13-year-old Courtney Hadwin’s recent audition on America’s Got Talent has spread like wildfire on the internet, with the clip having already been watched 6 million times on YouTube alone. Courtney was slightly nervous when she got up on stage. The judges did their best to make her feel comfortable. “It’s okay to be nervous. It’s totally understandable,” said judge Mel B. She then continued: “Listen, don’t be nervous. I know this is a big stage, and there’s lots of people here, but you’re here for a reason, so go for it and good luck.”
A few seconds later, she jumped into “Hard to Handle” by the Black Crowes, and the judges reactions are priceless! By the time she’d finished, the judges could do little but sing her praises. “You’re like a lion,” Simon Cowell told the girl, while Howie Mandel explained: “You are not from this era, you’re from a whole different era.”
