Watch the 'Amazing' Performer Who Got the Last Spot in the 'America's Got Talent: All-Stars' Finale
'AGT' Season 14 winner Kodi Lee earns the last spot in the 'All-Stars' finale.
When Kodi Lee won Season 14 of America’s Got Talent, he became the first autistic/blind person to do so, causing his mother Tina to comment, “When he won, the thing that popped into my mind was the whole world just won.”
Now the musical savant is back for All-Stars and says he returned because he wants “to win again!”
And he just might. When Kodi was announced as the next performer on the All-Stars stage, the audience jumped to its feet, calling his name.
“I don’t think I’ve heard the audience this loud,” judge Heidi Klum commented.
“This takes me back to one of those magical moments we have on AGT,” Simon Cowell added. “People always ask me the top three or four auditions, and we always mention your audition Kodi. Now this is an All-Star.”
Then Kodi took his seat at the piano for a performance of Calum Scott’s “Biblical.”
When he was finished, again, the audience jumped to its feet shouting Kodi’s name. They probably would have called for a Golden Buzzer, but there wasn’t one left, so Kodi had to make it through by winning the vote of the Superfans.
“There’s no other word to describe what you do other than amazing,” Howie Mandel said. “You are truly amazing. You’re truly an All-Star. You just got this audience, you just got the Superfans, and the audience at home to feel it.”
“I feel you, too, Kodi Lee,” Heidi told him. “In fact, I feel my heart doubles in size when I hear you sing. You truly are an All-Star and I feel that AGT is what it is because of people like you.”

Simon agreed with Heidi, saying, “It’s the people we’ve met along the way that make this show so special. Kodi, you are one of these artists who is always going to be amazing. There’s never going to be a year where we go, ‘Kodi’s not good anymore,’ because you’re always going to be amazing. You are always going to be better. Your performances are always going to be mesmerizing and, honestly, you define what an All-Star is.”
Later at the end of the night, when Terry Crews was announcing the results, he revealed the Top 3: comic Josh Blue, spoken word poet Brandon Leake, and Kodi Lee.
But when all was said and done, it was Kodi who was put through to the finale.
America’s Got Talent airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
