No studio. No band. Just four walls and a voice that could shake the soul. When Courtney Hadwin sat down to cover Lewis Capaldi’s “Wish You The Best,” she didn’t need production tricks; just raw, unfiltered emotion. The result? A performance so powerful, even Capaldi himself might’ve paused mid-sentence to listen.
Stripped down to pure a cappella, Courtney’s rendition transforms the song into something hauntingly intimate. Every breath, every crack in her voice feels deliberate like she’s not just singing the lyrics but reliving them. At 1:12 when her voice swells on “I miss the shape of your face” it’s not just a note; it’s a gut punch of vulnerability. This isn’t a cover; it’s a confession.

Fans flooded the comments with stunned praise: “How does someone sound this good in a bedroom?!” and “Courtney just rewrote heartbreak.” Even critics noted the rare authenticity; no studio polish, just the kind of vocal rawness that makes you forget to breathe. One viewer wrote, “I came for the voice, stayed for the soul,” and it’s easy to see why.
But if this cover shows Courtney’s tender side, “Die And Stay Pretty” unleashes her fire. Gone is the quiet ache; replaced by a snarling, blues-rock edge that proves she’s not just a vocalist, but a full-blown rock force.

This isn’t just a song; it’s a rebellion. Courtney’s growl channels Janis Joplin’s ghost while the lyrics “You’re a beautiful disaster, I can’t look away” paint a portrait of destructive love. The guitar snarls, her voice rasps with defiance and by the final chorus, it’s clear: the girl who once wowed AGT has evolved into a rock phenom.
Between soul-baring covers and fiery originals, Courtney’s social media teases her metamorphosis; studio snippets, throwbacks to her AGT days, and glimpses of Little Miss Jagged, the debut album that promises to cement her as music’s next true original.
