He got talent no matter what color he is he is great stop say stupid shit cuz to me he dont play nothing he is who he is black white purple dont matter get over yourself
@@HomeEduSchool I have one who doesn't even acknowledge my son and guess who my son wants to become a pilot and God has done well and to gave me the strength to go on. Even though you choose ppl change
Getting really sick of idiots complaining that this isnt a talent. I'd like to see any one of them get up there and do it. This young man is amazing. People go see spoken word at smaller venues all the time so I don't see why it wouldnt work on a larger stage. I guarantee you the people that are complaining about this are those that just dont like hearing about the issues in our country right now and want to pretend like they dont exist.
They’re the same people who watch the kardashians and call it entertainment. They don’t know the value of art nor do they understand its role in the world.
@@ayeaye2110 Its mostly super right wing Trump supporters that hate anything to do with hip hop, do not want want to hear anything about social injustice and will say this guy only gets through bc hes black and talks about these things. Most of them are racist.
drewcliff82 100%. I was battling with a whole bunch of them on his piece before this and the only reason they didn’t like it is because they’re racist. They’d rather have this wack ass country group win.
@@ayeaye2110 I'm a fan of all the acts that are left with Alan Silva being my favorite. Next I have Brandon and Roberta. Next I would have Broken roots and Malik who should have went in over Archie. Archie could bounce back in the next round though. I really feel for what happened to him and even if he wasnt the best how could i get mad at him getting the money they the government should have paid him for losing 37 years of his life for no reason. Brandon is so amazing and what he is doing is so important right now. I'm just happy he made it this far. Broken roots did an excellent job on their U2 cover and that was really unexpected for me. If I have to go with the most captivating act though its Alan Silva. He is so unique and I could really see him in Vegas tearing it up. At the end of the day whoever delivers the best performance in the finals is who should win regardless of color or background.
I'm 23 and I've never met my dad. I used to cry when I see other kids with their dad's. It hurts trying to teach myself how to become a man with no guidance from one.
If anyone actually recognizes, acknowledges, accepts G-d/Almighty/Creator/Master of All is their father, then anger will never result nor the disappointment he expressed or the end he professed. But, it seems nice to think of anyway. Sincerely
Considering the talent, the emotion, the love, the feeling everyone gets watching him....this guy has to be one of the best acts any talent show has ever had
Yes, I experienced that anger for many years. When I became a father to a son, it changes your life. I reflected on those times and didnt want my son to experience what I experienced.
May Your father find his internal peace and way to connect with You, and soon And may You be open to patience and hope for the right time. Then appreciate him for all You can. May You meanwhile find meaning in Your situation and connection with Your Creator/Almighty/Master of All. Sincerely
Leigh Davis stay strong no matter what don't blame yourself and know as much as you miss him it is his loss giving you a virtual hug I know that take place of him but hope it helps
@@davidfino332 @Leigh Davis; Your advice is good about staying strong and without any self-blame. Also using the imagination of a hug from his father though distant currently, is very helpful, especially the more real the it can be imagined. As for the attitude, there are some improvements. We do not know the aspects which led to the separation or reason for lack of contact. We can choose Our attitude, not with arrogance [as shown in the poem presentation, or suggested], but an open accepting desire. Sometimes closing eyes speaking with Your father, while alone, as if he is in front of You, telling him how much You miss him, want him to have contact with You , miss his warm embrace, hug, etc.There can be amazing results, especially if You can imagine speaking from Your Soul to his Soul. have results with this in my own life with my children who were separated from me, without contact. Then, now have five of six, with one when We see each other, rarely, We can communicate, though have not yet had private time. It may take many days or weeks or months or more to achieve. Sincerely
These are the poetry videos they should be showing in schools. Poems that actually touch you! If he doesn’t move on I don’t know what America’s voting on
I’m 53 and I have never called a men dad. The last time I seen my dad I was 4 years old. I cried so much the night I seen AGT so much emotions. Brandon is a true gift from God.
i am at a loss of words to describe how Brandon makes me feel, he opens the doors to emotions that i never knew i had about situations that may not be mine but through him i can relate to. I am naive to success for poets, i don't know what success for a poet is, if its to reach people and expand their minds then Brandon is the best there is. I wish all the success for this man in whatever success means to him because he expanded my mind, my heart. Thank you.
After seeing his first audition, I questioned where he could go with his content. However, he seems to just keep improving with his messages getting even stronger and more meaningful. I had chills throughout the whole performance, and I just want to say thank you for sending these powerful messages across America.
This is one of the most emotional things I have ever watched. I felt his pain and the pain of children and young adults craving for the love of a parent. I love you Brandon. You're sensational
Brandon, you are truly a beautifully reflected light in this world of darkness and hate, forgiveness is one of the strongest virtues a man can have. Thank you for letting me learn this
This was absolutely incredible you have a beautiful soul I know so many kids are and have been in your shoes I so loved it thank you GOD BLESS YOU STAY STRONG
He's like an inspirational speaker talking about real life experiences ❤️ so much people can relate Edit: I just finished watching the performance and I'm in tears 😭 so relatable on so much levels❤️
From 3 years i am watching got talents and this year in agt for the first time i really like someone that much. I want him to win the show and make it big
I am also a big fan of yours Brandon.... words emit our sadness as much as it emit our happiness... they paint our needs and for that, we should be all thankful for a good poet that delivers the right ray to the right darkness.... I really really really wish you to win this...
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.
Kris J Awww so sad that you feel this way. The world doesn’t agree. In fact he just made it to finals. Regardless of if he wins or not, you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him, I can guarantee that.
So powerful… this pulls on my heart strings because i can remember allll of the letters i had to send to my dad all for nothing because he’s still not here…
Brandon Leake is exactly where he should be and I think he has a good chance of winning. Spoken word however can be polarizing but regardless, he is making a name for himself and should be on his way up. And the winner of AGT 2020 and $1 Million dollars is Brandon Leake! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Powerful, deep and amazing are only a few words to describe this performance. You are truly gifted Brandon. Keep the faith. God is using you to touch lives. Continue to make yourself accessible to Him. Love and blessings my brother.
Who is watching this 11 years after marshall davis jones? No one cared about spoken word until now. I am glad it finally came to the great stage. Way better poets tho......shihan....black ice......red storm...!emon....so many more better not main stream poets
I’m a fun of watching and reading through comments at the same time.. but for the first time in my history of watching RUclips videos, I couldn’t read the comments while I watched this performance ... Dear Brandon, you have won a place in my heart Sincerely... Baby U❤️
He is amazing and I think i was recently in a zoom meeting with him getting the information on how to enroll in Delta college. He inspired me to keep pushing for an education that will provide a better future.
Brandon is the kind of man that gives you a reason to keep on keeping on,, and to put your life's silent words on paper to become the spoken word to someone's heart, thus the reason why I have enjoyed writting since I was 14, and I am 58,and to listen to him shows me the reason why I still enjoy writting the spoken word, THAT YOUNG MAN WILL GIVE PEACE TO THOSE THAT HAVE NONE,STRENGTH TO THOSE THAT ARE WEEK,AND A HOPE TO THOSE WHOM THINK ALL IS LOST, HE IS AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN, NEVER GIVE UP,NEVER STOP SPEAKING THE SPOKEN WORD.
Well written, well said from one poet to another. I've been writing over 10 years now. Started writing when I was in the combat zone in Iraq. I think its the most therapeutic thing for me. As I share with friends and open mic venues, I can see how helpful it is. Thanks for sharing
This impacted me so much, growing up without a mother wanting to be around. Thank you for your words and thank you for finally showing me it’s OK to let go of all of the anger and hate that I have been carrying!
Speech less. Wow. Inspirational to pursue my gifts. This should help others with absentee fathers to heal. I can totally relate to an absentee father even tho mine physically was around, peripherally. 😢. I finally discovered that he has little to him, he can't share of himself. Also, congratulations on getting married! 🤗
Brandon every time you came on stage you make me cry my mom died you cried me for my mom today you cried me again for my dad he died too I miss my mom and dad too 😭😥. Love you Brandon I hope you will win this year AGT 2020.
This hit homes for me. My 16th birthday party Saturday. I'm inviting my father. I want him to be there. The last birthday we shared was my second. He showed up and told me was sorry for not being there for me.
I got chills every 5 seconds. His words just flows so naturally and cuts through everything. Never been to was he's been through, but I can feel his pain and his story...
So beautiful and truly an artists with his words. Spoken word isn’t easy to do and usually makes me cringe. But the way he uses his words, expression, and puts his all into his work, you can feel the raw emotion. I’m so happy he won!
I first heard this and it made me cry so hard for I lost my dad to cancer last year 2019 to cancer and to everyone cherish ur dad. To all dads dont leave ur children I wished I could have just one more day with my dad. Brandon u are very inspiring to me 🙂

This video made me cry and I’m only 13 years old!
25 years of raw emotion packed into 3 mins in a vivid, tangible and exhaustive way. This is pure genius! Pure art! This is a winner.
20 or 40 years from now, this poem will still be relevant. That is the beauty of a timeless art form.
"Somehow being angry with you,made me feel close to you"
That's deep right there
Right? It seriously struck a nerve.
He LITERALLY said those words at the EXACT same moment I was reading them on your comment! That's freaky! 😳
Lora Vipperman SAMEEE WTH
@@loravipperman3061 It is! Wow!
Knocked me right off my bed
Dude is taking AGT to an actual artistic level.
@BipolarCrazy I’m pretty certain one can be in a cross ethnic relationship and also be an artist with integrity. ✌🏽
He got talent no matter what color he is he is great stop say stupid shit cuz to me he dont play nothing he is who he is black white purple dont matter get over yourself
@BipolarCrazy so what you are so 4king crazy
@BipolarCrazy Your ignorant you are part of the reason why this country is where we are you must be a TRUMP fan
Trump2020 you know white people have deadbeat dads too, right?
This performance was for ALL the Deadbeat dad's out there.....Powerful..

True! This is art....it takes a talent like Brandon's to move us...his delivery is fantastic.
This man’s hand is shaking with pure emotion holding the paper. Wow.
He is changing the world one poem at a time.
I'm 23 and I've never met my dad. I used to cry when I see other kids with their dad's. It hurts trying to teach myself how to become a man with no guidance from one.
Same Here🥺
Thats so sad. But God is always there who will guide you
Sorry sweetheart but God will guide u through it all,,just trust him
Every man who cares is your dad.....I'm sure you're a great young man. God bless you.
I'm 35 Im giving up soon
He has another father in heaven who will never forsake him
If anyone actually recognizes, acknowledges, accepts G-d/Almighty/Creator/Master of All is their father, then anger will never result nor the disappointment he expressed or the end he professed.
But, it seems nice to think of anyway.
Sincerely
Amen
@@dominiceid9765 To which are You in agreement??
🗣🗣🗣🗣
AMEN
When he says "I don't need you!!!!" the passion in his voice breaks me.
I was watching this with my dad and I never see him cry but this brought him to tears
Considering the talent, the emotion, the love, the feeling everyone gets watching him....this guy has to be one of the best acts any talent show has ever had
This man is so talented. The emotion, passion, his gift for words. I love him.
My dad abandoned me a few years ago when my parents got divorced and i still write him with no response so this hit me in the feels a bit.
Yes, I experienced that anger for many years. When I became a father to a son, it changes your life. I reflected on those times and didnt want my son to experience what I experienced.
I’m so sorry. 😢
May Your father find his internal peace and way to connect with You, and soon

He works for my school and I’m so proud of him
Wow u so lucky
This man is truly amazing for many men and women who have had a let down Dad love from me in the UK
If he wins I bet his dad would wanna be in his life ... so sad
...but as life proves to be the provisional trek to one's soul so to would Brandon's be different if in fact his Dad was around all those years.
He is! He came to the wedding. :)
Humble Driver that’s wonderful
Dustin oh awesome
He is in his life already sis, he said so.

YOU are absolutely right. I think I’ll do it!

Hey man, how are you rn?
This got me to my soul. As a child of an absent father.... But I had no address to mail a letter to. You are what the world needs. Bless you!!
Hello Debi
You know, I'm thinking this could have also been like a journal entry throughout the years...something cathartic for him.
I’m in tears everytime I listen to Brandon, I never knew my dad this means the world to me!! Thank you Brandon 👊🏻💜
Yes! I don't know, if you know this man named Jesus. He would love to be your Father only if you allow him. What you feel lost, you will see restored.

Beautiful, inspiring ,I love his poetry
Congratulations Brandon! I was rooting for you.
I love spoken word! It's so powerful!
The rhymes in the letter when he was 16 were spot on
'i hate the fact I still want you here' yup I hear you
That was awesome. The performance really makes the piece.
I am so proud of you Brandon!!!
If they’re actually doing a Fresh Prince reboot, he’s gotta be in it.
I was thinking about that scene when I was watching this video 😂
They already have the main cast for it picked out, since it’s based on a fan made trailer.
Rafael de lá ghetto?
This guy makes people love poetry.
His performance is nothing but fantastic!
Yesssssssssss. Each phase was perfection. Thank you for being vunerable enough to share your pain!
This impacted me so much, growing up without a mother wanting to be around. Thank you for your words and thank you for finally showing me it’s OK to let go of all of the anger and hate that I have been carrying!

He showed up and told me was sorry for not being there for me.
Praying for you @Aaliyah ❤
This young man belongs on Broadway and in movies. Very talented.
Makes me cry everytime even here and I have my dad.
Another powerful and inspiring performance. You deserve to win
I got chills every 5 seconds. His words just flows so naturally and cuts through everything. Never been to was he's been through, but I can feel his pain and his story...
This is heart wrenching! Omg the rawness the emotion the real was. Ali have goosebumps all over.
He has a great chance at winning... And even if he doesn't, he has won people's hearts..
Yes he has!
Not all people!
This is extremely deep I really like how he was role-playing through the ages
Wow. That's all I have to say after this. He's truly incredible and I think that he deserves to win.
Tots dude I would totally vote for him if I was allowed to
@@naru6975 Why are you responding? Walk down the hall and talk to me. Crazy (:

I love your energy Brandon, I'm always pulled to tears when I watch you.You're just incredible
So beautiful and truly an artists with his words. Spoken word isn’t easy to do and usually makes me cringe. But the way he uses his words, expression, and puts his all into his work, you can feel the raw emotion. I’m so happy he won!
I seriously think that the Librarian of Congress should appoint Brandon Leake to be America's Poet Laureate.
Came back to watch this after Amanda Gorman’s performance.. couldn’t agree more 🥰
He proved himself once again why he was the best candidate for Howie's golden buzzer.
Brandon’s got my vote 100%
You are amazing!! I hope you win!!
I first heard this and it made me cry so hard for I lost my dad to cancer last year 2019 to cancer and to everyone cherish ur dad. To all dads dont leave ur children I wished I could have just one more day with my dad. Brandon u are very inspiring to me 🙂
this man is so powerful he is so moving and real
this kid is on another level ... AMAZING

“What a little half truth when you ONLY know half your roots.
MAN MAN. Brandon you really did me on that line ….cuz it be like that.
As soon as I watched this I cried
The only reason I cried was because I went threw the same thing
