LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kodi Lee, a singer, and pianist, returned to 'America's Got Talent'. Not only did his lovely voice captivate the crowd, but it also prompted Howie Mandel to want to use his Golden Buzzer to steal the singer from Team Simon.

Kodi, a blind and autistic pianist and vocalist, impressed the world with his musical prowess during 'AGT' Season 14. Fortunately for his admirers, the musical prodigy has returned for 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' as one of Simon's Dream Team selections.



 

Kodi's audition for 'AGT: Fantasy League' received a standing ovation from both the Judges and the crowd.

He took the stage with an original song, demonstrating that he could have just as much effect with an original as he did with a cover. Kodi leaped for pleasure when he heard the applause.

Mel B informed him that if she still had her Golden Buzzer from earlier in the night, which she used to take a separate Act from Simon, she would have used it for him.

Howie agreed, saying he was blown away by Kodi's writing abilities. Even he went to X, to express, "I wish I had my Golden Buzzer tonight @Kodileerocks."
