With her gritty voice and fearless stage presence, Courtney Hadwin once again proved she’s a rock force to be reckoned with. During a July 31, 2020, Instagram livestream, the powerhouse singer delivered a raw and electrifying cover of Aerosmith’s “Crazy”—and fans can’t stop talking about how much she reminds them of a young Steven Tyler.
Hadwin, who rose to fame with her unforgettable performances on America’s Got Talent, has long been praised for her rock ‘n’ roll spirit. But this bold take on one of her favorite Aerosmith songs might be her most unforgettable performance yet. With nothing but a mic, a stripped-down setup, and her signature rasp, Hadwin transformed “Crazy” into something fresh, fiery, and undeniably her own.

From the very first note, Hadwin poured emotion into every lyric, channeling the intensity and soul that made the original track a classic. But where most covers aim to mimic, Hadwin reimagined. Her vocals danced between vulnerability and power, giving the ballad a gritty, bluesy edge that only she could deliver.
As the song built to its chorus, Hadwin’s voice soared, and the performance became a true showcase of her vocal strength and stage magnetism—even without a physical stage. The way she attacked each verse with both restraint and fire reminded many fans why they’ve called her the “female version of Steven Tyler” since her TV debut. It was classic Courtney: bold, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable.
Though the livestream was casual, the impact of her performance was anything but. Fans flooded the comments, begging for an official release—and even more, a full album. “She doesn’t just sing the song, she feels it,” one viewer wrote. “She’s born for this.”
The livestream performance was part of Hadwin’s growing series of covers as fans eagerly await news of her debut album. While no official release date has been announced yet, the young star continues to tease new music and connect with her followers through live content on her official Instagram page, @courtneyhadwin.
