Kodi Lee's Moving Duet With Leona Lewis Is a Reminder of Why He Won America's Got Talent

Kodi Lee is a beacon of light on the America's Got Talent [1] stage, and we can't wait to see what he does next, now that he's the season 14 winner. The 23-year-old singer from Southern California performed a stunning duet with Leona Lewis for the show's finale on Wednesday night, moving the audience to an emphatic standing ovation. There was no critique from judges Simon Cowell [2], Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union [3], or Howie Mandel afterward — just pure emotion.

For his finale performance, Lee sang "You Are the Reason" by Calum Scott [4] for a second time. This song holds special significance for Lee's AGT journey, since it played after his now-viral audition [5], when Union slammed her golden buzzer [6]. Lee, who is blind and has autism, continued to amaze the judges [7] (and viewers at home) week after week with his unparalleled talent. Watch his full performance above to see his vocal chops and piano skills in action. It's really no surprise he made it to the very top this season.
