Brandy is so generous. Not only has she given us this song, she also gives him a platform and lets him have the final line in his own style; which highlights his beautiful voice.

[@lindalancaster5246]

[@l.elliott809]

I'm 74 years old and I've heard a lot of different singers, but you just really touch my heart. I love your voice, music and various choices of songs. Please stay true to your talent and don't get lost in a world that so many other people have become buried under. Much love and respect.

[@tomtomlinson4826]

Perhaps she'll write a song just for him, although he is a songwriter as well!

[@elzannecalitz914]

Brandi has this incredible way of allowing others to shine while she supports. Not only is she gifted & gorgeous, she is such a true artist with so much grace. I just recently watched her live with Joni Mitchell - on a whole other level!! I just adore Bennie-boy - soooo gifted tooo!!

[@josingh20]

Actually brought me to tears. The vunerability in his voice, the incredible lyrics, and the pace of this is just beautiful.

[@Irelandrbi]

Bennie you are a true talent. Stay humble. Respect your family and you will go far. Just don’t let the Star of Stardom blind you. Best of luck.

[@conserve_climber]

Oh my, do you see how Brandi is so watchful...very sweet and Mom like. Amazing performance

[@wendynemcek5092]

The first time I heard this song, I had fallen asleep with the TV on. Then, Brandi Carlisle came on singing thuis song. I woke up immediately to see who was singing, and it was Brandi. Her performance made me emotional, but also made my heart smile also. I loves songs that are performed with such heart. And the words hit home. Then, months later, I heard Beni sing this song on AGT, and it touched my heart strings all over again. His voice just captures your attention and enters your soul with with joy and compassion. Keep working hard Beni, have fun, and accept any opportunity to let us hear you. I hope you always love what you do. Your voice is one of a kind. Stay humble and you'll be around for a long time. GOD bless you!

[@cyndisbranti1594]

Well said!!!! Benicios voice is AMAZING!!!! He’s only 17 years old!!! Brandi is in full force right now!!!

Omg, I love love love Benicio and singing with Brandi this beautiful song 🥰 Just beautiful 😍

[@cameliamanea1401]

Benicio, you may never see this but im still going to comment💜. I can’t explain how amazing and calming your voice is. Whenever I listen to your voice, I just forget all the stress happening around me and get lost in your music. You will probably never see this, but you, your voice and personality is the best I have ever seen in a person. I may not be in America, but if I was I would be begging to go see you. When I first watched your agt performance, I was in shock and after I just couldn’t stop binge watching all of your appearances on the show- I watch them basically everyday. I sometimes even cry when I listen to your songs ❤️. I can’t imagine what I would do without knowing you. With this song, “The Joke”, you and Brandi sound like such angels and I have no idea how you didn’t get the golden buzzer when you sang it on agt. If I were in the audience I feel like I would’ve had to run up to the judges table and do it myself, it was just the most breathtaking voice I ever heard 💖✨. All of your original songs sound like literally the next big pop hit. Me and many other people always be supporting you and your career in music no matter what happens 😊🥰. Thank you so much Beni, for everything.

I've just seen the AGT 2019 video and had to check Brandi Carlile's video, and I was surprised and glad to see Benicia Bryant has his own channel, with this duet video. Looking forward to hearing much more from him as a teen and into an adult career, I hope. Talent and soul. Please pursue every aspect of music: singing, instruments, composing, audio producing, as much as you can get; find and stick with the parts you love about it. I hope you never get burned out or jaded or fall into the traps which are so easy to do. Always love music, it is a gift to the performers and creators and to the audience.

[@jimcormney]

Not really sure how to phrase this comment without sounding way out there. Here's the thing. Discovered I needed emergency double bypass surgery in June. The eve of my surgery I came across Bernicio's AGT The Joke video. How does one put into words being so impacted by another person's talent that it transcends the physical and inhabits the spiritual (hey, I warned ya'll this would be out there! Haha)? Between my deep abiding faith in Jesus and the surreal angelic voice of this young man and the continual playing of his audition video I was able to come through the other side of my ordeal both alive and healthy. I don't need any derogatory comments from haters or naysayers so please dont bother. This kid has a most unusual and remarkable gift and I am confident he has a great future in music. I am and will remain one of his bigger fans. Bernicio, no doubt your parents are tremendously proud of you. God bless you young man and thank you for sharing such a wonderful and frankly, beautiful voice.

[@DeiidraYvonne]

I saw Brandi sing it on an award show and I was so drawn to it and meant to look it up. For some reason it popped into my head today and I went to her music video. Then I saw comments about you, young man, so I had to go check out your audition on AGT. BLOWN AWAY!!!!!! You are so gifted...don't ever stop following your dream!! You were born to do this. God bless!!!
