Madonna's Like a Prayer cover by Sainted
Sainted, a singing group that appeared on AGT season 18, delivered a heartwarming performance of Madonna's Like a Prayer. Following Simon's Golden Buzzer, Sainted proved their abilities in the Semi-Finals and now shocked everyone with their potential in the newly released episode.
The NC-based choir's singing style is a mixture of gospel and pop, which is why they chose Madonna's Like a Prayer, a song that reflects Sainted's background and musical talents.
According to Fannie Mae, the co-founder of Sainted, it was their Dream Team mentor Simon Cowell who helped them select the song.
She told NBC Insider on February 12, 2024:
“Our mentor, Simon, has had a great hand in our song selection this time. Coming out of the last round … he felt like America didn’t get to know us.”
Sainted transformed Like a Prayer into their own version, adjusting to the catchy melody and harmonies, Sainted impressed their mentor with their capabilities. Simon said:
“I don't think anyone's done a great cover version of it yet, I actually feel I’m literally in heaven. Seriously, I have seen how hard this group has worked from day one.… I love everything about you.”
Kodi Lee’s Version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody
Following, Sainted's cover Kodi Lee, a musician from AGT: All Stars is also an AGT season 14 winner. As a singer and pianist, Kodi is multi-talented, in the semi-finals his tribute performance to his mother garnered a lot of appreciation from the judges.
Howie used his golden buzzer to steal Kodi from Simon and make him a part of his Dream Team.
The America's Got Talent: Fantasy League finalist, Kodi Lee, twisted the rock and roll song Bohemian Rhapsody and changed it into his version. Kodi's mentor Howie was “so proud” of him, he said:
“You take an iconic Queen song and you Kodi-fy it, which I think is amazing. You’re a star, you always deliver. I’m so proud that I could be the mentor of your Dream Team.”
Mel B. and Heidi appreciated Kodi on his song choice as well but they both agreed on preferring Kodi's original songs over covers. Mel B. shared her thoughts:
“Even though that was a good song choice, I love it when you do your original songs so I can hear your vocals, your heart, your passion. I just want you to be you.”
Simon, on the other hand, believed, that exploring new ways to make every song his own is Kodi's specialty, after singing two original songs in the last two episodes, singing a cover won't do any harm, Simon suggested:
"What I am fascinated with is no matter what you suggest to Kodi, you always do your own take on it. You’re always so interesting to watch."
