His mom said that it was at the moment of the golden buzzer that she saw an expression on his face that she had never seen before and it was amazing.

The look on Simons face is even better.

I lost it when he started to jump. some people on the spectrum, when they are so overwhelmingly happy that they don't know what to say or do, they jump. What a beautiful, beautiful person.

Imagine, as a society, if we embraced the disabled community more than putting them in a box... imagine the beauty that would be shared ✨🌈

I'd be happy about that. no more being talked down to or stares

I remember watching this episode live, I sat up on my couch so fast and actually screamed "hell yeah" 😂

Your face when he started singing. IKR don’t mind my crying this young man has talent. 😮

First of all Billy, it's OK to get emotional.. I can't watch him without crying..My grandson is autistic, he he was bullied in school thank God my son found a school that only let's autistic children in and the classes are separated 10 per teacher and her aide. I so wish we could all see the world through their eyes💜

Kodi Lee can sing in 7 languages. Write on his KZread channel. His family reads the Comments to him. He has several performances. You'll love him even more. This is just the beginning dude. 🙏

I'm considered a tough American Army vet in Australia, but I watched this video during my lunch break with my headphones on and I was ugly crying. My coworkers were wondering wtf was going on and this video made everyone else ugly cry too. God bless mate and don't have BYSO locked up so much bro!

I have a 6.5yr old autistic son. He was nonverbal from 13mo up until 5.5 yrs. He has had intense therapy 40hrs a week for about 3 years now. He is just now saying whole sentences. This is so very inspirational. My son is not musically talented, but he is artistic. He loves to paint and draw. He expresses emotions through facial expressions of the stick figures he draws ❤ Thank you for reacting to this... I'm sorry I'm late to watch it. 😅

Then he goes on to play that background song that played us this whole video, and we lost it again eh? Kodi is something special. I try to listen to one of his performances everyday. Just makes me smile.

Every time I watch his audition video I cry

He won this. Okay, historic moment for every autistic person, and blind person, too. I'm autistic myself, and OMG, Kodi is epic!

Epic is the word indeed!

i love how you shout out to Mom - she's the one who believed and helped him achieve his dreams, you can see how he trusts her.

As a mother of a autistic child I know how hard it is. God bless them and every care taker. Every disabled sweet heart. Thank you Codi Lee

This is truly an example just how blessed and gifted someone can be he truly is a true gift from god.

He won too! Check him out singing “Against All Odds”! It’s awesome!

I am a 57 year old mom, your reaction made me cry as much as I was crying watching Kodi sing. Enter, your humor, I didn't know I could cry tears of heart and tears of laughter at the same time. Beautiful and incredible of you to cry in front of a camera, keep that as a part of you always, because that's a real man.

I'm sure when mom said he was an entertainer we thought a minute. He truly has a God given talent. Beautiful family!

You need to watch him sing, " Bridge over Troubled waters" Paul Simon almost never allows people to sing this song because it is so dear to him, but once he saw Kodi perform he immediately gave him permission to ding it for AGT. Also, you said that you don't watch the show so I was not sure if you understood that the significance of the Golden Buzzer is that He no longer has to compete in the elimination rounds during the try-outs he is for sure going to be in the final competition.

I’m not blind but I’m autistic as well so this makes me feel so good and happy and makes me cry also the lyrics to the Song are very relatable good for you kodi you rock! This word can be so judgmental specially when it comes to people’s disabilities which really puts him down and gets me emotional and upset but when I see other people with disabilities do well and do things like this it makes me feel great and feel better and feel happy for them

One thing I really appreciate about his mom is that she lets Kodi answer questions in his own time. I have brain box issues and people impatient for an answer want to force it when in your brain it just takes longer to make the connection from brain to mouth. Interruptions trying to hurry it along and answer the question for you just shatters the whole thought process you were working on and you have to pick up the pieces and find where your at in a conversation. His mom is awesome because she just waits and lets him process even when others are waiting for a response. ❤ if you know someone with brain issues remember to give them time and don’t correct them just because they use the wrong word or relate it to someone else. My grandmother had dementia and I would just listen and she told me more than my aunt could believe. I looked at grandma and said it is hard to get it from here, pointing to my head, out of here, pointing to my mouth. She looked at me, nodding her head like “you get it”. It brought me such joy knowing my problems gave me an understanding of how it must feel to live in her head. If you know someone who has brain problems be patient.

As a 69 yr old Native American grandmother, I just love you so much. Wish you were my grandson

I love the mom. You can tell she brought her son to the show for him to shine, it had nothing to do with her wanting attention or praises from the masses for being a good mom. Kodi is an amazing talent and beautiful soul.

I watched his performance when it aired... I had the exact same reaction!! I literally paused the tv... stood up... backed it up and started it again!!! I saved this episode for my husband to watch..he doesn’t watch agt .. ever! He was just as blown away as I was!!!! What a gift Cody is to the world!!!!!

He's like Susan Boyle and just stunned everyone the second he started singing. He actually won and all of his performances were beautiful and he really deserved it.

My daughter is also blind and autistic, and actually, they share the same condition, called optic nerve hypoplasia, basically their optic nerves didn’t grow to the size they were suppose to. I balled my eyes out (or cut a lot of onions as Billy put it) when I first watched this video last summer. It gives me such hope for what my daughter can accomplish in her future

This guy shows that no matter any disability, you can be AMAZING

The bond between the 2 if them is amazing. She gives him little pep talks before he preforms

In all my years of watching these shows the talent shows Britain's got talent America's got talent all of them I don't think I've seen anybody to deserve to Golden boys or more than Kodi Lee

He won the whole show!

Billy....I watched this episode when it aired and I will say, I am a man and not ashamed to it....I was in tears. It was a truly amazing performance. And finally....when any of us feels like life has thrown us into a tough situation, just think of Cody and what he has overcome. Sometimes it takes moments like this to make us realize that our lives are really not as bad as we think. Well done Cody.

Look what Stevie Wonder accomplished. Not only with his singing, but also helped develop tools for the blind to be able to play music. Just think what this kid Kodi can accomplish as a young man just entering the music business.

And this is why I watch bgt on KZread. From the magic of the singers to the overwhelming Scarry performances. The golden buzzer make it perfect.

Watching reaction videos, I observed that he is the only one who intensively analyzes the music and lyrics of the song and the content of the video in a minute level or piece by piece not only its general meaning.

I have watched it a dozen times and I still cry every time. Those golden buzzers, man. Hahaha. Get me every time. Also...Something so subtle that I love about this is that before Simon hugged Kodi, he announced and introduced himself to him first instead of just grabbing him for a hug. I love that.

I have a nephew on the autism spectrum! I cried tears of joy listening to this!!!!

I work with special needs adults and I absolutely love it .. there incredible people with so many hidden talents they could bless the world with if only given the chance ...you would be blown away ... he is incredible and what got me was when he clapped his hands at the end of his singing. .. it was so pure and he was so proud and it gets me every single time ❤️❤️

11:42 that is the look of a proud mama. The child may not be her own, but there is no mistaking that look of love and pride on the face of a mother. It was beautiful.

Billy it takes a strong man to cry. I'm proud of you. I am a big fan of Kodi.

Kody Lee is AWESOME!!

And he went off and won the season. Now what Kodi has is pure untapped talent.

And that right there is why he won that season.......Kudos to Kodi

Crying is not a problem. It means you have a heart. And Kody touch our hearts. Congratulations for your video and for your big heart.

My grandma used to say tears clean the soul. Bro this is a reaction of good man.

I've seen this too many times and every time I'm bawling my eyes out every time

If that didn't pull tears I don't know what will. God bless him and his mother for keeping him happy and comfortable

Kodi is amazing.. Im very very glad you were exposed to his beautiful light.. This kid is outstanding

As someone who works with those who have special needs i've come across those who have sooo many gifts every day.. and to know Kody won is a HUGE motivation to not only me but the world that these individuals are not stupid or satanic as history would tell us.. Kody is an inspiration to us all and i thank you Billy for reacting so kindly towards him

I was definitely crying with you. A sign of a big heart and a beautiful soul.

God truly blessed him with a gift.

I just love watching people's reaction when they first hear him!! I still can't believe how amazing he is!!

Cody crushed it loved the reaction

He's all over KZread. God bless you. Spread the Love.

Kodi, is very very special to this world, and to us!! God, he has sent us a very special gift, a gift of soul, spirit, Angelic being. I love you, Kodi! Edited: " THEY" should know by now who the real one is in control over OUR soul". Thank you so much for your reaction. It was wonderful. Blessings and love from me to all that reads this comment, AND , also to those that don't. FOX SE Va

The part that gets to me is when he finishes singing and he is sitting there listening. Wonder what he was thinking & feeling at that moment.

Kodi was awesome I witnessed the night and I cannot describe the feeling I had

If one has the TALENT it will come out everytime.

Awwww. Billy, it is totally fine to show emotion and shed some tears. No shame in that at all! We are all human.

I will never not cry watching this video. I love watching Kodi w/his brother on tiktok

Billy, I love your heart. I love a man who is not afraid to show his emotions.

I'm so glad you got to hear him.. He's such a remarkable young man..I loved your face when he started singing... you should check out his KZread channel... Watch his winning AGT song with Leona Lewis.. The song at the end is the song he sang...

This video proved how genuine of a person you are. Love your channel.

I cried watching it when it first aired, and even seeing it multiple times since, someone keeps cutting onions in my house too every time. I can literally feel my heart skip a beat every time. I think my heart was more emotional towards his mom. I have been a full time caregiver for a close family member, the only thing I ever wanted to do was make her life happy with the moon and stars. It is amazing how much I feel a connection with everyone who has seen this, an overwhelming feeling of shared love.

That's right. I cried too. Kodi was really great.

I truly loved your reaction had me in tears as well or as you said stop cutting onions you're a real man for showing your emotions I loved it and proud of you

GO BUFFALO...S.B. BOUND...GREAT TO BE BACK...GREAT STYLE AND PERSON YOU ARE...LORD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I've seen it thousands of times and it excites me too much... I'm a mom to a kid with autism and I know what it means to get it done I've seen it thousands of times and it excites me too much... I'm a mom to a kid with autism and I know what it means to get ahead of it. 😘😘😘

Cody has a God given gift. He also won! People with whatever disability are absolutely gifted. ♡ I know watching shows like this, Billy, you get emotional. I do, too. It just means you have heart and compassion. Listen to Tim McGraw-"Humble and Kind." Very...touching and great message.

Amazing young man, wishing him all the best, thank you Billy,.I felt the same as you....wow

the song they added Is Calum Scott you are the reason, he is another golden buzzer you should see his audition on AGT one of my all time Favorites

Its ok to cry it just shows you have compassion

Kodi was amazing on here. I had tears watching him. His mother she's awesome too. Watch the whole show with him. He's amazing

I was in tears and then u said 'dont cut onion in my house, u're not welcome here no more' I died. 😅😭😭

The craziest thing happened, my eyes just started sweating like crazy and I have no idea why. That was incredible. What a voice, and that head voice, man. Sweet piano playing, too. Amazing. How the hell does this only have 6.5k views? It should have so so many more.

Shout out to the mom and the rest of the family for their love and support.

I've seen this so many times and still get emotional its beautiful.....

I watched this on TV when it aired and it STILL gets me.

Kodi sung you are the reason, and dedicated it to his mom

LOVE YOUR REACTION. I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS. LOVE YOU KODI!

He is adorable I was half expecting with how happy he was and with his charisma to turn and be like "HOW YOU DOIN". That has stuck in my heart every time I see the beginning of this audition. I just want to hug him and squeeze his cheeks. By the way waz up from Reno, NV 👋

I’ve got tears running down my face now! Just beautiful! ❤

Love Kodi. His voice (to me) sound's like a combination of Elton John and John Legend. wonderfully beautiful.

Kodi used to live in my neighborhood... I absolutely love kodi and his family, and love to see him perform

I happened to catch this when it happened and then, as now, I'm sobbing. He is amazing . . . oh, the lesson he teaches.

THanks for crying and admitting,it just shows the trueness of your reaction to Kodi Le's performance.Come on now,this video, aside from being edited well,will pull the emotional side out of anyone watching.WE as humans need Kodi Le's performance to prove once again that ,anything can be accomplished no matter what life throws at us.

I still get teary with this one. I am mama to 2 on the autism spectrum, one severe, like Kodi. I felt every ounce of his mama's joy in my soul.

Seeing the happiness and pride that his family have for him had me in TEARS!

I’m truly out of tears!!!! WOW!!!!!

what's also amazing is that there are only 25 people in the entire world with this talent.

I laugh every time you say, Why do they play this song , lol

I cry every time I watch this. SO much talent in this young man.

You have a heart of gold and are allowed to feel like that

Love your reaction...especially when he started singing! And it's okay if BYSE entered the chat...REAL MEN SHOW EMOTION!! :)

I have watched this so many times and love it every time.

It's ok to cry Billy. I can't count the number of times I've watched this since it was shown on tv and I STILL bawl like a baby when I watch it. Not only is he inspirational but that voice would make you emotional on it's own.

I cry every time I watch this video.

I saw this live and many times on video since, but I still cry like a baby.

Love Kodi Lee! I usually don't watch AGT, but after seeing this, I made sure I watched and voted the whole season. He and his family live in California, but for awhile, they lived in my home state of Utah, and the city I live in, Tooele. (Too-Will-A) Our city and state as well as millions of others are so proud of him and wish him well!

Consider me mind blown this makes my soul so happy

4:09 Thats the part that grabbed a hold on me. Momma Lee going down beside her son,and giving him that peptalk she knew he needed. Kodi lit up like a christmas tree when he heard soo many cameras were ALL on him,to watch him play. I believe that was that last little thing he needed to make history......and he did! I have had my struggles since i were a kid,but nothing related to Kodi. However,i have been in different wards,hospitals,"recovery homes" surrounded by people with all kinds of conditions,illnesses etc. It became so overwhelming down in my teens,i developed things from it. Today.....i cant really be mad about it anymore,i have learned soo much by having friends who arent like every other friend i grew up around. And i have seen moms and dads being drained of energy from caring about theyr kids,who needed far more attention,understanding,patience (above all!),love and affection then they felt they were capable of giving. But they managed to battle through,by having help. So i could read Tinas (moms) tears at the end. You know there lays alot of pride there,but she also cried both for herself as well as on Kodis behalf. I know it has been difficult for her along the way. Especially since she hinted that Kodi probably wouldve ended up suicidal if he hadnt discovered music and singing,and that his parents embraced it right away,made it possible for him to perform etc. Anyone NOT getting very emotional over this,NOW thats the ones i worry about! ;)

I am BYSE every single time I watch this young man!
