I believe the music world has waited many decades for Courtney's once in a lifetime voice, she has the spirit and soul of Janis and other legends of those years but Courtney is Courtney, totally unique and a wonderful breath of fresh air into today's music.
Impossible to find words to describe this performance. The stage, the orchestra, the guests... the singer. Very proud to be with you in this wonderful adventure Courtney.
@@AgustinAranaRuiz If you’re watching the conductor, at the end of her song, He is turned around watching COURTNEY and just waving his arms, I thought it was hilarious
what a great feeling it must be in the middle of a performance to know "I am crushing this" and hearing the audience enjoying the performance. We are blessed to have you
@@CourtneyHadwin i remember you saying on your AGT audition that you were aware of crowd coming to their feet while you were singing "Hard to Handle" I remember everything you do or say 😊😊
You are amazing! I heard you in "America's Talents" and I did know< you Courtney will have a great career! I loved Janis Joplin very much and I still sad,that she died so early. You have a very similar voice and I hope very much-pray to God- that you have a long life! ❤ All the best and good luck from Switzerland
Mon dieux quelle merveille , quel talent, quel énergie, un don de soi comme il est très rare de voir. Superbe, adorable et pleine de vies. Merci pour ces quelques minutes de bonheur absolu!!! Enfin une étoile qui brille par elle même ❤❤❤❤ Sûrement une des dernières merveilles de ce monde
I've loved every genre Courtney has sung. However, when she sings rock & blues, I feel that's the sweet spot for her voice . . . It's where her voice best lives, her wheelhouse. To that end, I'm super excited to hear Courtz continue to sing many genres, but especially stoked to hear more rock and blues tunes! 🤟🎵🎤🎸🔥
I would love to see her do a duet with Renan zonta, they would be a formidable force. Hes what I would call a singing prodigy just like Courtney and he loves rock too.
When I see young people doing tremendous covers of legendary artists I feel hopeful, thank you Courtney, thank you for the music, greetings from Argentina.
When Janis died, a little piece of my heart died too. When I see and hear you I feel like she's back, or really never left. The spirit of the 60's remains strong.
Just please PLEASE promise you won’t end up like Janice. We lost her much too soon. This is a second chance to for the world hear a wildly unique and special voice.
The 60’s were really tough times for a woman with an opinion, free spirit and most amazing talent. Plus drugs and alcohol were really promoted a lot. Saying “no” to drugs and alcohol put a person on the outskirts of social life. So there were a lot of demands on a free spirit like Janis. Now is a better time for Courtney to share this amazing talent without life threatening peer pressure. Thank you Courtney for being here ❤
You Wonderful Lady with a Fabulous Voice! I write with a translator, unfortunately: I don't speak English well. I'm writing from Hungary, from Central Europe, I've listened to you several times and I can't get enough of your talent and voice. You're awesome! Continue! You brought back something we need again and again! You are wonderful, I write all this as a middle-aged woman: this performance of yours is also fantastic! The conductor was very much with you! Dear Janis, he would be proud of you. What about you, that you "brought back from Him, for us" a miracle. Thank you and I wish you a wonderful life and career.❤🎉 I hug you with love.❤
Courtney, you are a phenomenal singer. You are the 1st person I have heard to sing and express Janis Joplin's energy and voice. You have done so wonderfully. Thank you. CONGRATULATIONS on your album, please continue to follow your passion for singing❤
Courtney, CONGRATULATIONS for getting into Carnegie Hall! I bet you livened it up like it hasn't been livened up in a while! That conductor was having fun too haha. Love you and I can't wait to hear your album! That first AGT performance was so freaking great and you always put that same sass into even a couple words- amazing!
Courtney, I've been following you since your AGT GOLDEN BUZZER with Jaime Pascarella , Cesar Cueto , xanndra2 , Chris Mayer , Edward DeVogelear , etc. I still play it too. It was my favorite even with all your other miracle work since then. But Courtz, this made me cry! Your emotion just poured out of you Courtney just like it did from PEARL. You've done a hell of a lot of GREAT work, but this was your GREATEST hour young lady on so many levels. Not to mention you looked devine on the stage as you always have!!! Even the conductor loves you Courtney. He broke his neck many times trying to get a precious glimpse of you!!! ROCK ON COURTNEY, ROCK ON!!!🙏🌹💗🎼🇬🇧🦖
I will never forget seeing your first performance on AGT. And now you are playing Carnegie Hall. Wow! Just incredible. I actually got goosebumps watching.
Such a spectacular performance and a wonderful video. The only thing better would be a video with the entire performance if only to watch you dominate the stage even you're not singing and only the orchestration is playing the instrumental section. BRAVO again!!!! 😍😍
Fantastic job of Janis Joplin's song. ❣️❣️She was an absolute favourite of mine back in the day! Yup, I was young in the 70's. What a fantastic era for music it was. Well done 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Discovered you today .. I’m sitting here binge watching.. I have tears streaming down my face.. I am 47 and grew up listening to Janis, Jim and Jimi .. My Gen was obsessed with the 60’s! Girl you’re bringing it back!❤❤❤❤
An amazing performance. Amazing 'cause each time I hear you, it's a surprise as just as the first time I saw and heard you sing. Thanks to give these vibes to my heart and soul. 😍☺
I've watched your performance several times now. You give me the shivers every time with your power and interpretation. I have no doubt that those musicians are going to remember this forever! I know I would. Enjoy your time back home and get ready for an even bigger trip in your near future!! 😍😍
Now Carnegie Hall knows what it means to really rock. 🤟🤟 You were magnificent Courtz and your performance was simply stunning. No other voice in music even close to yours. 🔥🔥🔥You are incredible. 😊🥰
Absolutely incredible! Goosebump stellar performance and voice !! I’d love to see Courtney in concert singing many of the classic rock and blues songs. She’s is the truest best of any cover I’ve ever heard ! It’s like the original but even better if thats even a possibility !??!!!? She knows how to keep the classics Alive !!!
That was great!!!!! I love watching all of your "old" AGT performances. Everything was exceptional! Your talent is so overwhelming that you can make people laugh and cry at the same time. Also loved your dancing style, the best! ❤
I saw her on one of those contests shows and thought this lady has a talent that very few have, and the commitment she delivers in her singing is very rare
You are a force to be reckoned with Courtney. I have watched you off and on for the last 6 years or so and know that nothing's going to stop such an iconic person with the humongous talent that is so obviously YOU. Congratulations, we look forward to hearning more from you.
I have no fkn Words for you. I follow your Journey now for almost 6 Years. You have the Potential to become one of the best female Artist of the 21st Century. I love your Voice, but I also have to say your past Songs were not what I was expecting from you. I really hope, now that you can work on what you love and want. I can finally get a legendary Masterpiece from you. Big love from Germany
I remember being absolutely blown away when she first sang on americas got talent.this girl sings from her soul. Just love hearing her and her amazing song choices. Wish her nothing but success. ❤
A lot of Legends never got to play with the New York Philharmonic . I grew up with all the old bands and I saw Courtney when she sang ( piece of my heart) She was 13 years old. She is so special For her age and has that special raspy voice. She has been told by Paul McCartney she can redo some of his old songs.Dolly Parton has said she will go right to the top
Wow! What would Janis think of this orchestra and this amazing young talent singing a song she wrote and sang. I think she would have loved it. And so do I 😊
I too believe Janis Joplin would have appreciated this amazing young talent, Courtney Hadwin. However, please note that Janis was ALSO covering this song (from Wikipedia): " 'Piece of My Heart' is a romantic soul song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. Franklin's single peaked in December 1967 at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart in the United States." "The song came to mainstream attention when Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin on lead vocals covered the song in 1968 and had a much bigger hit, after which Franklin's version was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_of_My_Heart Note also that young Ms. Courtney was ALSO quite a fan of Ms. Aretha Franklin, Erma's sister. There are a LOT of reasons why this song resonates strongly with our young superstar-in-the-making, Courtney Hadwin. Her experience up till now in the music industry is only one of them. I'm glad she paid homage to Janis Joplin with her performance and with her words to the audience beforehand, but I'm also glad she didn't strictly try to exactly duplicate any one of Janis' performances of this song vocally. As usual, she clearly paid homage and emulated her 'virtual mentor' (in this case, Janis Joplin), but she also did this performance in her own way. Did she try (quite successfully) to remind the audience of a young Janice as she started singing? Hell yeah! But she didn't slavishly copy Janice's exact performance. She let us see HER own capabilities and skills, too. Love it. Respectful. Thankful. Yet not trying to act out a whole song exactly Janice's way of performing it. Brought the audience in with initial emulation of Janice's mannerisms, and with her vocal performance, but then let her own natural voice shine through for a bit before ramping up the vocal squall technique for much of the rest of the song, with one truly notable exception as she cleanly switched over to her own gorgeous, clean, clear pianissimo falsetto right after delivering some memorable raspy lines just loaded with texture. Amazing near-instantaneous shift! Seriously skilled youngster! Can't wait to see her career take off. Frankly, I'm a tad surprised at the one tepid mention her performance got in NYC's press. Some of the pro's in front row of seats were clearly pretty damned impressed. As, it's reported by fans attending, did the rest of the audience who gave her a pretty noisy standing ovation. We shall see what happens when her long-delayed (by labels) now-independent debut album comes out.
Solid Gold...Conductor even all in it..GREAT. Totally channeling Joplin..ya can feel it. Wow One of my favs ..she and Orchestra kicked ass..rocked it up. Orchestra added some great back up..never seen conductor get in it, like that lol
No matter what you sing Courtney......You Rock it Girl!! I never get tired of your voice. Sometimes I listen to you all day and well into the night!! You're my favorite by far.....Thank you!! 💖💯🌹🌷🌻🌴🍀🎸🎤🎧🎯
Insanely GOOOD!!!!! Courtney, you are out of this world, a Great Singer!!! Thank you from working up the courage of coming you of your shy shell. Your Fantastic!! :)
I am so unbelievably happy to see where you are in your career now. I’ve been following you for years and have been utterly thrilled and blown away by you the whole time. 🌺 This was amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
Just WOW Courtney. Been waiting for this to come out since learning you were doing it. Been watching it regularly since then. I can see where you said you got your spark back, especially near the end, when you jump around a bit. Always love how you get in the mood of the song. Hope to get to see you if you ever tour in Canada.
OMG Courtney, amazing performance 😃 i adore your talent, i adore your voice, i adore you. Iam very happy for you, your work ,your effort, your desire. You have good music in your blood , it is undeniable 🙌🏽 greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

Stunning Gig, the conductor was jamming Your vocals are astoundingly good, and it great to see you where you belong, On Stage! Carnegie Hall, wow! you must have had so much fun.
Couldn't agree more. Conductor was having a BLAST up there, but was regretting where he had to stand to do his job. He just HAD to turn around frequently!
YOU’VE COME SUCH A LONG WAY GETTING MORE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN BEING BOLDER CHANGING EVERYTHING UP INCLUDING YOUR HAIR -RED LOOKS AMAZING ON YOU WELL DONE AND KEEP SLAYING IT 💯‼️🔥🩷😃
I believe the music world has waited many decades for Courtney's once in a lifetime voice, she has the spirit and soul of Janis and other legends of those years but Courtney is Courtney, totally unique and a wonderful breath of fresh air into today's music.
Absolutely agree! Courtney is spot on with the 60/70’s era, Janis would of loved her 😀
To loud
Exactly- I like how she Courtnifies the Janice- she makes it a little different; I love how shoe sings the word "heart"!
Spastic screams. Nothing more.
Simply Agree.
Impossible to find words to describe this performance. The stage, the orchestra, the guests... the singer. Very proud to be with you in this wonderful adventure Courtney.
Thank you so much

Damn girl I got ridiculous chills with this. You’ve been given such a gift with your voice.
OMG, It's 1968 and I'm a young boy again listening to my transistor radio! Thank you so much for that wonderful gift.
Wow your voice is absolutely stunning and your performance so emotional and powerfull, can't wait for your ALBUM Courtney 🖤😎👍
what a great feeling it must be in the middle of a performance to know "I am crushing this" and hearing the audience enjoying the performance. We are blessed to have you
I never think about that its so weird it like I kinda zone out when on stage

Masterful performance ! She never ceases to surprise you ! Waiting for the new album.. and to be able to see her live on stage ! ❤
Never did I think I was going to hear this song sung the way it was intended by the immortal Janis Joplin.
Well done Courtney.
When I see young people doing tremendous covers of legendary artists I feel hopeful, thank you Courtney, thank you for the music, greetings from Argentina.
Thank you so much
@@CourtneyHadwinI LOVE YOU Courtney 😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤
She is the queen of rock
When Janis died, a little piece of my heart died too. When I see and hear you I feel like she's back, or really never left. The spirit of the 60's remains strong.

Me too

That conductor kept turning around, he was loving it!! Fantastic, Courtney, that took me back to your epic AGT performances!
Thanks so much!!
I could be wrong, but my interpretation when I first saw this was that that man (conductor) was having a BLAST and didn't want to miss a thing!
He couldn’t hardly keep up he was enjoying the hell out of that!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Whaou, enfin je vous découvre . C'est une méga claque d'émotions pure.
Merciiiiiii

Stunning Gig, the conductor was jamming
Your vocals are astoundingly good, and it great to see you where you belong, On Stage!
Carnegie Hall, wow! you must have had so much fun.
Yea I liked how the conductor seemed to be making a point with the way he turned and smiled at her.
Wow, thank you!
Couldn't agree more. Conductor was having a BLAST up there, but was regretting where he had to stand to do his job. He just HAD to turn around frequently!
Gives me goosebumps!!! I LOVE YOU COURTENAY!
