This guy doesn’t have a sob story and is just pure talent. That’s why I love Sofia as a judge. She doesn’t give a golden buzzer to someone with a sob story but someone who as an amazing talent.
I had the privilege of singing with Jimmie in the PSU Chamber Choir, and he is so incredibly kind and humble. It was only a matter of time that everyone would learn his name! Go Jimmie!
Thanks, Kaleb! I can definitely second this, Jimmie's kindness is equal to his talent if not above and beyond. You can't beat that combination of training, talent, and personality.
Jimmie has performed this song many, many times in front of live audiences with the Portland band Pink Martini. It was just another day at the office for him.
He definitely had many songs in his head as his a music teacher 😂. But he proceeded to deliver what is to be delivered as he prepared it for the audition.
I also think it was a conscious choice to sing his song, self-assurance. not having a 2nd song is the best move of this gold star's life... did forced simon to love it, he had no choice!
@@JadedMuse2 I really dont understand people who already have a robust professional career coming on this show. If he's already a successful performer on one of the biggest stages in the world why does he need to be here
That's the best rendition of that song that I've ever heard. Normally it's sung by kids as it's a kids song from the musical but Jimmie really knocked it out of the park with that. Amazing!
Yes indeed he did very proud of him like he was my son he's very special I could tell how he called his Dad and his Dad wad proud of him 💙 💙🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Wow, totally rocked that to perfection and made it his own. Crazy how someone can have that talent and keep it concealed for so long. That last note too-gonna be hard to beat!
Yes! And today I found out that Sofia Vergara is a better actor than I thought, hahaha. What a beautiful lady. And Jimmie deserves it! He's immensely talented and so likable!
Love when Simon gets a huge slap in the face for how negative he can be, Jimmie is definitely one of the most calm and humble constants that’s been on this show
In Simon's defense - just think of all of the times he's suggested that singers perform a different song, and he's usually right - they nail it. And, he will admit it when he's wrong. Folks may not like it, but he knows talent.
To his credit, Simon knows the industry, and loves to be proven wrong...but the times when he's 100% wrong are very few and far between. He's very pragmatic because he's looking at each contestant as a business proposition, not emotionally.
This person just might have the single most unique and perfect singing voice I ever heard in my life. Nuance and power. Control. Stamina. Perfect pitch. It's all there, man.
Yes his voice is wonderful. His phrasing, his diction, his expression... everything about his performance is perfect. But it's his brilliant choice of arrangement that made it possible to win over everyone who hates that song. Including Simon. Including me. That arrangement is the foundation for everything Jimmie was able to accomplish. What a freaking awesome star!
My guess is he just hasn’t had the exposure, yet, to absolutely catapult him to higher stardom❣️ Maintain that confidence & determination, Jimmy‼️ When you have it, which you DEFINITELY DO, KEEP BELIEVING & go for your dreams‼️ UNQUESTIONABLE PERFECTION‼️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩 🏆🎶🎵🙏🏼. “The sun never sets on a star!” 🤩💫
@@rihamqahtan5440 Why are you saying that, and who even cares? Jimmie is an incredible human being, male or female. I bet he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I wish he was my friend. Such a sweet personality.
@@biancablanchfield3857why? There's always somebody else that could be checked out. ie Michael Yung,Puddles the Clown. His moment..I wanted to check this out.
Tell me about it. I found this about a week ago and I’ve watched it over 50 times. It is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. He without a doubt deserved that golden buzzer.
@@niilsaa I agree with you 1000% percent, I love it so much I downloaded it on my phone and play it in my car and listen to it about 10 times back to back at least 5 times a week, I was disappointed when he didn't win the whole thing😔
The fact that he was able to perform after what Simon said proves he is a true entertainer. So happy for him. Love Sofia she was a great addition to the panel.
Sofia is a breath of fresh air. You can see her enthusiasm and joy on every episode of AGT so far. She is a great judge and I hope she stays for a long time.
@@xidiamond6851 well he got the Golden Buzzer, so that pretty much makes him a true entertainer. Not to mention he is a member of Portland band Pink Martini which has another member Storm Large getting a great audition on AGT just last week. Get your facts straight before making another stupid comment.
I keep coming back to this, which I can't say for many performances. It's both his sweetness, his charisma, his interpretation and his voice. Just absolutely wonderful.
@I am me • 25y ago hes not better then opera singers he was putting vibratos to the 20secs which would make it easier than if u just sang one solid note and although yes he is very good he lacks the typr of voice opera singers have? Like dont really hear a constant strongnest in his voice but still very good though
His soul leaving and re-entering. I’m a big man Love to sing but am so bad lol. Never has stopped me ever. I do wish I could just sound like that belting out. It’s angelic to have a great voice I love to hear it.
No ones gonna believed a Music teacher comin to AGT without a back up song, he really wanted simon to hear this. Glad he said he didn't have a back up song.
Watched and cried, such a beautiful performance. Why isn't this talent on broadway? The nuances, the intonation, the vibrato and power in his voice. Amazing.
I like to see the humbleness of this talented singer. He steped back to receive the applause of the judges and audience with a thankful smile. I like to see how embarrassed Simon looked after Jimmie finished his performance. I love to see how Sofia pretended to say she disliked the song but pressed the golden buzzer thereafter. I love to see Heidi screaming with joy.
Disney needs to sign this man to sing on every soundtrack of every movie from here on out lol. He has a smooth innocence about his voice, which will be perfect for children movies 🔥
They did play "Never Enough" in the background during his audition towards the end and I swear it was Jimmie voice. I mean just go back and take a listen and listen to the comparison. Lol
This is probably better than any x factor audition I've ever heard not only AGT. This proves that no matter which song you choose if you have talent - you gonna impress everyone :)
His timbre is unbelievable! The facets, the colors, the power, the vocal cry, his friggin' phrasing and dosage of power/whisper, oh my god he deserved that golden buzzer!
Jimmy, this is one of, if not THE best first audition I've ever seen. What a voice. I've watched this video almost 100 times and I still get chills. This is insanely good.
I too have watched this video over and over again. I have bookmarked it. I love listening to the song and listening to you sing this song. It just brightens my day. Just outstanding ❣️❣️❣️
This is my first time seeing this video and I can't believe how wonderfully Jimmie sings! He seems to fill with joy when he sings, not to mention that beautiful smile! I'm pretty sure I'll be back a hundred times too lol!
Jimmy may all of your dreams come true. Your a handsome singer and very talented! Your voice literally brought me to tears. Good job! congrats on the golden buzzer from the beautiful and talented Sofia!!! GOOD JOB JIMMY!!!
I agree. I can tell that Ms. Vergara was moved by the song. The camera was on her at his delivery of the line "I just stick out my chain and grin and say"-- it perhaps has resonated with her.
@@sarahluper7881 The fact you wrote "chain" instead of "chin" made me think Annie would've been an even darker musical, if the kids were not only mistreated, but also chained. 😂😂😂
The rendition was so good. His dynamics were right on, his articulation to the enunciations came in beautifully to share his unbelievable tones. His natural vibrato with an excellent falsetto and powerful straight tones that put Annie’s song, TOMORROW on a new level of greatness. Thank You
What a great review! You found the words to describe something that I thought was indescribable. But remember, it's enunciation. Totally different meaning.
@@sumojoann Thank you for the love, my friend. I changed or edited to articulation - enunciation. The compliments really go to the performer which I I heard at a time when I really needed it. I’ve always enjoyed the song, Tomorrow from the Annie Musical, but his version struck something inside me that I had to give a review. I guess I’m weird because I thought about his performance for many hours, which put me in a much better place emotionally. Complimenting my review was incredibly nice. 😀
I saw him tonight with the Pink Martini band at the Moss Arts Center in Blacksburg, VA. I was amazed by his singing so I had to look for him in UA-cam. Tomorrow was one of the encore songs by Pink Martini. Jimmie did a full version at it was mesmerizing from beginning to end. Truly outstanding singer.
When he said he don't have another song, it's either arrogant or confident. And clearly, he knows the definition of confident. Golden Buzzer on Simon's most hated song, this guy already is a winner to me.
Totally scripted....sad to say!!! This guy already is a known singer (if not already under contract with one of the producers on AGT). There is no way in hell that he didn't have another song. He does have an amazing voice!!!
Holy cow, when he sang that final note “away”, he held it for 19 seconds without running out of breath. That’s incredible! Everyone else would’ve died by then or had their lungs pop from lack of air.
Not everyone else actually. There are many, many singers who can hold a note that long. It just takes practiced breath control. I’m not putting down the great performance, I’m just saying it’s not all that unique to he able to sustain notes for 20, 25, or even 30 seconds in some cases.
Jimmie’s version was a much more grown, hopeful, and inspiring version that held a level of maturity that the original version of the song didn’t have. His arrangement was smart and made this song more of a high level Broadway show stopper with the vocals to back it up. Definitely deserving of the golden buzzer cause of this.
This young man has the whole package and more. The humbleness, the majesty, the beauty of his voice, his poise and his confidence. He was just amazing, extraordinary. So beautiful and powerful. That is Greatness !! G-d bless him and he continues to delight us with his gift. It is a privilege to listen to his voice and be exposed to the beautiful, magnificent and peaceful energy he exudes !! Waoo!! I had seen this video 3 times already and l could listen and listen again and again....waoo...unbelievable !! To me there are no words....l don't know this man, but waoo he is special...my respect...so humble...!!
The way he held that last note to PERFECTION, he’s breathing technique and his voice is what Simon said: UNBELIEVABLE! Left with my mouth wide open. Crazy! He actually deserved 2 golden buzzers 😂
My son went to art school with Jimmie although in different programs, he said Jimmie is the real deal. All his professors and peers were amazed by his talent even at a younger age. Wishing him the very best future!
@@weezadam Hey,what’s up? Nice comments.I will like to know you more better,let be friends instead.you can text me on my WhatsApp number +1 (724) 587‑2043 for better conversation if you don’t mind.
@@andreaseferi8204 I'm interested in what you're saying here. How do vocal lessons cause symptoms? Julie Andrews once said her vocal coach taught her that being so well-rehearsed makes mistakes almost impossible. I assume of course that presumes having first learned good technique. Please elaborate!
I just listened to Sydney's version. I need to tell you all. The first phrase this guy sang just blew me away, and the last voice control is massive. He's so technical. I sing both classic and contemporary songs, and i can see this guy blends in both worlds perfectly. He's a more dynamic singer and can do much more with his gracious talent and stunning voice. Though Sydney is also a beautiful singer, but he's special.
When Simon said he should do another song and he was like "I don't have another". He was like you are not taking this from me.... (he is a music teacher he has songs. But this was THE song.
It was staged that way to give us more drama. Simon almost missed his cue, but Sofia did a great job. But of course those dramas won't take away this man's big talent. Such a good, enjoyable entertainment anyway.
The music teacher thing was to make him seem more relatable and more of an underdog. He already has a career in the famous group Pink Martini, and I’m sure he was told not to mention it to gain better support from the audience. You should check out the group.
Actually although he's an unbelievable talent...u need to listen to Amy Winehouse voice... like Freddy Mercury, she had a once in a generation voice... I believe Jimmie Herrod has the same type of voice
He definitely has a voice that should be on Broadway. In literally ANY show!! DUDE I would love hear him sing any some from Dear Evan Hansen. The story DEH and the songs are all extremely heartfelt and emotional. And his has a voice that comes across emotional!
@@Garion1227 I know right! However Broadway has basically been shut down for almost 2 years. I have a couple of friends who have been in ensemble in a couple of really good shows. Frozen, Heathers (before it went to Broadway) and one even in the west end Hamilton! They all have had such a tough time with Covid because they literally couldn’t do anything. There were no shows, so no auditions or bookings. Plus right now there have been big protests going on and a thousands of actors have said they won’t preform or do anything until a producer is gone. His name is Scott Rudin. He’s highly acclaimed and has won multiple Tony’s and I believe an Grammy for a song he wrote. Anyways proof has come out of him being extremely abusive. He has thrown laptops at cast and crew, pushed people down stairs, been openly racist and homophobic, he hurt a stage hand so bad she had to go to the ER. She had broken 2 ribs, hurt the vertebrae in her name, and had brain bleed and a bruised skull. He’s still getting hired for shows left and right. So people are literally dropping out of shows to try to get The Shubert Organization which is the biggest profiteer on Broadway and basically runs all the theatres and shows to fire him.
This year has the most talented ppl ever on AGT. With the common threat and other disasters our world has faced what a perfect time for humanity to display the positive abilities endowed in us. And yes we should all be more loving
This dude's a front runner to win the whole thing IMO. One of the cleanest vocals I ever heard as soon as he started singing. And he hit it out the park even after the pressure Simon put on him at the start.
The judges didn’t bring this up but, as if this performance wasn’t one of the greatest I’ve seen as it is, it’s even more impressive when one of the judges is basically telling you you’re going to fail before even starting. Then you go ahead and drop that bombshell of a performance. Wow.
"Nervous means you're alive." - Amazing and highly underrated quote.
Yes, I really liked that.
Powerful quote actually
What if someone just died out of nervous... Is he more alive now or.. Moree dead?
Sharp as a Katana ☝️ Comes in handy nowadays 😃 So Powerful ✊
Absolutely
His students are extremely lucky to have him as a teacher. I bet he’s a fabulous instructor too. The performance hit my emotional side. Thank You
I think so.. I wish i could be his student too by the way ...

This guy doesn’t have a sob story and is just pure talent. That’s why I love Sofia as a judge. She doesn’t give a golden buzzer to someone with a sob story but someone who as an amazing talent.
But sometimes you have a sob story plus talent. You cant run away from who you are. Look at night bird. But she definitely is talented.
@@gertrudeterera6356 Yes I understand that but sometimes they give a golden buzzer for someone who isn’t AMAZING but has a sob story.

Which is every other person competing has a sob story. They will let them go through that day..but the next week their gone!!
Everyone has a sob story, not everyone can share it or pull inspiration from it. Peace

I'm jealous of you. It feels great to work with great people. It's a form of blessing to know them personally.
He does look like a real great and cool person !
I wish Jimmie all the BEST BEST BEST AND all the BEST to you too 😊
Nice to know that he has great humanity too .
Thanks, Kaleb! I can definitely second this, Jimmie's kindness is equal to his talent if not above and beyond. You can't beat that combination of training, talent, and personality.
He, with all his confidence, said "i dont have any other song", and he proved ittt!!!
He went with his heart and stuck to his guns... it paid off BIG TIME!
He actually could’ve easily said I don’t need any other song 🤣 he was just being polite
Jimmie has performed this song many, many times in front of live audiences with the Portland band Pink Martini. It was just another day at the office for him.
He definitely had many songs in his head as his a music teacher 😂. But he proceeded to deliver what is to be delivered as he prepared it for the audition.
And the girl who said " oh no" is so cringey. She makes it seem staged.
Two years later (2024) and I am listening to this again. What a voice.
This is my first time seeing it. Killed it!!
I’m still listening too! His voice is amazing.
Me too❤
Same here❤
One of my fav auditions ever
am i the only one who thinks he has the PERFECT voice for a Disney movie???
nope
same... i literally thought the same❤
and Broadway
Me too! And when Simon went wow wow wow!
Swears Disney is so hiring him
"I dont have another song" take it or leave it.
I wish my emotional intelligence was this unshakeable. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
BUT IT IS MY SISTER
I can only imagine what he went through inside, and he dealt with it and shone. Still when I re-listen, I cannot watch until the golden buzzer.
Me too.
I also think it was a conscious choice to sing his song, self-assurance. not having a 2nd song is the best move of this gold star's life... did forced simon to love it, he had no choice!
And to think he mentioned he was nervous.... very strong EI right there
Broadway better dial his digits, because his voice is....I'm at a loss for words to describe how amazing it is!
And Disney Wow!!!
Facts
Definitely a Broadway singer
Saw on IG he is a Broadway singer. 💕
@@JadedMuse2 I really dont understand people who already have a robust professional career coming on this show. If he's already a successful performer on one of the biggest stages in the world why does he need to be here

Simon would have added motivation for sure... He was like...so you dont like this song??? I will show YOU! Haha
Wow, totally rocked that to perfection and made it his own. Crazy how someone can have that talent and keep it concealed for so long. That last note too-gonna be hard to beat!
No way!!, finally seeing u in a comment
Most talented people aren’t hiding it - they are trying hard to be seen!
When BROADWAY OPENS
he should be in someones SHOW!! OMG
That last note... Just wow
DEMAS né jente valeu
It’s the first golden buzzer for a LONG time that wasn’t about a sad story but because of pure talent !
What about the Taekwondo people
I like the taekwondo people too
What about Courtney Hadgwin
The taekwondo people are great too!
Yes! And today I found out that Sofia Vergara is a better actor than I thought, hahaha. What a beautiful lady. And Jimmie deserves it! He's immensely talented and so likable!
Love when Simon gets a huge slap in the face for how negative he can be, Jimmie is definitely one of the most calm and humble constants that’s been on this show
One thing though…Simon will always admit when he’s wrong.
I actually think he likes being proved wrong.

To be fair he’s probably heard that song 1000 times with heaps of bad singers and he’s probably sick of it
That last note!! Thank goodness he didn't start to doubt or get nervous because Simon wanted him to choose another song. Golden buzzer, well deserved!
He believed in himself
He is just too good so he would have done it justice even if he sang it half as good! He is unbelievable!
This person just might have the single most unique and perfect singing voice I ever heard in my life. Nuance and power. Control. Stamina. Perfect pitch. It's all there, man.
Reminds me of billy porter in the best way vocally
And his voice is so clear! He honestly reminds me of Whitney Houston, Streisand, and MJ all rolled up into one! Yet, he’s so unique!
I think you are probably correct. For the last week, been trying to match it to someone and can't. Just miraculous.
Yes his voice is wonderful. His phrasing, his diction, his expression... everything about his performance is perfect. But it's his brilliant choice of arrangement that made it possible to win over everyone who hates that song. Including Simon. Including me. That arrangement is the foundation for everything Jimmie was able to accomplish. What a freaking awesome star!

Exactly
Yeah, cause they always have a back up song. He knew he was in the pocket with this one!
It was all planned. Gimme a break.
@@carolyn6569 mind explaining how,as in the judges were told before hand to intentionally shake him up ?
Let's all admit we always come back for that note 3:28 - 3:46 .He did a proper 18 secs. WOW!
That's pure talent
When someone can take a classic song and make people feel as if they're hearing it for the first time, that's TALENT!
What makes him so wonderful is not just his unbelievable talent but the absolute joy he exudes while singing. He is absolutely infectious.
Yep. Great voice and hugely likeable.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that he held that last note for 17 SECONDS???? That takes INCREDIBLE lung power
I get goose bumps every time I hear it. He just takes you to another place.
Think you will find it was 20 second's
My sentiments exactly!
Diaphragm strength not lung.

This is probably one of the best auditions of all time. His range is amazing. And, one of the best versions of this song EVER.❤

To the count of 24. I'm a singer, and that was fantastic.
His soul leaving and re-entering. I’m a big man Love to sing but am so bad lol. Never has stopped me ever. I do wish I could just sound like that belting out. It’s angelic to have a great voice I love to hear it.

Isn’t it just?

I don’t like how feminine he is.
@@Frenite cry about it. he didn’t get that golden buzzer for nothing, that’s for sure
@@amaliaowl I agree with you
@@Frenite I think he is gay that is why he is more soft.
Love your comment ❤
I can’t stop listening over and over!! AMAZING!!! I love how honest Simon is to speak his mind but admits when he is wrong.

Mee too!!

Me too🔥🫶🏽👌🏾
Jimmy, this is one of, if not THE best first audition I've ever seen. What a voice. I've watched this video almost 100 times and I still get chills. This is insanely good.
I have seen it a hundred times too.
This is my 100th also
Exactly the same here.
I too have watched this video over and over again. I have bookmarked it. I love listening to the song and listening to you sing this song. It just brightens my day. Just outstanding ❣️❣️❣️
This is my first time seeing this video and I can't believe how wonderfully Jimmie sings! He seems to fill with joy when he sings, not to mention that beautiful smile! I'm pretty sure I'll be back a hundred times too lol!
Jimmy may all of your dreams come true. Your a handsome singer and very talented! Your voice literally brought me to tears. Good job! congrats on the golden buzzer from the beautiful and talented Sofia!!! GOOD JOB JIMMY!!!
WHY ISN’T THIS GUY ON BROADWAY?! Like his vocals are incredible!
That’s a he?
DISNEY NEEDS TO SIGN THIS PERSON!!!
@@kailanirhys6107 I said the same thing with a voice like THAT
@@PillowheadCreations loooooool that's disrespectful respectfully
@@PillowheadCreations jealous are you?
That was beyond. His tone is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. And his emotional depth/connection is spiritual. Wow doesn’t do it justice.
He gave it all thats for sure...he didn't hold back..!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Obviously haven’t been introduced to Dimash
@@thomas216h Dimash just has range.
Listen to Voctave. They are completely Acapella . And sensational.
Dude you’re not a judge chill
I got major chills when he sang-it felt like he was doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing in this world. What a joy to hear him sing!
Absolutely the truth, I agree
couldn't agree more. that was bananas!
He completely owned the song and made it his. Such a beauty performance and a well-deserved golden buzzer❤
He had both female and male voices, and the ability to put the emphasis on what the song needed at the correct time.
I agree. I can tell that Ms. Vergara was moved by the song. The camera was on her at his delivery of the line "I just stick out my chain and grin and say"-- it perhaps has resonated with her.
@@sarahluper7881 The fact you wrote "chain" instead of "chin" made me think Annie would've been an even darker musical, if the kids were not only mistreated, but also chained. 😂😂😂
@@sarahluper7881 BV1Jh411U7qc
indeed
Gay so he has to sound like a girl when he talking normally....
The rendition was so good. His dynamics were right on, his articulation to the enunciations came in beautifully to share his unbelievable tones. His natural vibrato with an excellent falsetto and powerful straight tones that put Annie’s song, TOMORROW on a new level of greatness. Thank You
You are a vocalist too.
Best ever review.
Ohh the words🔥🔥
What a great review! You found the words to describe something that I thought was indescribable. But remember, it's enunciation. Totally different meaning.
@@sumojoann Thank you for the love, my friend. I changed or edited to articulation - enunciation. The compliments really go to the performer which I I heard at a time when I really needed it. I’ve always enjoyed the song, Tomorrow from the Annie Musical, but his version struck something inside me that I had to give a review. I guess I’m weird because I thought about his performance for many hours, which put me in a much better place emotionally. Complimenting my review was incredibly nice. 😀
@@collinsodhiambo Thanks for the Love, my friend.
I saw him tonight with the Pink Martini band at the Moss Arts Center in Blacksburg, VA. I was amazed by his singing so I had to look for him in UA-cam. Tomorrow was one of the encore songs by Pink Martini. Jimmie did a full version at it was mesmerizing from beginning to end. Truly outstanding singer.
When he said he don't have another song, it's either arrogant or confident. And clearly, he knows the definition of confident. Golden Buzzer on Simon's most hated song, this guy already is a winner to me.
I wonder if it was scripted, tbh. (to add more "drama" to the show)
Totally scripted....sad to say!!! This guy already is a known singer (if not already under contract with one of the producers on AGT). There is no way in hell that he didn't have another song. He does have an amazing voice!!!
@@symbasmith3049 yep! even if scripted...such a phenomenal performance!
Fun fact, my boyfriend sang in choir with him in college and when he heard that, he was like, that's a lie he could sing anything lol
It’s not like he got the golden buzzer by Simon so I wouldn’t really go off that.
Holy cow, when he sang that final note “away”, he held it for 19 seconds without running out of breath. That’s incredible! Everyone else would’ve died by then or had their lungs pop from lack of air.
Such control and grace. I love it.
that 19 seconds 🔥
Matt shadow from a7x can
Holy crap youre absolutely right
Not everyone else actually. There are many, many singers who can hold a note that long. It just takes practiced breath control. I’m not putting down the great performance, I’m just saying it’s not all that unique to he able to sustain notes for 20, 25, or even 30 seconds in some cases.
Perfect voice and personality for anything that he decides to pursue.
That is a voice that belongs on Broadway 🥰
Jimmy’s rendition of TOMORROW still stands out as an all time favorite of this show!!!1. It will always be remembered still in 2023!!!!!
2024
Watch Sydney Christmas she overpowered it
Jimmie’s version was a much more grown, hopeful, and inspiring version that held a level of maturity that the original version of the song didn’t have. His arrangement was smart and made this song more of a high level Broadway show stopper with the vocals to back it up. Definitely deserving of the golden buzzer cause of this.

This young man has the whole package and more.
The humbleness, the majesty, the beauty of his voice, his poise and his confidence. He was just amazing, extraordinary. So beautiful and powerful. That is Greatness !!
G-d bless him and he continues to delight us with his gift.
It is a privilege to listen to his voice and be exposed to the beautiful, magnificent and peaceful energy he exudes !!
Waoo!! I had seen this video 3 times already and l could listen and listen again and again....waoo...unbelievable !!
To me there are no words....l don't know this man, but waoo he is special...my respect...so humble...!!

I concur
MOOOD
Sum it up then, why dontcha. He's a MEGASTAR
He should definitely be on Broadway!!!
He is
Simon: so are you singer?
Jimmie: ya, i hope so,..
Someone who is very humble. Love him.
Indeed
Where on earth is the LOVEEEEEEEEE ❤❤❤ button? He is AMAZING!!!!!!
It's easy to get sick of singers and card magicians on this show but Jimmie gave me goosebumps. Absolutely beautiful one of a kind voice.
Johnny Manuel singing "I Have Nothing" edged him out. Very few can sing Whitney
I feel like in a Disney movie and musical at the same time! Just adorable! ❤️
Well deserved Golden Buzzer! 👏🤩

He sang it like a Disney princess song. He did an incredible job. Proud of him
Yh he did
Should have won. Ridiculous one of the best voices ever on the show!
The way he held that last note to PERFECTION, he’s breathing technique and his voice is what Simon said: UNBELIEVABLE! Left with my mouth wide open. Crazy! He actually deserved 2 golden buzzers 😂
He held that note for almost 20 seconds. It was about 17 seconds, which is incredible. It's not an easy thing to do.
True that!!
Nothing overdone. He was singing, not shouting, and that last note was brilliant! Why isn't the man a star?
This is a million dollars performance. Truly one of the best singers I have ever heard.
My son went to art school with Jimmie although in different programs, he said Jimmie is the real deal. All his professors and peers were amazed by his talent even at a younger age. Wishing him the very best future!
Hello I will like to know more about you
Wow
It was a well deserved golden buzzer congrats Jimmie you so deserve it
Jimmie most definitely has a God given talent. Praying for his huge success!!! I would love to have a CD!
Yes I'm ready for a set of songs from him
ok
Lol a “CD” 😆😄
Happy pride!
I wanna hear him to sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. It would sound equally grand, for sure!
He’s got that Adam Lambert kind of vibe

@@weezadam Hey,what’s up? Nice comments.I will like to know you more better,let be friends instead.you can text me on my WhatsApp number +1 (724) 587‑2043 for better conversation if you don’t mind.
I want to hear him sing The Greatest Showman's "Never Enough..." the song playing in the background of this video!
Even if he doesn’t win this show, he’s got an excellent career in front of him on Broadway. A voice like that can sell out night after night. 👊
You’re right! When you can sing well, there is no need for gimmicks like singers do in the past.
That was beautiful
Beware of vocal lessons they cause symptoms
Investing in bitcoin is another way of ensuring steady cash flow, i have been earning every week for a year now
@@andreaseferi8204 I'm interested in what you're saying here. How do vocal lessons cause symptoms? Julie Andrews once said her vocal coach taught her that being so well-rehearsed makes mistakes almost impossible. I assume of course that presumes having first learned good technique. Please elaborate!
I just listened to Sydney's version. I need to tell you all. The first phrase this guy sang just blew me away, and the last voice control is massive. He's so technical. I sing both classic and contemporary songs, and i can see this guy blends in both worlds perfectly. He's a more dynamic singer and can do much more with his gracious talent and stunning voice. Though Sydney is also a beautiful singer, but he's special.
When Simon said he should do another song and he was like "I don't have another". He was like you are not taking this from me.... (he is a music teacher he has songs. But this was THE song.
It was staged that way to give us more drama. Simon almost missed his cue, but Sofia did a great job.
But of course those dramas won't take away this man's big talent. Such a good, enjoyable entertainment anyway.
Beware of vocal lessons they cause symptoms
The music teacher thing was to make him seem more relatable and more of an underdog. He already has a career in the famous group Pink Martini, and I’m sure he was told not to mention it to gain better support from the audience. You should check out the group.

This guy seriously might be one of the best AGT singers ever.
Yess (:
Yes yes yes!!!
It’s a girl
He’s a guy
Nope. Don’t play the race trans card
Soooo, I’m pretty sure this guy is the best vocalist in human history. This is absolutely ridiculous. This man has the best voice I’ve ever heard
Actually although he's an unbelievable talent...u need to listen to Amy Winehouse voice... like Freddy Mercury, she had a once in a generation voice... I believe Jimmie Herrod has the same type of voice
I totally agree!!!
You need to listen to a lot more singers.
@@fezzik7619 I listen to a lot of different genres and artist.
@@fezzik7619 are you crazy that man has range out of this world.
What a beautiful man, with a beautiful voice!! I agreed with the golden buzzer!
Jimmie belongs on Broadway! What a performance! A truly worthy Golden Buzzer!
But not a Vegas show
@@Andrew-ks8hx I agree he is more deserving than a Vegas show
Exactly.Peace
He definitely has a voice that should be on Broadway. In literally ANY show!! DUDE I would love hear him sing any some from Dear Evan Hansen. The story DEH and the songs are all extremely heartfelt and emotional. And his has a voice that comes across emotional!
I KNOOOOOW he started and i went Broaaadwaaay!!!!!
Tradução
I’m surprised he isn’t already a huge broadway star.
@@Garion1227 I know right! However Broadway has basically been shut down for almost 2 years. I have a couple of friends who have been in ensemble in a couple of really good shows. Frozen, Heathers (before it went to Broadway) and one even in the west end Hamilton! They all have had such a tough time with Covid because they literally couldn’t do anything. There were no shows, so no auditions or bookings. Plus right now there have been big protests going on and a thousands of actors have said they won’t preform or do anything until a producer is gone. His name is Scott Rudin. He’s highly acclaimed and has won multiple Tony’s and I believe an Grammy for a song he wrote. Anyways proof has come out of him being extremely abusive. He has thrown laptops at cast and crew, pushed people down stairs, been openly racist and homophobic, he hurt a stage hand so bad she had to go to the ER. She had broken 2 ribs, hurt the vertebrae in her name, and had brain bleed and a bruised skull. He’s still getting hired for shows left and right. So people are literally dropping out of shows to try to get The Shubert Organization which is the biggest profiteer on Broadway and basically runs all the theatres and shows to fire him.
@@Garion1227 not a Broadway star but he is already in the famous group Pink Martini. I’m guessing he’s using AGT to potentially start a solo career?
This year has the most talented ppl ever on AGT. With the common threat and other disasters our world has faced what a perfect time for humanity to display the positive abilities endowed in us. And yes we should all be more loving
2024 and I can't get over this performance .....just so darn good 👏

This dude's a front runner to win the whole thing IMO. One of the cleanest vocals I ever heard as soon as he started singing. And he hit it out the park even after the pressure Simon put on him at the start.
Facts!! You took the words right out of my mouth!
It's scripted... It's part of the 'show'
No one can deny he is a fantastic singer; However, I feel like we have American Idol for singers. No shade at this guy, though. He is phenomenal.
@@B_Bodziak I’m pretty sure American Idol has age requirements.
@@B_Bodziak pretty sure that's not a dude. Gender fluid though... lol
Great voice... 101 % deserving of the Golden Buzzer.
His voice is like buttery smooth silk. I feel like he’s be perfect for Broadway
The judges didn’t bring this up but, as if this performance wasn’t one of the greatest I’ve seen as it is, it’s even more impressive when one of the judges is basically telling you you’re going to fail before even starting. Then you go ahead and drop that bombshell of a performance. Wow.
Ya definitely made Simon eat his words
Yes! And how he didn't pass out on that note at the end held for near 20 seconds, A- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAah
then you gave birth
They never said that. Simon just said that the song is terrible. And everyone in the world agrees.

Hi
The song is bad,the voice nothing special,why golden buzzer?I respect but I do not understand!!
If that guy isn’t in a Disney movie soon, a huge opportunity has been missed!
As talented as he is, i personally hope he doesnt go to Disney. That company destroys everything the touch
call broadway now somebody please !!
Thanks for saying it...he's voice remains me Disney movies
Absolutely true!
