Quotes from Courtney Hadwin

With 'AGT' I was allowed more freedom to be myself. It was also quite a different scale.

The 'Voice Kids U.K.' songs were chosen for me, and I had to try and make them mine.

I'm hoping to work on some original songs and to keep performing in front of a crowd as much as I can.

Growing up, I've always wanted to be a rock star.

From 'America's Got Talent' I've learned to not look at all the bad comments and just concentrate on the positive.

I'm just a normal teenage kid.

I just watched a James Brown video of him singing 'I Feel Good,' and then I kind of just copied off his moves. But I couldn't do them properly, so they turned into my own moves.

My first favourite moment in 'AGT' was getting the golden buzzer from Howie Mandel.

I haven't really thought about winning 'AGT'. I just think that I should be in the competition to have fun, and whatever happens happens for a reason.

I'm just happy and proud for what I've done, and for coming in the Top 10 of 'America's Got Talent.'

I like the music that I sing, cos I, like, feel it more.

When I hear music, I come alive. I feel electrified. I just get into the music and I start moving.

I think the stage is the place where I feel most comfortable and most myself.

I've had some messages from some famous people which have been so unreal that they know who I am. I had support from Paloma Faith, Luke Evans, Stevie van Zandt, Jojo Siwa and Sharon Stone. It was amazing that so many big names had been talking about me.
