Courtney Hadwin may be young but when she steps onto the stage and sings, it feels like a legend has come to life. In a performance of “All I Could Do Was Cry” by Etta James, she showed just how much emotion and power she can bring to a song. Her voice, rough around the edges in the best way, captures the pain and soul in every word. It’s not easy to sing a classic like this but Courtney makes it feel real as if she’s lived it.
Dressed and standing confidently under the spotlight, she grabbed the audience’s attention right from the first note. Her body moved with the music, her face showing every feeling the song held. This isn’t just singing, it’s storytelling. Even people who didn’t know the original version could feel the heartbreak in her voice. It’s rare to see someone so young sing with that much depth.

What makes Courtney even more special is her ability to bring old-school soul to new generations. While most teens are covering pop hits, she chooses songs that have heart and history. She seems to connect with music from the past in a way that’s hard to explain. Maybe it’s her voice, perhaps it’s her energy but it works. She’s not just copying; she’s making it her own.
Later, in a live performance at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Courtney proved her talent again. Even though the lighting was harsh and she wasn’t feeling her best, she gave everything she had. It was her last show after singing twice a day for four days. Still, she delivered an intense and emotional performance. The audience cheered her on, and she didn’t disappoint. You could see she was tired, but her love for music pushed her through.
