for another chance to watch and listen to Courtney.

[@giovannisanchez1519]

Yes that was the best audition I've ever seen I Love The Way She Moves her free motion of Dance she's awesome I hope she becomes a superstar and lives to be an idol in her old age very impressed with that girl

[@giovannisanchez1519]

Thank you very much I'm not too familiar with receiving compliments on KZbin but thank you I was just I guess noticed this young lady and I think she's awesome man I don't know what else to say about her except if somebody does not sign this young lady or make her a superstar like Janis Joplin and some other superstars

[@andreyamayhew7037]

I watch this video many times and can't get eough the girls got talent. And i hope she goes all the way. You go girl.

[@DaijuFuma]

Watching Courtney performing on stage is like watching an actual miracle happen!

[@waynecoker7129]

COURTNEY is the best ! there is no one like her and i mean no one !!! she has so much love for her music and is bring happiest to so many people ! COURTNEY is very special ! if you can not feel this from her music then you are died !

[@johnbannister2539]

I was happy to note that most comments described Courtney as giving a "performance" rather than an audition, for a performance was exactly what she gave Love your non interrupting presentation, so unlike those who can watch without ruining the show, Excellent commentary,

[@RVREVO]

Check out The Voice Kids 2017 where she auditions Nutbush City Limits. I have been reading, and watching many videos now. Even subscribed to a source close to Hadwin who shows unique personal videos and her very first live performance in a shopping mall as a 10 year old. Have formed a theory that she is simply performing 100%, giving it her all, no limits. She is not in the competition. She is simply performing. And when its done, she reverts back to her incredulous reclusive self. Its quite endearing. Michael Jackson and Prince were also shy in the spotlight, and on stage they explode into life. Hadwin was runner up in The Voice Kids. At 65% popularity score on her AGT gone viral she is more popular than Trump ;)

[@thomlin8812]

You are one Reaction Host who has both respect and charm. Yes.☺

[@chrisspratt7340]

So true!! Loved your reaction ! It's nice to see someone being honest! Loved it!

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was THE best audition ever...don't get me wrong...it was one of the best auditions ever. To me, it was the most unexpected audition I have ever seen. Not in a million years would after seeing the first minute of her chatting with the judges would I have expected such an amazing transformation when the music started. She just turned into a whole new type of person...and then when the music was over, she went right back to being her original, meek little self. This is a rare phenomena that exists in some of the most famous music legends of all time.

[@rosshales8876]

Tawnku and this is why she is a true artist; she allows the music to recreate her SELF in her environment; and we all are drawn into it and cannot turn away. And this is why I would say hers is the best audition I have ever seen on AGT or any other talent variety show for that matter.

[@rickrhoden1]

1st time I've seen one of your reactions, but I agree with some of the others that it was nice that you did not talk during performance. Your reaction was reflective of what most people feel and notice about this 13 year old wonder. Not to mention you are quite easy on the eyes....

[@gailremp3628]

Rick Rhoden loved your assessment of this poster. I'm glad she's easy on your eyes. Lordy. Totally irrelevant...

[@raewhisner4545]

A star is born..well deserved golden. Utton. The audience went wild.. You brought the roof down. God bless

She will obviously go on to have a very successful singing/music career. Completely amazing, and that voice

[@pyschoman9450]

you had 1 if not THE best reactions to this performance I have ever seen! 1-u never interrupted the song! which ive only seen on reactions 1 other time. 2-you described your reaction just like I felt when I 1st heard this. so ty ty ty

[@DMike54]

MAN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!....Anyway she is like, from another era. If you've ever watched Woodstock from the 60's you would see that she'd fit right in there with Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, etc. I like your reaction. She also created a new dance called the Courtney Strut.

[@annaburkett9421]

😇😎

[@geena403]

Absolutely amazing! I want to hear more and more!!♥️

[@sarahhaugh7922]

Based on the number of times I've watched Courtney's audition it has to be my favorite! I also believe her voice is superior to Joplin's and many other performers of the 60's, which is the decade I was a teenager! I've cross-referenced her audition with other songs she's done recently and she has amazing adaptability in a variety of genres. Courtney is simply one of a kind!

[@angiewinborn1588]

Courtney colors outside the lines. Thank you Courtney Hadwin. Courtney Willwin!!!💕

[@rickeytomlin1964]

NO one has a more explosive voice or show than our Courtney!

[@michaelschettl9509]

The juxtaposition of Her transformation from a sweet, shy young girl to a raw talented & confident young lady belting out this song to perfection is what makes her so endearing.

[@leonardsimmers9158]

Hi Julia, always love your reactions. Courtney gave a really great Audition. Her family and friends say that she's really shy. Except when she performs. Now AGT isn't the first show like this she has been in. Last year she was 2nd in The Voice Kids UK. The videos of her audition and performances to the final are on KZbin. In 2016 she was a Grand Finalist in Open Mic UK singing Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor. Her folks couldn't afford to buy her singing lessons. So she used to do busking to pay for her singing lessons. At least, that's what I heard.

[@JuliaMBroderick]

Leonard Simmers wowww incredible thank you, and yes we can see see that she’s incredibly shy and then when she sings it’s like a whole other person and she looks so comfortable performing she’s fantastic

[@peterjohnson9291]

That's correct. Dawn McManus who worked with Courtney through the musical charity Red Dreams in her hometown said "When she was on the show she was really meek and mild and she is really like that, she is very shy and finds it hard being in crowds.”

[@Hugs218]

Julia, I am glad I found your site. You are one of the few reviewers who waits until the end of a performance to make comments. That approach is the way I like it the best. I agreed with your opinions and I still get those 'goosebumps' seeing that audition again, even after seeing all the others and Courtney (unfairly) not making the 5 finalists on AGT 2018. With a more voice lessons and proper coaching she has no place to go except 'UP'. Thanks! Julia for your contributions to Music Discussion.

[@victorialawrence8414]

[@babycheeks1579]

Julia, Enjoyed your reaction the best part of your reaction that was it heartfelt and you didn't give a running commentary like so many of these type of videos which really annoys me. I agree she is definitely an old soul, she has an unusual quirky way of dancing which I find endearing. If you look at early Rolling Stones Mick Jagger had similar moves and similar facial expressions. If you notice before her performance while being interviewed by Mel B she had a lot of nervous energy, once she got into her zone she totally changed and looked almost possessed by the rock spirit. Keep up the good work.

[@JuliaMBroderick]

Baby Cheeks yes exactly you said it better than me! Thank you 😊

[@doloreshernandez3573]

[@truetalk5211]

Wowwwwww! 13 year old with thirteen tons of raw passion, power, and vocal presence. I think Mick Jagger should mentor her. By the way, this song is an OTIS REDDING SONG, "Too Hot to Handle".
