A Voice Like No Other: Stephanie Rainey Dominates AGT 2024!

[@southrnlvingsc]

I usually cringe when people audition with their original songs, but this was so perfect. Deeply moving and beautifully sung.

[@dominicspadavecchio6865]

“I’ll hold your hand until it goes cold” what a powerful line to start the song. That grabs you immediately. Beautiful! Good luck.

[@helenyelen4660]

She had me right there

Same, Andy, our son, was at home with us when he passed on with his Jesus on his 5th birthday... 41 yrs ago.... I still whisper, please don't go

Singing is about transmitting emotions to the listener. We felt it dear! I lost my wife of 47 years recently, and I also held her hand as she gently passed to let her know she wasn't alone. This song made me think of her.

[@robinseals2144]

Sorry for your loss ❤My dad passed away almost 2 years ago. My parents were married 52 years now I'm trying to keep my mom going and healthy

[@MelodyRose124]

I'm so sorry for you loss.

[@muzikizfun]

@MelodyRose124 Thank you. It has been a sad time for our family, but we also remember the 47 years of blessing we had.

[@auntlala4971]

Bless you ❤

[@johnultimate1161]

I lost my first wife to cancer on January 1st 1996. We had 20 beautiful years together. This song was beautiful to hear but difficult for me too. I have a wonderful wife and life now, but the past is still very important to me. Your song can help others understand the power of a loss of a loved one. It is difficult for me to type this behind all of these tears even though it has been over 28 years. You never forget a true love. Thank you for putting your grief into such a beautiful song.

[@jillcole4936]

You are beautiful human sadly I lost mine to his old GF after almost 30 yrs hate to say but think it would have been if I had lost him when he had Open Heart Surgery 29 yrs ago...Blessings to you

[@celiajohnson3071]

Amen❤

That is one of the most emotional performances I've ever heard, and I have heard a lot. Unbelievably beautiful, sad and painful. She's brilliant. 30 years ago my brother lost his 6-month-old son. Cameron used to lay on his chest while my brother played Steve Perry's Missing You. He loved the song. It would sooth him and help him fall asleep. When Cammie died, my brother buried Steve Perry's CD with him. This song brings me back to that time. Sleep easy, Cammie.

[@Telewest792]

What a beautiful song and what a beautiful voice God has given her . The world is a little better for talent like hers.

[@lyellclare9365]

Not sure how something that is purely made up helped her sing like she does, but I guess if you believe this religious crap then OK.

[@JesusizLordovall]

Her opening line had tears flowing right away as I just pulled up in front of my urologist for my stage 4 prostate cancer check up. Beautiful voice, beautiful song.

[@caravanrose]

[@VoiceAndPianoByChristaFord]

The Lord works in mysterious ways! He is carrying you through!😢

Oh my God! Why hasn’t this song blown the charts?

[@trishnemeth7035]

Lost my only son last year. I want to go home. But my only daughter still needs her mom, so I learn to live with a shattered heart. Boy, this song brought it back.

[@tonymurray814]

U are so brave. May God comfort you in your mind and heart!!😘

[@JanetHood-vj9ox]

Be brave love.. and, you are correct, your daughter needs you so don’t give up…. I know it’s overwhelming but you’ve got this. Sending the biggest hug your way.

[@edwardtelles1956]

One's passing is the First Day of a Life without Pain...An Eternal Life with the Lord . SEEK HIM while He can be found... He's not going anywhere... But we are . Choose Eternal Life in the Christ Jesus ✝️

[@sharonstotts8902]

Lost my husband almost a year ago and your song put words to my grief. Thank you for that. It’s just beautiful

[@happyinparis]

Same. I lost my husband of 33 years. I was with him as he died. When he took his last breath, I wanted to die, too. We were raising our grandchildren, and I knew I had to find the strength to carry on. Sometimes, I feel so weak, but I'm doing the best I can. I do think he would be proud of me, though. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a pretty good idea of what you are going through. I know this song made us both cry, but it perfectly puts into words what we went through and how much we loved our husbands. God bless you.

[@bertblue9683]

You're so lucky

Unfortunately you have to attend those horrible Diddy parties to get to #1. 😢

[@amberkorn2405]

This is a song written and sung from the heart and soul for your nephew and his short life that obviously and profoundly affected your life. Your song and the way you performed It, brought the audience, judges, and people watching at home in to your pain and through that the healing process begins. I hope your song goes viral and I would love to hear more from you. Good Luck 😊❤

I could barely get through this. We lost a baby in my family at 4 months old. First heart surgery at 5 days old and another at 3 weeks old. He lived out his 4 months in NICU never making it home and only once allowed to be taken out into the sunlight. It was tough but I will say his gift to us was the love his presence brought forth. ❤

[@grannykim4387]

Love what Simon had to say ♥️

[@KURTSSPOT]

( I’ll hold your had till it goes cold )- that was enough for me - so brutally real - heart and soul . God Bless you

[@rsaville2006]

"On Joy and Sorrow" says: "When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been a great joy." I told a friend once that the extent of her sorrow was a tribute to her father. It was a statement of the amount of joy he had brought to her life. Stephanie: that little guy was only around for a short time, but there was more than enough of him to put some joy to your life.

[@PeskerinneaWright]

This is this song that I sent to my mom in 2014 she was in and I didn’t recognize her anymore her side. I told her it’s OK mom you can let go now she let go. My sister Patricia was on the right left side of her and she let go when I cried mom please don’t let go. I need you, guide me the rest of my life life I felt to let my mom go that would be a peace. God knows I didn’t want to. I was greedy and selfish. She was on her last leg.

[@PeskerinneaWright]

I told my mom I would pick her up on Friday and bring her from Virginia Beach. Baltimore should’ve went sooner. I never knew I was gonna bring her back in her her to Zannino‘s problem. I feel so guilty. I should left sooner. My mom might still be alive. She’s such a beautiful woman in Italian I’ll complexion. Never had one wrinkle 83 years old. She was such a happy soul. I’m so sorry mom I miss you every day of my life. Please forgive me.
