https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDPdRYF7hTQ America’s Got Talent is back on NBC and I was not sure how the new judges, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough, would do. Well, Union is proving to be the heart of the show.
Kodi Lee, a 22-year-old man who is blind and autistic, came out with his amazing mom Tina. The judges asked him some questions and he told them that he is going to sing for them. He sat down at the piano and started to play Donny Hathaway’s A Song For You. Once he sang his first note and you heard his soulful voice, the tears began to stream down our faces. When he was done, the judges and the audience rightfully gave him a long standing ovation. Making a special moment even more special.
However, it did not stop there. All four judges, including Simon Cowell, praised him, and Union took it one step further. She hit the Golden Buzzer sending him directly to the live shows.
Lee said he will never forget that moment and neither will we. This is what talent competitions are all about. Finding extraordinary people with amazing talents. It is about giving people a shot that would normally not get one. I hope he goes all the way!
However, who knows who else we will find out about this season because yesterday was only night one.
