No one predicted the future of British teenager Courtney Hadwin when she auditioned for America’s Got Talent. As she stepped on on stage, 13-year-old Courtney seemed incredibly shy. She was so nervous that she admitted it to the judges.
Mel B tried to calm her down by saying: “Don’t be nervous. Despite the large audience and the stage, you clearly belong here. Try it. Good luck.”
Courtney then wowed the judges and audience with her performance of Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle”. Their jaws dropped as they marveled at her extraordinary performance.
By the end of the song, she had already received a standing ovation. Her father watched proudly backstage with host Tyra Banks. “Damn it, Courtney!” – exclaimed Simon Cowell, known for his harsh criticism. “At first glance, you seemed like a timid young girl, but your singing voice exudes confidence like a lion’s roar. Truly remarkable.”
She made it to the live shows after fellow judge Howie Mandel was awarded the golden buzzer.
Twitter exploded with praise for Courtney’s performance, and she gained many new followers. Courtney previously competed on The Voice Kids UK.
