This week has been a wild ride. I tried and I stumbled. Sometimes it felt as if I was falling into a deep hole. I saw your hand and I grabbed it and we fell together. Then we were flying. Thank you.
Many thanks to my friends at LEWITT for the great microphone. I give it my Golden Buzzer! www.lewitt-audi...

Make actual music videos!!!!

[@osmacar5331]

technically, he does. but i agree with your sentiment. his haunting vocals for the sombre and melancholic is just wonderful.

[@obscuredxbw]

he does, and he's amazing. i actually heard from him personally on a previous post of mine. this man is amazing and deserves to be recognized as such.

[@edithspitz]

Everyone that is criticizing Puddles Pity Party. My husband and I drove 4 1/2 hours to see this man perform. And we would do it again in heartbeat! I have never laughed so hard and enjoyed a show so much. After the show, he stayed so that everyone in the audience could have a photo taken with him. I was blown away by his kindness to his fans. This man preformed his ass off but still posed for photos, signed things and hugged everyone that came to see him. You who attack him have no idea the pressure that he was under on a live TV stage. You have no idea what it is like for an artist to put themselves out for public critique. Your fans love you Puddles Pity Party. We need laughter, wonder and kindness in this world. Maybe your next song should be a cover of Christina Perri's "I'm Only Human". Thank you

[@mikelewis3382]

Don't worry one wit about nay sayers... they are mired in their own muck, denigrating others to make themselves feel better. Ignore them. Enjoy life. We only get one ride and the morons we meet if negatizers - , acknowledge, ignore and move one. Love one another and screw the rest. Just my humble opinion...

[@northofyou33]

I never heard of him until yesterday. Now I am a new fan. He's wonderful. I'd love to see him live.

[@Rummio93]

I Finally get to see him in November. Based on what you just said I am even more excited!!!

[@Cellular1880]

Couldn't of said it better my self I havet seen him perform live my self but I think he has an amazing voice

[@Katatawnic]

I just discovered him about 15 minutes ago. My only regret is not having found him sooner. His voice is phenomenal, as is his vocal control! I've heard him sing several genres in different keys and octaves, and he is nailing everything I've heard so far. I'm glad he has many videos uploaded, because I could listen to his voice for hours!

[@shubinternet]

Man, every song he sings, I actually hear the lyrics and I finally understand them like never before!

[@elkhanguliyev5437]

The same happened to me listening Johny Cash! Pure and clear pronunciation.

[@planecrazyish]

Agreed 100% 👍

[@fredbmurphy]

He has a gift which he fortunately is able to exploit.

[@michaelabanin]

Ha really good point, dude. Same feeling

[@LifeInFrame]

Yeah that's one of the things I love about listening to his music. I often times hear the real lyrics for the first time listening to him sing them.

[@jimlauretano]

I like this more than the original!

[@LordDonutz]

This dude coats every song with gold with that voice. It's strange, he doesn't need original songs at all, but his renditions of existing songs makes sense. He makes them better, but not for himself, no he makes the songs more believable themselves. He adds soul to songs that already should have had enough but didn't. Some of the deepest songs get even deeper with this guy singing them. The emotions felt are nuts. Thanks Puddles, you are an artist amongst sheep.

[@Aroniyun]

I think he sounds like Jonny Cash

I know it is odd for us to think of but, most musicians performed others work throughout history. Only recently has that changed.

[@bookbwitched6823]

I completely hear you. 🌿🎈 Just found him this day. Songs, heard a million times, interpreted by thousands of glorious voices, now rip previously unrecognized emotions from my very soul. Wounds now cauterized by his voice, his emotions, his empathy, his superpower. I am humbled, grateful, gobsmacked.

Of course it's an act. Most people love Puddles/Mike.

[@lindakennedy7700]

He doesn't have wounds. I take it you don't know Mike or what he does.

[@theqgene826]

I love how he just doesn’t cover the songs. He makes no attempt to emulate. Rewrites the song almost. Sounds like he actually wrote it.

[@richardlloyd2589]

He does!

[@Znivekr]

Thousands of people have been introduced to you and are now life long fans, you are not enslaved to the Simon Cowell pop music hell pit and can now proceed making amazing videos and performing concerts without having to answer to anyone else. I think we all won with the events as they transpired this past week.

i was disappointed at first, but what you typed above is soo true..he won't have to "gear" himself to the "machine" and can continue to be his own great musical muse! #puddlespityparty #earthangel

[@paolajuarez6222]

Kevin Ziegler so true! He is so magestic live in a smaller venue. He engages the audience and is so accessible. He is a stage pro. AGT is over produced and does not accurately capture the true magic of Puddles.

[@kenkillam2103]

So true.

[@laurenvandenbroeck1999]

Puddles you have no idea what strength you have given me. There are people out there who don't understand your art, but that isn't your fault. As a fellow performer, I can say that we are our art. Please never stop. The rest of the world will catch up, but we need you to keep creating.

[@garyhighley9022]

I love REM...but damn..this is brutally awesome.

[@RR67890]

When I first saw Puddles I wondered, "Why the clown suit?" His voice is so great, he doesn't need a gimmick. Then after multiple videos I realize he is so different. His voice is one of a kind, Once in a hundred years. He needs the Puddles mask to show people what he really is. They come to see a clown but find a genius that would have been overlooked otherwise..

[@josephhodges9819]

I think this persona is his real persona.

[@johanstreulens7639]

Make him especially,iconic.

[@karenimber8870]

The image of the crying clown comes from the 1892 Italian opera Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo. You can see this in puddles clothes , the White outfit and Black pom poms. The hat/crown is because puddles rules,ok.

You're probably right about that....

[@Pliouck]

Puddles is such an inspiration to me. I'm studying opera (etc) singing and stage performing arts, and as many autistic persons I struggle with a kind of permanent "sad face" (and lot of sad feelings due to my struggle to socialize vs. my love for the human kind)... Then I discovered wonderful Puddles and now I feel so much more confident, embrassing the sad face, and how you can also express joy and everything you want asumming it all. From the bottom of my broken heart, thank you so much dearest Puddles

[@faerieart]

I hope you are doing very well and that you are sharing your talent. My grandson (10 years old) is on the autism spectrum and is such a talented young man. We draw and watch cartoons together when he comes to visit. You are going to be an inspiration to so many, not just those who have autism, but everyone! Big Squishy Hugs from a Big Squishy Grandma.

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

Interesting, I am on the spectrum too. Did not learn the power of simply smiling until my mid 50's. Learning when to add a smile when greeting someone changes how everyone interacts with you. Good luck with your singing 👍🏼

[@jamesevins800]

Puddles I am quietly relieved that you didn't win that shit show where Simon is the judge. It would have ruined you. Be patient dear Sir. You will be rewarded for your priceless ability. We love you Puddles. We really love you.

[@adamcorfman573]

I agree. I hated to see them not understand that you're walking off stage was part of your act. You had to break character to explain that! And they thought you were just being sour. Ugh, they didn't understand! We love your character and the covers, Puddles!

[@milthyswinbuckle5158]

Pardon the paradox but this guy was far too talented to win America's Got Talent!

[@Gruuvin1]

American Idol intrigued me a lot. And over the years, I was always glad that my favorite artists did not fully win, because the contract would have compromised them greatly (money is great, but the contracts ruined the artists). The exposure is great, but some are just too unique to be crammed in a tight pop-music box with shitty songs cranked out like hot dogs.

Regardless of anything else you might say, the dude is an amazing singer. Perfect pitch, deep emotion. He delivers a song with amazing power. He’s like frikkin Adele.

[@WildBillRidesAgain]

I don't get the people who want him to lose the clown outfit. That's part of the visual pathos of his singing. Puddles is his name, Pity is the Pathos and Party is to be at a live show. As far as him doing only covers of others at this time, his versions usually destroy the originals..Check out Big Mike Grier if you want to see him in another light. Anyway that's the way I see it. Big time talent. I also don't get why people are scared of clowns. Just a person in makeup.

[@2368liberace]

People who want him to lose the clown outfit don't "get" him. Puddles is a clown, a persona. Lose the outfit, we lose Puddles. Big Mike is an amazing performer in his own right but Puddles, is, well, amaze-balls.

Regardless of what some rude Englishman says on a scripted tv show, I will always hold your music close to my heart, your music and voice, are like a dear friend to me, a friend who speaks to me in beautiful tones and melody, a soundtrack for my life and you make my life so much better and so much more beautiful.

Thank you Tim. I was really moved by your comment. I can only imagine how it might have impacted Puddles. He certainly deserves all your sincere praise and admiration. I have been grieving the loss of my father. He passed away from natural causes at an extremely old age but the loss for me is immeasurable. He was also my only relative. My father was a survivor of the European Holocaust and an amateur singer. I produced a CD of his singing from a recording which was made when he was 80 years old. I haven't been able to listen to it but maybe I will soon. I discovered Puddles from the Internet when his AGT audition happened to pop up, a couple of months ago. His music has helped me as well, with its authenticity and beauty. Be well.

[@ladym1910]

Puddles Dear, You did NOT stumble. You were tripped!! You won after your first audition. No act could realistically compete with the depth, versatility and originality of your talent which was too vast to be contained by the arbitrary constrictions of that show. The producers underestimated your appeal and had to work hard to undermine your intentions to try to reveal the scope of your talent. You exposed that show for the shallow manipulation that it is. You would not have been comfortable in the "mink-lined coffin" that is prepared for the winners. Some never recover. Thank you is not enough for what you give. You are obviously compelled to share yourself with such vulnerability and intimacy and we are very grateful that you do. The world is a sad place and often a literal "freak" show. You help transform the pain and confusion into something coherent and beautiful. You are demonstrating an example of using a challenge to propel yourself to the next level in your growth as an artist and human being. That is inspiring, whatever our own challenges.

This singer is the very pinnacle of what man is capable of in the art of song.

[@thesarus1]

I am way behind the rest of the world in that I have only just discovered Puddles - but thanks to the wonders of youtube, I have now watched almost every song he has performed. And that’s just it - it’s a performance - It’s not just the amazing voice - but it’s the character - the hand movements - the facial expressions - it’s the amazing creation of this very talented man. I am utterly hooked.

had a funny moment earlier... was binge watching puddles videos... my mum heard him singing and said "who is that singing? he has a really good voice". the moment i said "puddles the clown" she looked at me like i was crazy haha I hope there's an album with these cover songs coming soon. such power and feeling needs to be heard... amazing stuff!

[@9Preciosa]

darrenlamb11 yes... binge watching & he’s making me appreciate music again- he makes it look easy

not sure if this is what happened to puddles, but previous acts have said that they had very little choice in what they could pick to perform perform as a lot of it is decided by the producers. :/

[@writerchick62]

It's not just Puddles' voice; it's also the way he interprets every song he sings. He's such an artist in that regard.

[@devlincarter1446]

I don't think you realize just how much of AGT is a directed sham. A good portion of the talents and reactions are scripted. They care less about talent and more about getting good ratings and views.

[@fadedhashimukh3655]

I lose my interest from AGT when you eliminate. But you are the real champion to me. Love puddles❤💛💚

Oh Puddles....this made me cry. Maybe it's the week I've had. Maybe it's your voice echoing in my mind. Maybe it's just that the world gets too heavy and I'm small. I am so happy I found your music. You have brought a light into my soul and for that I think you're awesome. So thank you, Puddles. You have a dedicated fan in me.

[@edster612]

As a huge fan of the original I can say I was truly surprised by this interpretation of "Losing My Religion." I didn't think Puddles could pull it off. The original is just too perfect I thought. Well this particular cover is a standalone, in it's own right. The slow baritone and the backing track give it a different depth and offer a dark sadness, rather than the energetic angst and confusion of Stipe. I'm not saying this cover is better or worse, but it certainly is more profound.

[@Jim-pv1cq]

Its easy when you cover someone else's song and steal the guitar from the man in black.

[@Bevity]

Puddles can pull anything off! So talented!

[@LifeTheExperience]

This is beautiful. You're going to have to sing Everybody Hurts to follow this up.

[@KeeTheKid]

I need a "Join the Pity Party" shirt. Great logo, the theme and message go well with Puddles. I've never wanted someone to win a talent show as much as you! However, talent shows don't determine your success by any means (it may be better if you don't win one and get attached to some sort of pop industry stigma), and you've already gained the attention and adoration of many people. You have one of the best voices/acts that many people have seen recently, and with all your experience, I think you're better off continuing doing your own thing and networking the way that best works for you.

[@ShadenLogan]

[@ccea771]

Dear Puddles. I'm in such mourning over how AGT went for you, we all are. Not about not making the cut, but the way your last performance went down. I've watched nearly all 1K of Sarah's YT playlist over the past 3.5 years and been to 6 of your shows, and am well aware that you are ALWAYS ON, performing brilliantly, no matter where you are - on a street corner, in a tiny radio studio, in a coffee shop, on any stage. I'm not usually one to buy in to conspiracy theories but it's pretty clear that the further you progressed on that show the less of YOU was allowed to be present and for that reason I am relieved you are free now. Free to give us old fans and especially all the new ones the gift of uploads like this one. Free to show us yourself, as you do so masterfully here. Free to come back to PDX so I can give you your next shrinky dink and a big hug. The upside is the pity party's way bigger now and full of wonderful peeps who are so grateful to have found you! There's a lot of comments on here, but I hope you can read them all eventually because they are all amazingly supportive and full of love for your talent, your craft, your art, for YOU. Just the way you are. You're gonna grow a few inches taller reading all these comments, I bet. Maybe even make that left foot grow to match the right, geez, Phil's gonna have to make you a new pair of kicks. Feel it? Yeah, ya do. Love ya, P. 😘✌️

[@ItsByKat]

CCEA, I couldn't have said it any better. And lest we all forget... he's a mere mortal; just as human as the rest of us. Is he NOT allowed to react when something so crazy as the X buzzer happens?

And also that theres a contract you have to sign saying you wont talk about that stuff with anyone outside the show

[@karenwalker2464]

[@Lionimia]

Puddles, I never heard of you before your AGT performance, and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to see you go far, though it was not meant to be. That said, even after your departure from the show, I'm remaining a fan! I'm staying subbed until the end!

I just.....I have no words. This is my favourite REM by a long way and it always gets my feet and hands tapping, and if I could dance I'd be bopping around whatever room I'm in when it comes on. But this. This is a completely different take on the song. It had me holding back tears. Such emotion in every note, I really felt it. You took REM's song and made it your own.
