You should check him out with postmodern jukebox on KZread, I've only just seen this version and it feels rushed, which considering the music he used is understandable. Him and Haley Reinhart are incredible and I wish I'd seen the music videos before I'd gone blind, but the music there is far more tailored to his style.

I've been watching Puddles since the early years; he's always had that talent. Every song he covers turns to 24k gold.

His voice sent a chill through me, for him to be THAT great is amazing! He was born to sing and I hope he goes far.

His work with PostModern Jukebox is sublime. How he failed to win AGT is mindboggling.

I love Puddles so much. First discovered him when he first started posting on KZread like what, 10 years ago? Absolutely cannot listen to him without shedding a tear (or a whole puddle of em'). Happy to hear by the comments that he is still going strong. Time to look him up and shed a few.

Puddles for President, because we should have a Clown we all can respect and trust in the White house.

Most people don't realize it but when you get a yes from Simon that means more than every other yes from all the other judges because if he doesn't like something he doesn't just say no he will critique the hell out of you but when he says yes that means he was impressed and he's not an easy man to impress

I saw this back when you 1st auditioned and never ever forgot it. You Puddles are truly a gift to this world. I love everything you do and I totally got your act from the start. Please never change your beautiful soul we need more pure people in this world.

I cant understand how that did not get the golden buzzer, it will always be one of the best auditions on AGT.

I love that he is continuing the art of clowning in a new and fresh way that will attract people back to enjoying clowns, clowns don't have to be comedians, they're performers in general

I saw Puddles at Just for Laughs in Montreal. He walked through the aisle in front of me, pulled the hair elastic off the ponytail of the guy in front of me and started chewing it like it was gum. He spat it out in disgust and gave the guy a dirty look. Comedy genius

There are so many of us who love you Big Mike.

I doubt enough people will truly understand how genius this is. Still absolutely LOVE Puddles to this day. March 2023

While i despise AGT, this was a masterpiece on many levels. So many of us live our lives as the clown represented by Puddles, feeling like imposters in our own skin, with an overwhelming sentiment of unworthiness and fear of rejection. Putting on a mask of joy for others, a visual and psychological diversion from the truth; that the mask is the embrace of the only thing we know how to be… unworthy, it is what protects the fragile soul from the savage and unforgiving nature of others and ourselves. What an incredible representation of what’s happening in our society today.

@carlosvejar3896

@@THLaunched it is logical to assume that the creators of any televised show will do everything in their power to ensure the highest ratings possible. AGT is not about the talent, but rather, the accumulation of wealth at the expense of the incredibly talented individuals who at the end of the day must return to the grind of life. In comparison, fhose running the show line their pockets with money they themselves did not earn. When is the last time Simon Cowl displayed any talent? Never! Imagine a world in which people in a society are so preoccupied with making ends meet that they set aside their own potential and talents so that they are able to put food on the table and secure a roof over their loved ones and somewhere in between exhaustion and worry exists a show everyone can connect to because it puts on display that which most individuals are forced to suppress… talent. I say imagine but in fact, we are that society. Puddles represented exactly that; he broke out of his shell and displayed his real talent. He found his voice. We must all do the same. Sorry about the rant. Hope my answer satisfies your question.

I just recently saw Puddles perform in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, at a benefit for local theatres. He is himself, he is massively talented, and he is totally delightful. (He's also 6ft 8" tall!) When "introduced", the announcer said "The next act needs no introduction" and walked off the stage without a word. Then we were blown away! Love Puddles! Only speak well of him!

His voice goes straight to the emotional strings that vibrate within us....Amazing tone

The range and resonance of his voice, amazing . He enunciates the words to the songs clearly. So many singers slur, alter and mangle the words to where you need the lyrics written out to know what the song says.

First time i think i have ever caught part of a smile from Puddles! So awesome!

His live performance is outstanding. I got to see him a couple days ago and he puts on a better show than many bands.

Such a wonderful voice, such a sweet and kind man. I've watched this well over 500 times, so far!

This Grand Artist of the vocal chords takes songs made by others and then takes them all to another level. Those songs and his interpretive versions then make those songs Fresh, New, and then they become all his own.

I loved that he was saving his breath for this song, such a treat!

That was simply fantastic. I certainly didn’t expect that voice to come out of him- I can’t stand this show, but he’s the best thing I’ve ever seen come from it.

Got to see Puddles live in Seattle. So great.

Puddles is a brilliant performer!!! True talent.

The reaction he had was genuine. He was floored by the response. I love this man for so many reasons. He is so talented but as a human he is so kind. I love everything he does.

This guy has been around and loved by his fans for a long time before this show.

This guy actually made that song good!!!

I'd been hearing the name "Puddles Pity Party" for quite a while. But I'd never really been interested enough to see what all the chatter was about. Then my wife and I stumbled across a video of him doing Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage / Eclipse". I was kind of like the audience in this video. I was kind of grinning at first, and thinking, "What the hell is this?" But by the end of it, I was thoroughly impressed, and surprised at how much I like it. Then we stumbled across him doing Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". Wow. My favorite so far. We wound up going down the Puddles Pity Party rabbit hole, and I've yet to hear something that didn't impress me in some way. His talent is undeniable. But it does make me sad that someone this talented literally had to put on a clown suit to get our attention. But really, don't all performers play a character, really? And his character is great. Yeah, it's a shtick. But it's a good one. I think you could consider me a fan at this point. I told my wife during our rabbit hole exploration that "I think we've been infected". lol. We most definitely have. The icing on the cake was stumbling across this video here after the fact. I may have loved this performance most of all.

Wow. What an incredible voice.

he does just play the nerveous guy that suffers from aniety and low self esteem, he is that guy. and that makes him even cooler, he can inspire others to get out there.
