From school troubles to an overbearing family to crazy hormones, teenagers have a lot to deal with. But one issue most teenagers don't have is the stress of singing in front of "America's Got Talent" judges and a huge audience, all while being broadcast to millions.

Thirteen-year-old Courtney Hadwin found herself in that position when she decided to try out for the show. 

She practiced and practiced, but was still nervous when it was time to get on stage. Audiences watched as she stepped out onto the stage and spoke to the judges in a shaky and nervous voice.

The audience was dead silent and painfully shy Courtney began to sing "Hard to Handle" by The Black Crows. Before their eyes, the shy teen transformed into a rock star as she belted her heart out. Judges were blown away and the cameras panned to their shocked expressions that soon turned to amazement of the wonderful young singer. 

Courtney finally sang her last note, and the audience went wild! Once the crowd settled down, the judges shared their thoughts with the girl. Judges Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Simon Cowell all took the chance to tell her how much they enjoyed her performance and how talented she was, with Simon Cowell comparing her to a lion. Judge Howie Mandel was particularly impressed by Courtney. So impressed in fact that he reached out and gave her his golden buzzer! 

Courtney's talent blew all the judges and the audience away and it's clear that show business hasn't seen the last of her! Watch the video to hear this unbeatable performance and powerhouse vocals. 

WHOA! Her voice is on fire! She is definitely performing on a whole other level compared to some of the talent you see on that stage. Here's hoping she makes it far in her career!
