Thanks for that. She's a true entertainer. Maybe not the world's greatest voice, but it's the way she uses it - the whole package.
If you like soul music, here's someone with less stage presence but a remarkable voice. And unlike Courtney, she really did come from nowhere.
The audition:
Wow! Powerful voice, Soul & Blues. And the four judges cried their soul away too, right from her first vocal chords, and all together in unison.
Thanks a bunch for sharing, she's new to me.
I'm in tears, she tears my heart apart in the most awesome way.
That second video...an eclipse of heaven.
