Benicio Bryant Singer sings "The Joke" AWESOME | America's Got Talent 2019 Audition

[@pdxraptor]

He should have been a Golden Buzzer

[@eatcat.2]

one of the best performances ever

[@maha749]

he is singing about himself: "You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy? With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don't ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways To keep 'em from running wild They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them"

[@vickikerns1]

I know the judges sometimes tend to give the "golden buzzer" to people with more compelling or heartwrenching stories, BUT this young man should have gotten the golden buzzer. HE IS PHENOMENAL! I get chills every time I hear it and tears in my eyes. I hope Benicio wins the whole thing! What a talent!

This kid is truly talented. Beautiful voice, perfect pitch, great vibrato, phrasing is excellent, feels what he sings, lack of ego, gentle and humble but with a nice sense of humour, genuine down to Earth talent that deserves to at least become a paid professional.....which I think he will no matter what happens with this AGT. Best new talent I've heard for some time. Good luck Beni.
