Watch Kodi's audition
Kodi Lee aged 22, from California, appeared on the show on Tuesday night, accompanied by his mother, Tina, who explained that her son developed a love of music, and an incredible singing talent, 'very early on' in his life, sharing that she knew he was 'an entertainer' from a young age.
'We found out that he loved music really early on,' she said. 'He listened and his eyes just went huge. And he started singing, and that's when I was in tears, because I realized he is an entertainer.
When Kodi finished his performance, the entire room got to its feet, giving Kodi a very well deserved standing ovation.
Simon Cowell told him: 'What just happened there was extraordinary. Really extraordinary.
'I don't know what it's like to live in Kodi's world - all I can tell is that you obviously have an amazing relationship, the two of you. And your voice is absolutely fantastic. You have a really beautiful tone.
'Thank you so much for trusting us on this show. I'm going to remember this moment for the rest of my life.'
