I just found this audition. Ur comment was up top and i thought before he began to sing that u were reaching. This guy has an incredible voice. Unfortunately great timeless voices like that arent valued in todays music. So unfortunate. With the right songs and writers he could have been a michael bolton or something equivalent. Either way he has an incredible voice
Wow how awesome!! Did you go yet? I am just discovering him myself...on AGT and Spotify. He has one of the best voices I've ever heard...pure ear candy 😍
Just heard this BEAUTIFUL VOICE .... Hoping he has recovered from his illness 😢❤ Blessings MICHAEL 🌈, hope you achieved your DREA M!!! 😢 To HELP YOUR WONDERFUL GRAND PARENTS .... what a great job , they have done !❤ You are a HUMBLE , HANDSOME , and there is so much kindness, i see in that performance!!! GOOD LUCK MICHAEL ❤❤❤❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
He had a really good run in Vegas or something along those lines. Dont actually remember the details right now, but it went for a long time as I recall. One would hope he saved, and is either trying to produce music himself for fun or just living the good life. :)
Well, he won this season of AGT, got the $1 Million cash prize, released a few albums, and still tours across America performing music for everyone! So he did great!
The first time I saw Michael Grimm on AGT, his amazing voice hit my heart and soul - I knew he was a sure winner. This is an artist/songwriter the whole world should know and hear.
I did to you was the first and last person I ever voted for on this show I just now seen him on the Champions Joe and he looks like you've been through some really hard bad times but I think he's still got it still one of the best singers out there now
I meant that Michael Grimm possessed everything to become the star that he is today. I'm so proud of him for winning and becoming such a success! He is truly a phenomenal talent with his singing and writing. May God bless you and your beautiful sweet wife, Michael, as you both enjoy your much-deserved success!
This is pure, raw, emotion and soul - that the world is lacking right now... Loved you when I first saw this in 2010 Michael, and love ya now... That voice... 🔥🔥🔥
I remember watching this on TV back in the day. I fell for this guy ,, the audition ,, All Of It. It is now 8 years later and it still stays with me. I decided to see if it was on RUclips. And here I am again .. with the same chills and lift inside along with a little weeping. Love Wins ! and You Don t Know Me .......
I remember sitting and watching this exact episode. When Michael started singing I got goosebumps/chills all over from hearing him sing. I've gone back through the years and rewatched as many of the video's of Michael on AGT that I can from time to time. His voice is one that I will absolutely love till my dying day. I actually have in my will for one of his songs to be played at my funeral. Keep on singing Michael because God has definitely blessed you with an amazing gift. God Bless you.
Michael you are a precious individual and your grandparents raised a loving person full of compassion with a big heart. And after all of that, your voice is magnificent! I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of the Ray Charles classic. Best wishes for your most assured future in the music industry. 👍❤️😻
Love love his voice I could listen to him all day God blessed you with a gift amazingly talented and yes you took care of your grandparents how beautiful is that the blessings you deserve to win praise God
Love his music. I bought his first CD after he won AGT and enjoyed every song on it. My car was broken into and my favorite CD's were stolen, his, among them, and I am still trying to replace all of them. He has an amazing voice that reaches into your soul .
The advice Howie gave Michael to "step it up" I think was a bit misguided. There are many of us who just love beautiful music and if we wanted to see someone strutting around on stage and going through all sorts of gyrations we would go to Vegas. I attended a George Jones concert and he said right up front that he hoped we didn't come expecting a lot of smoke and mirrors and wanting him to dance around. He said, "I just sing". Guess what. That's all we wanted him to do. Same thing with Michael Grimm. His voice is good enough that he doesn't have to do a bunch of garbage with it to get people to come and see him. I guess I worded that incorrectly. They wouldn't just come to SEE him. They would come to HEAR him. I hope Michael is playing much larger venues now and is making a good living and can help his grandma. What a genuinely nice man.
He qualified his advice by saying "next time" and that he wants to see artists evolve. I understand and agree with you; I don't need showmanship when there's plenty of talent. - but maybe HM believes that some versatility would be helpful to him in his career.
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song that I have ever heard!! I've loved this song for many years, I've heard it sung many times. Michael Grimm is wonderful!!!
Here's the thing with me, if an artist can sit in front of an audience of any size with "just his guitar and a stool" as Howie stated and captivate that audience then he or she is very talented. Where is it written that a musician has to have a massive band, so many stage lights flashimg that imduces siezures in the audiance, 1000 amps and speackers, half naked dancers and so many other things that it detracts from the artists performance. If I wanted to see something like that, I'd rather go to the circus. Some of the best concerts I've ever gone to were those with just the artist, a minimal back up band and his or her instrument and their voice. Just my opinion.
Agree! One person with their guitar, sharing feelings with the world. That's what artists do! Make me feel my life! That gentleman did just so! Hurray!
Wonderful! What a voice, even if the guitar wasn't there, his voice is so good, I don't think anyone would care! Lyrical, love the vocal, guy's a star!
I would love to see him open for Chris Stapleton on tour or a Vegas show. The two of them have GOLDEN voices, raw talent and I have chills from their first note to the last.💛💛
Yeah thats why these shows never really made sense to me after only a couple seasons; and they make even less sense these days. Some of the "auditions" now on many talents shows are better then previous WINNERS on "got talent, X-factor, The Voice"
He actually won that season. Dude was a beast 💪🏼
I could listen to this guy sitting on a stool singing ALLLL day long.
Yassss!!!!
Ahem I played this song like a hundred times already
Yaaaa...till the cows come home
Yep!!
Wath a good singner
He is absolutely incredible...that emotional crying voice, dressed in jeans, good looking and extremely likeable. He's a born superstar!
"That's a superstars voice right there".
Summed it up perfectly.
Dude has a Michael Bolton sound to his voice. Very soulful
A bit of Jeff Buckley too.
Easily one of the best voices of the last 30 years.
Joey Palmer Never have figured out how he didn’t become a huge star. One of the very best to ever be on AGT.
Maybe he should have been playing a ukulele..
lol.....you bring down the iq of the entire planet
@@Harley57 maybe you should go read up about the guy....instead of trying to figure things out with your pea brain...

The person who yelled out well alright when he started set the tone for this song best song ever on agt
I grew up with Michael and his sister Lisa! His family is great. Miss those days.
One of the greatest voices of all time in America's Got Talent!
Never heard of this guy before. But I just bought tickets to a show hes performing here in Las Vegas and I am now even more excited!! He is amazing!!
Wow how awesome!! Did you go yet? I am just discovering him myself...on AGT and Spotify. He has one of the best voices I've ever heard...pure ear candy 😍
Oh yay I wondered what happened to him...Fantastic he's in Vegas👍👍😊🌻
No he’s still waiting to go 7 months later, cause people usually buy tickets like 2 years in advance for Vegas acts 🙄. Smh dork
Just heard this BEAUTIFUL VOICE
.... Hoping he has recovered from his illness 😢❤
Blessings MICHAEL 🌈, hope you achieved your DREA M!!! 😢 To HELP YOUR WONDERFUL GRAND PARENTS .... what a great job , they have done !❤
You are a HUMBLE , HANDSOME , and there is so much kindness, i see in that performance!!!
GOOD LUCK MICHAEL ❤❤❤❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
anyone watching in 2024?
I’m here
I'm here, too.
Love Michael Grimm ❤️✨
Always
I'm here too
I love his voice and his humanity. What a deep soul. Michael has talent. God bless this saintly fellow. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I knew without a doubt as soon as Michael sang this song that he was going to win the show!
Did he win the show ?
Me too!
@@leoniea138 yes
I know this guy didn’t become a big success, but I love this performance. His voice was amazing.
He had a really good run in Vegas or something along those lines. Dont actually remember the details right now, but it went for a long time as I recall. One would hope he saved, and is either trying to produce music himself for fun or just living the good life. :)
He cut two albums and plays a lot on the Mississippi coast , he is great 👍, just wish he'd made it bigger than he did. I have both of his early CD's 👍
Well, he won this season of AGT, got the $1 Million cash prize, released a few albums, and still tours across America performing music for everyone! So he did great!
@@baddriver3580 sometimes making it "bigger" is not about having a better life. Slow and easy....steady , does it well enough
I don't understand guts like this are not has big has other less talented singers
if he auditioned for American Idol the judges would fall off their chairs!!!! I don't think these judges had any idea what a gift this man has
I’m so excited to see you at The Sand Dollar next Thursday!!!!
Country Soul with a raspy twist to it ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾very handsome 🥰🥰
He is so awesome. Praying that he overcomes this illness, whatever it is. Praying for a speedy recovery and that he can get back on his tour!!
I got goose bumps as soon as he started singing. His choice in music matches his tone. Love him.
Me too….covered my body!! ❤❤❤
@@vanessalittle-sellers7981 hello Vanessa, how are you doing?
Should've been a Golden Buzzer moment!!!
Golden buzzers didn't exist in this year, but yea he truly does!
God gives the toughest battles to the strongest soldiers.
This is a certainly a golden buzzer moment, yet I'm glad it was not used this year because I got to hear more of this most beautiful melodious voice
I totally agree. I hope he gets a music deal. I just wish Simon was there as he wouldn't say something as stupids as Howie.
Indeed so
Why isn't this guy famous??
Because he's not pale n doesn't have woman face. He only have great voice n good music..
😢.....he's in hospital. Serious health problems.
@@CheryleeWilcoxwow damn
@@CheryleeWilcox ....He seems to be on the road to recovery now with a whole lot of attendant rehabilitation care.
Because Hawk Tua had to be🤮
Beautiful. Fellow Mississippian 😇
There are singular moments of artistic talent that can never be repeated. This is one of them. Well done, Michael!
Hello Karen. How are you doing?
Totally agree with you Karen; Michael was great!!👏👍🏼🤗❤
The first time I saw Michael Grimm on AGT, his amazing voice hit my heart and soul - I knew he was a sure winner. This is an artist/songwriter the whole world should know and hear.
shihtzu81 agreed
Out of curiosity. What would you say his voice sounds like ? 😅
it makes me mad they don't
I did to you was the first and last person I ever voted for on this show I just now seen him on the Champions Joe and he looks like you've been through some really hard bad times but I think he's still got it still one of the best singers out there now
Same here
This guy should have a recording contract.
Brought tears instantly to my eyes when I heard the first note👩🏻
still after his audition i still come back to listen to his music, this one so got away, i could listen to his voice forever!
He's amazing!!...I have so many of his songs on my spotify
He's an amazing man and he possesses EVERYTHING needed to become a huge star!!
I meant that Michael Grimm possessed everything to become the star that he is today. I'm so proud of him for winning and becoming such a success! He is truly a phenomenal talent with his singing and writing. May God bless you and your beautiful sweet wife, Michael, as you both enjoy your much-deserved success!
Wishing you a speedy recovery from ails you, Michael!!!
Ray Charles was an American treasure. Michael Grimm is the guy to keep the legacy of a musical great alive in a younger generation.
Get well soon Michael ❤ This audition stuck in my mind all these years. You are just awesome i hope the Lord blesses you richly🙏
The best singer they ever had
Still get goosebumps when he starts singing
Goosebumps, yeah!!!
I'll give your gran some money your beautiful
O yes. U have my vote Michael.
Michael Grimm should never stop singing. 💝
This is pure, raw, emotion and soul - that the world is lacking right now... Loved you when I first saw this in 2010 Michael, and love ya now... That voice... 🔥🔥🔥
Very rarely does someone do a cover better than the original but I blown away by the fact that he really has done a rarely done job!!!!
I remember watching this on TV back in the day. I fell for this guy ,, the audition ,, All Of It.
It is now 8 years later and it still stays with me. I decided to see if it was on RUclips. And here I am again .. with the same chills and lift inside along with a little weeping. Love Wins !
and You Don t Know Me .......
Me too ❤
Love you and you're voice Michael. You are a phenomenon, so smooth!
FROM ONE MICHAEL TO ANOTHER MICHAEL, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GRAND PARENTS, STAY SAFE ,WELL AND HAPPY, UK.
I think that the great Ray Charles would be giving that performance a tick of approval. Fantastic! Victor from Australia.
You truly did that song justice Michael!
I remember sitting and watching this exact episode. When Michael started singing I got goosebumps/chills all over from hearing him sing.

I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of the Ray Charles classic. Best wishes for your most assured future in the music industry. 👍❤️😻
I knew he was going to win the first time I heard him sing.
I need this guy and a bar. He sings the best version of it!
Absolutely love his voice, Michael don't stop singing, you've got plenty of fans
I watched this season and from the first time you sang I said you will be in the final
Love love his voice I could listen to him all day God blessed you with a gift amazingly talented and yes you took care of your grandparents how beautiful is that the blessings you deserve to win praise God
Love his music. I bought his first CD after he won AGT and enjoyed every song on it. My car was broken into and my favorite CD's were stolen, his, among them, and I am still trying to replace all of them. He has an amazing voice that reaches into your soul .
sending love,No legacy is so rich as honesty,did you watch this at live?
I hope you have replaced all your cd's.
I just love the 'Wow! Gee, guys. Thanks!' response to the crowd reaction. Like he really wasn't expecting to resonate that much..
Michael , my thoughts are with you today. I pray for a speedy recovery for you .
Gawd I remember watching him audition. Blew my freaking mind 🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Jeez this guy can really sing. Always have an emotional response to this audition.
He looks like he's aged 20 years in 5. Such a beautiful soul with a voice like no other. I hope he takes care.
It was 10 tho
@@THEROTTINGDOG oh ok i understand now
I thought it was a mistake they made saying 5 years
Unique voice very talented and has good looks,he’s got it all to be a star and should be the next America’s got talent!!!
Great delivery, makes you believe he’s living the song.
Some people can,and shouldn't..Michael Grimm should..Still resonates!
Unfortunately, Mr. Grimm is not well and in hospital. Be well, friend.
😢
I just saw him perform in Vegas today & he’s doing great!
I love this handsome young man, and his love for his grandma! Such a beautiful voice.
Gorgeous ❤️
That's such a beautiful song...and old. Awesome rendition of it.
Best performence in a talent show world wide!
I loved Michael then and still do.
What a voice! Amazing talent, I could listen to him all day too, he should be signed to a record deal immediately . Well done Michael.
I was watching that night, and it was clear that he was a winner! I love this version of the Ray Charles hit.
With that gift you will never be poor , Michael .
Just come across this guy OMG I loved him
Love you Michael! I have watched this audition at least 100 times. You’re a very special person and a very special talent. Thank you.
My man and I are a big fan of Michael's. ❤❤❤love love love his voice. God bless you!

I AGREE. PS: Did you get to see that he was on America's Got Talent Jan 2020?
Exactly, that's where they lose a lot of good artists.
Howie is just a freak and knows nothing about music.
He could sit on a stool and sing all day long and I would listen. He is so talented.
He qualified his advice by saying "next time" and that he wants to see artists evolve. I understand and agree with you; I don't need showmanship when there's plenty of talent. - but maybe HM believes that some versatility would be helpful to him in his career.
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song that I have ever heard!! I've loved this song for many years, I've heard it sung many times. Michael Grimm is wonderful!!!
Oh my goodness. What a talent..an upcoming star..and his voice..A gift of The Father! So humble! And giving!! 💫🙏🦁

Said perfectly
John Mayer is one of them that sits with on a stool with a guitar and captures the whole entire audience
You speak of John Moreland just his guitar and his lyrics hit ya
Agree! One person with their guitar, sharing feelings with the world. That's what artists do! Make me feel my life! That gentleman did just so! Hurray!
He's Very Good.. 🤗
❤️💯❤️
👋👋👋👋👋👋
This dude is the TRUTH!
Here's to a speedy recovery. I know your voice will come back better than ever.
Wonderful! What a voice, even if the guitar wasn't there, his voice is so good, I don't think anyone would care! Lyrical, love the vocal, guy's a star!
Totally agree.
That is called Gratitude - maybe there is hope for this younger generation after all.
It’s very sweet of him to say how much he wants to help his grandmother or grandparents and it just says how much he truly cares.
I fell in love with this man when I seen this!
I would love to see him open for Chris Stapleton on tour or a Vegas show. The two of them have GOLDEN voices, raw talent and I have chills from their first note to the last.💛💛
This man is my inspiration to continue with my music 🙏
Love, this guy!
I've been listening to him since he won. He has been so underrated since his win but you can't deny awesome.
awesome - the guy is right inside the middle of the emotions that his song activates
He is my favorite. I love his voice.
That was beautiful from his first note. A gorgeous young man as well as a beautiful heart ❤
I Absolutely loved this audition, this song and his voice!! ❤
EXCELLENT VOICE and he's CUTE TOO!!
I get to work as this guys Sound Tech every Tuesday.. still sounds unbelievable
One of my favorite singers! ❤️
Still come back to this song every time I look up emotional vids on RUclips. Still love it to this day
Have always loved this song ... I'm a big Ray Charles fan ... Great Job Mr. Grimm ... Sing it Youngman!!!
That voice melted my heart ❤️
that was perfectly worded. mine, too.😊
Dude comes out with the best voice we've ever heard on the show and Howie wants him to "step it up".
Tf does he want him to do? Jumping jacks?
Yeah thats why these shows never really made sense to me after only a couple seasons; and they make even less sense these days. Some of the "auditions" now on many talents shows are better then previous WINNERS on "got talent, X-factor, The Voice"
Agree…loved his first audition the best without all the hooplah Hollywood crap.
Yeah, Howie has to be annoyingly politically correct and pretend it needed to be better.
Goosebumps still troubling me even this day! You are amazing MG
awesome all the way!!! so glad Mr Grimm went on to win it because he truly deserves it!!! that dudes got pipes!!!
A special moment /performance in time. He nailed it!
Great rendition of one of my all time favorite songs.
He is such a humble guy.
Michael do your thang
Wow!!!!!! Blessed
Total Springsteen Vibe! Awesome!
