Shy 13-year-old girl’s magnificent singing earns her the Golden Buzzer on 'AGT'
13-year-old Courtney Hadwin walked out on the stage of America’s Got Talent 2018 looking extremely nervous, but when she started singing, she rocked the stage.
In the video clip from the episode uploaded to YouTube, we see an unsure-looking young girl standing in front of the watchful eyes of the judges as well as a large number of the studio audience.
She doesn’t hide her uneasiness about being up on the stage when judge Mel B asks her, “How are you doing?” Hadwin immediately replies, “A little bit nervous.”
Mel B tries to give her courage by explaining to her that it’s “okay to be nervous.” The judge then attempts to cool down her nerves by asking her other questions about herself.
