The America’s Got Talent stage is meant to be a dream platform but for Courtney Hadwin, it came with a storm. Just 14 years old, she stunned judges and audiences with her explosive performances of 70s rock hits. With her wild energy and soulful growl, she earned the Golden Buzzer and millions of fans, but also a wave of internet backlash questioning her place in the competition.
What caused the controversy? Some fans were upset that Courtney had previous reality show experience in the UK. Others thought the show played favorites by giving her the best time slots and hyped-up video packages but through it all, Courtney stood her ground, proving she was just a teenager doing what she loved; singing her heart out.
