It was so happy to see his face like that and beautiful expressions that video makes me happy God is good.🤗
I love that video it makes me more than better❤️
Omg I thought the same thing .. the words gosh the words man.. 😢😢
The fact that the audience wasn’t here..almost made the poem even better. Just pure silence and pure heart. The golden buzzer may not have been as exhilarating without the crowd, but finally, it’s something unique and it’s something different. Variety instead of singers all the time.
Hopefully this will inspire more poetic people to join AGT.
Agreed.
It's a guy who talks. How is talking a phenomenal act.
Amen to that. I'm a poet and spoken word is an awesome expressions that goes far beyond the Friday night Spoken Word bar. It's an art and a talent at the same time. Glad to see expressed on such a public forum.
@@jktrumpet316 it’s poetry 💀 💀 it didnt have to rhyme but it is. And it was so touching too.
Brandon. You put together the words that countless people have tried to utter for ages. Thank you.
Fariss, very insightful!!!
I liked his poem a lot but poetry about love and loss has literally been written about for thousands of years. Lol
Beautiful said and so true
and he won...
"I'll trade my six feet for yours" hit hard. As a poet we do sit down and just think of profound thoughts. Amazing.
From the moment he started to recite his poem, it stared to hit home to me. Please bless this man with the best future possible! Hopefully he is in a better place now, right after winning agt!
As a poet myself, hearing him proudly call it an ode and not an elegy is what tugged at my heart because it means that while it is about missing her, he’s celebrating her existence.
An elegy is a poem about grief for one’s death and is where the term eulogy comes from. However, an ode is a poem of praise and thankfulness for an object or event.
I really hope that one day that I will be a poet when I finish my years in high school.
but truly this isn't poetry it's a journal entry in cadence
Being a man of words myself, poet if you like, this struck me in the heart. Be thankfull, always!
@@avuso8660 there’s no such thing as true poetry
@@calitiny4608 Start now! 😇
I could feel his pain in every word. The emotional connection was powerful.
This caught me off guard. Everything he says is true.
I lost my mom 3 months ago, the hurt is so deep to explain.
He deserved that golden buzzer.
He talked and now he won. You have not went into a conversation ever.
I hope you feel better. You are loved.
Hoping you're doing ok. Know your Mom is with you ALWAYS!!!
he deserved a golden buzzzer....and he won
I'm so sorry. I lost mine 5 years ago as a 13 year old. Yes the hurt is too deep to explain
“But if this pain and these memories are all I’ve left of you, I won’t never regret these scars from just trying to hold onto you.” Hits everyone who has ever lost someone they love. Tears ♥️
Captures the breathless emotional pain from loosing someone so dear to ones self.
I feel this!
When the pain and memories of someone lost is all you have, you`d take any scar just to hold on. Just to imagine that person still being here, still being near.
* This is from my experience*
" Holding your hand while your scream, cry...
I had to let go, left you to die.
In the blaze of the fire, you went higher...
I feel lost,
at any cost,
Id have you back if I could change time.
I`ll be there for you, as you used to be, for me.... "
A man from my city, I’ve seen him speak for my class, being in the same room as him as he speaks, you can barely breath because all the emotions that come from his poem and it’s one of the most memorable moments to feel
What a wonderful opportunity to hear him. I was captivated by his prose.
Did anyone gasp or lost your breath when he said I'd trade your 6 feet for mine. I lost my lil sis and I know the feeling. It's too hot out to cry. Lol
it’s been 2 years.. yet i still get goosebumps every time i hear it
I get those goosebumps every time yeah
When my husband was 14 he lost his 15 year old sister and his 7 day old niece in a car accident, and everyday it still tears him up!! When he heard your poetry it moved him to tears, I could feel his pain 💔 He felt your pain. Such amazing words of expression! May they all Rest In Peace!
omg 7 day old😢
I'm sorry for you and your husband's losses. May they rest in peace.
Sheesh 😶 rip to his sis and niece
🙏🏼💪🏼
Sorry for your loss
My older brother died at the age of 14 from asthma in 1989 and it still hurts now.
Condolences for you and your family.
praying for u and your family
He is in a better place and my condolences for you and your family
sorry to hear that... may he rest in peace
Sending you prayers of healing and love

They need love in their lives
His emotion and vulnerability are amazing
That's one of the most emotional poem I've ever heard in my life ...had me in tears... Thank you for this 😇😇
Wow... the audiences absence just added to it. The silence the emptiness just him and the stage and the lights and his sister ... beautiful. Wow breathtaking. God bless😢💫💕
He is agreat young men he makes me cry the way he present it.
At last someone who deserves the golden buzzer gets the golden buzzer.
At agt
2020
I’m so glad to see a poet on that stage especially getting the golden buzzer! Poetry is beautiful and needs more attention cause it’s basically music with no beat. I love it well deserved ! 💗
I’m with Simon…. I don’t understand poetry, though I know there are different forms. This makes me want to get into it. But this guy was correct in saying that he would be a great ‘beginners course’ for it. Lol very impactful, and I loved Simon’s response.
Amen. Poetry is so much more than most assume. He deffintely deserved it.
Can you imagine the kids he teaches reaction and how inspired and proud they must be for this to happen for him. AMAZING💯
They were probably so proud. I am from Stockton and one of my high school teachers was friends with him so my teacher got him to visit our class and present some of his poems. This was 2-3 years before americas got talent. I remember he asked all of us to subscribe to his UA-cam because he was really close to hitting 100 subscribers. It’s crazy how far he came and even I am proud of him although I only met him once
@@civilwarguy4740 Thats crazy, nice💯
This touch me so deep... his words are what my heart wants to say after losing my precious son after only 3 months. Your words are power Brandon. Congratulations
This was the most beautiful and sad poem I've ever heard. . . I almost start crying every time I watch this
I felt like I stopped breathing and then I burst into tears....how beautiful!!!
Brandon had me in tears of sorrow, tears of joy, tears of love... Howie also moved me deeply for acknowledging the special man Brandon is and foretelling of his own special talent to stir that spirit that dwells in the mind and heart of human beings ❤❤❤❤❤❤
A really emotional performance. He put his heart and soul into it and thoroughly deserved the Golden Buzzer. His little sister will be very proud of him.
One word to describe his poem= is BEAUTIFUL!
Can't stop watching his performances day to day
Also to hear Simon saying: "I shouldn't be judging it", is actually pretty amazing in it's own right. He acknowledges that he isn't capable of judging this kind of performance, because it's beyond his expertise, but he can still acknowledge the power and impact of it, even without the expertise in the field of poetry.
Brandon is probably my top3 performers of all time on this show, because he can convey such beauty through words. Which I feel is a insanely underappreciated talent nowadays
This guy currently teaches a small class at my school where teachers put the school's best writers, including me. This guy has really uplifted me and made me confident in my writing.
I can feel every emotion in that poem of his, the pain, the love and the saddest.
My friend was just telling me about this guy, she didn't remember his name so I had to check him out for myself. His whole spoken-word moved me to tears. Such a beautiful tribute. Never take love granted, it's the most beautiful thing one can ever experience.
I lost my brother and my cousin just two weeks ago. I know the pain he is feeling. That he speaks only from raw emotions makes his poem amazing. RIP Robby and Joey. Love forever.
I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless!
The fact that the story he wanted to tell was the central part of his performance to move hearts, instead of an attempt at receiving sympathy points makes this act so different in comparison to others I've seen. Truly a deserved golden buzzer.
Awwww! Howie Mendel always you always know what to say!
I don't care how many times I watch Brandon recite this heart felt spoken word specifically for his sister... I always cry
Howie: Is she backstage?
Brandon: Kind of
Brandon "March 23rd, 1997 I've been ground-bound because she left earth to go back home"
That hits different
Golden Buzzer to my guy Brandon!! So powerful with that spoken word man I am beyond proud and humbled by your words of love and pain and compassion!!! Great job bro :)
All I could do is weep as I heard this beautiful poem recited by this young.I know his pain and loss all too well because I recently lost a loved one to this dreadful pandemic.
As a poet, I thank you for helping bring poetry for many people who don't realize the power and value of poetry.
This is one performance that has made me cry every single time Ive watched it
Staring at the grave like, "How about I trade my six feet for yours, but that's not real..."
He has me crying this poem is so beautiful and pure like I know how he felt thats how I felt when I lost my mom
Unexpected tears. Phenomenal piece. 🖤
I love this so much. So, so much. found my love of poetry, just this year (I couldn't have done that without an amazing, yet unique sophomore year English teacher) and to see it be performed and shared so perfectly is great. I actually really like that the audience is not there because I love how that adds to the emotional range and vulnerability, that was shared from Brandon and the judges. The silence in the room when he was performing and the heart that came out of it. The cheering from the crowd might not have been there, but I think that everyone who will see this will be cheering for him. I am so glad that Howie pushed his buzzer and I am so excited to see that he made AGT history with his power of words. That is all it takes, just power of words!! This is amazing and fantastic. So happy for him!!!
I lost my big sister to an OD just two days before Christmas in 2022. I still can’t believe that I have to live life without her. Just 28 years old. The most outgoing person you would ever meet. 12/23/22 that morning she told me she was going to take a nap.. but next thing I know I tried waking her up and her face was purple. After calling 911 they tried helping her so they took her to the hospital. I waited in the waiting room for her. Hoping she was alive just to tell her never to do it again. But the doctor came in and told me “I’m sorry but she didn’t make it “. I think my heart stopped for a little. I miss her so very much
Wow that’s so sad, I really hope you and your family are doing ok. 11 years ago, I was on a silly trip, my mother was sick but her life wasn’t in danger. The day I came back I rushed to the hospital, and she died a few minutes later in front of my eyes. To this day it still haunts me that I wasn’t by her side while she was suffering so much, and it pains me even more to think that she suffered more than necessary because she was waiting for her son to come back, to say goodbye.
I usually don’t share personal stuff here but since you had no replies to your message, that’s my way to express support.
You’ll never forget her but you’ll get better, be brave.
I feel this in my soul. I feel this in my life. I feel this. I lost my daughter and I know exactly all of these feelings. I wish so much I could trade my feet for hers.
He made millions tear up at home.
I don't cry alot, ever, and even less so do I comment about crying, but this just hit home too hard and I'm not hyperbolysing the fact that there are tears streaming down my face as I listen to this beauty of spoken word
Would anyone believe me if I said I had Brandon Leake as my history teacher? He would give us sample poems in class here and there, such a chill guy and I’m glad he moved on from being a high school teacher to being even more successful.
Hahaaaa! Happened to be in this space looking for the Author of that song in the background and found you comment that is one day old. Very lucky to have been taught by such a mover of emotions
Representing Stockton 🤩🙌
Wow.. I watched this 10 times. My two sisters & I suddenly lost our sister Robin last year. I thought there were no words to describe my feelings of loss, but joy to have loved her. I thank you so much, young man for sharing your amazing, unique, & heartfelt talent with the world, & me. God bless you my dear
It's amazing how just words an emotions get to you like a haymaker. Ihe quote "I wish I could trade my 6 feet for yours, but that's not real" stirs something inside that is so raw. Loved it.
Joh Bru, this performance was so moving.
I felt you.
I miss my sister so much & you gave words to my pain.
♡
As someone who has lost many this poem touched my heart I melted into tears thinking of who I have lost 💔
What an amazing poem performed by a great poet.That was really amazing
You are so incredibly talented! You deserve the golden buzzer!
Never understood non a-b rhyming poetry. Always like it more when it rhymes. With that said, it still flowed and dudes guts and emotion deserved a GB. Props
It's free verse. Many spoken word artists use this form.
@@cassandraisfree2943 yes I get it. And nothing against it per say. I just enjoy rhyming better. But again, it didn't prevent me from enjoying his performance and he still deserved the GB
Yeah he's amazing!
Dylan Clarke it’s in the alliteration, rhythm and pauses
I agree to a point, this doesn't work written on paper being read by other people, it only works when he is the one saying it. Wow! does it work when he is reciting it.
This was a really good audition, he definitely deserved he gold buzzer
The pain of LOSS is in the depth of LOVE... i could feel every raw emotion i felt as my dad went cold in my arms 6 years ago.
Soo happy for this young man! I'm glad that he put poetry on the map for a larger audience! Bravo!
His poem was great!! But when Sofia starting crying and talking about her brother😭 Rip Brandon’s sister and Sofia’s brother.
We’ll deserved. We can all relate as we have all love and lost. Great job sir’
"Love is those most vulnerable thing one will ever had, and you must learn to hold onto it loosely, so when it leaves it doesn't exit so painfully." I felt that. 😢
Thats like my history... the biggest regret of my life that I God didn't give me that chance to bring back my Elder sister, bcaz I lost her when I was 5years of age... after listen that Poetry... I didn't understand how I control... all thats story again recaps on my mind, its broke me into tears... Hope his sister bless him all the success... Best Of luck dude.👍🙏
I love this I lost my only child in 2020 of May he was 23 born in 1997 of March and I don’t know how to deal with it I miss him so much he is my everything and it hurts so badly even me trying to put a smile on my face hurts I cry every day almost all day I can barely sleep eat even drink. I’m in tears now and it feels like it just happened. I even asked God if he hated me because of this. The one person man who I know loves me for me is not here. My son has no justice he treated as if he’s just another body and he is not he is Jacoby Eugene Malik Jackson and I will not stop until my baby boy gets justice
Will forever remember this man coming to my school for an assembly
This brought me to tears. It's so sad but powerful. You can feel all his emotions
From a kid who loss his sister and not seeing his dad to winning AGT with just spoken words that all people feel in their life of loss, being judge, and being different.
This is want the world need now. We can all hate and love at someone or something. but we need to forgive and remember what made us be like this in 2020.
Idk when this was recorded. but holy fuxk man! i have never met a soul on the planet that can speak and pull that much emotion out of me. Definitely the first for me. Saw this on Tiktok and HAD to see the full audition. Keep it up bro, never let anyone stop you from your poetry.
I cried so much I’ve never cried watching agt before in front of my dad this is my favorite act ever
This sheds tears everyday. I just buried my first love few weeks ago and this hits really hard. 😢
When I heard this poem, it made me very emotional just listening to it.. I lost my grandmother in 2015, it still hurts not having her here.. He deserved the golden buzzer.. It came right from his heart and over came by his emotions..
Brandon saved me from myself. I’m writing poetry again. Thank you.
I feel u bro.
My little brother passed too 2 yrs ago.
Almost.. tomorrow marks 2yrs. I needed to hear this
I lost my sister way too early and I felt every word and every emotion of this. What a gift he has ❤
that was beautiful moved me to tears
I so hope he wins! That was beauty in simplicity, no music, no crowds, just his words spoken from his heart💔
Probably the best GOLDEN BUZZER of the year!!
Correction: WORST GOLDEN BUZZER EVER IN AGT. How did this win??? He just talks. TALKS!!!!!
@@jktrumpet316 and u just Criticise...
Definitely made me cry. Loved this! I have a little brother, well he's not so little anymore lol almost 29 and im almost 32. I can't imagine having to grow up without him, or losing him, and not being able to have all of our memories. This definitely made me feel the emotion.
Ty Howie art comes in more form's them just singing dancing and magic acts. I've heard all judge's tell singers to tell a story.this man told a story everybody can relate to. He deserved the golden buzzer.
This totally inspired me. I write poetry too. The pain he expresses of losing his sister is so raw. It remind me of when I lost my cousin. Poetry is such a love for me. I write when I’m sad and I write when I’m happy. And it’s taking those raw emotions and writing them down that is so magical. I didn’t have a favorite for this year yet, but as of now, he’s my favorite. I hope, no matter how far he goes in this competition, that he releases some spoken word album. His poetry is beautiful.
This hit me so hard. Its such an odd feeling to have your emotions expressed by another person. makes the hate in this world feel so small when someone can do so much good with such little
We feel your pain, we feel your love and we appreciate your beauty. Love is beautiful and there is no love stronger than that of a brother and sister. Your sister is with you ALWAYS!!!
This poem is so beautiful I started crying
It was Absolutely an a cappella of poetry
I know exectly how i feels I lost a great uncle 3 years ago and I still can't get over it. So this was really emotional for me. It was something I needed to hear.
Pheonumal very emotional the poam was outstanding.. and heart touching and very... Warm to the mind body and soul. God Bless You young man Amen you won the gold award to go live.. im so proud of you and so happy for you💯 you earned it....
Absolutely beautiful; I lost my eldest son five years ago so I feel your pain and appreciate your talent!❤️🙏
“Hold on to live loosely so when it leaves it won’t exit so painfully.” I felt that...
this made me cry so much especially when he said “when you love someone so dearly you can’t imagine life without them” all i could think about were my sisters and the thought of losing them or let alone them leaving for college breaks my heart and leaves me sobbing. i can not explain the pain i feel for this man may his sister rest in peace. and he is truly the best poet i have ever heard
I'm just a young poet trying to turn the scars of my past into the art of my future. You've taken our small, bright community and put it on a stage. We are artists, and we have so much to share, and I will never not be grateful for the landmark steps you have taken for us. Your sister is immortal in this moment, your words are her monument. We are so proud of you.
I can't stop crying. I literally wrote a piece about my mom today. I lost her in 2007, when i was 12 years old. She died of cancer and I never said goodbye because I was too young to understand, is what everyone said. I feel her every day. She visits me in the form of a butterfly. I enjoy my life now because of her memories. I want her to teach me how to fly around the universe one day. I love you mom, ❤️
"Manufacture wings out of tears and broken dreams" beautiful
Poetry is everything! So proud of u
I can't stop crying. You describe the pain of losing and hurting 💔
One thing I love about poetry is that it’s so natural for everyone that we don’t even realize it. Each of the judges reactions were poetic, especially Howies. Howies was actually very meta-poetic (poetry about poetry) and he hit the nail on the head. What he described about the performance is exactly was poetry is
Every time I see this video the tears roll down my face.. I can feel the words the emotions that go into this poem. To loose someone unexpectedly is the worse. No time for goodbyes nothing. And it's true what would I do to trade me six feet for yours.. I miss you my friend 💔
This brought me to tears....my family is dealing with something so hard at the moment and this hit really hard.
His poem is very strong...brings me back to the memory of my late brother, mom, girl, sister, mom in law...n anyone matters. Tkuuu brandon... Will try to hold on while living... Pain is indeed beautiful when put into a moving beautiful poem....bravooo
I’m pleased to see Howie say the potential for an art form not recognized in the talent arena. This young man speaks a truth we can all relate to. From his heart to the heart of the World.
