Brandon Leake reacts to 'risky' Black Lives Matter performance HERE:talentrecap.com/americas-got-talents-poet-reflects-on-risky-black-lives-matter-performance-video/
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
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
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
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.
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.
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❤️
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.
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 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
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
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.
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...
I’m a fun of watching and reading through comments at the same time.. but for the first time in my history of watching RU-vid 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.
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
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…
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!
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!
This part took me out..😭😭😭😭... "somehow being angry with you, made me feel close to you". ..... Its Deep beyond depths.... I felt that one..... Strongly..... 💯🙏
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
Brandon is amazing! This one really got to me because I still dont know who my biological father is. And I always wondered why he didn't want me. But now I'll never find out why because he's dead.
I am so sorry for your loss and unfortunately he was selfish for leaving you this way I am so so sorry be strong keep your chin up.I know these words can't replace him but I am sincerely sorry for your loss virtual hug from me to you
