Some artists don’t just perform—they command the stage with electrifying energy. Courtney Hadwin is one of them. From her jaw-dropping Golden Buzzer moment on America’s Got Talent to her electrifying performances on The Voice Kids UK, this compilation of her top five performances proves that she was born for the spotlight.
Courtney Hadwin has raw energy, which rivals the best; this makes sense with how she constantly picks the most brutal battles for herself, taking on giants like Otis Redding (with Hard to Handle) or Tina Turner (with Nutbush City Limits to Life).

Hadwin’s journey began with The Voice Kids UK, where she stunned audiences with robust covers of I Feel Good and And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going. In 2018, though, everything changed when she performed Hard to Handle, shocking the judges with a voice that should belong to a seasoned master of the craft… yet somehow was housed by a teenager: Instant Golden Buzzer — she was a standout talent from the get-go.
Rock and soul have always thrived on raw emotion, and Hadwin carries that tradition forward. Inspired by greats like Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, she revives a sound that many thought had faded, proving that passion and authenticity never go out of style. Speaking of Tina Turner, here is Hadwin’s cover of Nutbush City Limits to Life:
