The only thing I can't understand is how many people keep saying ",She's not shy. .. she's just pretending!" without understanding its very possible that she's shy... UNTIL she does her thing! I find her to be amazingly talented and unique...
You can compare her shedding her shyness to a singer who stutters, like Mel Tillis. Mel stutters uncontrollably while talking but when he sings he is incredibly smooth.
Absolutely outstanding performance. This young girl is very talented. To give a performance like that at that age is mind blowing. She performed as if she was in her front room at home. If she has the right advise and a little bit of luck the world is her oyster. Best of luck girl!!.
It is so refreshing to see a unique talented young singer with courage and fortitude to be her own person and lay her soul out for all to witness and not be a common cookie cutter replica of others on the musical scene today. Mel B unaware, stated if quite prophetically when told her quote ," go for it, you are here for a reason", and then set back and witness the reason right in front of her eyes. Courtney is here to fill the spot left open by Janis Joplin, which was filled for a while by Tina Turner and now Courtney Hadwin has quite eloquently filled that spot for all the world to enjoy. Don't change Courtney the world loves you as you are a breath of fresh air in the musical world!
You two are among the best reactors to this audition because you are real. So many others look like they have watched the video before and planned how they would react/comment at certain points. Thank you for a great reaction video and keep up the good work!
Great reaction! I did the same when I saw this ‘old soul’ reincarnation of rocker Janis Joplin, with dance moves like James Brown. Courtz can win this! PLEASE react to her again when she performs in the quarterfinals! That should start on August 14, and run for 3 weeks. Simon Cowell owns both AGT and BGT, which is why you see this mix of judges. He often seeks talent from other countries to fill his shows. She did really well last year on The Voice Kids UK, coming in second place, so he likely knew who she was and invited her to audition. Back in the ‘60s, Joplin was called the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll’ and was the biggest superstar of that era’s counter-culture movement. This young lady might spark a renaissance of Rock! I love the way she moves/dances in an awkwardly charming way. It's like that movie scene where Forest Gump dances in his leg braces. Her dad says she spends a lot of time practicing James Brown's stage movements, and it shows in her own performances. It’s gonna be hard to wait for her next appearance on AGT! FYI: Courtney has deeply introverted shyness (social anxiety disorder), but breaks out to express herself when she has a mic in her hand. This is pretty common: Michael Jackson was the same way. Some haters say her shyness/performer transition is all a cynical act…. not so! Also FYI: She says she may be immigrating to the US because the UK doesn’t ‘get’ her music. There’s not much keeping her in the UK; it’s said that her father is unemployed. Courtney has spent the last two years busking across the country in order to raise money to fund her singing (other buskers ask her to move on because she sucks up all the attention! LOL). I think she would do great in America, both financially and professionally, because we have a deeper cultural/historical appreciation for the likes of Joplin and Brown.
First she came out really shy tho but when she opens her mouth its completely different side of story. Whoever that girl was she came out and she made business!!! Wow!! What in the world!! I am SHOOKT !!! 👏👏
I'm been watching all of the vedios I can get a hold of are beloved super star COURTNEY HADWIN ,watching the reaction vedios , there is a large segment of the viewer population that when she performs she Catches us in her net ,we are captivated, we adore her ,we love her. No matter what. !!! We are all under her spell and we love it !! PLEASE continue to let the energy flow through you Courtney its on a high genus level "" OUT OF SIGHT " "you are a force of nature " from a Sony manager keep your focused Courtney LET THE ENERGY CONTINUE TO SHINE !!! Remember you said "it's so much fun " that's what you're giving to us. We love you !!!
Loved your thoughtful commentary and genuine reactions. U knew and mentioned Janis Joplin during her performance...which is who Courtney reminded me of right away. Courtney was electrifying and made me emotional. She was AWESOME and should have a really bright future.
M-Angel and Ovela, you two are my favorite reaction video producers. Awesome job covering this young talent. I don't believe her shyness is an act at all. I think she holds a massive talent in a modest and shy 13-year-old personality. Amazing how she can morph into this incredible talent. She's the next big thing.
Her 1st Blind Audition on Voice Kids UK of Tina Turners Proud Mary is one of the best Cover Versions & DANCE Performances I've EVER seen! Absolutely Unique! Ever better rhan this Audition for me! 😮😮😮
HEY!!!! Thanks so much for reacting to Courtney. She has an incredible/unique talent and style. She sings like Janis Joplin and moves like Mick Jagger. Although she is shy, she is a tremendous performer. She was in the Voice Kids UK. If her other performances resonates with America like this, she has a great chance of winning. She deserved that golden buzzer. COULD YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO FLAU'JAE's audition on AGT. So far you've reacted to Courtney and Jeffrey Li. Simon said she was his favorite audition and believed that her career began on her audition. If he had not already used his golden buzzer, he or Mel B would have pressed their golden buzzer for her. She came with an important powerful message. She should be supported as well. She didn't get a golden buzzer but she was great. Thanks so much Chai-Yehovah
I love to watch people's reaction videos to this performance. Their expressions are priceless. You did not disappoint. She didn't win, but that was actually a good thing. Winning would have activated the contract that binds winners; instead, she was able to sign a much better deal. And let's face it: by this point, she really didn't need to win.
You wanted to hear her singing some songs that’s not performed or high notes. She dropped 4 of them just for the fans that wanted them. There on her U-Tube page just download and see this teen has the pipes to do any song that will send you chills.
I was totally amazed that she didn't win either time she was on the show, but has gone on to get signed by Simon Cowell's label, and sounds even better today if that is possible. As she gets further and further am excited to see her do more of her original songs, which she actually does later in the season.
She didn't do any original music on the show. That came later on AGT Champions shw had written several original songs. Sony was really picky about her songs. The songs she wrote for albums she couldn't perform elsewhere even TH-cam. Sony wanted another album of covers but Courtney wanted to release an album of originals. I'm not sure what label she is with right now.
Your reaction on the first part is classic..lol. I felt the same way when I saw her. She is by far the best new artist I've seen in years. She is one in a billion talent and very entertaining. She grabs you and holds on until the end of the performance. Not many artists can do this....I'm a fan!!! I agree, send everyone home now and crown her....
A lot of people are dissing her for one reason or another. I think what matters is her talent. I can't stop watching her. Viewed this particular performance over 20 times. She's 13 and I wonder what she'll be like in her 20s. Hope I live to see her!
when they showed the clip before her performance She Has social anxiety where she is very quite around her classmate & Strangers. Her Dad said she only comfortable when she's Singing & playing with Her Siblings.
+Wesley Noggle yeah it might, you know Beyonce Suffered from this most of her life. They said she was always quite & Shy around strangers unless she was performing in front of them. I think she's kinda overcame it a bit since getting married & becoming a Mom and Michael Jackson Suffered FROM this Also but Michael had other problems too.....Basically what I'm saying is People with Social anxiety are Amazing Talents when doing Something They Love & feel comfortable doing..My thing was Sports it help me a lot
She is this sweet little typical 13 Y/O gal and then she starts singing and you get this wise old smart ass soul coming through. Wow this little gal has been given the gold talent and I love her choice for her audition. She does seem to be channeling the Greats.
For AGT it’s the only reality show that allows international acts to audition and the show provides the performer and the family visas for however long they will stay for the show.
There is no restriction on where the contestants come from. Recently Britain's Got Talent was won by "Attraction" a Hungarian shadow theatre company, Alienette Coldfire (Fillippino) came 3rd in France Got Talent. This girl came 2nd in The Voice Kids (UK) last year, which clashed with the Britain's Got Talent, even she couldn't be in two places at once. Her Dad (yes that is her Dad) is unemployed, not uncommon in the area they live in. But this meant they could not afford the singing lessons she desperately wanted, so this brave kid went busking on the streets to raise the cash to pay for the lessons. Her Dad has now dedicated his time to supporting her in her music career. They are a close knit family. She comes from an area around the town of Hartlepool in the North of England . As for the change from timid to powerhouse, don't forget Michael Jackson, who was often physically sick prior to going on stage but once on stage the Jackson we knew took control. I love that northern accent "thank yoo soo mooch" Is she going to win, who knows but if she does then that will be three years on the trot winners, 12 or 13 year old girls.
les cox her singing lessons were taught by Julie from vocal ovation (in actually good friends with Julie so I see most the up n coming artists at gigs)
les cox Thanks, I already knew all that but I couldn't had write it better.. great Information and you should try to copy/Paste everywere you can, because ppl should know her story. Thanks again ☺☺☺
"so this brave kid went busking on the streets to raise the cash to pay for the lessons." This info made me not just an admirer but it raised the respect-o-meter too and not just a little. With great talent comes great sacrifice from the lowest pit to the highest peak, she knows about that too. Another phenomenon which is less common these days, apart from her voice.
The name of these shows is a fraud. The name should be: _America's Got Just Another International Talent Show_ _Britain's Got Just Another International Talent Show_ _Asia's Got Just Another International Talent Show_ _Qatar's Got Just Another International Talent Show_ _Ancient Mesopotamia's Got Just Another International Talent Show_ ... etc. ...
Even here in France we heard about her craaaazzzy performance ! Hope she will go far far with the stars, the pulsars, the quasars ... Shes jaw dropping goooood ... h&k from France
I get sheer chills of joy when I repeatedly watch Courtney get the golden buzzer. Think of how she’s spent her life, practicing, learning, devoting her time to get where she’s at now, while the rest of us just wasted our youth running amuck playing and causing chaos😹
Technically not hiding. Shy yes. But who does not know ppl who are different on stage. Last year there was this ventriloquist Darci Lynn. How quickly ppl forget
she is ALL in ONE!!!!!!!amazing!!!!she is an 13 years old body but in her is an ancient ..old soul!!!!!!WOOOW!!!!!!she is a blesed one...talented..pure..innocent....honest...uncorrupted..beautiful heart.....uniq!!!!!!!!yesssss!!!love her!!!!!!!!
I love this performance; Dances like Mick Jagger, sings like Janis Joplin while performing an original song from Otis Redding (later covered by the Black Crowes.)
Hi guys, Courtney Hadwin really is that shy. And has some social anxiety disorder. But, when she starts performing. She's like this other person. But this is not the first time she's been on these types of shows. Last year she was in The Voice Kids UK Final. Didn't win tho. And in 2016 she was a Grand Finalist in Open Mic UK singing Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor. Her Voice Kids UK Audition and other performances are on TH-cam. She is good.
Leonard Simmers she's fake. I watched her the voice stint and not a single sign of that "anxiety". It's just a drama. and she got the golden buzzer for that. without the drama, she don't deserve the golden buzzer. Glennis deserves it a lot better
Wow she's a very very very good singer. In some way I can see KZ Tandingan in her. Like when she's singing she's going to a different persona. I am really in awe.👏👏👏
lowkey wish they had reacted to darci lynne at some point. she won the 2017 agt. for her finale she sang with _two_ puppets using _two_ completely different voices (one being male) _with her mouth closed,_ and she did it all while hitting every note _perfectly._ it's honestly unfathomable, the talent she has
She’s been on voice kids uk. But on Britain’s got talent we get people auditioning from all over the world! From Philippines, Vietnam, France, America, Canada etc! 👍🏽
I'm married to a Singer and I can tell you that artists often have a very different personae on stage and in real life. Like how some people don't stutter when they sing or how a super shy person can shine like that. It's weird and beautiful to see. Both of those personalities are the same person.
You two looked shocked. She was not in a trans state. She was letting them know she’s ready. This girl Courtney is s true natural in her comfort zone singing. She been singing since she was eleven I think. I love the girl. Just awesome . She has many videos of herself. Courtney is going places. She’s just herself, not acting.
Even older, more seasoned, performers take a moment to get it together; doesn't make it 'transcendental! Whatever 'we' call it, I'm glad she knows how to get herself into the moment and, THEN, nod to cue the music. Good for her!
Disagree with you; When she lowered her head she entered a state that set her up for her performance; call it what you will but she went somewhere else private to her;
Courtney and her dad said they travelled to the US to audition for agt instead of bgt cuz most brits “don’t get her.” She obviously came to the right place. WE get her!!!! We LOVE her!!!!!!
Not acting some people preform music others live it are it in every pore . They are very rare to find don't insult Her who would teach her to preform like that ?
AGT is now open to not just Americans but to the rest of the world just like X-Factor UK 🇬🇧 Asia’s Got Talent Season 2 winner “Sacred Riana” from Indonesia 🇮🇩 joined AGT this season. Her talent was spooky magic (always is). You can search all her performances why she won Asia’s Got Talent last year (2017). Her audition in Asia’s Got Talent though is quite similar to her America’s Got Talent’s audition. A tittle changes but enough to surprise the world who haven’t watch any of her performances and still for those who’s in Asia also get excited to watch.
Courtney Hadwin's possible competition later in the competition may be 12 year old American Diana Donatella who was runner up in the 2017 German version of the Voice Kids Germany. Watch her initial 3 minute 10 second version of Whitney Houston's song Run to you.
I re-watch your reaction every now again. As of today (six days or so after her unbelievable Quarter final (where is your reaction)) this audition, in its first 9 weeks has acquired over 200 million views (100 million more than the nearest best number for that period of time. Her latest outing is getting 1 million hits a day. Without tour/record release Courtney is already a star.
No one expected what happened. Many people have heard 'Hard to Handle' by the Black Crowes. Most do not know it was originally sung by Otis Redding. As far as I know, Janis Joplin never sang this song. Well, until this show. This shy kid settled herself, found her groove and then OWNED a stage, an audience and four judges. Wherever she is, Janis Joplin is smiling!
This was a really good review by a couple of people that seem to work really well together. Courtney will win the show but it will be great to watch her grow as she inches closer. She is as unique as Grace or even Darci if they would let her put the puppets down.
People are shocked that you have not reviewed Courtney Hadwin's cover of "Sucker" or "Sign of the times". She transformed those to songs and made them better. She made the weak song Sucker by the Jonis Brothers into a legendary kick as rock ballad!
Well, Simon is the owner of the show and owner of many similar shows around the world, specially The Voice Kid UK, where Courtney was finalist in 2017. So, no way Simon is surprised. But she is really shy when not singing, like Michael Jackson, Jess Stone and many great singers, even Janis Joplin.
This woman talking about Simon looking at the girl as a pot of dollars... talking about the girl's dad hugging her (such a beautful scene) like the guy being a rappist or something like that... and when the guy had the sensibility to see that Simon is really glad about the talent of Courtney, the woman just picks her own hair and talk about "mediocre people". She is so mean and cynical about everything that ruins the video. Anyway... like how impressed the guy was with her transformation... I was just like that when I saw the audition. And, at the same little dancing time I said the same thing "She is so cute!". (sorry for the bad english... tears!)
This song is originally by Otis Redding, "Too Hard to Handle". It is a very difficult song that she made look easy. It was also sung by the Black Crows. I know you have looked at her other stuff, but I hope you check out her original more recent songs like Breakable, That Girl Don't Live Here, Call Me Back, Monsters, and Christmas Rocks. Try to compare this to those.
this si to all the comments about her acting/pretending to be shy. She is not if you look at her after she has preformed she snaps back into shy I know from experience that some performers are so shy and scare that they actually vomit before going on stage but when they start preforming they go to another place (not just talking about singers) when they have finished some do not even know what they did its only when the clapping starts that they snap out of it. She is one such soul.
Over 65% are smitten with Hadwin. Girl has gone viral online. Check her out on The Voice Kids 2017 where she got 2nd place (lost), but do check out her rendition of Tina Turner Nutbush City Limit.
Reaction vids have been my go-to happy place of late, and this is a perfect example as to why. You guys are just awesome with your insight and your emotion, and it put a huge smile on my face. Watching this totally made my day. Thank you. (As an aside, I’d love to see you guys react to another AGT act, We Three, who sang an original song for their audition, or Sam Perry's version of "When Doves Cry" for the Voice Australia.)
The only thing I can't understand is how many people keep saying ",She's not shy. .. she's just pretending!" without understanding its very possible that she's shy... UNTIL she does her thing! I find her to be amazingly talented and unique...
Heather Mefford agree!! It' s just like she entered another world when she sing ☺
Go look at her interview videos and you will see she is very shy.
Agreed; lack of knowledge is a terrible thing; these folks cannot separated social discourse facility from Performance capabilities.
Agreed.
You can compare her shedding her shyness to a singer who stutters, like Mel Tillis. Mel stutters uncontrollably while talking but when he sings he is incredibly smooth.
I saw her audition and I see Janis Joplin dancing like Mick Jagger... Mind blown...
Right😄😄
I'm seeing Janis Joplin and James Brown love child.
@@scottsingleton2093 She sang a James Brown song, on BGT..Amazing!
I think she has studied James Brown videos. Cool kid
She is totally unfiltered when she performs which is awesome.
Absolutely outstanding performance. This young girl is very talented. To give a performance like that at that age is mind blowing. She performed as if she was in her front room at home. If she has the right advise and a little bit of luck the world is her oyster. Best of luck girl!!.
It is so refreshing to see a unique talented young singer with courage and fortitude to be her own person and lay her soul out for all to witness and not be a common cookie cutter replica of others on the musical scene today.
Mel B unaware, stated if quite prophetically when told her quote ," go for it, you are here for a reason", and then set back and witness the reason right in front of her eyes. Courtney is here to fill the spot left open by Janis Joplin, which was filled for a while by Tina Turner and now Courtney Hadwin has quite eloquently filled that spot for all the world to enjoy. Don't change Courtney the world loves you as you are a breath of fresh air in the musical world!
Her voice kids audition is equally amazing. Also, she clearly has autism from her shy nature and way of talking, but makes up for it with such talent.
"Everyone else can Go Home!".. haha
Other than shin lim xD
...she is adorable :) love her...for being so herself and different from 1 million others on that stage! I cheer for her with all my heart!
Love yourr comments ! We can all agree COURTNEY is jusr adorable !!
You two are among the best reactors to this audition because you are real. So many others look like they have watched the video before and planned how they would react/comment at certain points. Thank you for a great reaction video and keep up the good work!
I can't stop watching this video she blows my mind and when I read her story it makes her singing that much more amazing
This is my favorite reaction video to Courtney
Yay! 😁
Great reaction! I did the same when I saw this ‘old soul’ reincarnation of rocker Janis Joplin, with dance moves like James Brown. Courtz can win this! PLEASE react to her again when she performs in the quarterfinals! That should start on August 14, and run for 3 weeks.
Simon Cowell owns both AGT and BGT, which is why you see this mix of judges. He often seeks talent from other countries to fill his shows. She did really well last year on The Voice Kids UK, coming in second place, so he likely knew who she was and invited her to audition.
Back in the ‘60s, Joplin was called the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll’ and was the biggest superstar of that era’s counter-culture movement. This young lady might spark a renaissance of Rock!
I love the way she moves/dances in an awkwardly charming way. It's like that movie scene where Forest Gump dances in his leg braces. Her dad says she spends a lot of time practicing James Brown's stage movements, and it shows in her own performances.
It’s gonna be hard to wait for her next appearance on AGT!
FYI: Courtney has deeply introverted shyness (social anxiety disorder), but breaks out to express herself when she has a mic in her hand. This is pretty common: Michael Jackson was the same way. Some haters say her shyness/performer transition is all a cynical act…. not so!
Also FYI: She says she may be immigrating to the US because the UK doesn’t ‘get’ her music. There’s not much keeping her in the UK; it’s said that her father is unemployed. Courtney has spent the last two years busking across the country in order to raise money to fund her singing (other buskers ask her to move on because she sucks up all the attention! LOL). I think she would do great in America, both financially and professionally, because we have a deeper cultural/historical appreciation for the likes of Joplin and Brown.
Before she sang : She is nervous
When she starts singing : (⊙ ロ ⊙)!!!
Just like Prince and Michael Jackson. They are both shy and on fire on stage
First she came out really shy tho but when she opens her mouth its completely different side of story. Whoever that girl was she came out and she made business!!! Wow!! What in the world!! I am SHOOKT !!! 👏👏
I'm been watching all of the vedios I can get a hold of are beloved super star COURTNEY HADWIN ,watching the reaction vedios , there is a large segment of the viewer population that when she performs she Catches us in her net ,we are captivated, we adore her ,we love her. No matter what. !!! We are all under her spell and we love it !! PLEASE continue to let the energy flow through you Courtney its on a high genus level "" OUT OF SIGHT " "you are a force of nature " from a Sony manager keep your focused Courtney LET THE ENERGY CONTINUE TO SHINE !!! Remember you said "it's so much fun " that's what you're giving to us. We love you !!!
Loved your thoughtful commentary and genuine reactions. U knew and mentioned Janis Joplin during her performance...which is who Courtney reminded me of right away. Courtney was electrifying and made me emotional. She was AWESOME and should have a really bright future.

Can't Wait to see her évolution
She blew me away the first time and then again with this performance. Never saw anything like this or like her. showing love.
she is like a reincarnation of Janice Joplin.
Oh......hell........yeah!!!! LOL
Joplin + James Brown= Courtney Hadwin
I watched this many times on various different YT channels and I cried every single time. It's just so beautiful. Courtney is fantastic!
Her 1st Blind Audition on Voice Kids UK of Tina Turners Proud Mary is one of the best Cover Versions & DANCE Performances I've EVER seen! Absolutely Unique! Ever better rhan this Audition for me! 😮😮😮
HEY!!!! Thanks so much for reacting to Courtney. She has an incredible/unique talent and style. She sings like Janis Joplin and moves like Mick Jagger. Although she is shy, she is a tremendous performer. She was in the Voice Kids UK. If her other performances resonates with America like this, she has a great chance of winning. She deserved that golden buzzer.
COULD YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO FLAU'JAE's audition on AGT. So far you've reacted to Courtney and Jeffrey Li.
Simon said she was his favorite audition and believed that her career began on her audition. If he had not already used his golden buzzer, he or Mel B would have pressed their golden buzzer for her. She came with an important powerful message. She should be supported as well. She didn't get a golden buzzer but she was great.
Thanks so much

100% "FLOW" ... the music, voice, movements, presence ... it all just flawlessly flows .... nothing forced, perfection is as perfect does.
I was totally amazed that she didn't win either time she was on the show, but has gone on to get signed by Simon Cowell's label, and sounds even better today if that is possible.

that's what I thought; my son has it to and it's very similar
ther is med for that but it might take away this gift
+Wesley Noggle yeah it might, you know Beyonce Suffered from this most of her life. They said she was always quite & Shy around strangers unless she was performing in front of them. I think she's kinda overcame it a bit since getting married & becoming a Mom and Michael Jackson Suffered FROM this Also but Michael had other problems too.....Basically what I'm saying is People with Social anxiety are Amazing Talents when doing Something They Love & feel comfortable doing..My thing was Sports it help me a lot

Courtney's album is on sell at Amazon.
I get sheer chills of joy when I repeatedly watch Courtney get the golden buzzer. Think of how she’s spent her life, practicing, learning, devoting her time to get where she’s at now, while the rest of us just wasted our youth running amuck playing and causing chaos😹
OMG! A shy girl hiding an incredible talent..awesome!
Luz Lopez shy? Nah maybe a good actress and pretender. To come by a surprise
Technically not hiding. Shy yes. But who does not know ppl who are different on stage.
Last year there was this ventriloquist Darci Lynn. How quickly ppl forget
hotstuff400 You really need to understand how anxiety works.
This kid is the voice kids in UK finals and Everytime she sing is like she is not kid.
she is ALL in ONE!!!!!!!amazing!!!!she is an 13 years old body but in her is an ancient ..old soul!!!!!!WOOOW!!!!!!she is a blesed one...talented..pure..innocent....honest...uncorrupted..beautiful heart.....uniq!!!!!!!!yesssss!!!love her!!!!!!!!
I love this performance; Dances like Mick Jagger, sings like Janis Joplin while performing an original song from Otis Redding (later covered by the Black Crowes.)
Hi guys, Courtney Hadwin really is that shy. And has some social anxiety disorder. But, when she starts performing. She's like this other person. But this is not the first time she's been on these types of shows. Last year she was in The Voice Kids UK Final. Didn't win tho. And in 2016 she was a Grand Finalist in Open Mic UK singing Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor. Her Voice Kids UK Audition and other performances are on TH-cam. She is good.
Leonard Simmers she's fake. I watched her the voice stint and not a single sign of that "anxiety". It's just a drama. and she got the golden buzzer for that. without the drama, she don't deserve the golden buzzer. Glennis deserves it a lot better
I thought this was a "talent" show and NOT a personality "flaw" show, no?
Leonard Simmers i liked her blind audition of Nutbush City Limits.
RVREVO X3 yes, I liked her performance of 'Nutbush City Limits' too! Not that I'm familiar with this song.
ezeng tundo Just out of curiosity when did you get your degree in psychology. "I watched a few videos and I'm an expert" Hogwash!
Wow she's a very very very good singer. In some way I can see KZ Tandingan in her. Like when she's singing she's going to a different persona. I am really in awe.👏👏👏
She is a total performer amazing! When she's on stage she transform
Hadwin sang just one song we need to see what she has to offer us in the next episodes. I can't forget that she is amazing!
She reminded me of Prince. Real life - very shy and with-drawn, but when he got on stage...PURE MAGIC!
Courtney Hadwin is absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't stop watching this performance!
lowkey wish they had reacted to darci lynne at some point. she won the 2017 agt. for her finale she sang with _two_ puppets using _two_ completely different voices (one being male) _with her mouth closed,_ and she did it all while hitting every note _perfectly._ it's honestly unfathomable, the talent she has
I know her, she was on the Voice Kids UK 2017 and was Fantastic. She deserves the best ♥️♥️
Alot of people are shy
But lose it when the music starts
You should see her other performances
one of the unusual auditions😨😱❤️
Courtney is awesome, I can't get enough if watching her perform. The way she transforms into whom ever she is portraying in her music.
Hi, guys. I'm from Brazil and i loved your reactions...Just how i felt. This girl is just FANTASTIC. The best.
She came in second on the finale if I recall correctly. She is unbelievable!
She’s been on voice kids uk. But on Britain’s got talent we get people auditioning from all over the world! From Philippines, Vietnam, France, America, Canada etc! 👍🏽
I love this girl, thanks for comment this video
I'm married to a Singer and I can tell you that artists often have a very different personae on stage and in real life. Like how some people don't stutter when they sing or how a super shy person can shine like that. It's weird and beautiful to see. Both of those personalities are the same person.
Courtney hadwin, has got a MILLION DOLLAR TALENT
You two looked shocked. She was not in a trans state. She was letting them know she’s ready. This girl Courtney is s true natural in her comfort zone singing. She been singing since she was eleven I think. I love the girl. Just awesome . She has many videos of herself. Courtney is going places. She’s just herself, not acting.
Even older, more seasoned, performers take a moment to get it together; doesn't make it 'transcendental! Whatever 'we' call it, I'm glad she knows how to get herself into the moment and, THEN, nod to cue the music. Good for her!
Disagree with you; When she lowered her head she entered a state that set her up for her performance; call it what you will but she went somewhere else private to her;
I've watched this reaction video over and over again because Courtney is so amazing ..... now i watch it just to hear M-Angel say 'Oh my gosh' ....
I am so glad that you reacted that way on this gorgeous girl. Loved it, 💞💋
Courtney and her dad said they travelled to the US to audition for agt instead of bgt cuz most brits “don’t get her.” She obviously came to the right place. WE get her!!!! We LOVE her!!!!!!
Just Totally the BESt reaction video EVER!!!!! Thank you sooo much! Great work and much appreciated! Love you both!!
Not acting some people preform music others live it are it in every pore . They are very rare to find don't insult Her who would teach her to preform like that ?
AGT is now open to not just Americans but to the rest of the world just like X-Factor UK 🇬🇧
Asia’s Got Talent Season 2 winner “Sacred Riana” from Indonesia 🇮🇩 joined AGT this season. Her talent was spooky magic (always is).
You can search all her performances why she won Asia’s Got Talent last year (2017).
Her audition in Asia’s Got Talent though is quite similar to her America’s Got Talent’s audition. A tittle changes but enough to surprise the world who haven’t watch any of her performances and still for those who’s in Asia also get excited to watch.
Courtney Hadwin's possible competition later in the competition may be 12 year old American Diana Donatella who was runner up in the 2017 German version of the Voice Kids Germany. Watch her initial 3 minute 10 second version of Whitney Houston's song Run to you.
Courtney is amazing and she gets into a music trance when she's on that stage and the music is playing.
I re-watch your reaction every now again. As of today (six days or so after her unbelievable Quarter final (where is your reaction)) this audition, in its first 9 weeks has acquired over 200 million views (100 million more than the nearest best number for that period of time. Her latest outing is getting 1 million hits a day. Without tour/record release Courtney is already a star.
No one expected what happened. Many people have heard 'Hard to Handle' by the Black Crowes. Most do not know it was originally sung by Otis Redding.
As far as I know, Janis Joplin never sang this song. Well, until this show.
This shy kid settled herself, found her groove and then OWNED a stage, an audience and four judges. Wherever she is, Janis Joplin is smiling!
Simon is happy cause he knew beforehand who she was!! She went all the way to the semi finals last year in the UK Kids Voice. Watch those videos!!
Hey y'all need to watch her on the Voice Kids UK 2017.
This was a really good review by a couple of people that seem to work really well together. Courtney will win the show but it will be great to watch her grow as she inches closer. She is as unique as Grace or even Darci if they would let her put the puppets down.
Exceptional, we want more of her, much more. Please review more of her songs!!!
She owned that stage. Quick, get her signed for the next NFL super bowl half-time and she'll bring the fans back in again.
All of the talents show that Simon is involved in, in all countries, accept auditions internationally.
She is already a professional singer...watch her other videos performing in other shows...she also joined the voice UK if I'm not mistaken
This girl was born for the stage!
Amazing. Hope she wins. Lovely to see someone so original
People are shocked that you have not reviewed Courtney Hadwin's cover of "Sucker" or "Sign of the times". She transformed those to songs and made them better. She made the weak song Sucker by the Jonis Brothers into a legendary kick as rock ballad!
Well, Simon is the owner of the show and owner of many similar shows around the world, specially The Voice Kid UK, where Courtney was finalist in 2017. So, no way Simon is surprised. But she is really shy when not singing, like Michael Jackson, Jess Stone and many great singers, even Janis Joplin.
you are the first people that said she transferred into the zone - amazing - x
This woman talking about Simon looking at the girl as a pot of dollars... talking about the girl's dad hugging her (such a beautful scene) like the guy being a rappist or something like that... and when the guy had the sensibility to see that Simon is really glad about the talent of Courtney, the woman just picks her own hair and talk about "mediocre people". She is so mean and cynical about everything that ruins the video.
Anyway... like how impressed the guy was with her transformation... I was just like that when I saw the audition. And, at the same little dancing time I said the same thing "She is so cute!".
(sorry for the bad english... tears!)
This song is originally by Otis Redding, "Too Hard to Handle". It is a very difficult song that she made look easy. It was also sung by the Black Crows. I know you have looked at her other stuff, but I hope you check out her original more recent songs like Breakable, That Girl Don't Live Here, Call Me Back, Monsters, and Christmas Rocks. Try to compare this to those.
Best reaction video I've watched. Thank you
1:26 LOL Loved that
I could understand your reactions:)
I was really surprised when I saw this audition!!
I think She will become a great singer.
Your reaction was the best I've seen of Courtney Hadwin!
I have never heard a more insightful comment: "she's bout to morph!" We had no idea...
this si to all the comments about her acting/pretending to be shy. She is not if you look at her after she has preformed she snaps back into shy I know from experience that some performers are so shy and scare that they actually vomit before going on stage but when they start preforming they go to another place (not just talking about singers) when they have finished some do not even know what they did its only when the clapping starts that they snap out of it. She is one such soul.
Courtney is genuinely shy, and phenomenally amazing. Of course the haters will hate her. That's what they do, best.
She is just amazing and for her age, omg I’m so proud!!!!
OMG SHE WINS, SHE WINS !!! Best reaction EVER !!! lolol
Something in the water across the pond in the UK. So many good British female singers.
Every one you have to watch the show when kids are on you find yourself fighting back tears put it out the park.
lol you guys are so funny! the first time i saw people actually REACTING properly
She is a tonado across the USA and the whole world.
This year is the Global edition of America's Got Talent
Over 65% are smitten with Hadwin.
Girl has gone viral online.
Check her out on The Voice Kids 2017 where she got 2nd place (lost), but do check out her rendition of Tina Turner Nutbush City Limit.
Reaction vids have been my go-to happy place of late, and this is a perfect example as to why. You guys are just awesome with your insight and your emotion, and it put a huge smile on my face. Watching this totally made my day. Thank you. (As an aside, I’d love to see you guys react to another AGT act, We Three, who sang an original song for their audition, or Sam Perry's version of "When Doves Cry" for the Voice Australia.)
Awesomeness!!! Luv your guys reaction!
Everyone else can go home now. 😂😂😂
This is my favorite reaction from you guys. I loved Courtney's performance and you guys were great.
