America's Got Talent alum Kodi Lee is one of the franchise's greatest finds. The singer—who's also blind and has autism—broke out in Season 14 of the show. His initial Audition went completely viral, and he kept the momentum up all season, ultimately leading to a win.

How to Watch

Watch the Season 19 premiere of America’s Got Talent Tuesday, May 28 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock

Now, Kodi Lee is a bonafide superstar, performing in AGT's Las Vegas show at the Luxor and most recently killing it on AGT: All-StarsFor the unfamiliar, that new show saw 60 Acts from Got Talent history returning to compete for a brand new title. Lee excelled on the show, obviously, reaching the Top 11 and delivering several memorable performances along the way. His astounding cover of Calum Scott's "Biblical" gave everyone goosebumps, and he followed that up with an even more impressive rendition of  David Bowie's 1977 song "Heroes."

If you missed AGT: All-Stars, you can watch all episodes now on NBC and Peacock. And if you're still looking for more Kodi Lee content, look no further than to his Instagram, where he's posting covers all the time. In early March, he blew fans away with a surprise cover of "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. Just a few days later, he wowed again with a moving version of "Fix You" by Coldplay. Watch, below: 

Kodi Lee sings "Fix You" by Coldplay:

 

The AGT Judges have historically had nothing but incredible things to say about Kodi Lee. "That was just stunning, honestly stunning. I mean, boy. That lyric took on a whole new meaning for us just then. And you have something really, really special about you, Kodi," Simon Cowell told Lee during AGT: All-Stars after he performed "Heroes" by Bowie.  "You have this real gift, and every time you perform, there's just silence. Everyone's focused and listening to every word, and then when we wonder what you're gonna do with the song, and then you hit those big notes." 

Howie Mandel added the same episode, "The lyric is, 'We can be heroes just for one day.' And Kodi, you're a hero everyday. You really are." 

Heidi Klum echoed a similar sentiment: "You shine so bright on that stage, and when I think about America's Got Talent, when I think about All-Stars, you are the ultimate All-Star." He is indeed! 

If you want more AGT, be sure to catch up on episodes now both on Peacock and NBC.
