People don’t realize that this kinda tone is just rare nowadays, some will try to fake it, he’s naturally blessed with this tone!! Definitely deserve its!

His voice is crying in the best way possible. The kind of voice that needs to put out a record asap.

this one deserves a golden buzzer, i played it like 50x the emotion the control and the voice is out of this world..

This guy deserves WAY more. He literally wrote this song too.

Most definitely this should have been a golden buzzer. Makes no sense that it wasn't. He's an AMAZING singer! I love him.

I’d pay money to listen to him singing. Very authentic and mesmerizing.

Anyone who thinks this was a golden buzzer moment lets be friends and gather here.

Nicotine Dolls are amazing musicians. Sam's voive has a haunting, heartbreaking tone to it. I can listen to these guys all day

Did you notice he had the audience in a trance. When he stopped singing there was complete silence. It took the audience a few seconds to finally react. Love his style.

this guy is so humble. you can see he's shy. and he's a very fantastic, raspy voice.

Well deserved standing ovation and he should have got the golden buzzer.

Hands down, the best performance I've ever seen on this show. His voice is magical and a gift from God

This guy actually sounds like a real rock star His voice is authentic and would bring real and true sound to the industry So fresh and so new Hope to see him become a real pro really soon

Pay attention how he goes into a dimension when he’s singing vs when he talks. He’s truly gifted an he knows it. His soul was singing this song. Sam is the talker. We will never see a person as creative artistic as you ever again mr cieri

Wow, his tone is money. Sounded like a studio cut rather than recorded live, amazing.

Hearing bits of Steve Perry, Rod Stewart, Michael Bolton and Don Henley in his voice. Absolutely unique, loved it❤

He has the talent, has the voice the look. He’s gonna go far in this career. Such a unique audition!👏🏼

can we all agree this was the most underrated audition?? That was INSANE and I don’t even think he knows how good he really is

He has a unique, kinda quirky personality, which make him endearing, and then his talent takes him to a safe place. Super emotional.

Why am I only allowed to like it once? Phenomenal. Exquisite. Emotional. Nostalgic. Relatable. Connected. Magical.

He did not just sing - he put feelings into the song - that's what makes a great singer when he can sing the song/s with feelings, that alone sells the public and record deals! Good luck young man!

UNIQUE IDENTIFIABLE VOICE. You'll know IT'S HIM. GIVE HIM A CONTRACT ASAP

Instant chills. He could make any song his own just by the tone and grit of his voice

His vocals are insane! Absolutely captivating! Went to iTunes and picked up the whole song. Now it’s number one on a brand new playlist! Got it on repeat!

He can really project his voice right into your soul. How many of you looked the band up right away, I sure as hell did.

Aside him being a great talent. I like how genuine he is. He's not outrageously humble but also not arrogant and cocky. He knows he's talented, and relatively established. He's just real and down to earth

"I couldn't break your heart. If I was you I'd fall apart next to this beating, bruising heart on a wall in a room no one wants to walk in." - Absolutely beautiful.

How was that not a Golden Buzzer? That was the best performance in the history of AGT! Why is he not huge?!!!

You can hear that this is who he is. He’s not someone trying to sing, he’s singing. Can’t wait to hear more

Can‘t wait until Nicotine Dolls have finished the song and release it to the entire world. This will be on every radio station which they truly deserve.

I don’t think people really understand how hard it is to deliver a lyric to an audience when it’s just you and a mic on a stand. No lights, no band, no extra just you the song and make it make sense to the audience. This guy is incredible!

As a very long time fan. To this day….I still have NOT heard another voice like Sam’s. This man’s voice is beyond talent. It’s a God given gift. And his humble nature is WHY God gave him his gift. Thank you to both for sharing you with the world.

Such a voice that you don't hear often. His voice is so raspy, so authentic. Reminds me of Rod Stewart! I loved him and the way he poured his heart in that song.🎶🎵 PRICELESS! ❤️

It's a while since we heard someone singing with a unique voice.

If I was a judge I would've gave him the golden buzzer. Never in all the seasons of agt has anyone sung with that type of voice. I've watched this like 50 times already

The amount of times i've repeated this...but I can't stop, it's almost spiritual.

A double standing ovation from the crowd and Simon says everything. This guy can probably produce tears from rocks if he puts his heart into it.

I know this man. He's the brother of one of my best friends. He's super talented. Im so happy to see him making it. Keep going Sam. Me and Joe are proud of you

That moment of silence after the song is one of the greatest moments for a performer. The audience is so into it, captivated and frozen.

Well that gave me massive goosebumps. Not only was that his original song but the way he sang it….. I felt the pain and sadness in his voice and you could see it in his face. This is what music is all about ppl. He needs to be signed asap.

He’s adorable, funny, and his voice is just so unique.

The intro is goosebumps inducing. The chorus is haunting. The bridge is out of this world. The song keeps upping its own stakes. And his voice can carry it all. ❤️👌

His voice is so raw, authentic and genuine. I need a whole record of him. Wow I’m speechless

Omg his mannerisms when he sings is like a completely different person than before. Gorgeous man and one of the most soulful voices ive ever heard ❤

This dude's voice is addictive. I cannot stop listening to him! So much so that this song is my text ringtone. Go Sam go. You're amazing my friend.

Dude actually wrote me back on tiktok when I dueted his video 2years ago. This Man is beyond humble and Talent doesn't even begin to describe him. He has a Gift. The fact this wasn't a golden buzzer is why I don't watch this show. There is absolutely NO reason why this man didn't get the Golden Buzzer. He has the Voice, the Soul, The Style and personality. What else could you ask for??

WOW, WOW, WOW... he's got a voice. Dang.. this guy's voice's raspy, special, different.. he's adorable, one of a kind, authentic and funny. Simon should give him a contract right away :)

Anyone appreciating this needs to see his duet with Teddy Swims - AMAZING

I hope as he traverses the music industry, that he doesn't lose his raw authenticity.

He definitely needs to release this. This song and his voice absolutely hits home ❤️

He is a star for sure, at first sight! Wishing him a successful music career.

Ive watched this so many times now, amazing voice and song. The look on Sofia's face says it all, absolutely a future artist.

Why is this song not available yet?? Man…such a great voice! This is one of the best vocal auditions I believe we’ve ever heard!

That deserved a golden buzzer. His voice is outstanding

He painted my basement and didn't a bad job. He would alway sing loud when "noone was home". We loved it! Good job!!

I'll tell you what makes me sad...the performance ended, that's what made me sad, loved this audition ❤

My favorite singer or vocalist on America’s Got Talent this season by far. That song could easy or to be on the radio.

I've probably listened to this now about 50 times. His voice is amazing!!

This guy needs to be signed immediately. Voice of an angel.

He sings with so much emotion, and just uses every part of himself to sing very much like Joe Cocker did ❤❤❤

Wow, wasn't expecting that, his voice is Amazing, I'm sure he will certainly get the recognition he deserves

You know, those few seconds of silence right after the song ended says more to me than the applause. An incredibly beautifully sung song and an incredibly beautiful interpretation. I have tears in my eyes. Beautiful.

He has a great voice and looks like he could lead in a romantic comedy.

You know you are in for a great show when when you hear the first note and you get goosebumps! Damn so nice! Congrats Sam (Nicotine Dolls)! A star is born!

New sensation in the music world!

I almost hit the like before he even started singing, because he’s so charming and likable awkward, and just owning things with his honestly. His voice is really phenomenal though.

Never heard that kind of voice, just wow. My jaw drop the whole time his singing. Had to watch it again 👍🏼

As soon as he started singing Sophia was like “well hellooooooo”. What an absolute masterpiece ❤️❤️❤️

Been a fan for awhile. So happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves.

he was robbed of a golden buzzer. you don't find singers like THIS very often. speechless.

Who else got chills feeling the conviction in his voice. He wrote this for someone for sure!

His unique voice with all that emotion gives me some goosebumps. He should have got the Golden buzzer.

It's always the stunned silence at the end before the monstrous applause that tells you how great a performance was

I get goosebumps everytime i hear this. He is so softly spoken but then has a voice like that.

this man puts his heart, his soul, his happiness, his sorrow and his passion into every word he sings. Wow

Certainly deserved d golden buzzer This guy sang from his inner heart So simple so amazing!!!

Been following him and his band Nicotine Dolls for a few months now and his talent is incredible! So happy he’s finally getting some recognition. They make music already but definitely deserve a deal with a major label and more spotlight.

He's funny and humble. He sounds like he's already had a record deal.

From 2:13 till 2:31 is on repeat. Spontanious great voice and piano music complements the song. Wish Sam all the best.

He doesn’t need to go all the way , this was pretty much an amazing performance of his voice way better than a lot of singers now days on their concerts. Someone sign a record deal with him asap👏🏼👏🏼

I haven’t cried from a singer’s voice in so long. This was mesmerizing

His eyes are very expressive, he's also so shy and his body language and the way he acts is mesmerising and his voice was the cherry on top.

His music, his role not only as the vocalist and songwriter, but also the director of Nicotine Dolls clips show that he is a great artist.

Out of any raw talent that has put themselves in front there will never be such a raw emotional voice. Just incredible

His speaking voice was so smooth and lovely, his singing voice sounds like a cry, and yet he looks like he’s not straining. ✨✨✨

I’ve watched this 100’s of times and still get emotional each and every time I do! Thank you AGT for bringing Sam and the Nicotine Dolls into our lives. Shame you wanted him to split with his band and go solo. His integrity and loyalty pretty much says it all! I can’t remember the last time music touched me the way Nicotine Dolls have!

His voice, personality and looks are going to make him go further. A newly discovered talent!

The lyrics are beautiful. As someone who bottles things up, I will never forget having a partner who begged me just to talk to him about my pain and I couldn't. I hadn't been raised to do that and I didn't wanna burden him.

Lyrics: Talk to me She wants to know what’s stuffed inside that’s tearing me up into the pieces on the floor, you see I don’t have an answer for you now stick around I’ll find a reason Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad Ohhh Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad I wouldn’t break your heart If I was you I’d fall apart Next to this beating, bruising arm On a wall in room No one wants to walk in You leave me hanging and hoping Ohhh Tell me what makes you sad Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad You said Tell me what makes Tell me what makes you sad Tell me what makes you sad

He brought tears to my eyes listening to his voice n the feeling that he put into his song. Love it! Hope he wins the AGT!

He is a diamond in the rough that does not need polishing. I hope he forgoes the Hollywood route. I just hope he stays honest in his presentation and vocals. The song was simply refreshing. Well, I think 2022 is the year of the Singer/Song Writer.

This man and this performance is UNFORGETTABLE!!! I never get tired of hearing him sing.

There is something so endearing about him. What a really sweet soul!

His voice reminds me of the singer Michael Bolton from the 80's/90's! His voice gave me chills & I just heard this song played on a national tv show called "The Good Doctor" I'm so proud of him!🎉🥰You've received your well deserved flowers!⚘⚘⚘

Nicotine Dolls has just become my new guilt free indulgence! I love singers who are unique and have a sound and style uniquely their own and Sam is fresh and full of emotion. I hope we get to see a range of performances and not just love ballads, which he has proven he has the chops to take on. This performs e will be life changing for the young lad! Remember, pay don’t pirate music! 😘🇨🇦💋

I was so captured by the sound of his voice that I just noticed he was singing an original song. Big kudos to this man. Simon is right - there's something very honest and open about his singing. Nothing wrong with painting or cleaning houses, but when you've been given a gift like he has, it's a crime not to use it to the fullest.

His voice kind of 80's. Must be give him golden buzzer!

I loved Simons words, “Authentic” and “we got to know you very quickly.” Perfect!!!

Oh my god, I love him. This is one of the most incredible voices I’ve ever heard. The way he hits high notes with that raspy perfection is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. It’s a crazy clean/messy masterpiece. If you read these comments, dude, then I hope you read mine. You’re incredible.

He's got such an amazing voice wow. It's a rare type of voice that is really great to listen to.
