The AGT: All-Star transformed Hozier's soulful ballad into a jazzy tune.
America's Got Talent winner and AGT: All-Stars finalist Kodi Lee is no stranger to a rousing cover of an iconic track, and he has safely brought Hozier's "Take Me to Church" to new heights.
Lee loves covering power ballads, and AGT fans love listening. Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror," Train's "Drops of Jupiter," and the late Tina Turner's "The Best" are just a few iconic songs within Lee's recent roster of jaw-dropping covers, which the AGT legend shares on Instagram. On July 1, Lee took to the app to share his electric rendition of Hozier's iconic love ballad.
Lee fearlessly tweaked the tune to make way for his ability to perfectly belt any note. His silky vocals and passionate piano playing steal the spotlight time and time again as he continues to prove that he can sing virtually any song at an All-Stars level.
"Happy Saturday Guys! Who remembers this song!? Thank you for all the awesome song suggestions 😎✨," Lee captioned the mind-blowing snippet on July 1. "What do you want to hear next!?👇 #takemetochurch #hozier #coversong #kodilee #kodileerocks #agtwinner."
