The young star then took to the stage to sing "Pretty Little Thing." After her performance and while receiving a standing ovation; she revealed that the song was actually an original.

Judge Simon Cowell responded to her performance saying: "Courtney that was bloody fantastic.” He added, "I think this has been my favorite performance of yours so far."
