buz butler I so agree that is why we are so moved because he is pure and represents the best of us and his mama, boy oh boy she is just as amazing as his dad and siblings because they give him pure love and shelter to nurture his talent by God and his angels, I imagine at night they come in his room and help him practice for his performance and comfort him to get good rest. And stay with him on that stage. ❤️
David Cope that’s what’s great about life man, you have the right to believe in what you choose. And if you don’t believe in a higher power then that’s your right.
I'm a music producer and dj.. I started giving up a few months back going slow down..watching you now gives me strength to go on a few more miles...Thanks Cody..you're a 1 in millions..Pure God given talent..
Yes! I worked for 10 years with adults with Autism, Downs syndrome and various other disabilities and our goal at the agency was From Disability to Capability. Kodie Lee is a prime example of that! What an inspiration!
I love how he claps for himself after every performance! I love his happy little dance afterwards too when he hears all of the applause and chanting of his name.
As a father of 2 young children with Autism, I must say, this is incredible. I always say that kids on the spectrum wear their heart on their sleeve. This is a prime example of that. Hats off to Kodi!
This is a powrful example of how a person with autism is locked in in many ways. He found a way out. Through music. It's simply amazing. Don't ever discredit or minimize someone with a diagnosis. They comprehend more than you think.
Just calling his skills as "raw talent" kinda disregard the years of hardships he must've taken to learn how to play the piano and vocal training but I do get where you're coming from.
@Luksh6 Pro Honestly he's better than 99% of the singers that have come on the show, disability or not. As soon as I heard his first audition I turned to my wife and said "yep, that's the winner".
Honestly I’ve never wanted someone to win AGT as much as I wanted Kodi to win AGT. Best wishes to Kodi and his family! Edit: He won!!! A well deserved victory Kodi. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for you bud! Congrats!
Seeing my man bounce to the cheers of his name literally brought me to tears. My son is autistic and loves to hear his name. It’s his favorite thing to say. God bless this young man and his family.
have strength. he may not be powerful in talking. even Kodi is not. hes powerful in singing. your son is powerful in another area too. maybe every time you looks at him, he gives you joy and that is his strength.
@@DanielKinuthia Awe! Yes! He's very smart. He has a photographic memory. He puts too many shortcuts on the computer and I uninstall them. I go in there and they are back in the exact order as before. Sometime I move them around just to test him and then they are back in order. He also figures out my passwords. He bought almost $10,000 of antique toys on ebay. I got out of it, of course! LOL
I love watching Simon's face. Very few contestants have had that kind of impact on him. That boy is a treasure, so talented and pure. LOVE him, and his Mom is amazing.
yes, Simon seems to have a special place in his heart for people with disabilities I noticed... kodi, Susan, Mandy...people with disabilities and dogs I noticed... I have autism too so I notice and appreciate how they are so considerate to them since I can relate to being overwhelmed by too much touching or loud social situations
I have been struggling lately with my inner demons and my health. I'm still recovering from my 6th surgery from nearly 6 months ago, this surgery has destroyed me mentally and physically. Music has always been my getaway, and I just needed some hope. So I played this song and began to dance for what you can call dancing in a wheelchair. At 1 in the morning inside my tiny bedroom. I began to feel hope again. Thank you kodi for sharing your hope and talent for those who need your inspiration. ❤
Been there before, in a small room, looking thru a window covered with a metal cage, overlooking an alley way that was filthy. 15 years later i am a citizen in america. Something ive wanted since 10 years old. I am 34 now and happily married with a beautiful 10m old baby girl overlooking the dtla skyline. May music continue to bless you and guide you. Thank you for sharing
he has a talent that god-given and he has the talent that is truly truly truly haven't sent and I love him and Mark of a good singer for me is if he makes meatball when I sing and he does that
DownEast Gal81, this is prime example of why punctuation matters. Elaine just used the wrong punctuation. They were supposed to put a question mark at the end, not a period, in order to communicate themselves properly. It is supposed to say “Wasn’t that (the standing ovation) beautiful?”, which is a rhetorical question.
He is a once in a lifetime talent no doubt. Beyond that, the look in his mother's face is absolutely the look of pure, perfect love. Her joy for her son almost brings tears to my eyes.
Kudos to you, I remember when I was a kid and helped with an autistic festival that was held every year. Even as a kid, I loved doing it because I have never witnessed the amount of appreciation that was shown at those festivals. In my honest opinion, individuals with autism are the absolute most down to earth people among us and I love it.❤️🙂
kewl...you want a medal or something? being proud of your kid, makes you a decent parent. using their disability as a talking point for conversation makes you a jerk. all you people running around like you're super heroes or something for accepting disabilities of family members or throwing pitty at the disabled community are seriously gross. most of us aren't special and pretty damn regular.
He continues to impress. Wonder if this was for his Mom. Because she is a hero in my book. She nurtured this gift with love and support. So much love!!!💗💗💗 So genuine, honest and pure
Singer wise.. he's really hard to top. His autism has actually made him a prodigy/savant. He has Absolute perfect pitch, audio photographic memory and timing. People who are born with autism are usually misunderstood and treated poorly.. However, one thing to note is that alot of them have extraordinary gifts, high math skills, music, art, etc.. To me Kodi is an inspiration in showing the world what people with autism are able to do.
Kodi, Wow performance ... your mom is just as amazing for nurturing your abilities and a testament that a mother’s love will reach no boundaries to give hope for their children.
You mean the dislikes of this video? Who knows. May be his ethnicity? His outfit? Needing his mom to guide him? The most likely reason is Kodi is achieving the sucess although being doubly disabled, while the haters who are physically able cannot.
I had the same thought about the look on Simon’s face after Kodi ‘s 1st performance. His features looked softened. Just like he looks during this performance.I was was amazed by this!! He was the 1st judges out of his seat after Kodi sang at his 1st performance 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗!
tbh anyone who plays/ed piano know once you learn the keys it’s all muscle memory. so while incredible he learned while blind, playing after you’ve learned, most could play with eyes closed. takes nothing away from his awesomeness. incredible talent!!
His condition has granted him the ability to produce music in it's purist form. When he sings you don't think about the lyrics; you try to imagine yourself in his shoes.
@ EXACTLY. TY DUDE. I'm sorry. Say I'm a dick Idc. But let's spit facts for a second. Yes, what he does is amazing, especially w/ his disability, but he's not as good as most of the people on the show this year. Personally, I liked Robert Finley. Nobody has created music like that since the legendary Otis Redding. He was sensational. And he's gone. That's the thing about this show. It's not America's Got Talent anymore. It's America's Got Sympathy. He's getting pity votes. Which is shitty. If he DIDN'T have a disability, people wouldn't be going as crazy about him as they are. I'm a musician myself all my life, and when I hear music on this show, I close my eyes. He doesn't even compare to Robert's soul, or to Benicio Bryant's lyricism. That's what the sad part is. As I said, I don't knock him at ALL, he's a gift and a blessing. But, there are much more talented people on the show, and they're being underdogged because he has a disability. It's just not fair.

Classy Music Well, like my husband says “everyone else, who is talented, is doing it with all their faculties, but he’s doing it blind AND with full blown autism” so, I’d say that’s pretty incredible.
I love how he does this incredible and deeply moving performance, with the pitch control of an aspiring maestro apprentice, then starts bouncing around like a four year old. Beautiful. God bless him.
You have got to be the first comment that I can see that doesn't sound like you see his disability... thank you for that... he his amazing and even if he wasn't I'd still think he was a good artist...
I do love Kodi! I am so humbled by his innocence and his talent. He is so talented, but doesn't even have the capacity to have an ego about it. It is pure, unadulterated talent and pure innocence. I am brought to tears every time I watch Kodi perform. I love when he is through giving such a breath-taking performance and then he claps for himself with the excitement and innocence of a child. He is truly amazing! I just love him! Also, his mom deserves a medal for mothers if there is such a thing. What an incredible woman!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭 Every time he takes the stage, my fiancée and I can’t help but cry. What beautiful souls that boy and his mother have. He’s been my pick to win since day 1! 💪🎹
His voice is absolutely amazing !! Backstory aside he is better than most mainstream musicians out there. Plays the piano like he was born to do it as well
Marcelo Soprano i hate it when people disregard all the hours kodi has put in to improving his vocal range and general skill, and blame it on “god” i honestly can’t wait for the day when people finally start studying and really realizing that god is just a non existent figure people use for comfort
Not easy task to raise a child and turn him/her into the most amazing icon of the world. Perfect parenthood. Kudos to mama and baba, and the sis and brother of Kodi to give him a conducive environment to grow. Kodi and his family, well done.
He sings out of tune many times in every song I've heard so I don't think he won because of his talent. I mean he does have talent but there are many other singers more talented and his disability definitely helped him win.
@@johncash4187 I'll be honest I didn't know what a savant was until I found Kodi. And you're absolutely correct. I try to listen to one of his performances each day. Just brings a special feeling to ya. The world really needs more Kodi's, or to at least be exposed to him! What a guy.
Mom deserves so much respect for not giving up on her son. Kodi is beyond talented, but his talents affects us all. I'm more inspired than ever to never give up and I wish I could work with special needs. The way they see the world is unlike anything I will ever be able to understand. Please win, Kodi Lee!
Very inspiring and likeable, but I dont vote for backstories, I only vote for talent. If I hide my eyes from his disability, and just listen to his singing, he is not better than several other singers who have made it this far.
@@richard40x talent he had to learn how to play the piano without seeing the keys amd he plays the piano blind thats crazy talent and his voice is amazng as well
@@Josh_M13 Yes, and he is extremely talented considering his disabilities. But how talented is he without considering his disabiities, compared to most of the other AGT singers. I vote for objective talent, not for disabilities or back stories. I will give you one thing though, I think Kodi is better than Benicio or Ainsley.
Ne1tu Awesomeness! Yes it gives me hope as well. People need to start seeing the abilities and not the disabilities of people. Speaking as a parent of a child with autism, they have/ can do so much more than the eye or some test can see. We’ve (Society) gotta stop putting limitations on people with special needs. They are people too. If you really want to work with those with special needs, go for it. Trust me it’s very rewarding. Bless you and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Not only that but hes a real rare guy too. If you do a little research on him you'll find hes one of 7 people in the world considered to have perfect pitch. He can play a bunch of instruments and speak other languages. But that's how autism works. Where something might lack other things excel. A movie called the rain man is about a similar guy who had many disadvantages but had a photographic memory and could read two pages in a book at once.
What's amazing is Callum Scott was amazing in BGT and now people are singing his songs on AGT!!!! Congrats to Kodi for killing this song and way to go to Callum for making it this far!
right? Calums audition will forever be my favorite audition of all time; he's like the better version of Adam Lavine imo. not to mention the MOST VIEWED audition on any 'got talent' show of all time!
@@eleninikaia9337 We are comparing two artists singing the same song. For me Calum Scott has something different. Personally I listened and re listened Calum. scotch audition many times...
Michael Dallas “congrats on killing” the vibe. “I’m just” comparing your comment to all the comments out here. The topic “America loves Kodi Lee”. At least you tried ;)
Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and then there's Kodi Lee. He truly belongs in that elite group! What an angelic voice from the heavens and such an incredible talent!!
Talent like Kodi Lee doesn’t come around too often. I have enjoyed and feel so much emotion when I hear this young man sing. He truly is a blessing to our world and so many that have been given the opportunity to hear music literally in its purest form.
Kodi is truly a blessing. My sister is autistic and loves music as well. It was something that helped her grow. Thanks Kodi! That's also one of my favorite songs by Callum Scott.
@@davesmith2194 Likes vs dislikes gives the world hope. It says the good outnumbers the bad. One day at a time, one person at a time will make each bad person a believer in good.
They also just played this song for Sand Artist, Kseniya Siminova who just got her second golden buzzer, this time though on Britains Got Talent: Champions!
This is a worthy winner. He is amazing, and I’m getting affected every time he sing. And it is such a good talent of playing piano while he is blind and can’t see.
Quiet Storm oh yeah, but some did not, some were scared and afraid for their child and did the best they could which was give them to a family that could love and nurture him. Just shows you what love and having security can do. I am glad that he is safe and happy. I remember when Howard stern took in this badly abused cat who was without hair and loved him and his wife saw him say to her as the cat gazed lovingly, yeah apple I bet those *****holes if they could see where you are now in this million dollar house they would be sorry! I thought it was so cute. And true. How can you hurt a child, or vulnerable person, sick, old, disabled, or retarded, etc. or an animal who will only wants to be loved and taken care of and gives you back so much for so little. Unconditional love, is such a wonderful gift. It hurts my heart and yours to know people can be so selfish and cruel to hurt such a loving kind innocent soul that just wants to love you and be loved and cared for in return. ❤️⭕️❌
I love his talent he’s a beautiful young adult He didn’t win because just how he is he won because of his wonderful talent he’s going somewhere BIG TIME!
@@tristancoveny7664 I bet you he'd probably would have had a harder time with all his senses intact. To see the things we see and the negativity all around us can put a damper on our talent, our imagination and our creativity. He has the privilege of seeing the world as he imagines it and I bet you it has a lot to do with the talent we now appreciate. I mean, we that have everything we know we are blessed but guess what, we use our sight to judge others and even worse, to judge ourselves. Kodi will most probably never feel insecure about his height, his body (if he's slim or fat) if the girl or guy he loves looks like what is acceptable to the world etc. I know it's probably not easy for him, I use probably because he's never had his sights so to him it's easy to do the things we think are not easy for him, it might have been exceptionally difficult for his parents but just take a look at the end product, HE IS THE MAN WE HAVE COME TO KNOW AS KODI LEE. We know him and he stands out for us because of how unique he is.
His voice is the most beautiful one I've ever heard, makes me cry every time😭♥️ Seeing his emotion after every performance, he's overwhelmed with every standing ovation he gets and it shows how humble he really is😭 God Bless him
As a mother to a child with Autism, this just warms my heart. This is proof that just because you have a “disability” doesn’t mean that you can do anything. Those with “disabilities” can do everything others can to- and sometimes more.

I love Simon's facial expression as he listens to Kodi...pure bliss
I now finally realize this boy was born a super star singer period.
I said that on his first audition. Superstar status without a doubt.
Talent for singing, yes it real, but is that enough talent to win AGT..?
@@mugen4516 normal people? lol
Pedro Sanchez normal people as in people not affected by any illness. Stop being so fkn sensitive
Finally?? Lol, it took the first audition for me to realize that!
Calum Scott must be proud after watching this
Kodi Lee did justice to it 😍😍😍
Calum Scott is one of my all time faves and I was so thrilled Kodi sang this!!!!
Mercy Chase : Kodi interpreted the song way better than Calum Scott.
@@maggie_857 no need for comparison!
angelica - shut up!!!!
Kodi, Wow performance ... your mom is just as amazing for nurturing your abilities and a testament that a mother’s love will reach no boundaries to give hope for their children.
Not only is his story great and inspiring but his voice, tone, and range is unbelievably amazing!
He did "You are the Reason"! That was amazing!
Sponsor#1 that’s what I’m saying, I got chills when he did that so perfectly
Kudos to His Mom who is always their supporting him. LoveYouKodiLee
Jupith Orillo I love their relationship, she says this is for you baby. She is a good mama. And he has a wonderful family.
There* but I agree
His mom is amazing!
His dad Pfff. Big props to MOM
I mean obviously she’s a good mom but it seems as if people are shocked that she loves her son.
I like the way he clap and jump, congrats Kodi you are a very talented young guy
Every time I hear him sing it makes me emotional. He’s so naturally amazing. I love hearing him sing.
Like an angel.
I cry every time I hear Kodi Lee sing. He's very talented.
HE HAS REALLY CHANGED THE WORLD WHEN WE GET TO HEAR HIM PLAY AND SING. HE IS SO DESERVING AND SHOULD WIN THIS. SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING.
He is a miracle and a beautiful soul. Makes me cry every time I hear his voice.
He’s not gifted he is THE GIFT
Ooh thats deep
This young man's understanding of music is God given, he's truly blessed .
That and he's blessed us!!!!
How can people NOT like this kid🤦♀️ he’s so talented. I love him I hope he wins.
You mean the dislikes of this video? Who knows. May be his ethnicity? His outfit? Needing his mom to guide him?
The most likely reason is Kodi is achieving the sucess although being doubly disabled, while the haters who are physically able cannot.
I hope he wins too, i think it’s between Kodi lee and V unbeatable but I’d rather go fr Kodi
I've noticed that a lot of people are liking V Unbeatable and want them to win. But Kodi Lee NEEDS to win this!! He is a gift from God. 🙌❤
Dana Grisko I think he’s recognized as being one of the small group of known savants.

True💖💖💖
he looks like a little girl fallen in love
I was just going to comment the same thing.
@@fridag3246 I think that's the botox you're seeing
I had the same thought about the look on Simon’s face after Kodi ‘s 1st performance. His features looked softened. Just like he looks during this performance.I was was amazed by this!! He was the 1st judges out of his seat after Kodi sang at his 1st performance 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗!
You know kodi represents so much more than just talent.
Drama Llama I don’t think anyone really notices either and it’s incredibly sad
@@jbenedict4558 Trust me everyone sees it.
tbh anyone who plays/ed piano know once you learn the keys it’s all muscle memory. so while incredible he learned while blind, playing after you’ve learned, most could play with eyes closed. takes nothing away from his awesomeness. incredible talent!!
His condition has granted him the ability to produce music in it's purist form. When he sings you don't think about the lyrics; you try to imagine yourself in his shoes.
He’s not using his eyes to play the piano , he’s using his ♥️
YUP, ATTA BOY KODI.
His heart emoji?
What a great Golden Buzzer comment...he sure does...
yes.
I think he's using his hands
OMG, I want to cry. Heard every word, and felt every word.
It wasn’t pitch perfect though. Some parts were screechy. No one should win cause of their background, just their talent.
123benny4 me too! He is such a cute kid 😭😭💙
@ EXACTLY. TY DUDE. I'm sorry. Say I'm a dick Idc. But let's spit facts for a second. Yes, what he does is amazing, especially w/ his disability, but he's not as good as most of the people on the show this year. Personally, I liked Robert Finley. Nobody has created music like that since the legendary Otis Redding. He was sensational. And he's gone. That's the thing about this show. It's not America's Got Talent anymore. It's America's Got Sympathy. He's getting pity votes. Which is shitty. If he DIDN'T have a disability, people wouldn't be going as crazy about him as they are. I'm a musician myself all my life, and when I hear music on this show, I close my eyes. He doesn't even compare to Robert's soul, or to Benicio Bryant's lyricism. That's what the sad part is. As I said, I don't knock him at ALL, he's a gift and a blessing. But, there are much more talented people on the show, and they're being underdogged because he has a disability. It's just not fair.

Classy Music
Well, like my husband says “everyone else, who is talented, is doing it with all their faculties, but he’s doing it blind AND with full blown autism” so, I’d say that’s pretty incredible.
Shame on haters who thinks he'll win because he's autistic. Hes genuinely an amazing singer.
When he wins, I’m booking my flight to Vegas to see him the min its announced!!! OMG this guy has my votes!!!
Jay Porchia see u in vegas then
I love how he does this incredible and deeply moving performance, with the pitch control of an aspiring maestro apprentice, then starts bouncing around like a four year old. Beautiful. God bless him.
He has gift from heavens. Every single performance is perfect!
Climb every mountain and swim every ocean for Kodi.
Well done mum👍👍👍
His voice blows me away , he’s amazing
You have got to be the first comment that I can see that doesn't sound like you see his disability... thank you for that... he his amazing and even if he wasn't I'd still think he was a good artist...
Same goes to u
I do love Kodi! I am so humbled by his innocence and his talent. He is so talented, but doesn't even have the capacity to have an ego about it. It is pure, unadulterated talent and pure innocence. I am brought to tears every time I watch Kodi perform. I love when he is through giving such a breath-taking performance and then he claps for himself with the excitement and innocence of a child. He is truly amazing! I just love him! Also, his mom deserves a medal for mothers if there is such a thing. What an incredible woman!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭 Every time he takes the stage, my fiancée and I can’t help but cry. What beautiful souls that boy and his mother have.
He’s been my pick to win since day 1! 💪🎹
His voice is absolutely amazing !! Backstory aside he is better than most mainstream musicians out there. Plays the piano like he was born to do it as well
We all knew his was the winner the moment his first sung caught fire around social media. His voice is a gift from above. God bless this kid!
Marcelo Soprano i hate it when people disregard all the hours kodi has put in to improving his vocal range and general skill, and blame it on “god” i honestly can’t wait for the day when people finally start studying and really realizing that god is just a non existent figure people use for comfort
Tay K’s Wanted Poster it’s my own opinion I could honestly give two fucks about yours.

Not easy task to raise a child and turn him/her into the most amazing icon of the world. Perfect parenthood. Kudos to mama and baba, and the sis and brother of Kodi to give him a conducive environment to grow. Kodi and his family, well done.
The fact that he sang the song on his "Golden Buzzer Moment" gave me chills.
They do that with a lot of other acts too. I assume this is filmed before the auditions even come out.
He won because his voice and talent is incredible!
Very true TheBeckybw
He sings out of tune many times in every song I've heard so I don't think he won because of his talent. I mean he does have talent but there are many other singers more talented and his disability definitely helped him win.
Stop hating on him he is the greatest ever 1 💯♥️
So true...nobody pitied him. Everybody LAUDED him....everybody....
@@LulluNatic 😂 has nothing to do with his disability
The fact that Simon just sits there gleefully watching as if he's in love.
Simon low key a real one but he waits for real talent to show itself
He loves music and seeing a savant is something almost none of us will if it wasnt for Kodi.
Simon daydreaming his 💰
@@johncash4187 I'll be honest I didn't know what a savant was until I found Kodi. And you're absolutely correct. I try to listen to one of his performances each day. Just brings a special feeling to ya. The world really needs more Kodi's, or to at least be exposed to him! What a guy.
@@NoName-zn2qu Simon is used to money. Big money. He loves real talent and he awards them
That mother’s love brings a tear to my eye
Brought tears to my eyes every time I’ve heard him perform so far. Raw talent.
God bless his mama for seeing his gift. Kodie, you’re such an inspiration. Great job sir! Hope you win it all.
Mom deserves so much respect for not giving up on her son. Kodi is beyond talented, but his talents affects us all. I'm more inspired than ever to never give up and I wish I could work with special needs. The way they see the world is unlike anything I will ever be able to understand.
Please win, Kodi Lee!
Very inspiring and likeable, but I dont vote for backstories, I only vote for talent. If I hide my eyes from his disability, and just listen to his singing, he is not better than several other singers who have made it this far.
@@richard40x talent he had to learn how to play the piano without seeing the keys amd he plays the piano blind thats crazy talent and his voice is amazng as well
@@Josh_M13 Yes, and he is extremely talented considering his disabilities. But how talented is he without considering his disabiities, compared to most of the other AGT singers. I vote for objective talent, not for disabilities or back stories. I will give you one thing though, I think Kodi is better than Benicio or Ainsley.
Ne1tu Awesomeness! Yes it gives me hope as well. People need to start seeing the abilities and not the disabilities of people. Speaking as a parent of a child with autism, they have/ can do so much more than the eye or some test can see. We’ve (Society) gotta stop putting limitations on people with special needs. They are people too.
If you really want to work with those with special needs, go for it. Trust me it’s very rewarding. Bless you and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
I wish he could see the looks on everyone’s faces. I love this kid I get chills every time he sings.
I've been crying at all of performances, he such a talented man. Beautiful.
I cry too, every time I hear Kodi Lee sing. His vocals reach deep into your soul. No other singer makes me cry like this.
And the winner of AGT 2019 is.... Kodi Lee!! Great Job!! This guy will win it this year! Unbelievable!!!

@@sachin9050 looking at your name, you may be slightly biased
It's so weird how he has disadvantages and can't do many things but music just flows in his bloodstream
Amen
💯
yea well you seem to have a mental disadvantage but here we are. look at you typing words n shit! :o
EK7 That’s because playing music uses a different part of the brain
Not only that but hes a real rare guy too. If you do a little research on him you'll find hes one of 7 people in the world considered to have perfect pitch. He can play a bunch of instruments and speak other languages. But that's how autism works. Where something might lack other things excel. A movie called the rain man is about a similar guy who had many disadvantages but had a photographic memory and could read two pages in a book at once.
love how expressive his eyes and eyebrows are while he sings
YESSSS!! SO DO I.
I watch this video everyday! The excitement of the audience and the pure joy on Kodi’s face makes me happy even on bad days. I love you Kodi.
I'm replying so you have to watch it again
What's amazing is Callum Scott was amazing in BGT and now people are singing his songs on AGT!!!! Congrats to Kodi for killing this song and way to go to Callum for making it this far!
Michael Dallas it’s Calum
right? Calums audition will forever be my favorite audition of all time; he's like the better version of Adam Lavine imo. not to mention the MOST VIEWED audition on any 'got talent' show of all time!
eleni Nikaia Why are you being rude?
@@eleninikaia9337 We are comparing two artists singing the same song. For me Calum Scott has something different. Personally I listened and re listened Calum. scotch audition many times...

The topic “America loves Kodi Lee”.
At least you tried ;)

Who else started crying 😭 before watching??? He’s the true definition of unbelievable.
I put my phone down and clapped after I watched this. This kid has a voice of an angel.
I know right! I turned my phone off this time so I could watch without people calling me for no reason....lol
Me too 😁😁😁😁😁

Yes it's but let me asking you one question have you ever heard the voice of an angel?

Talent like Kodi Lee doesn’t come around too often. I have enjoyed and feel so much emotion when I hear this young man sing. He truly is a blessing to our world and so many that have been given the opportunity to hear music literally in its purest form.
Other contestants backstage: "That's ok, I really didn't wanna win this season anyways."
I definitely wouldn't be mad or sad, or negative in any way if I lost to Kodi.
I would be the happiest if came runner up to him that’s a compliment to me he is to good
Lol
@@luzyland175 sooo true😄 Kodi literally has the ability to make me emotional or give me goosebumps every time he gets on stage

Kodi is truly a blessing. My sister is autistic and loves music as well. It was something that helped her grow. Thanks Kodi! That's also one of my favorite songs by Callum Scott.
There’s absolutely no reason to dislike this people!
Lols you are daring them to dislike the video, there's always gonna be someone who dislikes the video for no apparent reason.

This song was by callum, simons golden buzzer boy. This was on purpose
Fun fact: If you watch his audition again, this is his background song.
Simon says that’s the song that came in when Gabrielle hit the golden buzzer
The same thing happened with Luke Islam, he sang his golden buzzer song. Albeit in the quarters, not the semis
@Jennifer Combs Callum Scott
Simon literally said this lol
They also just played this song for Sand Artist, Kseniya Siminova who just got her second golden buzzer, this time though on Britains Got Talent: Champions!
Thank you Kodi, you made me happy again. My brother is autistic, hearing this song was a blessing, we are living among angels. ♥
This is a worthy winner. He is amazing, and I’m getting affected every time he sing. And it is such a good talent of playing piano while he is blind and can’t see.

Quiet Storm oh yeah, but some did not, some were scared and afraid for their child and did the best they could which was give them to a family that could love and nurture him. Just shows you what love and having security can do. I am glad that he is safe and happy. I remember when Howard stern took in this badly abused cat who was without hair and loved him and his wife saw him say to her as the cat gazed lovingly, yeah apple I bet those *****holes if they could see where you are now in this million dollar house they would be sorry! I thought it was so cute. And true. How can you hurt a child, or vulnerable person, sick, old, disabled, or retarded, etc. or an animal who will only wants to be loved and taken care of and gives you back so much for so little. Unconditional love, is such a wonderful gift. It hurts my heart and yours to know people can be so selfish and cruel to hurt such a loving kind innocent soul that just wants to love you and be loved and cared for in return. ❤️⭕️❌
This is on repeat. I am crying again and again. Love you Kodi Lee. Thank you to the Lee family for this precious gift.
I love his talent he’s a beautiful young adult He didn’t win because just how he is he won because of his wonderful talent he’s going somewhere BIG TIME!
When the lord takes away things you need to function properly in life, but replaces your voice with that of an angel.
This young man is truly blessed.
Saying he's blessed is a stretch. I bet you he'd trade his voice for a normal life 10/10 times
@@tristancoveny7664 he does have a normal life, just a little more challenging than ours
@@tristancoveny7664 I bet you he'd probably would have had a harder time with all his senses intact. To see the things we see and the negativity all around us can put a damper on our talent, our imagination and our creativity. He has the privilege of seeing the world as he imagines it and I bet you it has a lot to do with the talent we now appreciate.
I mean, we that have everything we know we are blessed but guess what, we use our sight to judge others and even worse, to judge ourselves. Kodi will most probably never feel insecure about his height, his body (if he's slim or fat) if the girl or guy he loves looks like what is acceptable to the world etc.
I know it's probably not easy for him, I use probably because he's never had his sights so to him it's easy to do the things we think are not easy for him, it might have been exceptionally difficult for his parents but just take a look at the end product, HE IS THE MAN WE HAVE COME TO KNOW AS KODI LEE. We know him and he stands out for us because of how unique he is.
Tristan Coveny so ur saying that he isnt normal?? Rude
@@Jujuumobi beautifully put 😊
he so gifted. eventhough he sound maybe a little bit nervous, but as an authism man singing with such voice he is standing on top of the world.

Seeing his emotion after every performance, he's overwhelmed with every standing ovation he gets and it shows how humble he really is😭 God Bless him
As a mother to a child with Autism, this just warms my heart. This is proof that just because you have a “disability” doesn’t mean that you can do anything. Those with “disabilities” can do everything others can to- and sometimes more.
