With a history of electrifying performances that defy expectation, Courtney Hadwin has once again proven her star power. And her recent cover of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” is a soaring testament to her raw, powerhouse vocals that first stunned audiences when she was just 13 on America’s Got Talent.
The cover, uploaded to TikTok, has taken the internet by storm — hitting over 2 million views in just three days. Fans across the globe are hailing it as one of Hadwin’s most phenomenal showcases to date, and the comment section is overflowing with praise.
One listener wrote, “Music is her world, she loves to amaze, her music is a mix of emotions, the mirror of her soul.” Another added, “Feeling like Amy and Janis is back. Perfect voice.”
Throughout her young career, Hadwin has been known for her unfiltered, jagged style — a voice that feels both vintage and brand new, full of soul and fire. Her take on “Beautiful Things” only cemented that reputation.
Stripped of studio polish, the performance captures Hadwin at her most authentic: raspy yet controlled, tender yet explosive, her delivery cutting straight to the listener’s core.
From the first haunting note, Hadwin commands attention. Each lyric is laced with grit and vulnerability, a duality that few singers can master. And as the song climbs to its emotional peak, she unleashes her signature belt — a raw, unshakable sound that has fans declaring her one of the most unique voices of her generation.
Many artists have covered Boone’s breakout hit, but Hadwin’s version stands apart because of the weight of her journey. At just 13, she took the world by storm with a performance that Simon Cowell called unforgettable. Now 21, she steps fully into her artistry with the release of her debut album, Little Miss Jagged.
“Little Miss Jagged has been in creation, without me even realising, since I was 16,” Hadwin recently told FAULT Magazine. “I feel like I’ve just given the internet my personal diary. It’s a little scary, but I’m loving the thrill of it.”
