Courtney from Hartlepool appeared shy as she introduced herself to viewers at home during her VT but when she took to the stage to perform she transformed.
The 12-year-old gave an incredible rendition of Ike and Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits during the series premiere of the ITV singing competition that had the coach on their feet.
Danny Jones was the only coach to turn his big red chair around for the youngster leaving will.i.am and Pixie Lott disappointed they didn’t see her dancing.
The Black Eyed Peas singer then asked Courtney if she would perform the track again so that he could see her in action.
She was more than happy to start the song again so she could show off her dance moves and vocal talent once more.
After she finished, will.ia.am told her: “Like, you don’t know Janis Joplin, you don’t know any of these people…”
But Courtney promptly shut him down as she quipped: “Yeah I do.”
“Yeah but you don’t know them,” the coach went on to explain.
She then agreed: “Yeah not as like know them but I sing their songs.”
will.i.am continued: “But it seems as if you hung out with them and they were your pals and stuff”
It wasn’t just the coaches who were impressed with Courtney’s performance, viewers at home were also blown away and took to Twitter to comment on her singing.
“WOW! Courtney was INCREDIBLE! What a cool rock chick! Well done @itsDannyJones, potential winner right there! #TheVoiceKids @thevoicekidsuk,” one viewer tweeted.
While another added: “Loving Courtney singing and dancing to Nutbush, little diva in the making #TheVoiceKids.”
A third continued: “Courtney is amazing can you imagine how she’ll be in a few years?! I’m calling it. Finals for sure. #TheVoiceKids #TeamDanny.”
