Puddles Pity Party Performed That MADE Everybody LOVES Him Including ALL The Judges In America's Got Talent 2017 | Audition

[@FanaticDrummer]

I genuinely love that he stood by this act to this day. He didnt change or go “normal” to have a career. He’s still Puddles despite being able to sing whatever.

[@nkill6]

His shows sell out in Colorado

[@thomasshingleton9289]

His shows sell out around the country! He does a great show!!

This man has a beautiful soul. I've been watching his more recent vids the last couple days, but seeing this was so vulnerable and seeing him truly appreciate the audiences reaction was moving.

His work with PostModern Jukebox is sublime. How he failed to win AGT is mindboggling.

[@SrChr778]

I've been watching Puddles since the early years; he's always had that talent. Every song he covers turns to 24k gold.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

I agree, talent like this is freaking rare. And he puts in the hard work

[@onegrlindawrld6297]

Puddles is fantastic been following him for years here on the tubes .

[@bgd_ton6648]

Me too

[@timscarrow9151]

Class act He is.

[@Razorwindsg]

I don’t know how the judges don’t recognise a star on the KZbin world…maybe they are just doing a bit and don’t want to spoil the surprise

[@scharpmeister]

checked him out and yall aint lyin hes good

[@j.rexcrouch623]

Me also - I first heard him years ago!

[@ugaladh]

About every 6 months, I go back and watch 5-6 old AGT videos, this is always one of them.

[@blindbrad4719]

You should check him out with postmodern jukebox on KZbin, I've only just seen this version and it feels rushed, which considering the music he used is understandable. Him and Haley Reinhart are incredible and I wish I'd seen the music videos before I'd gone blind, but the music there is far more tailored to his style.

[@franktaylor7617]

A national treasure. He's got so many fantastic performances. Look him up and give him your support.👍

[@grimmspectrum1547]

Most people don't realize it but when you get a yes from Simon that means more than every other yes from all the other judges because if he doesn't like something he doesn't just say no he will critique the hell out of you but when he says yes that means he was impressed and he's not an easy man to impress

[@gingersam851]

One of the most moving and brilliant performances I have ever heard.

[@nonyabiz62]

Puddles is the only clown that's driven me to tears with their beautiful voice, talent like that is not easy to find when you go looking for it. Glad he finally made it to agt.

[@RobertDishong]

I cry every time I listen to him sing. His voice is so emotionally beautiful. He pours his heart out on stage.

[@daveking5047]

It saddens me that I've known of Puddles for several years....and I've only just seen this. Beautifully done.

Same here lol

he's doing well in life, all his shows gets sold out, so thats that

I saw Puddles at Just for Laughs in Montreal. He walked through the aisle in front of me, pulled the hair elastic off the ponytail of the guy in front of me and started chewing it like it was gum. He spat it out in disgust and gave the guy a dirty look. Comedy genius

[@hok5732]

IM CRYING😢😢😢😢 LOVE U PUDDLES 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@sardonyxhalloween1987]

I love that he is continuing the art of clowning in a new and fresh way that will attract people back to enjoying clowns, clowns don't have to be comedians, they're performers in general

[@JustMe-ty2rp]

I love Puddles so much. First discovered him when he first started posting on KZbin like what, 10 years ago? Absolutely cannot listen to him without shedding a tear (or a whole puddle of em'). Happy to hear by the comments that he is still going strong. Time to look him up and shed a few.

Puddles for President, because we should have a Clown we all can respect and trust in the White house.

He’s WAY TO GOOD FOR THIS FEASCO CALLED A TV SHOW …. Glad to see where he’s heading on his own. It was a good performance for exposure , but that’s all.

I am 57 and consider myself a man's man but every time I see this performance, by this giant of a man, I cry. It's not the song. It's Mike's incredible voice and his reaction to the audience's love for him. It makes being a human being seem amazing.

I cant understand how that did not get the golden buzzer, it will always be one of the best auditions on AGT.

[@aliholgate9442]

Brilliant! Way to knock it out of the park Big Mike!

[@carlosvejar3896]

While i despise AGT, this was a masterpiece on many levels. So many of us live our lives as the clown represented by Puddles, feeling like imposters in our own skin, with an overwhelming sentiment of unworthiness and fear of rejection. Putting on a mask of joy for others, a visual and psychological diversion from the truth; that the mask is the embrace of the only thing we know how to be… unworthy, it is what protects the fragile soul from the savage and unforgiving nature of others and ourselves. What an incredible representation of what’s happening in our society today.

[@THLaunched]

Why do you despise agt?

[@carlosvejar3896]

@@THLaunched it is logical to assume that the creators of any televised show will do everything in their power to ensure the highest ratings possible. AGT is not about the talent, but rather, the accumulation of wealth at the expense of the incredibly talented individuals who at the end of the day must return to the grind of life. In comparison, fhose running the show line their pockets with money they themselves did not earn. When is the last time Simon Cowl displayed any talent? Never! Imagine a world in which people in a society are so preoccupied with making ends meet that they set aside their own potential and talents so that they are able to put food on the table and secure a roof over their loved ones and somewhere in between exhaustion and worry exists a show everyone can connect to because it puts on display that which most individuals are forced to suppress… talent. I say imagine but in fact, we are that society. Puddles represented exactly that; he broke out of his shell and displayed his real talent. He found his voice. We must all do the same. Sorry about the rant. Hope my answer satisfies your question.

[@debbiegardella8358]

It gives the performer a national stage on which to perform. Even if they don’t win they may be “discovered” by someone else.

[@FightingTruth-sz5tp]

Go into therapy.

[@carlosvejar3896]

@@FightingTruth-sz5tp hah! “Fighting Truth” huh? Virtue signal much? You have the right to your own blinders as does every other individual on this earth. Your non sequential suggestion of “go into therapy” suggests a lack of self awareness. Your title suits you… you truly are “Fighting Truth”.

I just recently saw Puddles perform in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, at a benefit for local theatres. He is himself, he is massively talented, and he is totally delightful. (He's also 6ft 8" tall!) When "introduced", the announcer said "The next act needs no introduction" and walked off the stage without a word. Then we were blown away! Love Puddles!
