Joseph O'Brien Original Song "The Average" his 2nd Chance America's Got Talent 2018 Judge Cuts 2 AGT

[@katiecnaranjo]

"Play something you love!" And Joseph played from his heart, a heart that has Jesus at the center. Mad respect for him and I just know that God was so proud of him. ❤️

ONCE AGAIN...Simon brings out the best in someone!

[@fingerstyle9165]

true

[@blaze5688]

Its obviously a set up

[@jethroiway2507]

oh come on, it's scripted broo

[@catsincredulous9998]

@@jethroiway2507 could be. Not sure about on that level though. I think what they say and do as judges is for the most part.

Thanks mate

[@connorl862]

I love Oliva's faces throughout this audtion. She really was touched by this

[@haikalshahmi4904]

I'm too

[@mckinleighbarney8389]

It seems like she was kind of attracted to him once he did those high notes, low key lol

[@Hulani]

Judges are out of their minds. Sure, they liked it. But to me, it’s probably one of the best entries historically AND it’s an original. Angelic voice, impressive voicecontrol and proved his songwritting abilities on top of that. None of the judges seemed as impressed as i am about those feats.

[@bharathik2387]

Sooo freaking true! I absolutely love this song! This is one song that is too good to be written by someone who doesn't have much experience. I can't believe they were not impressed immediately! Honestly, I saw this one audition accidentally on TV when I was pretty young. And then I lost the song. But some of its melody was stuck in my head and I remembered that scenario where he was rejected for his first performance but then performed an original. And it took me a while to find this song. And it's so beautiful!

[@nihad1162]

ILL PRAY TO LORD

[@irondolphin1559]

it seems that Simon is like the only actually someone intelligent judge because he saw through his first performance, none of the other judges had a real big problem with it but when the second performance came they realized it was better. The only real good judge there is Simon because he really sees talent

[@Dan_the_afol]

ill tell you you said that because we go to school together

[@brianpaul3125]

EXACTLY how I feel. This song is epically good, and they just 'like' it, right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. He just didn't fit their mold. All his music is amazing, and his voice is absolute clean, vibrato gold.

[@ndukaikechukwu3128]

His first auditions made me a fall in love with him...listened to it like a million times...his voice is absolutely beautiful, like mel said, he has to b larger than life and unleash everything...he is still my favorite..

[@Anna-ql9gl]

Yeah, idk, not everyone needs to be Kelly Clarkson or any other powerhouse singer. This song and his voice are gold. These are the songs I like best, understated, no vocal gynastics.

[@shiebelle7536]

From Aussie, and totally rooting for this gentleman. I love how the lyrics of these words are so personal to him and yet so totally relatable. He is an amazing encouragment, standing out there on a huge plateform like this and singing about his walk with the Lord. As a youth in this day and age, there is indeed a lot of compromising going on with our faith in the Lord and the society we are surrounded with. And sometimes when our lives are going through a season of warmth and good things we set aside the one who gave it all to us and only in those cold, dark and lonely moments in our lives do we begin to offer prayers that it should pass over quickly because we want to get out of those moments. And that is okay. But how can we love the Lord fully if that is how it is? It seems quite unfair that we are not being completly honest and true with everyone and to ourselves but most especially we are not being true to our Lord. O'Brien has an amazing voice - definately calming and very open and relaxing. I love the way he plays the piano. He's breed is a dying one. He's definately a rare find. Keeping it up young man!

[@mukeshrathod5156]

U did a fantastic job dear... Second song melted me... U won't be single anymore... All d bestt😘

[@emmanuelwangari1767]

When he takes his voice high then normal then low then high. I kinda love that coz it takes me in the world of magical music.

He is one of the million stars in the galaxy twinkling right after our very eyes at the moment. I mean, his superb rendition of "Hello" stuck in my mind for week. He is the kind of artist who can melt your heart and stirred your soul. I'm a fan Joseph O'Brien!

[@wolfgray9518]

Im rooting for this guy he was so nervous

[@LeoBoobi]

This hole situation, combined with the song is just the example of life itself. To have chances in life and keep going together with words that represent life perfectly. When youre a baby/kid, you have nothing on your mind yet, but growing up you realize: ,, Noone told me, i would suffer. Noone told me i would grieve, They told me live the way you want to, Youll still inherite eternity." Thats how your path as a human is build up by your Ancestors. You have rougy around 75 years of life, dont let others tell you who you are. Its YOU who chooses what to do with it 😊❤️

Feel like the first song was staged to make him play an original, but the song he wrote didn’t receive anywhere near enough praise.. underrated performance to me. It’s such a good original song.
