It's very clean and clear if that makes sense. 😊

[@garybritt1483]

Seeing him actually cry shows how much heart and soul he put into that song

[@_Papitobi_]

Totally :3

[@NoobGamer-sc9lt]

it shows how much he need engorgement in his life, people were laughing when he enter the stage imagine how his life with people ridicule him everyday

[@peestrem31]

[@mkilic10]

and I don’t know how the others smile ear to ear while he was singing. I could not breathe let alone smiling.

[@HaidashV]

​@@mkilic10totally agree, I can just imagine what he felt like.

[@marisakaleiohi3046]

Puddles pity party the best i ever heard and seen ...He sings with his heart and soul...Truly amazing...

[@polarsquad_yt3337]

I AGREE GO PUDDLES PITY PARTY!!! WHOOOOOO

[@ChocoQueen28]

I love this version so much, I watch it every few weeks, I feel it to the core. My friends actually laugh to how I get.

[@McBean1331]

I cried.

[@maxdo4529]

cant agree more

[@TheYuvimon]

I beg to differ. I'm pretty sure he sings with his mouth and larynx :D Still, hell of a performance!

*You'll float too, Simon.*

Hahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah

[@-khushlush]

LMAOO

[@psychee1]

This is seriously one of the best AGT moments across the board. The presentation, subverted expectations and pure raw emotional delivery. Just perfect.

[@last808]

Apparently his live shows are really cool too. Lots of fun.

[@josephlopez1758]

*"IIIIIIIM, IM GONNA FLYYYY LIKE A BIIIRRRRD THROUGH THE NIGHT"* true goosebumps right there.

[@pronouncedseven652]

Same here

[@mitchumi]

Does it mean he will hit nearest tree or window glass?cause birds can't nightflight ;)

[@alishbam.3378]

I kind of wish this guy won. He was one of my favorites on AGT

[@thegreatpotato4593]

He would've won if he ignored the judges and kept his style

[@Walmays]

He should've won..

[@PDeRop]

He won bigtime.. he now tours with Piff The Magic Dragon. ;)

[@Little0cean]

@@PDeRop that sounds like the most incredible crossover ever.

[@PDeRop]

@@Little0cean it really is. Wish I could see them.

[@greenilatina]

Love the young girl in the audience saying, "You did so good!"....and I agree!

[@staceyhood4372]

Yes I smiled from ear to ear when she said that💕

[@aaqilian5.085]

What a sweetheart 😊

[@Peterviegal]

It's all setup ffs. They have multiple plants in the audience which dictate crowd reaction. I am shook that people legitimately believe these behaviours are genuine. Why do you think the cameras aiming directly at these people who do these OTT reactions...

[@dris9274]

omg this guy is an amazing artist, his voice is strong but his interpretation is the best thing about his singing, truely touching

[@mimmom]

I get intense chills from scalp to toes when I listen to this.

[@lavender_1112]

I feel you 😶

[@ChocoQueen28]

Someone who finally gets how I feel, my friends simply don't get how this version touches my whole being....

[@niyowillmarco8569]

I do too

Clown fetish. Sicko.

[@biaansz]

I cry everytime i hear puddles sing, his voice is unique ❤

[@OneBirdAllStoned]

This man's voice gives me chills.

[@thebluedragon07]

Because of this performance, I had to check out his channel and his work is just amazing. I also had the absolute pleasure of watching him live, and let me tell you, he's better to watch and listen to in person, what a treasure!

[@rockpaperscissors1829]

I saw him recently when he toured with Piff the Magic Dragon. He absolutely is a treasure.

[@thomasborgen692]

I’ve never cried watching America’s got talent until I saw him he inspired me to not just listen to rap music and diverse because singing can be so beautiful and puddles pity party is a prime example. Thank you man.

[@cassandracentura7121]

How did they not give him a golden buzzer?! That was SOO good

[@Greendragongirl]

I know right I would have in the middle of the performance it was beautiful

[@d.n.8919]

Because no sad personal story

[@Garlicsvids]

I recently got to see puddles at the newton theatre and he has an amazing voice and gives amazing hugs

[@zaruzin2347]

6 years and i still cry every time

[@Trippy000]

I remember watching him live. Me and my grandmother and I used to watch AGT and loved it. My grandmother passed away 2 years ago and I haven't watched it since. Puddles is the only act I will watch now. He was always my favorite so thanks puddles 👍

[@jayrosabalthealchemist8462]

Thank you.. believe it or not .. I'm still alive because of this video..

Makes perfect sense, it's Puddles.

[@shameakwatkins5223]

He Is Amazing!!!

[@girllfren5437]

I just love the little girl at the end with her encouragement,

[@jiggilymiggily663]

You know he did good if he got a standing ovation from simon

[@kundezwei4268]

He got a buzzer from him at the next performance 😭

[@stevenx2523]

This is exactly what AGT should be about, a stage for the unusual but gifted.

[@last808]

If only we were so lucky.

[@jonathanrivas2524]

This man made an original song so beautiful! I love how he made it his own version! The ending is just so amazing!

[@superdupertyson]

yes awesome performance. the crowd got a real treat

[@dixichannel4422]

I still get goosebumps after rewatching after so many years

I come back to this year's later and its still freaking amazing!

Thank you, p Puddles. I'm drunk and I'm crying these 3 years since I have met you on KZbin

[@itzgrabe5459]

Omg this gave me chills he deserve golden buzzer loved it

[@kimvG666]

Better than the original. It's just...... Perfect

[@kailaniandi]

I've listened to this so many times and it's absolutely the best redition. Super powerful voice and expression of the lyrics. Superstar vocalist, singing with such passion and amazing technique. Puddles is an artist and singer with more talent than most. Deserves his own Las Vegas show as a major headliner!

[@drewskee1775]

“I’m just holding on for dear life, keep my drink filled till morning light “ I felt that

[@josephdurbin8736]

This is still my favorite version of Chandelier.

[@auradynamitex6304]

1-Chandelier. 2-Sad Clown. 3-His expressions. Just the Golden Buzz! #TeamSia.

[@Dsuchong]

I'm from Morocco I'm telling you when I heard his voice for first time, I knew his soul persists thru irresistible pain, yet his soul still float and touch all heart❤

[@watermelona8262]

[@andrewontiveros]

That transition @2:00 still gives me chills

Same god the way the camera slows too

[@NiquoleAbram]

It is quite good!

[@edwardgiusti2156]

Me too

[@Jimmy12350]

There's no transition he just singin

[@conkercube6509]

It's so powerful

[@tomasmartosvevoahre7799]

My question is: where was this guy before? This voice couldn't have gone unnoticed. Did no one pay attention until he created his character? I don't get it. It's one of the most moving voices I've ever heard. Glad he's around.

[@harshsingh1022]

One of the best performance I've ever seen whenever I'm sad just watch him and everything is fine

[@coolbeans4557]

This guy always scared me because I’m terrified of clowns, but I love his voice..

What are you? 5?

Same. I hate clowns but time and again I give another listen to Puddles.

Gifted concept...Puddles has true understanding of theater...emotions ..feelings...the pain of life losses ...I never could listen to this song until Puddles sang it in its truest Interpretation...BRAVO PUDDLES...

[@stevecoulter2665]

There is something unbelievably moving about this performance. I could watch the 20 seconds from 2:36 on a constant loop. Spine tingling

Man sia wrote a solid song its universally loved

[@aliaygun9975]

this is pure gold.. Love everything about this.

[@amirhagrass1593]

Great audition and makes it special is not the singing only as the guy is living the song and making an act on stage It’s a full show

[@JayQuan77]

amir hagrass please Explain your Understanding a little More! Your into something

[@lacey782]

I love this more than the original version. This is soul food.

[@shortchangehero666]

Really hard not to cry while watching this …. Pure emotion and feeling…

[@shennaas6922]

He has wonderful control over his voice man i loved it

[@oliviawatkins673]

Aww I really wanted to hug him when he stars crying 🥺

[@Sk-vh5ox]

Been some years that I saw this the first time. I keep coming back here again and again. My fav part is around 2:03 when he sings _like a bird through the night._ Things go epic during that moment. The way he holds the mike and moves, the change in the camera angle, the video slowed down. Something really reverberates during that moment. But for that moment to hit you its imp that the preceding parts are also re-watched as the necessary build up.

[@eyesontheprize6637]

My all-time favourite AGT performance!

[@jasonelek9202]

This is still one of my favorite AGT preformances

[@jeraldb.gacita5569]

Nice talent. Watching here from canada.

[@soleillune9646]

Your best version. Your heart is in your voice and eyes. Thank you Puddle.

[@sebastienyoung8606]

To all those who disliked you should be ashamed because he sung his heart out god bless

[@iamReddington]

I've seen some people not understanding the clown disguise. It's hard to describe, but for some people, they gain their confidence from the persona they put on. like Puddles. His real, natural self would most likely be too nervous to ever do this. but become Puddles - someone different - and he has that confidence.

[@Sevenptsix2]

Rarely is a remake better than the original. This one makes that list for sure

[@lisaschindler8864]

Totally agree with you, best ever remake!

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

Good but not better. There is underlying pain in Sia’s version, which is necessary for the message. This is almost like the style of Andrew Lloyd Webber. He hits all the right notes and the creativity is a 10. But he doesn’t connect to the content. This song is about a depressed woman that appears to be a party girl, but is just trying to get through each day. She copes with alcohol abuse and self destructive behavior that cause her to repeat the cycle. While this performance was good musically, the message was offset by the clown parody. A sad party clown instead of a sad party girl is too humorous to have the same effect. But still well sung.

[@lisaschindler8864]

@@ambivalentdisaster673 I listened again to both versions. Undoubtedly Puddles voice is more appealing to me. I agree that the clown parody initially gives the wrong impression... until he sang! The audiences reaction says it all. Puddles sang with full heart and soul that captured his underlying pain. His version brought out the emotions in me. It was beyond "well sung", it was amazing!

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

Lisa Schindler We can respectfully agree to disagree. I think this is one of those songs where someone can sing every note beautifully but never truly connect with it. Two other popular songs like that that come to mind are Hallelujah and Memories.

[@lingling2823]

There’s nothing better than the original, no one will ever beat sia

[@magnifeck4669]

One of the greatest performances I've ever heard.

[@shopkinspesky]

Puddles is my new spirit animal.

Mike Geier has a goddanmed GORGEOUS voice.

[@auradynamitex6304]

The idea of bieng silence then sings "Chandelier" describe a deep feeling of sadness and depression! And that's made me tear up♡ like someone who's handling the pain by thier own and saying "I'm Fine".

[@yodelissosa7791]

Why in the World do I receive a google news notification ONE DAY BEFORE he vomes to my town?? ALL TICKETS SOLD !!!! WHY ??!! When I saw his name I already knew who they were talking about even though this video is a few years old. I can't believe that he's going to be here tomorrow and I didn't even get a chance to find a way to go!! I love this video, I love Puddles!! I haven't been up to date but am glad to see that he's still around bringing smiles !!!! (He's on tour and all !!) Congratulations Puddles !!!!
