You really gotta watch her original song "Pretty Little Things" performed at AGT Championships!!!! She's not only a Great Singer, (see her covers on here for Sign of the times, Someone you Loved, Sign of the times, Sucker and Old Town roads!) But also a True Stage Performer! At least I think so... whatcha think?

[@marilyngeneral6255]

pls check also, KATRINA VELARDE's "ALL BY MYSELF", her latest cover. This is BEAUTIFULLY INSANE!. Her rendition is so CAPTIVATING .. full of emotions, so soulful yet powerful. She is wearing on white sitting in a room.

[@andifirdaus6759]

❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍ali ba ta and voice of baceprot

[@Nci7]

When you said you wouldn't be reacting to her voice I was like 'good luck with that' 😄 She's unforgetable. What a powerhouse!

[@eugeniagainous3177]

You need to watch her audition from the beginning-she was shy and bashful-that’s why the panel and audience was so surprised when she opened her mouth!🔥Watch it until the very end! (And yes that is her real voice) One of my favorite auditions ever!🙏🏼🔥❤️

[@jackmishleau8912]

Should have watched the intro!!

[@scottmcgregor4829]

Her performance was not so much confident as it was great example of a young girl shaking off her fears and colliding with her lack of confidence, which made her performance much more powerful.

[@markwatkins-d7s]

I would love for her to have seen the beginning also!!!

[@ToddKohut]

I love watching people’s jaws drop when they see Courtney for the first time. Your reaction was awesome.

[@MEGAMIGA]

Blimey!!! What a singer! And what a stage presence she has! 🤯🤯🤯

[@chuckvisconti5713]

she is a superstar in the making every performance is better than the other she just turned 18 and still going strong

[@seattleogre]

Her stage awareness is spot on. Watch her pacing and her final landing exactly on her mark, the X. This kid is a pro and as was revealed in later videos this was not her first rodeo.

[@lurkerinthetube]

Just understand that Courtney's extreme nervousness at the beginning (and end) of the extended video (see AGT) was very real. Word was that they had to send a couple of acts out ahead of her because her nerves were overwhelming and she needed time to calm down.

[@donb380]

Lady, You're a dingbat!

[@rickrhoden1]

When you said you were mainly watching for stage performance, I knew Courtney had you--nobody owns the stage like Courtney! I hope you watch(ed) the full video version before and after her performance, because the whole package is amazing; this audition has gotten well over 500 million views altogether! Please do more Courtney reactions!

[@lurkerinthetube]

Estimates are now that, all told between the original video and all the reactions, it's been seen over 1 billion times! A very powerful statement of how powerful her presence will be in the rock industry when she gets her audience rebuilt after the long lay off for various reasons (like Covid)!

[@McDevittMike]

I agree. This performance shocked the hell out of me. For the first few seconds, I thought I was being trolled, but almost instantly I realized that the girl can really 'sang'. Your reaction parallels mine precisely. 😎

[@jefffrommaine5909]

Courtney has a unique way of making songs she does as if they were made for her! Original, unique, one of a kind. Please check out all her Covers!

[@edwarddevogelear4432]

Hi Janet! So cool that you've come upon Courtney's music. Courtney is absolutely amazing. The best thing to happen to the music world in decades, if not forever. She is equally great in everything from Rock to R&B, Funk, Soul and Ballads and there never is any loss to the incredible quality of her music. She even had an opera clip go viral on TikTok. You can't fully tell from this audition, but she is a true stage beast, in the best sense of the word, and dominates a stage like no other when she's rocking out. She's a dynamite guitarist, plays piano and is a true powerhouse as a song writer. As you hear more of Courtney, you'll realize what a truly generational talent she is. Frankly, for me and many of us, she is the true voice of a lifetime. Courtney had been singing for a number of years prior, but she burst to worldwide fame when she took America's Got Talent (AGT) by storm with this performance in 2018. This audition video went viral and currently has over 500M views. Courtney herself has over 2 Billion on line views. She has a devoted following of millions from virtually everywhere on the globe. On AGT, Courtney focused on singing classic rock from the 60's and 70's by the likes of James Brown, Tina Turner and Janis Joplin. She literally blew the roof off of the arena with every performance. After AGT, so many who were first introduced to her there, viewed her as strictly this fabulous stage dominating rocker, which she most certainly is. However, she is so, so much more. Few realized how versatile she really was. So she then released a four song EP, where she took massive recent hits across multiple genres, totally re-invented them and created something amazing out of each of them. As an example, one of the songs on the EP was 'Lil Nas' huge record setting hit 'Old Town Road', which Courtney turned from it's original Country/Hip Hop version into a magnificent rock anthem. The purpose was to highlight both her incredible vocal range, but also her unmatched creativity. For all four of the songs on the EP, I've never come across anyone who has heard both the originals and Courtney's version, that didn't feel that Courtney blew the originals totally out of the water. The only reason Courtney isn't already a mega-star is mostly due to bad luck regarding timing. She was slated to appear as the youngest artist at the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. However, that ended up being cancelled for financial and logistical reasons. Courtney was so great on AGT, that she was signed to Syco/Arista records (Sony Music) shortly after the competition. She was getting ready to release her debut album of original music when Covid hit, and the drop has been repeatedly delayed for over two years as a result, but a drop is now expected shortly. There is so much pent up anticipation for Courtney's music that it will simply explode. I've put a few links below as suggestions for your next Courtney reaction. First is her performance on AGT Champions that will give you an idea of how Courtney can dominate a full stage. The second is the totally re-invented 'Old Town Road', which I mentioned above, to show you her creativity and finally is a ballad that will highlight what a truly beautiful voice Courtney has. One suggestion. Whenever listening to a Courtney cover, always listen to the original first. Courtney's creativity is off the charts and any cover she does will never sound anything like the original. It's going to be a hell of a ride, so enjoy.

[@lurkerinthetube]

Oh yeah! Her "Pretty Little Thing" video (AGT Champios) is definitely one for a stage presence coach to look at!

[@shaunmorris8176]

HI from Adelaide Australia, I felt the same way when I first heard her. Sooooo cool.

[@zxzx2323]

You have now entered the amazing world of Courtney Hadwin. To continue the journey go directly to her next performance on AGT, James Brown's Papa got a new bag cover. You talk about stage presence she is just mesmerizing during the performance with the foot work and soulful vocals. It's a wonderful journey so enjoy the ride. MORE COURTNEY HADWIN PLEASE !!!

[@Finnssssss]

Yep Papa's Got a New Bag is an even better performance. You go into it thinking OK no way this girl could shock me again...wrong!

[@darrenbent7601]

That's what I love about her. Shy, quiet and very timid,.... until there's a microphone in her hand, where she becomes this ROCK GODDESS!!! And, a couple of days ago she just turned 18. She has been performing like this since she was 11. She is an absolute gem, that I wish more people would recognise.

[@williampaul5097]

This is my Queen of Rock, I Love her 😍

[@davidlocklear8738]

Beautiful reaction. TYPICAL! You can't help but love.

[@dreamok732]

She's still doing it! See her JJ cover when she we as in New York recently.

[@garybekhor7707]

Her parents had and have so much belief in her. They must have realised very young she was uniquely talented. And I thank them for letting us witness a very young , but will be a super star rocker!

[@MAGAisacult]

Even more surprising, if you dig into more of her music, and more recent stuff, she has many levels to her voice, she can sing anything!

[@theresapatterson4329]

I love your reaction to Courtney!! She is a force nature! She has many fantastic performances on AGT- Papa's Got a Brand New Bag and River Deep Mountain High are 2 of my favorites! ❤

[@davidlocklear8738]

I had to watch You react AGAIN. So heart felt. So shockingly overwhelming with joy. Check Her first internet appearance out singing Christina Aguilera's "Say Something" at her schools open mic at age 11 in 2016.

[@rodneyholmes5908]

SUPER 🌟 of the 21st century

[@SubsNewar]

Courtney is the best artist I have come across after a very long time

[@wendykelly2926]

I have to say, i think i like your reaction to her the best. Yes, that is her voice, if you haven't already, you should check out all her AGT performances. Since you're a stage presence coach, i think you would be just as surprised by her other performances. This girl is a very rare talent indeed.

[@NazariusUkr]

Love your reaction ❤️

[@AvilaDreamer]

Lol - yeah, this girl was pretty amazing! And your shock was even better! Hugs, my friend! xo ✨🤗💕

[@kpadalldotablet1009]

Exactly my reaction when I first saw that video. I could not believe it. Her foot work on "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is amazing.

[@jackwade3440]

Jen, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to Courtney Hadwin's audition. Everybody was knocked sideways by her stage presence,Incredible singing ability and energy. Your reaction was second to none! , I would love to hear more reactio ns from youon the Courtney Hadwin bandwagon. Many thanks!

[@waynecoker7129]

please do many more reactions on COURTNEY like -- [ PAPAS GOT A BRAND NEW BAD ] & [ NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS ] on the voice in UK ! she was 12 years old ! [ RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH ] & [ OLD TOWN ROAD ] and so many more ! great reaction !

[@InterdimensionalWiz]

she is built for audiences of thousands, I'll be there!

[@jackmanbussey]

going ahead and say it , AWESOME , AND AWESOME !

[@barbaramorant6673]

She reminds me of a young Mick Jagger. Her powerful voice and her wild , jerky moves .

[@joseribamardasilva6873]

Courtney absolutely fantastic wonderful she is magnificent phenomenal

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

She has great stage presence imo. You should hear her now.

[@jackieforester2525]

She made me love music again

[@mikepearson8989]

Hello Janet from beautiful Daytona Beach, Florida ⛱️🏖️!! I saw this performance from Courtney a few years ago and was as "Shocked" as you were!! I've been reviewing reactors now for over a year and I really enjoy and learn alot from you guys. I recently subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more reactions from your channel. Thanks for reacting to this and be safe ☺️.

[@markbrownfield866]

You need to see her on agt champions singing her original "Pretty Little Thing". Her stage presence is even more outstanding.

[@sophistik000]

Freak and sublime........unique child.

[@billhinton9787]

You are talented and beautiful!!

[@sandyleewhite]

Sometimes music transports us to other dimensions, and my thought is, Courtney is transported to one, we don't even know about yet!!! 😊🙃😊She is truly in a league of her own 💝💝💝

[@eduardoguzman8552]

There is this video of her where she is at home and she is about to hear a Janice Joplin LP and the camera closes on the arm and all her hairs come to life. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@garymathis1042]

She ate the stage, chewed it up, and spit it out.

[@slongf15]

You definitely need to watch the rest for performances on AGT

[@podunkcitizen2562]

She certainly used the whole stage in a way most of Idol performers don't.

[@rayharley597]

You should do a video about the evolution of her performance from the moment she steps on to the stage here to when she returns a year later; not a champion but the biggest talent of all the performers. It'd be a fascinating video. kerk

[@hansgeorgwielinger8769]

Mind blowing! Thanks for Your reaction, Great! Love it!

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Bravo, it's a very good choose for you

[@chuckvisconti5713]

happy birthday Courtney you're 18 years old on July 7th

[@bertpainter8385]

Really the 6th

[@sandihumphries1010]

Listen to Courtney's cover of LOVE HURTS ❤

[@rivera-rodriguezcarmenines5091]

She is UNIQUE !!!

[@douglassmith532]

Jenna I absolutely love it when these young ladies are so good that they almost make you break down. I watched you react to what I think are 3 generational talents. You need to take in Courtney doing "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" on AGT to witness her chew up the stage. Then take in The Voice Kids UK where she is doing "Nutbush City Limits". I thought Angelina when she was doing "Go Easy on Me" broke you. It was really close. If you want to see that talent at an early age check her out at 9 yrs. old doing "I Put a Spell On You" You will be mesmerized. Finally take a look at Morissette on Sounds Stages doing "Defying Gravity" and "She Use To Be Mine". She sucks you into that world and never lets you go. She should have been in the movie version of "Wicked instead of Ariana Grande. Be Well

[@connie77]

You should check out Courtney doing ‘Sucker’, ‘Sign of the times’ and ‘Old town road’.

[@oscresson]

How genuine you are! That's how to put your whole self on the line. You are an example of what you're describing! And what's an original thought: she was heavy & indirect, instead of the usual heavy & direct, or light and indirect. Nice reaction! Here's a detail about how Courtney manages that: when she reaches a peak moment she raises her eyebrows. Most people lower their eyebrows in a frown at these points!

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Check her out on the Voice Kids UK, from before this, good stage presence there as well.

[@haroldyoung8174]

Loved your reaction same as mine when I first saw her. You should check when she returns for Champions edition even though she didn't win the first time. Much more powerful !!!

[@kurtsnyder4752]

Little walflower morphs into prime Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Acid Queen style.

[@williammoore5182]

Britain's kid talent was even better at 12 yrs old😊🎉🎉🎉

[@bertpainter8385]

Courtney's vocal coach, Julie Miles, who is pretty well known in the UK from Vocal Ovation and has been part of a few TV talent shows in the UK as judge and also helps find talents, has mentioned they would practice her performances 100's of time at her studio and then Courtney would go home to practice probably 100's of times more. for each performance. As you said she's like a pro and being she's been signed since she was 14, I guess you have to say she is a pro. If it weren't for COVID she'd already be a sought after artist. Some have commented about the way she uses her voice will harm it, but there's much information nowadays about that not being the case if properly trained to sing in that manner. Her coach assures that she is well versed and knows how to take care of her voice even when not singing. Part of Courtney's styles and stage presence is a combination of all the old school legends she idolized and learned from at an early age around 11, maybe earlier. Artists like Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Little Richard, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and many more have influenced her. She has improved so much in how she uses her vocals to manipulate the sounds she wants. It's amazing how someone so young can create the things she does. When she finally gets released to the public, I'm pretty sure we are going to see the next huge star. There will be many who won't like her style, but there will many more who will love her or will recognize her all around talent and diversity regardless if they like the songs she chooses to sing or not. I'm an old school classic rock guy myself, but when she sings songs like "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmqzmZxsjteaaM0 or "Someone you Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OchquZqM-Iia8 I'm in awe how she takes those 2 ballads and reinvents them into her own style. She's so adaptable. It's pretty amazing.

[@davidlocklear8738]

Great reaction. Loved it.

[@blairhunt1424]

Can't stop watching you!😊💓

[@ros8737]

Courtney Hadwin and Angelina Jordan, two small girls that auditioned but turned out to be bigger than the AGT show itself.

[@stephaniebondy3416]

Wow! I found someone who believes the same!!😊

[@Blue_Noah]

Courtney is an absolute revelation, I can't stop listening her performances at AGT 😍😍🔥🔥 Please take a look also to Amanda Mammana and Debbii Dawson.

[@MannyDC77]

You need to watch her next performance on AGT “Papa’s got a brand new bag” its excellent

[@mmcpa]

I know you were focusing on her stage presence, but you really need to look at the entire video of this from first coming on stage until when she left. It will truly highlight exactly what you are looking for - stage presence and how it comes out of a person you wouldn't expect it to.

[@martycech5844]

That! Is an Audition! Wow!

[@diehandgottes6721]

That was Janis Joplin Steil Known from the 60s maybe only us older still know But I recognized it directly even if I got to know her only after the death of her songs.

[@deanathomas60]

You should react to her doing Nutbush Bush City Limits on The Voice at age 12!!!

[@AquaGachaOfficial]

I really love to sing! But I never really sing in public often!

[@mikejaqua4604]

That "jaw hanging, open eyes popping out" reaction is so fun to watch. Just about everybody has it when they hear Courtney.

[@brettkliethermes8722]

your reaction was priceless

do you do any more reactions ? if you do please do more reactions on COURTNEY she is all over the internet ! tank you !

[@Stratos53100]

New to channel 2nd watch... clicked on Videos, and saw this & thought, ' Of Course you had to do this one... LMAO... And was Not disappointed....1st time i saw this on AGT i was like Woooh... heh She Literally transformed into another person...it was amazing. OMG is exactly what she said & everyone else.....LMAO again... From being an introvert to THAT is pure nuts.

[@jamesgilles6378]

Courtney has shocked in every performance. Would you be willing to check out "Papa's Got a brand New Bag" (James Brown)? Again, her stage presence is awesome. she starts the performance with an excellent vibrato and goes into the raspy deep voice you heard here. It would be great to see what you think of it.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Good reaction.

[@pg686830]

Two very great talents have emerged since the talent shows began. That's Angelina Jordan and Courtney Hadwin. But Courtney Hadwin stands out even more because she's a singe/songwriter. Just look at Pretty Little Thing's performance on AGT Champions, her live covers and her latest single Breakeble.

[@boblawrence3861]

You forgot Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Adam Lambert

[@markwatkins-d7s]

She is special!!!

[@jamespalma3311]

She performs like she's in her bedroom in front of an imaginary audience. So much fun to watch her perform!
