I feel so sad for the singer that lost both of his brothers and the strength he has to go on is unbelievable. God bless him and his family for their loss.
I've watched this performance of Kelly's millions of times over the years and everytime I still well up with tears, what acsong, what an absolutely AMAZING artist. Fan from her Idols audition, still a fan
Imagine being the man who inspired this song and then finding A way to be rotten enough they get divorced. Could only imagine having a wife love you that much. And the dude still fucked it up
@@christopherholfeld8137 That song personally resonates so much that I’ve never been able to hear it without crying. I was so thrilled for her and the family she created. So, when he turned out to be a major *turd* that song hurt in a new way. It was so amazing when she recreated it as a testament of love to herself. Have you heard it?
You aren't alone either. I couldn't imagine. My brother is deployed to the middle east for the second time and I'm scared shitless. I pray for your family that's never something you should have to endure. Rest easy for your brother ❤
@@adduer4375 thank you. I don’t blame you for being scared shitless.. ❤️ I’ll pray for you and your brother and family as well. May he return safe. 🙏🏻🩵
Definitely hits a bit harder after my dad was diagnosed with Leukimia. He is by the grace of God in remission. But God does a scare like that make you rethink everything in your lie. I am sorry to those in the comments who have lost their fathers and I hope they know they are smiling down on you right now
Its been a rough year.. i lost my best friend and partner of 14 years... Im lost a lot of the time recently but i have to remember that i have a lot of love And support around me whether i like it or not.
Bro...that Iam Tongi and James Blunt performance had me in tears. Massive respect for that lad for chasing the dream while always thinking about his old man. I hope he's doing okay. Blunt was fantastic as well. Supported Iam so well during what must've been an incredibly difficult performance for him.
@@maryannkinley5802Yes. My first son drowned himself😢. Forever 44. He was in big trouble & feared life more than death. I know the Lord wanted Ty to choose life but He was with him, He never left him and He took him to Himself. Sooo painful nonetheless - but I have hope. A friend of mine lost 2 of her 4 kids to suicide. She & her husband have hope in Jesus Christ as well. 🕊️✝️💜
Is my 2nd time watching Kelly Clarkson and I'm crying like crazy. Is an amazing rendition. Kelly breaking during the song made it much better if you like crying.
Iam Tongi and James Blunt was one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever seen. The way James became his dad in the 2nd half of the song and he carried Iam through it was so beautiful! James is a true class act!!
My god this is so sad. So much heartache people carry around every day and thank you to the artists who put their hearts and soul into their music so that we can relate.
The young man who was traded for a car… then those people couldn’t care for him, then got adopted by a beautiful soul, then she died of cancer is heartbreaking ! How can one human being bear SO MUCH PAIN AND DISAPPOINTMENT? God bless him.
Shout out to ol girls dad for doing his job even when her mom didn't. Im in a similar situation, except I have only 3 kids whose mother left us in 2010. March 14th of next year my youngest will turn 18 and i will be able to know that I did my job for the last 15 yrs with zero help or support from their mother. It was hard but worth every second!!
Iam and James… heartbreaking performance…has to be one of the most emotional performances of any talent competition ever! ❤ Love that James supported Iam through the song even though the emotion clearly affected him too (look at the shake in his hand as he reaches for Iam). ❤
Yeah not that I haven't lost others but I'm having a hard enough time just getting over the loss of my cat 4 1/2 months ago. Partly because of the way the end of his life went that I missed the last week of his life and I never used to leave him but I got injured and was too scared to not be able to take care of him and come home the day I did I had to put him down the next day. I should have fought harder to come home.. something I'm going to struggle with for the rest of my life no matter what anyone tells me
@@beckykaye7414 Please forgive yourself, Becky. You’re not meant to stay in this pain. Kittie will be waiting for you when you cross the Rainbow Bridge. It won’t go amiss to TRY to forgive yourself. Would your precious kitty ever want you to feel so sad? 🕊️✝️💜
To the girls whose mother left the family.... just wow. You go, girl. Never stop. Take that pain and turn it into your future, sweetie. You are so beautiful. From a mom who is still fighting for my own girls, I am so sorry. 😢
I saw this immediately after the screen refreshed after I posted my comment about my mom. Thank you for holding your commitment to being a mom above all else. You have no idea how much it will not only provide your own children the foundation to benefit the world, but it will also benefit their children bc their parents will have the tools/abilities they wouldn't have had, otherwise. And so on, and so forth... I try my best, but I would be a better mother had I not lost my own at 8. I also don't have that unconditional safe space to fall into when I struggle. I'm not alone, but only a mom can provide certain things. Things you're providing. I didn't intend on a long comment. I just wanted to express how much your commitment to motherhood matters... in ways you don't even know, even to ppl you'll never get to meet.
I worked with Don when he was married and having kids. Life went on and I saw him for the first time in. Years with this idol ! Don you raised people children. Great father Don is
I tried not to cry but it didn’t work. 😭 lots of feelings when I heard the young lady singing “how can a mother “ all these songs on here are heart breaking.
Kelly ❤ Piece By Piece is one of my favourite Kelly songs and this live version on Idol just brings me to tears every single damned time. 😭❤️ Kelly has never hidden who she is behind a false facade. She has stayed real and connected to life and herself, and as such we feel so much more connected to her and her songs!!! ❤
The lost of his brothers is heartbreaking mental health is something that is real and sometimes ppl can hide it and it’s never the loved ones fault losing them to suicide it’s hard not to blame ourselves Nick ur going through life and keeping your brothers alive in ur heart sending prayers ur voice is beautiful ❤
This one rips my heart out, cause my own father left when I was 6 yrs old. I can count on 1 hand how many times he showed up in my life for no more than a month at a time before he died. I was a daddy's girl so it gives me so many issues.
Omg I completely fell apart when the guy that lost his two bothers told his story my heart breaks for him and his family 😢 on a positive note he has such an amazing voice
Wow! Hearts of survivors ❤beautiful voices! Looking down on all of you ❤ Such strength! Ty all of you! They are so proud! Run with it but ty! For your strength
omg this song gets me Everytime I hear and and Keith Urban s face he's such a genuine guy.. I'm 41 and my father was never in my life don't even know his grandkids or know that my daughter is due anyday with his first grandbaby my first grandson Everytime I hear this song it gets me ❤️
As one of 4 brothers and all Veterans, the overwhelming feeling of letting one of them down just cut to my soul. I can't imagine the pain of losing one but then to have to take on the added tormenting and pain of suicide brings to the survivors. God Bless their family and hope they are RIP.
All of these amazing ppl are such a blessing from God. They have been tried by fire and came out shiny as brass. Such talent such character to rise above the losses that are so great that regular folks couldn't come back from. Hats off and many tears later thank you all for sharing the amazing ppl you have become
I try to put on the big hard man look in life. I then put on stuff like this and find myself sniffling all over the place..😢 love stuff like this.. awesome..❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I really feel for Kelly. In my situation, my mother was the one who abandoned us. She only comes back for money, and I was the pawn? I begged her, I'm now crying. It effected me and I have trust issues, intimacy issues. I was so happy for Kelly tears of joy that she was happily married with a man who was there for her and her children. I am now crying harder for she broke the curse, married and had children. Sadly she is divorced now and this song is a traumatic experience. Kelly love you so much stay strong and carry on! Cheers from Hong Kong.
I don’t know how one parent can deal with the suicide of one son, let alone suicide of a second son within years of the first. That’s the deepest pain a parent can ever endure. Ever.
@@svrngdYeah, but she is basically saying her husband (ex now) showed her that a man could be great because her father wasn’t. So it is sad the fact the marriage didn’t work for her. But I believed she is ok now.
McKenna’s voice is gorgeous, her story touches me as I am also adopted. In my case my birth half brother found me first then passed the details to my birth father & mother (they were together and married by then). My adoptive parents were always up front that they chose me and that they would always support me finding my birth family if it ever came to be. I feel so lucky to have both sides in my life…I have 2 full siblings (older sister and younger brother) and 8 half siblings on my birth side + 3 adoptive siblings…+ step siblings….big family overall! ❤ It is hard to keep up with my birth family as they are on the other side of the world (I’m in Australia, they are in the UK) but thank God for FB & Messenger!! 😂 My favourite memory is of my adoptive father and birth father meeting, hugging each other and my birth father thanking my adoptive father for loving me and raising me when he couldn’t. ❤ I have lost them both in the last few years and the photo of the two of them with their arms around each other is in pride of place on my lounge room wall. ❤
Geez. D.J.s song I can relate to so much. I was in my late 30s when my Mum left my Dad. It broke me so much because I knew she was leaving and I couldn't say anything. I'm now 61 and the guilt and bitterness is still with me. The whole thing traumatised me so much. Soooo bad.
My heart goes out to the guy who lost both of his brothers to suicide. His older brother was born the same day I was born, September 4th. My message to everyone, hold on to your loved ones, very tightly Never let go ❤ God Bless 🙌
I’ve always loved James Blunt but Iam ur voice is beautiful the emotions of it an ur life shows through it I can’t wait to hear your voice on the radio one day
Kelly clarkson you are not alone not without me because you are my favorite, You know how much I love her for who she is humble resilient strong independent passionate
Nick ❤😢 OMG…the pain this guy has been through yet he still stands strong to represent the brothers he lost. Not a fan of the song choice but he has a great voice. ❤

Everytime I watch it i cry😢 thinking of my late (step) dad

James blunt wouldn’t shake of nerves , he would shake of feeling
The way Keith was in a puddle of tears during Kelly’s song…that hit him somewhere very deep.
Saying good bye is always with you.
And the way Jlo was faking it. Soulless creature
That garbage guy is a true country boy, we look at life a bit differently. We're just happy for the day and the chance, no matter the outcome.
