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-audio.com

Tim DeLaney played bass, drums, piano and did sound.
Andrew Woodman did pictures.
I played guitars.
Y'all are the best. I love all the points of view. Especially the hardcore REM fans. 🖖🏼
Puddles Pity Party Cante Enjoy the Silence
DEPECHE MODE
Congrulations the Brasil
Oh hello! Keep well. Be happy. Be loved. And Never lose faith in yourself.
I like this more than the original!
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
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...
I never heard of him until yesterday. Now I am a new fan. He's wonderful. I'd love to see him live.
I Finally get to see him in November. Based on what you just said I am even more excited!!!
Couldn't of said it better my self I havet seen him perform live my self but I think he has an amazing voice
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!
Man, every song he sings, I actually hear the lyrics and I finally understand them like never before!
The same happened to me listening Johny Cash! Pure and clear pronunciation.
Agreed 100% 👍
He has a gift which he fortunately is able to exploit.
Ha really good point, dude. Same feeling
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.
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.
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.
@@mwfmtnman intellectual property is stupid! Can’t even sing Happy Birthday legally
Soulful !
Who's criticizing this? You have no soul, ear for real music,or taste.
This is perfection.
You didn't win the money, but you won the world. You're loved.
It's an act. lol
What’s he going to pay his bills with? The world or your love?
I think if you are good at something money will come to you!
Of course it's an act. Most people love Puddles/Mike.
He doesn't have wounds. I take it you don't know Mike or what he does.
We are lucky to have you Puddles.
Let’s keep things simple. During my 71 years listening to the great like Tennessee Ernie Ford, and hundreds of great singers, this man moves me like no other.. Bravo. Encore. More. 🏆😎🇺🇸💖
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.
You didn't lose a talent contest. You won the hearts of many.
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
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.
So true.
Doesn't accurately capture anything. It's produced.
Brilliant analogy. Thanks.
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
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.
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 👍🏼
Ok, so this is my favourite version of the song ... over the original. What a voice, chills.
Agreed 💯 this version is way better
Just heard this version for the first time and I agree. He lives the song.
I love REM...but damn..this is brutally awesome.
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.
Lauren Vanden Broeck plain and simple👅👅👅
We do not create to be recognized. We create because we must. Because it is the only way we know.
Lauren Vanden Broeck Love
My mother played a lot of opera in our home in the 1960’s and this man sounds like he has had professional training. His voice control, his breathing, enunciation, his range, is impeccable
Yes
He has professional training.
@@roqueiacovino No. He is a professional.
@@hoppermantis7615 indeed, he Is a professional because he has professional training.
You're probably right about that....
Puddles is incredibly talented. I’m addicted to that voice of his. Powerful.
Fame is everyone knowing your name. Fame is not everyone loving you. Puddles is my favorite version of everything he does. I can understand the words. Finally. An artist that delivers the words where I can understand the messages.
Man !!!! Puddles deserves much much more than any talent show.... No auto tune..... Just raw emotion directly from his heart. Love from India brother 😊😊😊😊
The sheer diversity of the material he covers shows his talent. How many people could credibly sing so many styles of music??
Puddles is a complete legend, he still gives hearts after 2 years. PS: You've got one of the best if not the best voice I've heard. You don't need songs, the songs need You.
That´s exactly the point!!!!
the voice and those expression....beyond compare
I love alternative renditions of popular songs. This guy is wonderful! Adds his own clarity and heart to every song he sings.
This singer is the very pinnacle of what man is capable of in the art of song.
You never give up! That's why your the best.
Jorge Harrington YES!!!!
This voice don't need any music. It's all a song need.
He has traveled the world for 9 years. He is full of sad, wonderful talent. What a beautiful voice. Others just don't understand what true talent really is.
THIS is what UA-cam should be for. For people with TALENT...to have a platform to showcase it and be seen and discovered.
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..
I think this persona is his real persona.
Joseph Hodges following.. Th voice "on" thing being.. choices made.. being a a level higher.. He wants to express his way.. Me liking to reach every step.. wish he could hold it to the end.. being "honest" for himself..and others believing in him..
Make him especially,iconic.
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.
@@josephhodges9819 Yes! I couldn't put my finger on it, but you've got it exactly right! Like Superman, Puddles is the real guy! Mike Geier's the created persona!
In the 90s angelis city adventures, my soul has never been the same. Every time was a blast. The worm turned on me, I felt it and the loud call of lets party now shouted to me.
Cannot believe how brilliant this guy's singing, it's so strong and full , Excellent!
You sir, is an endangered specimen: A true artist.
Wow... he takes an already dark song and with his haunting voice, takes it to a place much darker than the original.
kricket1972 totally right
Plus the fact that he is a sad clown. Very talented by al means~
I JUST LOVE ALL YOUR SONGS. I'VE HEARD WORDS TO SONGS I NEVER KNEW. YOU SING SO CLEARLY WITH EMOTION. THANK YOU!!!!
Love this mans voice!! Would love to hear him do “Everybody Hurts”
I think that would break me.
That will hurt. I also vote for that song.
Sure! And right after that the world ends in sadness.
Yes please... I need a good cry
Yes!
The problem with covers...
Does not exist here.
This is fine art.
It is art expressed
Absolutely
I think he raises above the bar.
This is like hearing the song for the first time, Puddles.
Puddles - my newfound addiction. This one is just magnificent in every aspect!
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.
Titaniam_w0lfie123 AJ gaming
I’d almost call it “uncovering” the song.
Truly special, the way Disturbed re-did Sound of Silence.
You are right.
Absolutely, he takes a popular song and makes it his own. I freakin love it.
When he does a cover, it’s like hearing the song for the first time.
He does!
Your incredible voice and talent was showcased on national tv. Personally, I have been listening to you for over a year. During that time, your music has helped me with the suicide of a close, close friend, a man who I considered my brother. Your music helped me, helped me during my depression, rage and constant feelings of guilt.
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. You affect people's lives with your skill, talent, voice and art and I thank you. You are amazing and nobody can take that away.
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.
Genius with a voice! You've heard the lyrics, but this man translates them to your feelings like you've never heard them before.
JUST found this. You give it a sort of Johnny Cash "Hurt" treatment. This gave me chills. Absolutely amazing.
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.
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!
Pardon the paradox but this guy was far too talented to win America's Got Talent!
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.
He didn't deserve that award. He deserves much better!
@@Zombiesbum it's capitalism, sadly.
He pronounces lyrics better than any of the original artists giving a much more poetic interpretation. Brilliant artist.
Not only the lyrics.. believing in those lyrics also!
Exactly !! I love it !
Yes
Hmmm he is baritone
That's because he slows down every song he sings and makes it sad and depressing to fit in with his image, the artist he is.
wow, I shed my tear before the first chorus, magnificent.
Probably the most talented person to have performed in the last 50 years I love this man's talents
Absolutely the best cover of Losing My Religion I've ever heard! Perfect!!
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.
Welcome to the Pity Party!
thesarus1 , very well said Sr.
Me too! Still catching up. But whatta treat to traipse thru all these gems!
да, полностью согласен!!!
Meeee toooooo! All is already said! Lots of love from Sweden 💖🙋♀️🇸🇪 to you Mike
The way you articulate these songs.. it's amazing. I legitimately feel it down in my soul and ache as you ache and hurt as you hurt in this one. Fuck dude, you have got me in the feels all of the sudden.
This is a brilliant, brilliant man. His artistic interpretation makes me cry. Such feeling and emotion. Just absolutely brilliant.
I like how he builds his voice to a climax. Many songs do this, but Puddles perfected it.
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.
Asma Clementine - I feel the same way you do -
Exactly the right intensity that this song needs, and that other interpretations often miss!
His voice is so rich of emotions. I love to hear you singing.
Puddles, you are a First Class Act. You keep plugging along!
What a haunting and epic cover. Your singing sounds like emotion. As it should be.
I can't stop the rush of feels.
HE CAN BELT IT OUT SOOO LOUD AND ITS SOOOO MOVING WHEN HE DOES, ITS SOOO CRISP AND BEAUTIFUL , 🥲🥲🥲 , U ARE THE MAN PUDDLES!! 🤩😍🥰
I hope REM feels honored to have an artist cover their song with such feeling and depth. I love this song and the heart and soul that Puddlez puts into this is amazing.
Puddles I love you, and everything you do. I am seeing you in concert in November. I voted for you 10/10 on AGT, and I hope you keep being amazing.
Choco Dog me too, in Boston, can't wait!
Nice. I am seeing him on Long Island. So exited
Didn't realize I needed to feel this heartbreak tonight- but you know, at the end of a crap year, it was exactly what I needed. I really appreciate your art, Puddles.
Stunned, gobsmacked etc. Pure talent
When Simon said your vocals weren't that good I laughed. It just goes to prove what I have always thought. He knows nothing about music. Stay strong. Your great. New Fan. :-)
americanthai1 he said it because he is not boyband material
Simon said that HIS vocals weren't that good?! OK, I think I just lost some respect for Simon, because he could not be more wrong! That voice, that range, that control... phenomenal!
americanthai1 Simon is a ....
But puddles did not chose the song that supposed to fit his character and voice
Actually "your" is incorrect. "You're" is you are and does fit the sentence. So....
I love your voice puddles. I love all of you puddles
I love your puddles Puddles.
Lols.
I almost always love the original songs better. Rarely do I like covers enough to buy it on iTunes but this guy has an amazing voice. There’s something about it I can’t explain
You absolute BEAST! WHAT A VOICE! BRAVO PUDDLES, BRAVO!
i want to hear him sing "you're a mean one mr. grinch".
I second that!
That is actually a great idea!
Oh that’d be awesome! Great idea!
Y'all don't get his character at all... He only sings sad songs.
Now that you mention it, he kinda has that Boris Karloff-esque tone, doesn't he? I can really hear it on this tune.
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!
darrenlamb11 yes... binge watching & he’s making me appreciate music again- he makes it look easy
First time this song has touched my soul.
Saw this giant of a gentleman a couple of weeks ago in Liverpool, UK , and had one of the best nights I've had for a long time. The man's a first class entertainer and an absolute howl. His singing was impeccable and even though Kevin Costner didn't turn up, it was a fantastic night. Thank you Puddles. 🎉
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.
Don't let the mandolin fool you, this is not a 'happy' song!
The fuck it is
Oh my God this is the best cover of Losing my Religion I've heard. I'm officially joining the pity party.
This is so raw, beautiful and heartbreaking Puddles. You didn't deserve to be voted off. I'm sure all of us here are tearing up after watching your brilliance here. Sending you much love.
ember112811 Agree.
The clarity of your voice is just astounding.
Wow... I’m speechless.. the complexity of emotion conveyed in such a simplistic way. Incredible puddles. You sir are a gem and should be protected.
Puddles, I am so sad your journey on AGT is over. However, that journey was just a small part of your life. I know you will continue to go on in life and do extraordinary things, because you never give up. You will keep singing, performing, and making everybody that hears your beautiful voice happy. I am so happy so many new people discovered you because of AGT, and now the Pity Party is even bigger! Keep singing, Puddles. We love you.
puddles u r the best!! I can listen to ur songs all day again and again, and never get bored..... talent like u shud b harnessed...not wasted in fake TV shows
I'm a fan of Puddles PITY party, the guy rocked the audition and has an incomparable voice.
I have yet to see him live, im hoping i can bring my daughter to see him with me, but the emotion in his covers is immaculate. The dancing queen cover keeps me on the verge of tears everytime. My daughter drops what shes doing to pay attention everytime she sees him on screen
This man is a freaking genius!
Please make cover of Hurt -Johnny Cash. In first i swore it was.
I did!
Thanks, listening now.
I thought the same. Please, Puddles: Hurt
And you mean cover Cash's cover of NIN's song...
He did
All of these bands thought they wrote these songs for them. Nah man, it was for Puddles all along.
I'm literally giving you a standing ovation in my living room. It's surreal how strong the energy is from just listening to this. I really needed this thank you for this therapy session ☺️☺️
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Literally found you this morning. From what I've seen you were royally screwed. You're amazing. Keep up the work, you've got a fan in England. I support you fully. Keep your head up x
OMG, I cried so MUCH. What a great song! What a great voice!
Bravo!!!
This guy is awesome first time ever i am definitely a fan for life
As always just WOW.
HO-O-OLY BAT, CRAPMAN!!!
I've known all of this music for a long time.
But when you slow it down and remove most of the background clutter and pay more attention to the words the emotions and messages become so much more clear.
And that golden baritone voice just can't be beat!
I can't wait till I get a chance to catch Big Mike in a show in the Atlanta/Chattanooga area. I'll take off from work early to take a date to his show!!!
Dude, I'm for being late, but man, you have one of the best voices i have ever heard! Congrats!
Its awesome
Well. I reckon he is a gift. Lovely voice and a real showman. Thank you.
I never thought I would like a clown. I had no idea that this art form would give access to so much emotion. Wow. I'm so incredibly grateful.
The video you played during your live show only made this even more heartbreaking. Almost more than the heart could bear. As a retired performer, I feel every note of you.
Puddles, you may not have won america's got talent, but i certainly won you from america's got talent. I am studying music education, and just watching you this summer has helped rekindle my passion for my voice performances. I can not thank you enough. I am never gonna stop watching your videos. Come to North Texas some time soon. :,)
Hi Jeremy! I'm in N. Texas too. I've contacted Bass Hall and the Majestic Theater in Dallas asking them to please book Puddles. If as many DFW fans as possible could let them know that we'd love to see Puddles, there may be a chance! The Majestic contact info: contact Michael Schwedler by email michael.schwedler@dallascityhall.com . For Bass Hall: I used their contact page: www.basshall.com/experience/contact-us/ Spread the word!
Thank you so much! Will do!
Puddles voice is one of a kind . Fabulous voice.
Your voice is so addictive. I watched you on your audition on America's Got Talent on youtube. I just had to hear more. Your voice is so rich and vibrant. As I said, totally addicted to you.
best singer ever
wow these songs really hit hard when this guy sings them. Clicked on the first one by mistake but ended up watching a few. Absolutely awesome. So much feeling in the lyrics.
Love your voice and talent! Thank you Puddles!
Puddles, why are you not on Broadway? One of the best voices in a long time. I don't care if your in a clown outfit. Beautiful 💜🧡💛💚💙♥️🤩
So different and in a dark eerie way it's rather soothing. I'm so impressed by your own unique sound and style.
I think this one is a new favorite... he says after every new video.
Maravilhoso, cara. Muito bonita essa versão desse clássico
Puts his heart and soul in every performance 😊
