You could tell that Avery still really needed to hear that
8:38 when Simon says it was like listening to a singer, this was a GREAT compliment. One of the main goals of playing saxophone is playing "lyrically", meaning play trying to emulate a singer to add emotion and style. The fact that Simon isn't a sax player makes it even more impressive that Avery was able to convey this emotion to someone who doesn't even know about playing "lyrically" (i play sax too and im glad its getting some fame)

As a musician who knows how to play the sax, the TONE of that first note was pure butter. It was so clear and the tonality was melting me into my seat. The articulation, the intonation, the runs, the crescendos and decrescendos, the vibrato, the FEELING, EVERYTHING about this from a musical standpoint was absolutely phenomenal and only a handful of truly great saxophone players sound like this gentleman did here.

This has gotta be one of my most favorite auditions I’ve ever seen on America’s Got Talent. I literally started crying myself, not just because Terry Crews gave him a Golden Buzzer, but because he said, “If ANYONE tries to bully you again, you let them know you have a big brother named Terry Crews! I got your back, man!” He stands up for Avery. That is the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen on the show. 😭
as a music teacher, this was one of my favourite auditions ever of AGT. I can only imagine all the practice, lessons and dedication he put into his craft and playing. I am so proud of this man.

"You've been bullied all your life, but you tell every bully that you've got a big brother named Terry Crewes who is here and got your back.

I agree, Amen. It makes you Stronger, If you tap into that inner peace, that joy knowing that God will Always be there, if you except him into your heart. I know I changed this around, but that's what I did, and had to do, and Wanted to do. I tapped into God, and now He directs my path. I had been bullied most of my childhood, I had been molested, Most of my childhood, I had been raped. So hard for me to open up about this, But something tells me to anyway. I left home around the age of 17, and didn't tell Anyone where I was at or where I was going. Didn't care to tell anyone, not even my mother. I have seen Many things, been through Many things. So yes, i tapped into God, and He directs my path, He alone gives me strength, and the courage to face another day. I am having full knee replacement surgery at the end of this month. But let me tell you, if it wasn't for God, I wouldn't be here, Nobody would be here. I thank Him every day I am alive and still kicking. So when I heard this young man tell his story, it brought me to tears of pain, tears of Joy, and tears of knowing that He is here showing his gift, his talent, and his heart. Sorry for my long reply, but this is why I agree with you. I am So Thankful for God and All He has done for me and my life. I hope that you and Everyone here has a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day.

I'm happy for you Avery Dixon. I'm 23. At my young age I've grown cold and rarely cry now even though I was the most emotional person you'd meet in school. I've been bullied my entire life. Same names you were called because I looked different. I graduated highschool praying for a way to get revenge on all those people that bullied me and the teachers that allowed it and my family that never understood how it made me feel and how close to taking my life I was. I joined the marine corps hoping it would toughen me up. But that was a whole other beast cause apart from bullying and the frame of mind and disposition it gives you for the rest of your life, I could never feel accepted and the wrong people at the wrong time wronged me every step of my career and I realized that I never had my moment to heal from the trauma of being bullied and the scars from not wanting to be alive anymore and I never had my moment of validation and triumph. I watch this video seeing you with the talent you actually have and not even knowing that you deserved to be on this show and the fact your mother believed in you wasn't enough until the judges themselves proved it to you that you don't need validation you actually deserve to be there, and that motivates me. I don't blame you for not trusting your mother's opinion of you, or anyone else's because when your bullied you learn to not put too much stock in the positive things people say to you because the negative has always been the loudest and most persistent opinions about you. I am the same way and seek validation that I am not the things my bullies called me my whole life even though the people closest to me reassure me, and that's a poisonous mindset. Hopefully this proves to you that you don't need validation from anyone, and the validation from the ones closest to you if any is enough at least. I'm on my journey to healing and I pray yours is a success as well if you see this man!!

I just have to say as a woodwind player, achieving those sustained high notes without squeaking, and without running out of air, and with proper embouchure is amazing. He’s a natural, you can hear the hours of practice and dedication poured into his skill!❤
He wanted to end his own life, and that statement alone was enough to make his mom emotional. But instead, he found strength in something he's incredible at. Instead of losing a son, that mom watched him succeed and make her the proudest mom ever. Just beautiful.
The most touching line," you can be as loud as you like." The feeling of releasing all that talent

He is pouring out his emotion into that saxophone you could hear every bit of it, it breaks my heart to hear how people get bullied for just not fitting in or looking like everyone else. To me I think that's what makes you special makes him better God had a purpose for him, and he definitely showed it on the stage. I have so much respect for him, so many gets swallowed up by the darkness of pain and hurt that we can't find a way out, I was fortunate enough to overcome mine, and I'm a proud that he overcame his. I pray that succeeds everything he sets out to do in life. ❤️
“All those bullies are gonna watch you succeed” such a powerful line.
When his mom runs out to hug him with the confetti falling its literally a storybook moment. All the times she posted his videos on youtube promoting her son to finally get the recognition for his talent. That moment is too perfect. Love everything about this audition. Good luck Avery!!

@@AB-nk5wv Let me tell you, musical practice, does not sound like a perfect finished song, it's rather very annoying to people trying to do other things actually. He played well but it wasn't amazing sorry, his story that got him here is what is amazing. If I had to live next door to someone playing a musical instrument all the time, I'd be very angry also, I don't want to hear that noise when I'm doing other things. Music is very mood altering for me, so it really personally affects me. I love music but only when I want to hear it, and what I want to hear/feel like. Nobody likes to be disturbed when they're doing something else, maybe something like studying, or working? This young man needs a place he can play in peace and express himself, while not driving other people insane. I hope he is able to achieve that.
That’s definitely his calling. As a piano player, I LOVE when someone plays an instrument at this level. It’s like singing to me.
You can tell he’s so passionate about playing the saxophone, he plays so well and plays with LOVE
My mom said that even if Avery doesn’t win the show, he alright won which is so true because Avery managed to overcome bullying to become a wonderful person and musician. He’s definitely going places regardless of what happened on this show.

@@millardf452 First off, he is 21, not 25. Just a couple years out of highschool. That’s recent enough for his experiences to still affect him. Your claim that his story of getting bullied to the point of suicide is “pathetic” truly shows how incapable you are of love or compassion. What if it was your son or daughter born differently, and driven to the point of suicide? Would you still talk like that? Cheers were simply to pump him up because he was nervous - there are cheers on every act, I’m not sure why you’re so upset about it. Perhaps you just loathe any sign of positivity. What kind of act is 10 seconds long? What do you even mean by your statement? Of course he wanted to show off his skills that’s the point of the whole fcking show😂 And if you claim this is “unremarkable” you’re clearly not a musician… you’re just a middle aged divorced man working a depressing 9-5 wasting your sad life away. And for the record, this man has more character and talent than you will ever have. You can have your own opinion of the show without ruining everyone’s day, bud😁
