He's such a little gentleman. Parents obviously raised him well.

[@yumnam_ningthemmangang4179]

Even his way of speaking shows that he's a gentleman

Yes very good parenting and there is something else. He dosent have adhd or autism.

[@vister6757]

He's sounded very mature. He's confident and yet humble. It's nice to see a young with this character. I wish him all the best in his future's undertakings.

[@Jp-ml8dm]

He got robbed. He should have moved forward to the live shows. Instead, he was replaced with a 72 year old woman who ballroom dances. It was a big mistake by the AGT judges.

[@willsam6549]

[@notyourbae4159]

What is he? Is he real? So mature and smart, speaks like a highly educated adults..so well mannered!

[@bernadettemartinez4477]

Jeffrey, is a really cool kid, he loves to read, swim and go camping!! He speaks and sings in both English and Chinese fluently, he practices drawing the Chinese characters, too. He has a very intelligent, calm and sweet personality, along with a cheerful attitude and beautiful smile. I have been following him, for over 3 years now!! ha....ha...P.S. I hope you start listening to all of his music including his awesome Chinese songs(most have English subs). His songs : 'Cloud Of Hometown' and 'Dear Kid' are absolutely amazing. His 'way' of performing....with such confidence and feeling, is like....'out of this world....fantastic'. Never....in my entire life, have I ever...seen anyone sing, in such a powerful way! He has the most wonderful gift of singing, he just...sings....'like....he Really Feels...the music'.

[@kaito1250]

How the heck, who is he, you’re right WHAT is he. Whomever remembers Percy Jackson, who thinks Artemis would approve of him? But what kind of humans? are he

[@blauweapple]

Simons's last name changed to coward...

[@gracyhaokip7514]

His voice changed 😍😍😍

[@mifnp8887]

Probably because he's entering puberty!

[@TrinhNguyen-qs8ri]

How cute is he!

[@lisagay7271]

A great voice to a sweet boy,we love you

[@gordychulisnakin]

This young boy has vast experience on singing competitions in Canada, China and others. Now on the hunt for the AGT with the same auditioning song.

[@kevinvientianelaos]

He. Is such so adorable.....

[@EENEOGIM]

Simon, how can you break your promise to Jeffery? Where is the dog you promised him? I thought you swore on your scouts honour....

[@sukumac9013]

@@Just-me155 . Maybe parents said no - if they wanted him to have a dog he would have had one before then.

[@uwecat]

It’s because of his parents

[@justynadzasta3743]

@@sukumac9013 did you listen to the kid? Parents said that they dont have a problem of him getting the dog so its not parents
