Thanks Britt for this great reaction. Courtney will be 19 in July. Courtney wrote this song along with veteran songwriter/producer Kevin Bowe. She is totally independent now. You shouldn’t need to put a filter over her videos anymore because there will be no more copyright issues from a big music company. Anyway I love everything about this song Courtney will still sing a range of songs. Her latest “That Girl Don’t Live Here” is more of a jazzy rock or some have said swing type song. Also very unique. Anyway Britt thanks again. This was a great reaction.
@Bernard Coombs Yes, she has announced total independence, which is a courageous move. My personal opinion is that she will wind up with a much more favorable association with a smarter label so that she can get much wider exposure.
@@rickrhoden1 Whoever she goes with should have some world tours. So she can perform on stage. Music Videos are alright, but records and audio downloads you miss part of her performance.
This song brings me to tears every time, and every since I first heard it over a month ago it is an earworm. It is such a beautiful, emotional song that almost anyone can relate too. Yet, she wrote it with her writing partner that others have mentioned about her issues with the record label trying to change her, COVID issues, performance cancellations and other issues, yet the message is so universal. That is very clever writing indeed.
When I saw her on AGT five years ago, what I'm hearing from her today does not surprise me. Her voice was powerful and forward then, and now it's been refined with age. The lyrics are awesome.
Great reaction!! You are realizing what we already know that Courtney has grown into a muti- talented singer/songwriter that will build a huge following as an independent artist. Isn't she just amazing. Waiting for her next release. 😊
Thx Britt, love this girl, Courtney burst on the scene at 12 years old on the voice kids, she is totally unique and a free spirit who puts her soul into this song.
That was very enjoyable. Courtney will hopefully be a huge influence in music for many years to come. And maybe even influence her generation to be themselves and not care what the music industry wants them to be. She has bucked the system and so far is making a statement with her lyrics in a very smart subtle way.
Great reaction! Her performances on America's Got Talent were shocking with their rawness and her talent. She sounds amazing in this video. Her voice has grown into something really beautiful.
Time sure flies. Courtney dud her famous viral audition Hard to handle on America's Got Talent in June 2018 season 13. That's five years ago this coming June of 2023.
This is a wonderful reaction Britt, for me as an 80 year old Australian man I think that Courtney has a once in a lifetime voice, there is no one else in today’s music world as good or as genuinely original and talented as Courtney. The world has waited several decades for her and now she is an independent artist the sky is the limit.
The key to a long career in music is variety, change. If all the tracks on an album sound similar why have an album? If the new album sounds like the last why make a new one? This big change in style is what we want, what she needs for a career.
Wow, over 52 comments in just a few hours. You do have good, thoughtful reactions, Britt! By now you know Courtney was only 13-14 in most of her previous video covers; she's closing in on 19 now (July) and is just getting into her originals which she seems to be releasing every few weeks. She has been in somewhat of a hiatus for several years, but as you indicated she has continued to work hard on her craft. The pandemic, music labels, and other personal issues have been barriers that Courtney is finally breaking through. I look forward to more of your reactions to Courtney. You definitely need to react to her 2018 1/2 billion+ viewed AGT audition where she got her first big bump.
Sherry pretty well put down everything I was going to say ( only better than I could have done it ) , other than I really enjoyed listening to my favorite reactor reacting to my favorite singer / performer / songwriter ! Now I'm looking forward to your reaction to Courtney's newest video, " That Girl Don't Live Here " !
She was only 13 on AGT and is now 18. She's definitely "all growed up on us". If you want an original by her that's more upbeat, she just released a new single last week called "That Girl Don't Live Here". She really got screwed over by Simon and his record label. It has taken a few years just to pull herself out, ditch the labels and do all her own production, etc. They took the rights to her other songs with them, so these are just the beginning of what will become her new album
Thanks for doing Courtney song breakable she's been in a contract dispute for 2 years and is now an independent you have released the song and video and one other this girl don't live here she'll be 19 June 6th she said she will release the song every month and that she has a long list that she has been writing and has long list other song this girl don't live here is more upbeat and jazzy hope you can get to it soon thank you
She was 15 on the live covers, but the group she signed the contract with did not allow her to do much for a couple of years, so she waited it out and now is an independent. All of her releases came in 2023 when she was out of her contract. She became independent at 18. She needs to be independent. She does have an experienced writer name Kevin Bowes helping her develop these great songs and solid music. As an independent, you will see a lot from her you may not expect.
Breakable the record company tried to break her they wanted her to control her and tell her what they wanted her to do I guess she stuck to her guns waited at her contract became an independent artist now she can do what she wants to do
I thought I'd drop off another artist that I believe you've listened to singing with Dolly Parton. But She originally got her start with the band the Eagles. Here's a live performance "Linda Ronstadt with Eagles - Silver Threads and Golden Needles" I hope you have the day you deserve too
Great point. Not many people realize that. Or that both Glenn Frey & Don Henley got their start with Linda Ronstadt. And that she gave her blessing when they wanted to start their own band. She helped and supported them when they formed the Eagles.
Thanks! This might be a difficult request, but I would love to see your reaction to the song "Hi Ren". I've seen more than a few reactions that end in stunned silence. I'd love to see your take.
"Hi Ren" by Ren, modern music(?), but no one will remember him and his songs in 2070. 😁 If anyone is interested in psychological songs or mental heath songs, check out "The Doors" and Jim Morrison, people still remember their songs after 50 years. "The D O O R S Greatest Hits - The Best of The D O O R S Full Album 2021"
Yo mami you should react to lil dicky's freestyles on Sway in the Morning. They are awesome and based on your reaction to Harry Mack I believe you'll like both of them. Hope life is good and I love your long hair.
This song is about the record company wanted to do their music hairstyle and dress dress her the way they want her to dress she did not want to do that he wanted to be doing her own thing I guess they tried to break her
Hi Ms . Britt, First I have never been a Ms. Courtney fan; her voice is usually gritty and she over sings the song.. This performance so far is better, much better.. ♠W.G.
The grit and the passion (i.e."oversinging", like all the great rockstars) are what millions of Courtney fans love about her BECAUSE it is so different from the usual pop.
New subscriber 🥳dope reaction Can I introduce you to 2 artists from South Africa 🇿🇦🔥please react to Nasty C Freestyle On The Radar🔥🥺 And Please react to GODLIKE By A Reece those are my to artists I'll really appreciate it you won't get disappointed🔥🥺
She's probably concern about copyright infringements, and may not have know about Courtney being an independent in control of her own music videos. Courtney wants us to watch and I'm sure she would want reactors to watch her videos without filters. Unfortunately reactors have been hurt by copyright infringements and get blocks all to often. So they have to be concerned by strikes from RU-vid and use filters.
