Courtney Hadwinis a mini Janis Joplin!

Howie Mandel, who chose Hadwin as his Golden Buzzer winner, previously told her that she reminded him of Joplin.

“Oh my gosh, you are not from this era. You’re from a whole different era,” he said before talking about how Clive Davis discovered Joplin. “I’m not Clive Davis, I’m Howie Mandel, and I can’t sign you to a record deal. The only thing I can do for you, young lady, is give you [the Golden Buzzer].”

And Hadwin has been blowing viewers’ minds with her rocker-chick style — especially her rendition of“Born to Be Wild.”
