Kid was faking it no doubt

he is one of 25 people in the entire world that possess such a keen ability for musical expression, perfect pitch and an audio photographic memory, which means he can recall music after hearing a song just one time. Not only has Kodi mastered classical works by Chopin, Bach and Mozart, he can perform rock, pop and R&B. He’s mastered six instruments, and loves to tap dance


Just read this about him

severely autistic


As someone who has dealt with "severely" autistic kids, I know that one put in that situation would have an absolute meltdown.

Kid may be autistic, but is certainly not severe.

You don’t think the fact that he’s blind might help with that some?

You got caught up in the moment, it’s okay. You won’t think twice about it tomorrow.

He’s already done a collaboration with makayla Phillips, who got a golden buzzer last year. Before he ever auditioned for AGT. He’s a known commodity. They made it seem like ‘autistic kid enjoys singing around his house and now wants to show the world’ but in reality he’s been making money singing.

I was left speechless tonight and I don't say that lightly. How long before someone says he's faking the autism? This young man is a miracle and proof that music is a gift from God.

If she got some decent titties, then she’d be a ducking silver dollar.

I don’t have enough info to know if his medical ailments are legit or not, but my main beef is with AGT portraying this boy as an amateur who has just emerged from the shadows

He has his own website and semi-popular YouTube channel. He is established.

This isn’t Susan Boyle, a reclusive, agoraphobic woman who actually was a complete nobody who was hiding an incredible gift, while finally having the courage to showcase it.

This boy knows he is gifted and has been active for some time.

I watch AGT on Hulu every season. They've definitely gone to a showcase theme more than a talent search theme, if that makes sense.

That being said, I don't think they're pulling the wool over the eyes of the audience. The magician last year was well established, but his act was taken mainstream by AGT. I don't believe that's disingenuous.

Have to agree. Kind of the point in test marketing an act before sending them off for a long term lucrative deal for both parties. It's one long drawn out commercial. Which is smart.

Yeah the whole thing is a set up and Pedro and his boy toys are getting caught up in the moment.

Maybe that's the vibe I was catching. It just didn't seem...genuine.

Regardless the dude has an amazing voice and I wish him incredible success. Super talented, obviously.
