    You'll never see a 6ft 8inch clown belt out a melancholy tune with more passion than Puddles Pity Party​, the Sad Clown with the Golden Voice. Watch this & you have truly experienced the awe of a true artist. This kind of talent is rare folks. Every facial expression and video cut is handcrafted to heighten the sensational evocation of this sombre indulgence. :-)
    ThankYou Puddles!

    How can anyone not comment on the man's expressive nature? I read the comments, not that many really, and NO ONE mentions how Puddles, Mike if you will, lays his soul out for all to see on his face while singing this song. It's half the beauty of this video entirely. I mean if you were deaf, you could probably feel the soul of the song and the man singing it.
    Awe inspiring. I can also appreciate the little bit of lighthearted humor in the beginning clip. Gives a little balance to the piece.

    • @Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo
      @Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo 6 лет назад

      I really wish he had sang it.
      The real issue with his AGT auditions was he was only showcasing his amazing voice, not the intoxicating charm that is "Puddles Pity Party".
      Which means that his character was lost in translation. People didn't "get" Puddles.
      If he wanted to do voice only, he should've entered as himself, Mike Geier.
      If he had sang this song, and done the LIVE in-song schtick he does for this song on Mel B or Heidi, or even Howie, I seriously doubt that he would've been blackballed by Simon.
