With raw energy and powerhouse vocals, Courtney Hadwin transforms “Sucker” into a gritty, soulful rock experience!

Courtney Hadwin had her way with the Jonas Brothers‘ No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Sucker” in a live cover released Thursday (Aug. 1). The 15-year-old America’s Got Talent season 13 favorite known for her signature growly rock and soul vibe gave the JoBros’ pop smash a unique spin, performing the track in a stripped-down, acoustic setting, backed by a two-man guitar and electric organ band.

Watch her performance below.

Putting some Janis Joplin grit into the original, Hadwin — wearing a shiny, slim-fit flower-print suit — works the small room like it’s a stadium stage, throwing in some ad-lib howls while showing off her animated, Mick Jagger-inspired dance moves.
