@@Brandon_Leake_CTM omG you are amazing! The Lord has truly blessed you with a gift and mind with wisdom to know how to go the trials you've gone through, and still take control of your own life with standards and flourish and spread positivity to others. I didn't grow up with my father and have a stepdad who was mentally/emotionally abusive, and I was a TA for years pushing to inspire children and equip them to be successful. You are an inspiration. Good luck with AGT!
He’s an incredible storyteller and once again, he showed why he is Howie Mandel’s golden buzzer and he might be my favorite act to win this show! I absolutely love it!
@@jonathanhsu1281 Wow, great performance..... talented 👏👌 please kindly view and subscribe to my youtube channel; ruclips.net/video/HRP7tnRLJTc/видео.html
This is not just a performance of reciting poetry, but dramatic theatre at its best! Obviously may not be best for a Las Vegas show. However, he could easily assemble a one man show for Broadway and win awards for drama such as the Pulitizer Prize!
I respectfully disagree with your opinion of his performance being a Vegas act. After his performance last week I told my girlfriend that his show could be set up like church. Where he comes out says a poem or 2 and then a gospel group comes behind him and plays a song. For instance with this piece imagine when he finishes his final word, and steps into the darkness and then Resound does a gospel rendition of Cats In the Cradle. I could absolutely see myself in Vegas watching that.
Beside everything, the greatness of this act is that Brandon’s tone and persona in each letter represents his age. In almost four minutes, his did five different tones and personae reflected by his age and mood. Wow. Brandon Leake, you are a winner to be. Well done.
I've seen countless nights of poetry slams. His style is really understated, and I dig that. He's keeping it simple because he knows his aidience. Smart move! Talented guy. I hope acting is in his future. His expressions have so much depth.
Thanks for concluding that we don't have a heart because we are not attracted to a grown man complaining about his absentee father. Grow a sack, society
"I wanted to move on but I couldn't turn the page. Or I didn't want to. Because somehow being angry with you, still made me feel close to you." Wow. I know that hit most everyone right in their hearts. Incredible work. Incredible medicine. I sincerely hope he wins. The world needs more healers like him to be recognized for what they do.
This young man is visionary....touching people's souls without flash, movement, or fancy special effects. I always look forward to hearing what he has to say next because it touches my heart and soul, and his words are always what everyone needs to hear. Absolutely amazing entertainer...
I hope so...as a 72 white grandmother I feel like he is speaking to EVERYONE in this crazy and scary world. We need more young people like him...Keep spreading your wonderfully poignant words.
This made me cry........sounds like you have all your priorities in the right places and the final one was forgiving Tyron, your dad. Its never to late to build relationships. This was so profound and makes us all realize the importance of every son having a father. I wish you all the best on AGT, you were awesome.
I totally agree with you, "It's never to late to build relationships" A father's role in one"s life is very critical. I need my dad and hope one day I will be able to hug him. He lives in the United States of America and I am living in Trinidad 🇹🇹 but my birth was in Tobago. I am elated Brandon won. He deserves it. It was truly his time to shine. What a God given talent. He touched so many lives.
This is the 3rd time watching him, and tear up all the time.. I dont even watch the whole show anymore, I just FF toward Brandon and Archie thats all I want to see
I love this guy. He is brilliant. This one , though,really hit home for me since I also had a father that left, unfortunately we never really reconciled. This was so powerful
Never was into poetry, but the way he speaks really inspires me and heals me in a way. He deserves the golden buzzer from Howie and he 100% deserves to win.
Brandon, Brandon, Brandon once again you've touched my soul. I'm loving your mother for raising such a beautiful, powerful, unselfish MAN...your words so profound, so prolific, so prouplifting, I thank you b/c it all resignate with the 7 year old little girl whose dad left his princess behind never to look back. Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher and now the world. Again, can't wait to attend one of your shows...Go get em'... RESPECT & BLESSINGS
I can relate to this on so many levels. I feel like I live and walk with a permanent broken heart because my father doesn't acknowledge me. I stay angry because honestly, the sadness is harder to bear. Fathers, be there for your kids. They are dying for you to reach out. How can I trust anyone when I can't trust my own blood to be there? It's an endless loop and it sucks.
Welcome to America... The land of dreams.... *The western marriage system and ideology of parenthood* is a shame and disgraceful to *human civilisation*
What happens when your adult children do not want any part of you after reaching out to them? THey told me they do not want you in my life. Their Mom has an influence on them. It is all too common. Both sides to the story.
@@JohnR767400 I agree that the new generation isn't loyal to their parents and doesn't respect them but who is there to be blamed for in the first place...?!!!
@@JohnR767400it's happening because of the lack of a proper religion... The Asian don't have these issues but a small amount that westernized themselves
Brandon my man, you gotta win. The way you express your emotions through every single word you say is just wow. I can literally see and feel you and your emotions and I am sure I'm not the only one. It's about time that true talent of written words and poetry wins. Cheering for you! Blessings from Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇸
Brandon gets better each time we see him. His words are so amazing and takes me on an emotional rollercoaster each performance he gives. He gets my votes ❤️
His last performance made my mom cry, now he made me......not really sad, but another way to express that. He could win everything despite on what he just does on this show. Nice job, Brandon. If I ever meet you, I will respect you for everything you have done.
I've just caught up with AGT and love this guy with his spoken word and theatrical performance there's a reason there's no been any other spoken word on agt and it's because we were waiting for father God to bring him on at this moment of need in the world with everything that's going on, this is the soul speaking on stage for the hole world to hear. To me Brendon Leake is 2020 agt champion, He's one for the history books winner of speaking from spirit. Truly love it when he's on I screamed the house down in joy when he got through to semi finals
This hits so close to home. This is so powerful. I'm absolutely speechless and in awe of such talent to pull those words directly out of my heart and soul Sm. Well done Brandon, well done.
Brandon being Brandon...you could hear a pin drop as usual! Beautiful, captivating, so many emotions...love ya bro, thanks for being here this season!! 🙏😟😔😊🌞
Brandon Leak is this generations Maya Angelou. I hope he can do great things and be in a powerful position to make an even bigger difference. Amazing individual!
this should be shared from every pulpit and by every youth group leader.... Brandon's message, if taken to heart, could bring healing to countless families and peace to our streets again.. God bless you Brandon..
We keep hearing that part, "all of the issues we are having right now is due to the fact that there are so many who are Fatherless"...some have fathers right in their home and still feel their absence. This man's words spoke volumes. FORGIVENESS is the key.. whether we have a physical Father or not..we still have a Spititual Father who loves unconditionally!
Brilliant and beautiful! You told a story full of hope, then pain and hurt, and ultimately forgiveness! Loved the fluidity, and you’re portrayal of raw emotion! But the best part of all: “...at the altar of Christ.” You found forgiveness for your earthly father because of the forgiveness of your Heavenly Father! I love that message! Keep doing what you’re doing!
This hit home! My Father has been in and outta my life since I was 2 years old, and this made me realize everything. I miss my dad and nothin I can do to change that.
I haven’t followed the show but I watched the video of his audition. I’m glad he’s been voted through. Amazing talent, but more than that for sure. Not quite sure what the “more” is, but it is there and I’m glad Brandon is willing to share.
My dad left when I was a toddler. He found by my older sister when I was a preteen but he still remain distance. 25 years later he came back into our lives, I wanted to write a letter to him about all the pain he caused but now that I’m turning 30 he is more in our lives now and our children lives. I don’t need to write a letter anymore. I found God and forgave him
Brandon you have definitely introduced a whole new game to AGT of powerful messages in words of poetry. Its always been around but never taken so seriously in competitions that go viral like AGT. You have me in awe after every single dang performance, with chills and or tears coming down my face. Keep at it. Dont ever stop. Huge fan always.
I am a published poet with 4 books in print and hundreds of poems in magazines, anthologies, literary journals etc. I remember that a beloved professor once said that a good poet's words should sound like conversation- Brandon achieves that. No fluff, just heartfelt, real and visceral.
I keep coming back to this act - the message is profound - it´s universal not racist or against any religion - it´s life - I love it! Pain as any human being feels because pain is life ....
Every poem has resonated with my family 💔 You are the best and say things I wish I could, you are my favorite and keep speaking your truth cause your not alone!! Thank you for being you!
Truly powerful spoken word. I know there are many young men & women who can relate to this particular spoken word. Thank you for sharing your life's journey.
I'll be 30 in three days, and I love spoken word but never truly got into it until I went to college and we had our own spoken word club and watching this brings back so many memories. He is great!
Watch this with my young Queen. She will be 13 In December. I felt her pain,her hurt just everything. Wondering why. I just reach out to her just hold her as she cry and I cry with her.
Buddy! This so beautiful! If people could just lay these things at the altar and forgive...SUCH FREEDOM. God has given you a gift. So awesome that He gave you the platform. ☝️
i am so proud to say, i’ve gotten to meet this amazing and inspiring human being 🤍 thank you for the conversations and motivation to get me where I am today. I wouldn’t be where I am without your spoken words. M10- freshman avid class forever stuck in my head forever reppin 209 ❗️
This is a gutsy, inspirational and exceptional performance! It takes time, wisdom, pain and transformation to come up with such words. 💗✍️🙏 Thank you for your courage, Brandon!
Brandon, you captivate your audience. We hold on tightly to each word wanting more but at the same time yearning for it to end to hear the epic mind blowing finale that makes us sit back in awe of what we just heard. You have the ability to put into words what most people can only scream out or self- medicate out or block out. Thank you!
“maybe that’s why my reflection looks so unfamiliar sometimes” that’s too powerful
Pretty weak overshot of a line.
This line made me think Mulan immediately.
“I forgive you so I can finally be free... this right here is generational healing.” ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's what hit me

@@dallaswinston330 why
Hello
I'm so sorry. May I ask if he past?
This is not just a performance of reciting poetry, but dramatic theatre at its best! Obviously may not be best for a Las Vegas show. However, he could easily assemble a one man show for Broadway and win awards for drama such as the Pulitizer Prize!

You don't have to worry about me hating him. I think he is amazing. Love you Brandon.
I was a Brandon detractor, but Brandon is convincing me to believe in him. Not many AGT acts can convey emotions like Brandon can.
Thanks for concluding that we don't have a heart because we are not attracted to a grown man complaining about his absentee father. Grow a sack, society
I didn’t mean it that way, I meant that whoever hates what he does, they don’t have a heart because what he says is very meaningful.
"I wanted to move on but I couldn't turn the page. Or I didn't want to.

Great job. The way he manipulates his speech in an abstract way is beautiful.
Now this is real talent. Powerful poem and performance!

Another powerful performance. Very touching.
I really mean this. He’s gonna be the first Person to win AGT for just reading his poems
Writing and performing poems there fixed it for you.
Aaron Futrell No he’s basically reading his poems
Brandon Leake feel like an inspiration to not only me but everybody in America. Especially, during these crazy times that 2020 delivered.
He writes poems that he performs slam poetry is performance based he’s not reading anything off a teleprompter
I hope he doesn’t win
WOW! Words more powerful than I could ever dream up. I really hope this guy wins. He has all the talent that the world needs xoxo
