Kodi’s amazing gift lies within his musical expression, perfect pitch, and passion for all forms of music, with an audio photographic memory in which he can recall music he hears after just one listen. He is one of only approximately 25 in the world today who possess his extraordinary abilities. He is unbelievably gifted, as he is a blind and autistic musical prodigious savant. Kodi became the eventual winner of the competition, claiming the $1 million grand prize and headlining of a show in Las Vegas. Moved by his performance, Gabrielle Union pressed her Golden Buzzer, which sent Kodi straight to the Quarterfinals. He got the golden buzzer during his audition in Episode 1401 of America’s Got Talent show. But the proof of his autism is in the fact that he is a musical prodigal savant, who is one of a handful of people in the world with perfect pitch and photographic audio recall.Kodi Lee is a Korean-American singer-songwriter and pianist. His talent is extraordinary and if he were a perfectly abled man who sat down at the piano and sang pitch perfect melodies in full range AND falsetto, he would still be the most talented person on that stage. Kodi Lee doesn't need anyone's sympathy vote. First people say he isn't blind so his siblings put out a video explaining his condition and what he can and can't see and then proceeded to have Kodi type and read a joke he wrote in Braille. Honestly, I laughed out lout when I read this post. Which suggests to me that it is pretty difficult to play such a role but if that is the case, perhaps Kodi has even more talent than we originally thought. And of course we have Rain Man and a few others who also won or were nominated for academy awards. And Tyler Figuaroa didn't have cancer, it was just a really bad cold.Īctually, none of those things ever crossed my mind and I'm sorry for people who really think that an autistic kid's own mother is going to lie about her son's condition which is so evident.ĪGT and the other shows are entertainment productions first, so yes, they are going to play up drama and the stories, not to garner sympathy as much as voyeuristic entertainment.Ĭertainly, people have played autistic roles in fact Leonardo Di Caprio got a best supporting actor for playing Arnie in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Yes, he is definitely faking and it also crossed my mind that the comedian is wearing fake lobster claws over his real hands. It makes Kodi's performances mean even more knowing that this person with a true condition is living out his dreams of performing on stage, and also to applaud the show for actually not sugarcoating a story like they do with so many other acts. The show even hides certain truths from us (like Eric Chien's win on Asia's Got Talent, ETC) but the show is extremely transparent with Kodi and what he's dealing with, and I want to make it known for two reasons. I am too for a lot of things, not just AGT. Also, he's super sweet and a pleasure to talk to. I love watching those cause it shows him in a real conversation. When talking with Kodi, he'll pause after being asked something (like in his audition) while in his video packages it shows him responding faster than he actually does (probably to save time.) You can see his true self in youtube interviews primarily. That being said, I believe AGT does the opposite of overexaggerating later on in the season. Plus if you look at his old youtube videos and baby videos shown on his package on the show, either he has been faking it since he was around 5, or he truly has autism and is blind (which is the correct answer.) It's the same as claiming someone is disgusing their skin color, in theory, it could work, but you'd tell pretty easily if someone is doing it. I know people think it's possible to fake it, but if someone without his condition were to try copying the mannerisms Kodi has, such as his speech and eye movements, it would easily come across as a fake, especially when you're literally 2 feet away from them. I mean, it's pretty clear to tell if you meet someone in person if they truly have a disability or not.
