Dude, love it when I see someone get knocked back the same way I was when I saw this girl make this song into so much more. You're right, she owned it? Edit: watched this review multiple times. You have great expressions that always happen right on time and an appreciation for old-school grit and soul. But my favorite moment in this reaction was at about 5:03, that head shake smile. The smile that happens after you witness something that brings joy and amazement. The kind of smile a roller coaster fanatic has as the cars pull into the dock when the ride is over and the adrenaline dopamine rush is subsiding..."yeah, that was a good ride!". Mic drop required!
Hi HCR. I think Courtney needs to copyright the following sentence: 'NEVER WANT TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL AGAIN'. It gets said over and over by so many people on virtually every cover Courtney sings. Once she takes any song, no matter how popular, and 'Courterizes it, you can generally bury the original forever, because they just can't compete with what Courtney does to it. You are so right. They just don't make voices like this any more, nor styles. Courtney's style of passion, intensity and emotion has so long been forgotten by most of music until now. Courtney will show everyone how great music was meant to be sung. Once her album of originals drops, it will be epic and Courtney will be a household name across the globe. Three more fabulous covers by Courtney for future reactions. Say goodbye to the originals: Courtney Hadwin - Sign of the Times: th-cam.com/video/x9Phi6Yrg2k/w-d-xo.html Courtney Hadwin - Someone You Loved: th-cam.com/video/eR9UxcsjUSM/w-d-xo.html Courtney Hadwin - What's Love Got To Do With It: th-cam.com/video/wPYeT5xmGbg/w-d-xo.html
great reaction ! please do much more reactions on COURTNEY ! like - [ NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS on the VOICE in the UK ] & [ WHO'S LOVING YOU ] & [ FALLING IN LOVE ] & [ I FEEL GOOD ON THE VOICE IN THE UK ] & [ MAN IN THE MIRROR ] & [ STAND BY ME ] SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAM GOOD !
She's like a mix of Ann Wilson and Janice Joplin with some Joan Jett performances attitude sprinkled on top. She was working on an album pre lockdown so I hope they've been able to restart that project.
That mic drop was the end of the 4-cover-song EP recording session, where she demonstrated much more of the range and variety of vocal styles she can use, including her beautiful voice, lovely falsetto, and gritty growly Rock Queen vocals. So it did double duty at the end of this song. WELL DONE!!
# ( shes better then the original ) i dare to say the chemistry and creativity on the silver screen, and on stage may be better then the original artist on , stage herself , lara 621 find it .
Hey Paul come back to Courtney Hadwin fans. We want more Courtney. Pleeeaase!!! Try another look she has with a much softer side with these ballads. "Someone You Loved" th-cam.com/video/eR9UxcsjUSM/w-d-xo.html "Sigh of the Times" th-cam.com/video/x9Phi6Yrg2k/w-d-xo.html
I only ask, because you were so so appreciated when you reacted to her 2 months ago. We all had you on the top of the reactors list and were looking forward to so much more. If you are having problems with copyright issues for some of her studio quality videos, there's many more that are just as bad ass to react to. Like this one from her home. "Me and Bobby McGee" th-cam.com/video/6IhFrgQEnFo/w-d-xo.html
Just the best in the world this at 14 ...Courtz album when it drops is going to go world Wide she is the Queen of Rock 21st Century.....Super Super STAR ....she is UNSTOPABLE.....🐶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎶🎶💿⚘😍 Love your Reactions 🙂
This to me thus far in her career is the best example of what she will bring to the table in her career. She absolutely owned this song, and Lil Nas X's version is lost.
Yes, it's pure example how by crap song make great song. You must see her performance at AGT "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" by James Brown. Crazy unbelievable!
I really enjoy your reactions : I hope you will consider reacting to Courtney's cover of the songs ( sign of the times ) or ( someone you loved ) as these 2 songs showcase a different softer side of Courtney that you have not seen yet. Not only can she rock a song but she can also melt your heart with her softer type ballad songs.
Ohww F!Yeah That mic-drop at the end and her turn to walk away ! 🙌🙌🙌🤘🤘🤘 she is such a Queen I love her ! You are so right when you said " they don't make singers like that anymore " .. WE NEED MORE OF THEM !
It takes years for British musicians to break in to the American, but Courtney has already done that at the of 14. She's gonna go far in her career, good luck to her
Me too. When I 1st heard the original I had no idea it was the longest number 1 hit ever. I can't understand what people are into today to make it such a big hit. Most everyone who comments on this says Courtney blows the original away, as she does with all her creations to covers.
@@sueboatfield4330 As did I back when it was #1. I only heard about it when Courtney did her cover. I really only started listening to music again on TH-cam because of Courtney when she was on AGT
Courtney is amazing. Have you heard of or reacted to the sister act named Larkin Poe? If not, then you need to check them out. Bluesy, soulful Americana rock at it's best.
I try to check on new suggestion when people mention blues or rock. And you were right!!! Those two are awesome. A real throw back to old school music with attitude. Love them 2 girls. Thanks
What in the world happened to you doing Courtney hardwin you did two of them you never seen her on stage I think you need to do one of her America's got talent he's a pretty little thing or deep River mountain deep River mountain might show you her stage presence better pretty little thing will show you her original songs when she was 14 man
Hi HCR, Thanks for your amazing reaction to Courtney’s “Old Town Road”. I agree this is Courtney’s song now, so improved from the original. I listened to the original once for comparisons sake. I wasn’t really impressed with the original, couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Just not my vibe I guess. But Courtney’s version with her unparalleled voice and styling is quite another thing all together. I loved watching the expressions on your face as Courtney surprised you all over again. Great reaction! I’m not sure if anyone has requested this song before, so I am going to go ahead. The name of it is “Love Hurts” by Miss Li who is a Swedish singer and songwriter who Courtney was working with not long after she was on AGT. This is NOT the Nazareth one, totally different one. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/bqZjDRXyxOo/w-d-xo.html Just so you know this is audio only that she recorded while in Sweden. It is shown as a clip (but full song) on an Instagram livestream. It will blow you away. While there’s no visual it will AMAZE you and the voice is undeniably Courtney.
#AGT Champions here's the link to the America got talent Champions Courtney hardwin if you get a chance check it out watch out she uses the stage and it's an original song at 14
Courtney takes songs, that I wouldn't listen to twice. And turns them into something I can't get enough of! A lot of people, try to say. She's Janice Joplin or Tina Turner reincarnated! No... She's Courtney Hadwin! An original! She is just as amazing as those artists! It's like great guitarist. They have their influences, but, they do it their own way!
Just for a reference point, Roy, what is your musical cup of tea? I'm always intrigued to find out about the 2% of responders who like something besides Courtney.
@@rickrhoden1 I appreciate everything from Beethoven to Thrash Metal and a lot of stuff in between. My greatest passion is classic country/western music because of the storytelling aspects in it. I have recently gotten reengaged with the current music scene thanks to some of the very young rock bands starting to emerge on the scene. Courtney seems passionate with what she does, but her delivery hits me as manufactured and a bit forced, like she is trying too hard. I have not followed her career at all, but I do not wish her ill. I seem to recall her performing an original piece during her karaoke competition. Has she continued to write?
@@roywall8169 Courtney indeed is showing a real flair for songwriting, mostly heard so far on her social media. The only fully produced original on TH-cam is Pretty Little Thing she performed on AGT Champions that aired in early 2019, and it's great. She has a debut album under contract with Sony, greatly delayed by the pandemic. It should be most or all originals and should drop later this year. I was interested to hear you are liking some recent contemporary rock, because I and millions of her fans think Courtney will be in the vanguard of that musical movement. She was one of the few novices invited to Woodstock50, which unfortunately was canceled for financial insufficiency. So I guess the different take from myself and others on this thread is hearing Courtney's style as being the opposite of forced; to paraphrase her many reactors, her delivery is very original, emotional, passionate and dynamic. Perhaps her vocals are so dynamic in comparison, it seems forced to you, but to me that's the essence of rock and related genres. I will say Courtney does work and try very hard,, but that's what great performers do. She has many types of songs in her repertoire but all have her signature voicings. I hope you will listen to her some more, but, as always, to each his/her own.
@@rickrhoden1 I will check it out when it drops. I haven’t heard anything from her I would call rock (I see her more as a folk/pop act), but there are so many sub genres that she could fit in with rock somewhere. I prefer driving three piece bands when it comes to rock. Budgie, Cream, Motorhead, ZZ Top etc, and a young band called The Warning is a particular obsession of mine. It will be interesting to hear what Courtney comes up with, being backed by a label.
@@roywall8169 Cream and ZZTop are also 2 favorites. In fact, ZZ is playing in the Jackson area soon, now that the pandemic has lessened. Courtney did nothing but rock/R&B on 2018 AGT: Steppenwolf, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, James Brown, Otis Redding/Black Crowes. Her original, Pretty Little Thing was rock but a bit poppy, which is why Courtney and her label haven't promoted it--she isn't a fan of most pop. She has a great but short snippet of Sweet Child of Mine on IG (or TikTok?). Most consider her version of Old Town Road as rock (although it's definitely not grunge/trash/super heavy metal which are not my favorite types of rock).
She is the new queen of rock!
Hope to hear her music on air and see her on stage in future!
We love Courtney. She is bringing soul back to music...
Mic drop APPROVED !!!
That was a wonderful mic drop!!! She was awesome! She was great on America’s Got Talent!! She has grown up more.
SUPER STAR OF THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY
PRETTY LITTLE THING

She took this song and added a bottle of hot sauce, this is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Courtney used to be such a shy girl, of course when she starts to sing it all changes! This young lady is going places...
That girl is beyond amazing 💙

She's like a mix of Ann Wilson and Janice Joplin with some Joan Jett performances attitude sprinkled on top.
She was working on an album pre lockdown so I hope they've been able to restart that project.
She turned it from a "whatever that's a song." To "THAT'S A FUCKING SONG!"
That mic drop was the end of the 4-cover-song EP recording session, where she demonstrated much more of the range and variety of vocal styles she can use, including her beautiful voice, lovely falsetto, and gritty growly Rock Queen vocals. So it did double duty at the end of this song. WELL DONE!!
She just blows my mind !
She done rode that horse 'till she couldn't no more!!!!!!!!!
Magnetic deep brilliant
Amazing
Gritty Rock! She’s a Rockstar.
What did she turn it in to??? A freakin rock anthem. That's what.
It's amazing how much talent in a 14 year old
Watch Courtney do. " Love Hurts" it's unbeleavable
Courtney can take a junk song and turn it into a magic carpet ride!! Can't beat her, no matter what she sings!!!
You have experienced the Hadwin Affect
She tour that song up
Try Courtney hardwin pretty little thing AGT the champions thanks man
She's great ! You need to hear an original called "Pretty Little Thing "
👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍💖💖💖
Her style of SINGING was extinct, but it has been RESURRECTED!!!!!!!!!!
Young Janis Joplin voice it's awesome
# ( shes better then the original ) i dare to say the chemistry and creativity on the silver screen, and on stage may be better then the original artist on , stage herself , lara 621 find it .
and then... she drops the mic!
'nuff said!
This was a mix of country and rr
This was anatempt at country rap song they just made a crab song thank you courtney
Hey Paul come back to Courtney Hadwin fans. We want more Courtney. Pleeeaase!!!
Try another look she has with a much softer side with these ballads.
"Someone You Loved" th-cam.com/video/eR9UxcsjUSM/w-d-xo.html
"Sigh of the Times" th-cam.com/video/x9Phi6Yrg2k/w-d-xo.html

Courtney just wen’t nb 2 with her 4’th song on ITunes Australia Niels G DK
This guy critiquing your songs is killing you. He keeps stopping your music to make his comments.
Courtney the new "Rock Queen" period.. end of story!!
She is the only person I know that’s a rock legend without releasing a single album! Can’t wait til she does! Global superstar in waiting!
Just the best in the world this at 14 ...Courtz album when it drops is going to go world Wide she is the Queen of Rock 21st Century.....Super Super STAR ....she is UNSTOPABLE.....🐶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎶🎶💿⚘😍
Love your Reactions 🙂
I’d love to see Courtney do a cover of Janis Joplin : Cry Baby because IMHO Courtney is better than JJ. She has JJ’s soul but better!
This to me thus far in her career is the best example of what she will bring to the table in her career. She absolutely owned this song, and Lil Nas X's version is lost.
Yes, it's pure example how by crap song make great song. You must see her performance at AGT "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" by James Brown. Crazy unbelievable!

This girl is going to be huge. Her cover of "Sign of the times" is terrific too.
Queen rocker of the world!
As usual she takes a song and makes it 100 times better
Ohww F!Yeah That mic-drop at the end and her turn to walk away ! 🙌🙌🙌🤘🤘🤘 she is such a Queen I love her ! You are so right when you said " they don't make singers like that anymore " .. WE NEED MORE OF THEM !
Just like you said. That's how it's done. To take a crappy song and redo it so it can be listened to.
It takes years for British musicians to break in to the American, but Courtney has already done that at the of 14. She's gonna go far in her career, good luck to her
Yes, this is something else completely, on a whole new level.
This isn't a cover of this song, it's a total remake and makes it great.
Totally agree with you
Love your reaction! I feel the same.....God given sizzling Grit to the voice of an angel with her halo tilted a snich.
The song is sooooooooooooo anoying.....Courtney makes it cool 😍
I heard her version of this song 1st then checked out the original and I'm with you, I never want to hear the original again.
Me too. When I 1st heard the original I had no idea it was the longest number 1 hit ever. I can't understand what people are into today to make it such a big hit. Most everyone who comments on this says Courtney blows the original away, as she does with all her creations to covers.
@@bertpainter8385 Maybe it wasn't as big a hit in Australia or maybe I just don't listen the radio enough , but I completely missed the original.

This is way beyond superb!!!
Reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin. Excellent voice and strength! Much character.
MAD MAD guitar work ! AMEN ! I don't know who he is, but he makes that Gibson sound NASTY !
His name is Lael Goldberg, and he is a highly respected international session musician.
@@BrentOlsen appreciate the info ------- I can see why he's an in-demand session player
