America's Got Talent

She didn't just own the song, she owned the stage as well.

[oscardunn]

Can't count how many times I've gone back to watch and listen to this audition...fantastic.

[Tbean]

She’s so nervous… then when the music plays you can see it in her eyes that she disassociates from her surrounding. it’s just her and the song. She lets the music and her heart and soul take over. She never looks at anyone. Not the judges. Not the audience. Cuz she’s not on stage to impress anyone. Just to put her soul on stage. This little girl is an inspiration. ❤️

[Valentinahehee]

her dad's reaction when she started dancing 😂😂 great talent btw <3

[jessmoore]

My favorite part of this entire video is the connection she has with her dad and how proud he looked throughout her entire audition!

[ozrob]

Possibly the greatest moment in Courtney's life. She will never forget this experience, no matter what her future holds.

[morganbarfield]

The way she ended, with that turn and to her knees was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Idk what is it, but that was literally the PERFECT ending to me.

[timdoyon]

That is one of the most iconic moments in AGT history. I’ve watched it so many times over the years, and every time is just like the first time. Simply awesome!

[LonnieOwen-chsg]

No matter how many times I watch this it puts a smile on my face.i love this clip

[sirfrancisarthur]

Years later, I still love seeing Howie say telling that story from his heart. Such a cool guy, always. And superb performance ofcourse.

[morganbarfield]

This was phenomenal. I love her. And I love her energy. I’m actually blown away.

[jessmoore]

My favorite part of this entire video besides her performance was the connection with her dad! Amazing

[szrkfoz]

I've never seen anything like this young lady. . Truly amazing talent. I've watched this video over and over.
She is blessed with an awesome gift..
She will go far and her name will be in every one's world.

[karenleclercq]

This young lady took everyone by surprise, I have watched this so many times, she’s sensational!!!

[carolsipala]

That was so amazing for all of us to witness. She walks on stage as a young girl and then belts out a song like that. She certainly owned that stage. I love how often Howie will provide the right words in that moment and to share the Joplin story was perfect. I enjoy watching that over and over and observing everyone's shocked face, especially the father. Priceless !

[mikemenssen]

I've commented before & every time I watch her performance I seem to get more & more into it! Her stage savvy, her presence, it just looks like she's been doing this for awhile! Still sends goose bumps up my arms! 🎸🤘

[FrankKnupp-osev]

Her voice is awesome . What a natural talent !

[williammoore]

No other like courtney she has stage presence like jagger rolling stones. And holds composure to sing. Really a performance well beyond her age.❤❤🎉🎉

[joehahn]

I'm a grown assed man and I'm sitting here wiping tears outta my eyes...lol.
Courtney Hadwin is a SERIOUS badass!!! 💕

[donsicariofx]

She's like the young Susan Boyle. She comes on stage, we dont expect what follows. It's like she turned into a different person from the time the first note dropped. Simply awesome🤠🤠🤠
