- Newly crowned “America’s Got Talent” winner Brandon Leake chatted with Ellen about what winning the $1-million prize means to him, how he first got started in spoken word, and how writing personal pieces has become cathartic and a way of healing for him. Then, Brandon took the stage to debut a moving poem dedicated to Breonna Taylor.

having him as a teacher in my school is a huge benefit hes the best
LUCKY!!!!!!!
there’s
im so jealous. i would love to have him as a teacher
Lucky
for not being afraid or ashamed to mention Jesus on those platforms means a lot to the Christian family. I'm so proud of you
Your right. Standing tall for the kingdom of Christ
Amen
Amen🙌🏻
Sadly, for far too many, Christianity is a heavy financial and time consuming burden, when Communities are crumbling, CHILDREN and SENIORS are being HORRIBLY neglected and far too many churches are flourishing as well as condoning/allowing various heinous crimes.. Not Christ like at all... But his spoken word talent is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and worthy of awards!!! Congratulations 🎊💖💯🎯
@@dianeboyd9078 you are soo right! Most of those individuals that are doing those horrible things aren’t Christian’s. They don’t believe and cause harm to others. If we all believed and lived right crime would drastically decrease. God bless us all
This young man is the new Maya Angelou! So powerful with words! I liked him from the very beginning of Agt. I honestly didn’t think he would win. I am so happy he did! This world needs him. Congratulations
So true i said so too
He is SO deserving! Very happy for him!
I love too hear him speak w his own word's. He has a soothing aura about him peace
I love this guy to the moon and back, he is sooo gifted. Brandon your way with words is something else. Thank you Agt🙏 for recognizing such a great talent. Love you
Agreed!!! I also Thank you for sharing your talent & the horrific tragedy of a young lady who lives, lived near me," Brianna Taylor"!! May she rest in peace! Thank you for sharing your unique talent with us! Thank you Ellen DeGeneres!!!!!
Thank you Brandon Leake for your words of Wisdom. May God continue to bless and keep you in His loving care. Stay safe and healthy ☮️ and Love to you and your family.
I’m so glad he won he is amazing
I wish all artists used their platform to spread words like this that America definitely needs to hear. Brandon did such a good job of that in his performances. America needs as much help as it can get to end these racial injustices. You deserved better Breonna Taylor. We will keep fighting. ✊🏾❤️.
Be proud of your achievements and grateful for your mistakes
Both have made you a better person
"Given Back to Stockton"
Amen to that. I mean we have a tough times on our own to our city. So massive props to him.
Stockton for the living. Bless all. ❤️
i like his writing and personality
That was an amazing performance! And just the beginning of Brandon‘s journey💞
That guy is the best and I am glad he won AGT, let God continue to lift you in his spirit
Inspiring and from the heart. Please come and tour Australia when travel is allowed. Praise God for AGT showcasing you to the world.
I LOVE YOU BRANDON. YOUR POETRY IS AMAZING. I LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. GO STOCKTON,CA.. I WISH ALL THE BEST. 🙏🙏💖💕❤️💓☺️😷✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I like how he's real about everything and society and doesn't let negative effects bring him down he's so cool and natural
Wow....I'm so amazed to see a poet won America's got talent....that's great!In the present scenario of the world poets have much to say.I loved what you said...your poetry speaks volumes...sending huge appreciation to you..a fellow poet from India.And also another thing!Hi Ellen!Love your shows!
It’s nice seeing other poets on the comments and the video! I’m a poet too. Do you share your poems or are they more for yourself?
@@bellag1913 I love to share them.
Absolutely correct. It was poets such as Shakespeare and Mark Twain that spoke on current events and life in general that told of historical events while experiencing them. Edgar Allen, Walt Whitman and even Dylan Thomas were vital to historical storytelling. It is an art form that has failed to receive acalades
@@Marynoelrh That's very interesting
...what you said.Are you a poet too?Poets of the world....let's unite and share our emotions and observations through our poems.
He won by spewing blm garbage.
That young man is sooo powerful !!!
Dear Person That's Reading This You May Be Goin Through Something But God Got U He Didn’t Bring You This Far To Quit.We Don’t Know Each Other But I Wish U All The Best In Life 2020 And Beyond.🇧🇸❤️

He speaks like he’s delivering a spoken word
he is... LOL he’s a spoken word poet 🤦🏻♀️
Payton Weems-West I was referring in “conversation” and not his presentation
That is his gift and he walks in it! I have seen him in other interviews and he always has a rhythmic flow!
@@paytonweems-west7351 I agree w u
@@erinfloodx6446me 2
words have power!He is so honest and we all love it!
Thank you Ellen. Great show. I love that a poet won AGT
Hopefully, he paves the way for other poets.
God bless your brother Brandon! Good tribute!
He moves me to tears every single time, and this one was no different! GOD BLESS!!
So powerful.
He is amazing. I use to write poetry years ago but l was never as good as he is.
Love the personality
What a gift! Really poignant, incredibly well-written, and beautifully-delivered.
Very moving and beatifully perfomed....I cried.. it seems to me Ellen did too.
I love you Ellen💙💙! You and your show are awesome. I absolutely love your trip to CVS with Mrs Obama. I mean Shelly. You make me happy!💙
This was so sweet for him to do🥰
It's so good to see Poets WIN. Many people tend to not understand Poetry and it can sometimes seem like a dying art form. As a poet, I am very PROUD. CONGRATULATIONS LEAKE!!❤❤
This is a great piece!
Can hardly see the letters through my tears and you're right, God did give you this gift however you're the one who has applied it. God bless🙏
RIP Breonna Taylor my sister citizen

He is a beautiful human! The fact he shows vulnerability is powerful, especially as a man.
Love Ellen
His words are powerful!
He's such a loving soul....what a gift to us all ❤️
Even in an interview of this nature, Brandon sounds poetic
If this didn’t at least make your eyes water and your heart hurt, then you , well we all know who you are and what side of the line you stand on! Thank you for this powerful message!
If that’s the one thing you still think after hearing his beautiful message you didn’t truly listen
Spoken Word finally got a platform
Please continue. Please move Breonna and George, and Eric and justice forward. Please.
I love this !
I am a composer
His poetry moved me do bigger things
His poetry touched my heart

Beautiful....
I love this.......... just wow
I knew he would win
Happy for you too!

The G.O.A.T!!!!!
Silly African Wiles Shin Lim will forever be the AGT GOAT
imagine this guy is your teacher in school,that will be so peacefull and awesome,just imagine that
What a shining light.
Powerful words!
I love writing poetry like him. He’s very inspiring and I hope one day my poems can have the same impact. I am sharing them but it’s not at his level so I don’t think it has the same impact.
Hehe for those who want to know I write my poetry on wattpad 😉😗
I write poetry too, but in a different place. What's ur @ on Wattpad if you're ok with sharing it :).
Maybe your poetry doesn't have the same impact for now! So remember what he said, he was turned away the first time & needed to mature & grow. ✔ Didn't happen overnight. Your fine as long as you keep at it! 🙃
I hope so tooo dear

Grit is the number one indication of success. Good for you Brandon!
Beautiful ❤️
Just great , man
My Guy👑Well Done
Very powerful poem
He should write a book so i could buy it
Your so good Man
Blessed bruh ..
This is powerful
I still love you Ellen
I also have poetry that's called integration of shadows and that's under my belt.
Thank you Brandon! For show casing Jesus to the world.
where BET give this boy a show dammmmmm
WoW 💪🏿💪🏿
👏👏👏
Guys she’s deleting mean comments oh boy Ellen notice me
Imagine if Ellen replied
wow.
POP OFF MR. B (you subbed my class at ABLE charter
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wait, we can make comments now? I thought that was blocked
She turns comments on only for celebrities. When regular people who appear on her show, she turns off comments. Kind of makes sense, since the general public seem to have alot of bullies. Celebs don't read these comments. But if one of us appeared on the show, of course we would read them..
@@MsBebegurl0212 Ohhhhh, that actually makes a lot of sense
But this guy is not a celebrity
@@boy-re8ii Compared to you, he is. Heads and shoulders. Way miles
Nice show BTW
I kneel
