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

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!

Arlette Ocampo I know, I just love this kid. I’m also crazy about Brandi Carlisle, who wrote and first performed the song. There’s a video of them singing it together that is so heartwarming

[@deathofcommonsense]

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.

[@troydanielboy]

If they can just keep the talons in the music industry out of him. Benicio is def an original and a good spirit. He needs to be surrounded by the same. Brandi is one of them.
