Voice Kids, Courtneys cover of Nut Bush City Limits a must see. Thanks

[williammoore]

Her vocals are way above her age. Stage presence is there with the vocals. Amazing delivery to her audience. ❤❤🎉

One of her more under rated performances due to the cookie cutter lovers not liking her upbeat and energized style. To me this was one was insanely great. And so young she was. 7 years later and she's still got that great energy, just a bit more refined. But she still goes off on her rock performance. If you continue watching the AGT and Voice Kids performance she all out rock. Just how it should be

[SubsNewar]

I have been following her since her time at the Voice Kids and she is a rare gem and we must ensure that she continues blooming as she is, simply love her

[prakaklef]

Tina Turner YES! You should hear her Voice Kids audition, Nut Bush City Limits, her AGT finals River Deep Mountain High (my favorite), her quarantine cover of What's Love Got To Do With It, accompanying herself on guitar, and Proud Mary, celebrating her 18th birthday in a "Hawaiian karaoke bar" in Turkey.

Omg she is already amazing and with more training she will be phenomenal.. so much soul and grittiness to her voice. Love it

[jamesgilles]

I think she might be the greatest at giving "goose bumps". She has never waned from her ability and her phenomenal performances. Even her own music has that energy to it. i also like her live covers.

[alanmartin]

And she's only 12- yrs. old. AMAZING.

[williammoore]

What a powerhouse voice.omg.facial expression in begining says nothing shy about this gal.

Courtney did this on live UK-wide TV just ten days past her 13th birthday, with 3.5 million viewers watching. She didn't win, but still created enough of a sensation that the organizers of a concert headlined by Sister Sledge, taking place just two weeks after this, who had not yet booked an act to open the concert, immediately decide to invite Courtney to do it. So she did, in front of a crowd of 18, 000.

I love Courtney, like I love Poppy, don't think you have gotten to her yet I have requested her, the voice was the very first place I heard Courtney, one you haven't got to yet, she's a prodigy, comes from a different era, even though she singing something happy joyful, I tear up, chills all over my body, she is unique, and oh my God what a voice.

[chuckvisconti]

She was 12 years old at that time I watch videos of her at the age of 10 and 11 that were incredible she did Whitney Houston at such a young age Aerosmith at 11 years old doing Don't want to Miss a thing and it was incredible she is a total package plays guitar rights music call her covers she makes it her own

She was right, we just didn't know we were gonna love her..

[kimjensen]

Do the first song from UK Voice Kid 2017 Tina&Ike song 'Nutbush City Limits' Killing it 12years old

[sharonclark]

There’s always going to be haters towards her cos they have nothing better to do than put a 12 year old down. But her millions of fans love her and that’s all that matters, there are so many covers she did over lockdown Tina Turner what’s love got to do with it or Jade Bird Uh Huh is pretty good 😊

AGE 12 AGE 12 Emulating one of her idols, Ms. Tina Turner. Ms. Courtney Hadwin. Unfortunately for Courtney, her competitor Jess Folley also nailed the more recent hit song, Love On Top, by Beyoncé. Jess really is very very good. But I insist that Ms. Courtney is in a top-shelf rare category of her own. Standing there with five others waiting to hear the vote tally had to be hard.

The next year, Courtney tackled AGT. Waiting, hoping to finally win her future (that money matters, unfortunately, ) knowing it'd be Simon Cowell sitting judging, Courtney was convinced she'd get sent home by Simon's red buzzer. Had to skip a couple of acts ahead of her as she was sick with worry. When she went out on stage, MelB talked to her...the rest is history....


Money talks, when you want to go into a studio and record. Even more when you want to go on concert tour. Success was waiting for her. All that stress, all that tension, was bottled up in that small body, just waiting to explode when the music finally hit. 200M views in first week iirc. Over a half a billion views by time AGT took down that original vid. Many other copies/edits were up on YouTube by then. Estimates range from well over one to maybe even two BILLION views total, including all copies/variants AND ALL REACTION vids.

Courtney was signed in December 2018. SYCO Music and Arista co-signed her, intending her to be youngest on stage at Woodstock 50. Which then imploded as organizers failed to calm fears of a repeat of Woodstock 99. And then COVID hit. By the time Ms. Courtney's contract expired, amid issues with remaining 'label' after SYCO Music disappeared, ghosting their artists, that massive audience was effectively LOST due to inactivity by 'label' IMHO...despite young Ms. Courtney doing EVERYTHING SHE COULD (age 14 through 18) to give her fans snippets and insights into her songwriting, promising them what she'd been promised: SOON!

I think the music industry, as a whole, messed up handling of this crisis that killed live music, the lifeblood and profit center for professional musicians who tour. I believe Keith Urban had the right idea, in his own desperation to share his own music, AND HIS GRATITUDE TO THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS RISKING THEIR LIVES, literally, and their families lives every week throughout those years. Keith got permission to repurpose a local drive-in movie theater, and gave a free concert to those same frontline healthcare workers and their families. A chance to relax, listen to some GREAT music, and experience some togetherness without putting others' lives at risk. I wish Ms. Courtney's label would have thought to do something similar, or at least 'tinydesk concerts' like NPR did here in USA with many artists.

Courtney tried, and if I got the industry rumor correct, even got in a bit of trouble with someone in management about releasing too much of too many songs. They seemed to forget SHE COULD MAKE MORE!! Oh well, that audience WILL come back, eventually. And I suspect her coming MONSTER single, 'Monsters', may just take care of that on it's own. If not, then her full album late this coming winter (?hopefully?) should most definitely do the trick. If this isn't Grammy material, I'll be truly shocked and disappointed at how far the music industry has fallen from the decades when they truly searched out GREAT YOUNG TALENTS. If all else fails, we have the internet, and can get around those old dinosaurs if we must to reach that audience direct. <yeah, yeah, this old rabid fan is shutting up now>
