Watch Kodi Lee's PRICELESS Reaction as he watches his own audition playback - HERE: talentrecap.com/watch-kodi-lees-pricless-reaction-to-his-own-agt-audition-playback/
Woow
Wow 😲
We love you top Kodi!!! I'm a great GMA and you just made my night! And on grinning from ear to ear!!!!
How the hell does a blind man WATCH his own reaction????
🤔
If this guy doesnt win.....ill never watch this show again Edit: He won. Thank god. He deserved it. They finally got it right for once.
V unbeatable
sorry ....i don't think so
Gosh I said the exact same thing!! Never watch it again!!!!
Yeah ya will 😉 lol. But I feel ya! I get full body goosebumps and am inv tears by the end of every performance of his. 🤟💞
Same and I will cry, out of the last 5 seasons. He is the most impressive, from not being able to see the keyboard to being able to be infront of all those people. 95% of autistic kids, get really nervous, emotional, etc. They cant handle being around others. He is an inspiration.
That's why they say autism isn't a disability.Its a different ability.Extra ordinary.
bucky rocky His autism gave him the ability to hear a song and play it back perfectly without sheet music after only a couple of times hearing it. When you combine that with a perfect sense of pitch, you have something that is truly rare
I love your comment!!! So true!
Best comment EVER!
@@ethanaday4076 Thanks❤️❤️
@@kathrynmariani5825 thank u dear❤️❤️❤️
Playing piano is hard enough when you can see. That kid is an inspiration.
@@richardwiggins3186 but he can hear a song once or twice and play it perfectly
I can’t even play the piano! This is just amazing! Pure talent.
And a 🤴 king
@@richardwiggins3186 People who are learning to play, that was his point, its hard to learn when you can't visually process it.
I have a neighbour who was born without a single hand but he plays guitar like a pro, with his legs. I can watch and listen to him playing Smokie songs all days.
He has a really wonderful mother. Thanks to her for what she does.
Well said I agree
She's a priceless mother for this God gifted child.
❤ Amen
His mother is an amazing Human Being. The way she motivates him before his performances is adorable.
Mothers are underrated dude
😄
So true. Mothers are the greatest creatures ever.
If we all had moms like this. ..
Agreed, the mother is as much of an angel as him
He’s showed everyone that being disabled doesn’t necessarily mean you’re unable. No matter what, he’s a winner in my eyes
jdpg34 I love this comment, God bless you
jdpg34 mine too. He’s such an inspiration
You know what’s sad too... doctors encouraged his mom to abort him because he was sought to have disabilities. What a world we live in
well said same mo here,kodi's fan from Philippines.
jdpg34 🦋
I've never heard such a beautiful voice. Idc if hes blind or autistic that's not why he won. He won bc hes got it. You dont hear these people alot. I'm glad his mom showed us.
He’s both and he is incredibly talented
important to consider that being autistic doesn't necessarily make it harder for him, might be quite the opposite. He definitely won it, I wouldn't say he has the most beautiful voice I've heard, but it's def a top 5 male voice that I've heard.
Pfffft of course that's why he won. Benicio Bryant was robbed by this stupid show being liberal and crap. That why I stopped
@@calebparkhurst9722 Oh stop,have a Heineken.
@@calebparkhurst9722 Your life must lack so much joy to be upset someone like kodi won
Only singer who deserves to win AGT!
I doubt he’s the only one
For real - got talent is saturated with singers, idk why they won’t go to voice or other shows smh
Because The Voice isn’t for everyone
Just give my dude the prize money and contract already
Right?!
IKR💖💖💖
he is soo amazing!!!
There’s many other people that have had better voices than this man. Yes he’s talented but people need to realize conditions and their past shouldn’t be counted into their audition. If you only got to listen to people that sing and didn’t get to see them or their past, then people would vote differently.
@@brentonwilden3885 he's not just talented.. This man is gifted. He is only one of a handful of people alive to be able to play and sing in perfect pitch any song he listens too by memory pretty much 🤷♂️ most people that gifted have some sort of autism spectrum due too so much activity in that part of the brain..
I wish they would have turned the lights completely off to have everyone in that room experience the song how he experiences it.
That would have been very cool! Makes you really focus on the lyrics and music too!
Honestly that would’ve been a good idea.
Right!? Underrated comment!
such a good ideaaaaa!
That’s an amazing idea.
As a future neurologist I have to say how fascinating Kodi is. I do not know him as a person, unfortunately. But seeing how severely affected he is by autism, it is touching and amazing that he, through music, has found a way to have a common language with everyone, and not only that, he speaks it better than most, and can touch us that way, and show us the person that he is. Autism is a condition that makes socializing and communication difficult, but Kodi has found a channel through those difficulties. It's amazing to watch.
I just want to make sure you know, since you say you’ll be working in the field, that being autistic is hard since most systems aren’t made for us. And it’s not something just something that we have, it’s a huge part of who we are. Autism doesn’t “affect” us, and “severe” or low/high levels of autism aren’t really a thing. Just because other people experience our autism more/less, doesn’t men that we are more/less autistic. Also, I’ve been thinking about going to college to get a degree in psychology or medicine or neurology :) Do you have any info about what jobs are in neurology, what you learn about in college classes, etc.? Thank you! 😊
@@Jordan-hk5ck I know you were asking the person who posted, but I’m here to tell you that I work in medicine/research and many of my colleagues have ASD, particularly in neuroscience.
Having two autistic children this has brought me to tears... This is incredible
Good luck with your career
As a future nfl quarterback, I imagine I’ll be seeing Thor L pretty frequently
Kodi will never read these wonderful comments, but I'd like to believe he still feels all the love and that the universe communicates it to him in ways he can feel.
Wel said it’s true every word🙂
So true
Apple products offer things that other companies don't... like the ability to have comments read out loud to them. Quite innovative for those with blindness and other impairments.
Yes
Maybe his mother will read these comments and that will give her more strength and happiness although kody is get source of biggest happiness 🤍
Kodi's mom is amazing, too. There are so many kids with disabilities who don't get this kind of love and support and I feel sure she would be just as loving and kind to him even if he were not so gifted. God bless you Kodi's mom! :D
kevoice right. She is like my parents were.
kevoice hugs! From a mum that has a child with Aspergers. He’s in honors classes. Top 2 percentile. He’s my world! I home schooled him for 8 years. 🥰
@@MzClementine hugs back to you 2 :) Congratulations on raising such a smart kiddo!
Ikr
@kevoice that's such a valid point 💯
Imagine being a contestant on this season of AGT, sitting back stage wishing you'd waited til next year to audition cause this year already has a clear winner.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Everybody at the live shows is already winning, they’re now known country wide and all get show gigs regardless of where they place.
I will cry if he doesnt win, I actually mean that.
Who do you think the winner will be? I’m cheering on Kodi and Tyler Butler Figueroa
Life is not only about winning my friend
This dude transforms after his mom talks to her before playing
Aap gjb
Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh
Basically activating The Winter Soldier of music.
GASP! MIND CONTROL!
Yessss maam!!!!!! Power
He needs a record deal I would buy all his whole album
Same
the only thing is that the industry already pushes so many people past their limits and takes advantage of them so much so that i'd really hope whoever it is that signs him at least has the basic empathy to take the factors that overwhelm him into account and find a route through which they can work hand in hand with it instead of against it.
Follow him on Instagram: kodileerocks. He tours around a bit. He did a show either today or yesterday. He was doing shows before AGT so he probably just gets booked more now :)
Yes us all
This competition was over the moment Kodi opened his mouth.
He copied james Graham's the four performance. Nice.
He needs to work on his runs. His coach is making them up. They sound old.
He's good, but let's be honest, Marcin Patrzalek should really win this. Too bad there's no sob story for him to cash off of.
@Jaime you're deaf dude. He missed a lot of notes in his runs. It pretty obvious.
@@hannah2250 you're a liar. Any ear untrained or not can hear the runs are not good.
Who else thought that conversation before the performance was super cute and made you smile?
Me💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I thought it was awkward maybe just me🤷♂️
Thats just sad ...
I thought it was cool because that's their relationship. I've heard him sing before, but this time. His vocal still shock everything out of me, and they had that conversation before. So Amazing!!!!
I cant believe a less-fortunate person is able to sing better than me .... I sing like a dying goat :'(
I and a lot of people usually complain about "young people with a sad history" winning the show - but my bruda, Kodi Lee totally deserves to win because HE GOT A TALENT
No joke I cried. He is so inspirational, and I love him so much. He deserves every bit of praise, and every congratulations out there.
Blindness and autism aside, I have not been moved by a performance as powerfully as he moved me in a very, very long time. Beyond comprehension. This guy is a gift to us, I hope we utilize it appropriately. Peace
Watch his first one, even better
God bless him he is one of God's😇😂
He’s not completely blind, does not take away how talented he is doe
shavguru He, Kody, already has utilized it for good work bringing people together; and showing that everyone IS a gift to us. We need to be loving to others no matter what.
@shavguru, AMEN TO THAT 🙌👍
He gives us all reason to get up in the morn and say I can do this.
Yes and you just made me cry even more
Right you are
The morn
Yes he does! Amazing soul
Amen! When I'm bored, I go listen to ALL of his auditions. His voice is so beautiful.. That's how you relax in a bath..
The little playful thing between him and his mom at the beginning is so cute.
I really needed to feel inspired, today. My daughter, Constance, is autistic. Seeing Kodi enjoy his gifts just made me feel amazing. I'm reminded of my daughter's own gifts as a writer. Thank you, Kodi. You're an inspiration and a light in the darkness.
I wish a good life to your daughter sir stay safe.
Your a hero. God blesses you❤️
God bless you and your daughter. I wish you both happiness.
@@unboxtech4189 Thank you so much.
My granddaughter is autistic too, I just love her even more, she's bright, funny always something different every day, were so blessed to have them in our lives
To make a long story short if he doesn't win we riot, simple as that. EDIT: he won.
See this is what I'm talking about! Not everyone has parents like this, that allow you to grow and be and don't look at your lack of the formal mold of a human as a disability. My brother is 41 and developementally disabled and HAD he had parents like this, I'm almost certain he would have played in the NBA if not college ball. He was THAT good! Any way- amen and God bless this young man and his family!!!
Recruit me from Kenya. He has to win, period.
Sign me in mate
I'm with you on this one...
no way jose
Realistically thinking, he actually has a shot to win this
Sob story, Special Condition, Beautiful Voice, Child Prodigy, Beautiful Personality. Of course he’s going to win.
Dustin Crisci yeah because people feel bad for him
Ronaldo Vega no, because he actually has talent and still has a beautiful personality and a bright smile spread on his face after all he’s been through
@@ronaldovega4281 Lol you clearly hate yourself.
Stan Bangtan Lucas Islam is way better than him and having a good personality doesn’t win you anything
Gets me everytime when she says “let’s do it...boom”
My man Terry in the background is jamming out to this one.
its not sympathy. he truly is an amazing singer and for him to go up there and put his heart into it.. its just unbelievable. kodi for the win !!!
Totally agree!!
Absolute truth!
Well it does have a little bit of sympathy because if he wasn’t special he wouldn’t have made it this far most of his notes are not in the right tone and his voice shakes a lot doing high notes
Exactly
@manditheos do u understand or no
This should be trending instead of Jake Paul
Most 10 year old girls don't understand beauty like this yet, but they do understand 20 year old guys with a brain of 10 year old. Just how it is
Jon Blund true :((
Off the cam jake paul is ignorant kind of man he had a petition case to be kick out at Calabasas because of his noise brigade and deadly stunts and he made a drag race and drift contest at Calabasas at early 2am of the morning kids now a days should be awaken that jake paul is not a good example to there lives
KZhead has favoritism
Thank you for saying this 😀
It’s 3rd of February, 2021, still here
We're in March now baby!
it's the way he interprets these songs, his musicality is amazing
they really did him dirty with that thumbnail
Shayd 💀
That’s a bruh moment
Justin Guaragno 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol right were not shocked we knew how good he his and they really had to let us know hes bkind likd we didnt know lol damn thumb nails
Shayd Facts
This proves that no matter what you have gone through, you can still accomplish your dreams and make a positive impact in the world...
Actually his condition is what made him a genius in music he can literally play anything if he listen to it just one time
THIS IS FOR THE THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE HIM THUMBS DOWN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSRLF. THIS YOUNG MAN IS BLIND FOR GOD'S SAKE. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU. GLAD HE DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK TO THE THUMBS DOWN NERDS FOR SUPPORT. GREAT JOB YOUNG MAN. YOU ARE TOTALLY A INSPIRATION. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. FOLLOW YOUR DREAM AND NEVER SAY NEVER. GOD BLESS YOU.
I think its fake
@@luisduron2333 so was ronny milsap..
@@luisduron2333 WHY?
I love how his mom speaks when needed but let’s him speak and soak in on the glory otherwise. What an amazing family.
I’ve never seen a performance so heartfelt like this one in my life. He can sing and play. This performance was so inspiring . Believing in people makes the world go round.
I have two autistic step daughters and when they get a little bit older I will show them your clips. You are truly and inspiration.
Just be with them all time, and show them how they can be their selfs, and there is nothing can stop them other then their selfs. I hope you all have wonderful life and keep smiling 😄
While I was very touched by Kodis performance and him being autistic too. I think the best you can do is support your step daughters and their interests and abilities. Some autistic will never find extreme talent and it’s hard for them as everyone thinks that every autistic person has some type of extreme ability.
Thank goodness for your talent. You are so adorable
@Seth Ledbetter 1) your making fun of his blindness 2) it can be read to him
Xoxo
There's your 2019 AGT winner right there.
For sure... I paid to see him! Definitely million dollar act!!
I said this from the getgo! GO KODI!
@mojo ?
Yes yes yes
The whole thing is a fraud if he doesn't win.
He sang with his soul without a doubt, nervous & shy..
After Paul gave permission for Kodi to sing his most treaured song, he had to be humbled... Best rendition ever where the lyrics, voice and music blends in true meaning and harmony!
OH MY GOD!!! I cried since the beginning! My child is 7 yrs old, Au and mute, but once in a while I hear him singing so very softly.... This angel has been blessed in SO MANY WAYS! Shine, baby, shine! And reach for the stars!! P.S. Thank you so much for all the likes!!! And for your support, it means a lot to me and my family. Bless you all!!
Your child is a blessing and Like the comment before, you should get a pet, it will help your child and well be its best friend
Stay strong. God has a plan for each one of us and your child is Gods gift to everyone. We dont know what gift yet but it will show up one day.
Why not encourage him to take up music, as Kodi's mother did, she said it was his saving grace Maybe it could be the same for your child
@@anninriverside755 My nephew is also on the Asperger scale and cannot eat food with colour in it.
Shine baby shine? Really?
we can't imagine what the life of Kodi's mom has been like... salute to her.
Salute
Probably pretty good now
What do you mean? She is, was and always will be lucky with him. No sympathy needed, that's a blessed family
A Salute for you, Ma'am! God bless you, always.
@@Ismael-ge6gv Having an autistic child is challenge enough, this boy is also blind. The everyday struggle to try to give him the best and the constant worry about him is a big deal. Is easy to say "lucky" when is not you who need to be aware of someone 24/7.
In his world, there is no hate, no prejudice, and no anger. That's why his music is so pure.
Singing triggers a different part of the brain than speech, which is why there seems to be such a difference in his communication between the two. I’m in awe at his talent.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Kodi may be blind, but his world is beautiful and we are so blessed that he shares it with us. Thank you Kodi, you make the world that much more of a beautiful place to live in.
"The world is not beautiful, therefore it is."
He not a it
@@moe110 what do you mean?
@@moe110 "he shares it with us" ("it" meaning Kodi's musical world)
Sunstreaky - very well written:)
I don’t care what you say, I’m 35 , a grown ass man .... he brought me too tears.
37 here. Every. Damn. Time.
He almost got me... Lol
That's because you have a soul
I beat u 1 decade dude!!!
Me too, and with another eight years on top of that
Kodi offers us an incredible example of the miraculous and magical nature of music. Although autism may have impeded his ability to express himself through speaking, music frees him to draw upon the deep well of his humanity and beauty and share it with the world. And we are better off for it. Thank you to Kodi, his mom, and everyone else who helped him realize his potential.
The people that disliked this, have no idea what talent is. Kodi Lee still brings me to tears today🥰🥺
Maybe some people dislike this because they feel that a vulnerable person is being exploited. While your 15 minutes of fame may be what a neurotypical person craves, is it what Kodi truly wants? How much autonomy does he have in this situation?
*I don't have the rights to complain about life. God bless our ears. Thank you Kodi.* 💕
You can say that again
*No one has the rights to complain about Life, Life is best possible gift*
@@PhO3NiX96 Tell that to the people who are tortured their entire life
@@MrMemer You're talking about the path of Life that some people got for some reasons, i'm talking about the act of living.
Before he start.. He count the keys therefore he could start an accurate key and pitch
That's so sick. Dude is going to win for sure.
Aaron Nava that technique shows him that he is an intelligent musician, and when he sang, it proves of his excellency...
aaron meant that as a compliment..
@@hiddenmusician2589 Yeah I'm not insulting Kodi lol That's just how we talk where I'm from. What I meant was, "That's amazing how he counted the keys so he can start perfectly".
Xyzziii haha sorry i did not mean it as a compliment
Where he said I love you u all at the end I lost it! 🥺😩❤️
You can just see something special click on in his brain when he starts to find the notes on the piano. Truly an inspiration
I salute Kodi's mom for not shying away with him and having came out to show the world how amazing her son is and his raw talent 😭💖
Moms are lion Moms are Angel Moms are nature Moms are moonlight Moms are god
Mom knows how to invest and to change a liability into an asset
😭💞🙏 breaks my💔 when you realize the cause of all this autism, if the 🐑📺 would just wake up already & stop denying the proof
Winner of agt 2019, Kodi Lee. Thumbs up if you agree. Despite his disability, he's such a real gem 💎
Hmm... not sure if “despite” is the right word here.
Honestly, there is so much talent that I cannot predict who will win. I have too many favorite performances. I will leave the winner in God’s hand.
Grace made me vote for the first time on AGT I split my vote on Darci and Angelica This year there is only one to vote for.... Kodi. Lee !!!! Pure heart and soul
I think Ansley will win,
@@johnjap2 I love Grace VanderWaal 💖
I have been working in the disability field for 12 and a half years and I love seeing people like Kodi Lee being encouraged by their families to not limit themselves to what some people think they should. So many great messages on here from all over, I'm from Australia and am a massive fan of this young man
Kodi is absolutely pure talent. Simon nailed it with his comments.
After watching this I have no right to complain about my life. And for clarification I am not insulting anyone or Kodi. I am just saying that we should all be grateful for what we have in life. My cousin is autistic and has mental health issues so I would never insult anyone with a disability. He is happy in life and I am grateful to have a special relationship with him. ✌ to you all
Yeah, makes us grateful for what we have in life.
Billy Mead I don’t think you meant to but you’re insulting Kody. You’re making his life out to be miserable but it’s not. This is how he’s always known life and he’s living it just as we all live ours. It’s disrespectful to say things like this about people with disabilities. I’m not trying to call you out or be rude but it’s something that people say often about those with disabilities and it’s insulting to them.
Exactly people that has all the abilities to do better in life sit around complain day in day out while kodie is blind but out here blessing our souls with music
me too
I know, huh? I can't even believe myself sometimes...
I've waited month's to see Kodi's next performance and to be honest I'm at a loss for words. I'm truly mindblown. An amazingly beautiful rendition of an iconic American classic. Thank you Kodi, Tina and the Lee fam. for being a huge source of inspiration to millions and millions of people.
Me too
jason w he’s doing what other people do but with a disability he’s like a magician in Disneyland for disabled people.
God is so cruel but loving at the same time.
he makes me cry everytime he sings. so beautiful
We are blessed to be able to hear this incredibly talented young man
Been waiting for this performance since the first episode. He BROUGHT it.
SimplyYue same here.....he’s a true gift to the arts.
Yes babe i am waiting for you also simply yue
Me too!!
Me too babes
I wish I could vote for him, too bad I'm oceans away. I love you Kodi from South Africa
Dimpho Leyane you actually can , by using the web with a vpn , search on a about that forum
🙌🏾🇿🇦🔥
Yessz SA
SA loves Kodi😊❤

When the spirit is pure, the impact is golden.
I love when Kodi says "YEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Him and all of his family are just so amazing and I love how you can tell his mother totally zones the whole audience out and focuses on interacting with just Kodi. So amazing!
I guess they already know the winner of AGT this season. Kodi is most deffo God sent !
Mr kekeli Ernest yeah but we all know chris klafford is better than kodi
Killer Pro is right... If a singer wins AGT it will be Chris Klafford for sure.... His vocals are amazing...
People have the most sympathy for him cos his disabled. I don't doubt his talent, but They always get the most love cos of their condition so it leaves more of an impact on viewers and they just get more love when reality is he doesn't deserve to win. There is better talents on the show. His got a incredible voice but he shouldn't win.
I love when he says to his fans at the end “Thank you for all your support and I love you all!” It’s just so genuine and there’s no second guessing him.
I lost my dog for 12yrs a day before this performance. This song was perfect to hear. Even though I cried so hard, it was what I needed!!!
What a sweet old soul voice coming from this kid.
HE DESERVES TO WIN, BUT NOT BECAUSE OF HIS CONDITION, BUT FOR HIS COURAGE, BRAVERY AND HIS TALENT. HE IS SO TALENTED, TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE PIANO WHEN YOU ARE BLIND? 98% OF HUMANS CAN'T DO THAT WITH THEIR SIGHT OK. And the voice? BEAUTIFUL. NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND GOOD WISHES TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
You just said “not cuz of his condition”, but then you later on continue to acknowledge his blindness😂😬
@@heyboss3033 I think but I'm not sure, they might have been comparing just bieng able to play the piano, and then just adding a guess on how many people cant play it. But I'm not sure
@@anyaziemer4483 yeaaa but im just saying that the commenters argument makes no sense as to why lee should win. it makes no sense
@@heyboss3033 he meant autism
He’s not gonna win
By far, seeing his 1st performance will be one of the greatest moments I’ve seen on TV. Amazing.
Nicolle Van Dyke Same this was good but that first performance will always be one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen on tv
He’s literally built for this. Lucky he has a wonderful mother who fostered his talent. It’s unreal the level of chills it gives me listening to him
Incredible talent! Love his voice!
Kodi is the example to all of us that anyone and everyone can accomplish their goals. As a retired special needs teacher I have been waiting for the world to realize everyone is capable of anything. I believe Kodi was sent by God to open the eyes and hearts of mankind. Fantastic job Kodi. You deserve to win. My choice is for you to win, your talent is the best this year and the best AGT has ever seen.
Yes that is true. I want to learn more about you.
Yes you said the truth.
Even me I want to know more a bout you I have my brother with a disability. He can't speak until now he is 20 years but still can't speak well
will dose Though your brother is 20 and just started speaking doesn't mean he can't accomplish things. His gift or talent may not yet have been found or recognized. EVERYONE has a gift, every single one of us. It may not be a gift like Kodi but a gift none the less. It can be a gift such as the ability to show love to everyone or bringing comfort or a smile to everyone. Be strong, love your brother, and let him know he is very special and can do anything.
He's not more talented than Glennis Grace, but his performances are the most astonishing of all I've seen on the show - ever. The fact that he can play the piano like that and sing like that despite his condition...it's mind boggling. He's just so good, he needs to win this!
Conspicuously absent on this clip, but genuinely acknowledged, is the fact that the composer of this song, Paul Simon, considers this as his masterpiece...and rarely does he ever give permission for ANYONE to perform it. Paul simply does NOT want this piece of musical treasure to be exploited and trivialized...as is his right as author and composer. The fact that he gave permission within 30 mins of viewing Cody's performance speaks volumes! Well done, Cody, and thank you, Paul, for making this moment possible! Well done...well done! :-)
Matt B. I had no idea that’s amazing thank you for telling us!!!
He let Bebe and CeCe do it on their debut CD.
I don't know if this is true- since the song has many covers. One of em is Sam Harris. Permission maybe to be televised.
I applaud him for doing so
@@terryessence4789 its true he did have to gave the ok to be perform and air .
im so thankful he won. AGT always lets people win for their story, he won for his talent. and im so happy his mom actually is nice and patient with him. most kids who have disabilities, their parents get so angry and stressed. god bless him and his family.
When i saw this i thought it was gonna be some normal piano and singing but BOY WAS I WRONG.. this boy has got the voice of an angel. PERIODT
We FOUND the Winner!! Congratulations Kodi, you're amazing!!
Irma Hart OohhYEAH ERIC CHIEN VS KODI LEE VS V UNBEATABLE 🤘🤘
Tyler Butler-Figueroa
Angirson Lopez OOHH YEAH I LOVE HIM
But, nevertheless, he is amazing. Don't forget he's autistic and blind as well. He really is amazing. Testimony of love and devotion of a "Mother's LOVE".
Don't forget he is autistic and blind? U make it seem like a perk that makes the performance somehow better... Nonetheless, I agree... he is an amazing singer... I didn't enjoy this performance compared to his first one though!
Yeah he’s good
Wow! Is he blind and autistic? I had no idea!
And his love to music.
how does he learn how to play piano blind? so amazingly talented
I worked with kids with special needs and every time I see Kodi I makes my heart ❤️ warm with love for him.... he is amazing and I’m so happy his mom saw his talent and not let it go to waste. Thank you Kodi, you are wonderful. I will duty whatever you put out, much love.....
Just love how his mom is always there for him right before each performance to be his rock and encourage him. A lot of thanks and all the roses to her.
😭😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. He is a living proof that you can accomplish anything despite your circumstances. He got my vote
Just because 1 person can do this doesn’t mean every single person can do so, not all kids with autism can do this so don’t treat this one case as a way to say everyone is capable because the sad truth is they aren’t.
Collin Moleme my brother has autism and he won’t be able to do much. He can barely play baseball
He is blind... And he is making us blindly fall in love with his voice... 😍😍😍😍
I can see that :-)
He has a disability... And he is disabling the competition... 😍😍😍😍
Man the way his face just lights up with excitement when he is feeling the love from everyone just makes ya smile..
Truly inspirational. I’m gonna forever remember watching this for the rest of my life
this is the worse laptop i've ever owned... the screen is making me cry for some reason.
MenO doesn't make sense much but okay

@@Cutestkuma U good kid?
I love the way he says “Yeahhh!” Before each act he does.
I am Snowii he literally sounds like Steve Smith from american dad when he says “yeahh”
Yeahhh!
Beautifully performed! The levels of Inflection in his voice, Just magical.
I love how his mom always gives him a confident talk before he starts
Noticed a lot of young Elton John vocal similarity and Stevie Wonder persona in this bright kid. God bless you Kodi. Keep winning and not just hearts.
Austrin Alick I see a little John Legend in his delivery too.
stevie wonder? 🤔
@@Marcio_diazjust so you don't misinterpret my opinion as something to do with his disability but his overall personality as being larger than life. Yes.
Heh heh, I just got finished writing something similar.. I'm hearing the styles of Elton John, Billy Joel, and who knows who else, and his vocals just come from some other place.. I'm still wiping my glasses off trying to see..😁👍
Me too. I can kinda see the Elton John's voice
He's a bit of Ray Charles , a bit Elton John. But 100% Kodi. Just amazing. 🙏🙏
Took the words out of my mouth
Don’t forget Stevie Wonder
YES!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yeah 🤓
Amazing Talent bwo!!
I can't get over how amazing you are Kodi. My respect also go to your mom. She raised an amazing son May God bless you both.
This teaches us how we should treat and deal with people like kodi; sure god took something away from him but gave him a speechless talent and I do believe that all who suffer from what he does got a talents need to be discovered and looked after. A heart full of love goes to his adorable mum ; she’s brilliant, passionate and affectionate, thanks to her to let us hear this king blowing voice
I’m a 52 y/o man and young man brought me to tears. Very inspiring! You go Kodi!!!
👍
Yeah ☺
Hi Keith. He brings me to tears every time I listen to his music I'm a piano player myself and I can't compare to the Talent that this young man possesses.. take care!!😊
Same. My son isn't blind but is very autistic and at 12 years old still in nappies and can't speak a word so I sort of understand his mom and what she has to deal with. Kodi is an angel 😇
Keith Martin me to
I would love to hear him sing Bohemian rhapsody.
Or jealous by labrinth!!!
He sang somebody to love go watch it
yes absolutely!
Imagine that
OMG YESSSS!!!
Even if he's blind , His will didn't ever let him get depressed for it , and looking forward to the future Wow :) Even the god itself can't stop this legend . Keep it up brother
This just goes to show that you can never judge anyone by the way they appear. And having an autistic challenged child myself, I give this mother , and family all the credit in the world. It's a tough road. God bless you all.
This dude is GIFTED. Something about his voice reminds me of Elton John 🤔
Was thinking about how much i want to hear him sing rocket man
yes!
- Yeah SAME here! I thought I was alone glad to know I was not!
That would be an amazing duet if he could perform with Elton, or even just sing one of his songs!
It's sir Elton John by the way 😂
It's hard to sing an iconic, well-known song without copying the original or ruining it by trying to make it different. I think he did well.

I would say to make him better vocally he should get a vocal coach because this is raw talent. Imagine if he had someone take his voice to the next level. Kodi get that vocal coach buddy and keep inspiring the world!
