If you’re a fan of America’s Got Talent, you might remember Courtney Hadwin from her memorable audition on American Idol. After gaining widespread attention, her return to America’s Got Talent: The Champions was a highly anticipated moment, and she did not disappoint.

Known for her energetic stage presence and powerful voice, Courtney was recognized by Howie Mandel, who awarded her the third Golden Buzzer of the season during her original audition. She admitted to feeling nervous on stage, but was reassured by the judges, including Mel B, who asked about her favorite subject in school. Unsurprisingly, Courtney’s passion for music stood out, and it became clear that she has a deep love for classic tunes.

For her audition, she performed Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle,” owning the stage with her long, expressive arms that highlighted each of her dramatic gestures. Her performance was so impressive that she earned the Golden Buzzer, one of the highest accolades an artist can receive.

This recognition propelled Courtney to return for America’s Got Talent: The Champions, where top performers from all Got Talent franchises reunited for another round of competition. For her return, Courtney decided to debut her original rock-and-roll song, “Pretty Little Thing,” which showcased her songwriting skills and unique style.

The performance was shared on YouTube by America’s Got Talent and quickly accumulated over 3,000 comments from fans around the world. One fan expressed, “I’ve supported her from the start, and it’s amazing to watch Courtney perform her own song live on stage. She’s truly talented.”

Despite her strong performance, Courtney was eliminated after week two, similar to fellow AGT star Darci Lynne Farmer, as she couldn’t gather enough votes to continue. However, her journey continues to inspire and entertain.
