Many (not all) artists nowadays get to the point of making music as a job, and even what might get the most views or follows.

Kodi Lee was the last great voice on the show

His voice kind of 80's. Must be give him golden buzzer!

[@0724tony]

If I was a judge I would've gave him the golden buzzer. Never in all the seasons of agt has anyone sung with that type of voice. I've watched this like 50 times already

Definitely

Been following him and his band Nicotine Dolls for a few months now and his talent is incredible! So happy he’s finally getting some recognition. They make music already but definitely deserve a deal with a major label and more spotlight.

Every time this shows up, I have to watch several times. Sam’s voice is amazing!!

[@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937]

His music, his role not only as the vocalist and songwriter, but also the director of Nicotine Dolls clips show that he is a great artist.

[@margicates553]

His speaking voice was so smooth and lovely, his singing voice sounds like a cry, and yet he looks like he’s not straining. ✨✨✨

[@jenw4219]

I almost hit the like before he even started singing, because he’s so charming and likable awkward, and just owning things with his honestly. His voice is really phenomenal though.

[@valerieconner1204]

Yes, it's his humility -- so rare in a world of people who have no talent to speak of but think they're stars and everyone should bow down to their magnificentness.

[@waltode6]

He is a diamond in the rough that does not need polishing. I hope he forgoes the Hollywood route. I just hope he stays honest in his presentation and vocals. The song was simply refreshing. Well, I think 2022 is the year of the Singer/Song Writer.

[@sheashankle6620]

Out of any raw talent that has put themselves in front there will never be such a raw emotional voice. Just incredible

[@amirrahnavardi6318]

I’ve watched this 100’s of times and still get emotional each and every time I do! Thank you AGT for bringing Sam and the Nicotine Dolls into our lives. Shame you wanted him to split with his band and go solo. His integrity and loyalty pretty much says it all! I can’t remember the last time music touched me the way Nicotine Dolls have!

[@BrendaRodriguez-nw1wz]

The lyrics are beautiful. As someone who bottles things up, I will never forget having a partner who begged me just to talk to him about my pain and I couldn't. I hadn't been raised to do that and I didn't wanna burden him.
