FIRST TIME LISTENING TO | Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece (Live)

[@brendasimmons8149]

She was referring to her father in the song and the new man that she referred to in the song was her husband. They are now as of like a year ago I think divorced because he was a no good SOB, but she is healthier than ever and continues to sing like the angel she is. she has a fantastic catalog of music that you should deep dive into.

[@Bremen25]

I think he needs Love So Soft, don't you?

[@Maryaliece]

Her husband learned how to be a money grabber from his father with Reba !

[@ryankuykendall2010]

She's looking so amazing lately, hope she finds a man that deserves her!

[@joshuacoldwater]

Her new version of this song- crushes me. She changed the lyrics and just again, wow.

[@andybricks576]

Her Husband is a SOB & a SLOB, Kelly had a wounded soul & he took advantage of it! Sad that when she wrote & performed this song she ACTUALLY thought her husband was a decent man but no he is no better if not worse than her father, w**kers!

[@kaleighcoutermarsh4922]

She has now changed the words because her ex husband also did her wrong. Now its all about empowering herself. She's so strong and beautiful.

[@christinesanchez2141]

Love the way she change the words independent woman

[@kathymoffatt3960]

That coach was not Billy Ray Cyrus…. That was Keith Urban and it tore him up too!

[@SWINEsuxx]

I couldn’t breathe when I heard “Miley’s dad!”

[@PoppyJ1419]

So sad. The kind man that stayed in the song ended up leaving too and tried to steal all of her money. I hope the cycle is broken with the next man lucky enough to love Miss Kelly Clarkson❤🙏❤

[@Lulabee2024]

He was talking about Harry Connick Jr. not Keith...pretty sure he knows Keith lol

[@benvalenza1977]

Almost threw this phone

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

KEITH URBAN HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO JUDGE SINCE. 9 YEARS AGO.

[@SMeow-zr2ho]

This live performance of this always makes me cry. 😭 I love Kelly. Such a beautiful voice.

[@alexandreleite2541]

I m 52 and I am crying my eyes out. No matter how old one is, the pain that abandonment causes never goes away. I hate the word bastard, but that is what I am. Luckily, my grandpa raised, and was the one I called dad. I miss him. The biological one is alive, but couldn’t care less about me. Anyhow, I proud my last name was given by my grandpa/dad. ❤ I miss him.

[@ChefBarb58]

THANK GOD FOR GRANDPARENTS...💞

[@Sassyglbeauty]

All little girls who had daddy’s who left, bawl everytime they hear this. At least this abandoned girl does.

[@Bremen25]

I can survive hearing the song, but watching Kelly do it live makes me SOB

[@meganwoida3475]

Not just the ones who had Dad's that left, but 9nes who had Dad's that stayed and are still in thier lives. That's the incredible power of Kelly and why she is our first American Idol.

[@JustatypicalMILLENIAL]

My dad loved me and served my country. He did his best but he couldn't do life after. All of us girls who just loved our daddies and lost them. This song just gets to ya!

[@Lulabee2024]

FACTS

[@Danielle-DNA82]

For real. 💔

[@nikkiouthereonmyown7371]

She was talking about her father and she was talking about her husband that she loved very much. He ended up screwing her over too for as much as 24 mill and she just had to take him back to court to get back money. Kelly is one of the GREATEST artists of our time she can LITERALLY SING ANYTHING check out her KELLYOAKES from her talk shows. One of the best people in Hollywood and been screwed over every step of the way BUT HAS FOUGHT FOR HERSELF EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!! I'm so glad she has Reba to lean on at least ❤

[@starleanaholmes3506]

People stay sleeping on Kelly. She’s amazing.

[@dherald1532]

This performance always reduces me to a puddle of tears. Hearing her emotion and need and hurt is always so touching

[@stacynaus2761]

I’ve watched this about 100 times and I cry every time.

[@MetaphoricallySpeaking2U]

Kelly can sing ANYTHING & many artists say “guess I can’t sing that anymore bc she owns it now” after hearing her version bc they’re blown away. Aretha paid homage to her & there is a video montage on TY someone put together of her doing Aretha songs. 🔥🔥🔥 Her voice is incredible. You should also find her videos singing w/Pink. 2 under-appreciated powerhouses that hit in an indescribable way.

[@kristinbuhl3996]

She redid this during her tour in vegas( I think it’s on YT) it’s amazing!!! She turned the tables.

[@aprilarlidge2807]

My father left when I was 4. Never cared to visit or care. I intended an olive branch to him for my wedding when I was 26. It was always my job to schedule things. Now, I am 44 and he stopped caring and we haven't spoken in 2 years. They really can burn holes in you and discard you like nothing.

[@erinh8298]

I have watched this more times than I can count, this particular performance. And I’m never desensitized. I literally cry every time I watch it.

[@tiffanyrayburn6845]

I love her since day 1 on American Idol!!!! The Cream always rises to the top baby!!! She set the tone as the 🥇 1st🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@SuperDave71176k]

She created her own mantra with another song of hers called what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.Shes recovered and living proof of it now.

[@alanacorrea9267]

the song referenced her father leaving her, and her husband (now ex). Listen to her updated version of the song! Her new album with Lighthouse and Mine is amazing.

[@dpeacock8975]

I’ve watched this many times over the years and I still get emotional every single time. It’s such a sad song and you can’t get any more real than that performance. Love Kelly! ❤

[@gdhaney136]

The saddest part is that her husband (who she wrote this song for) and her husbands father, married her and Reba to make money. They used them and continue to keep trying to do so. Kelly deserves the world. Trevor Noah made a joke that singers were afraid Kelly would sing their song because she always sings it better. He's right. She's gold.

[@irenegaruba48]

Oprah is the smart one. Never married.👍

[@donnalarson7818]

I saw this coming on the show Giants... tribute to Reba..... years ago . Check this out.. you'll see what I did . I said watch Kelly marrying, Norvils son.. They both suck

[@starleanaholmes3506]

She’s so amazing. The world sleeps on Kelly. Her voice is amazing and so is she as a whole.

[@KE-hr4sb]

The "you" in the song ("All I remember is your back") is referring to her dad, who left when she was six. Before Idol, she flew out to visit him and tried to rekindle a relationship, but he wasn't interested. Post Idol, which she won, he comes back...asking for money. The "he" in the song ("Piece by piece he collected me up off the ground where you abandon things") referred to her (now ex) husband. Who sadly, pulled her dad, divorced her, wiped out half of her money, blah blah. She has since changed the lyrics to this song. "I just walk away, when they ask for money." She also wrote another song that references it, and one of the lyrics is "Piece by piece, I found out my hero is me."

[@SherryDocchio]

She has one of those God given voices that doesn't need any enhancements and she is looking fantastic right now after a major weight loss. Thank you for this reaction.

[@JJlovesPrince]

She changed the lyrics after getting divorced from the “new man.” Here’s a performance of the new version which is so empowering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4upkmaJe8aHi7Mfeature=shared

[@crystaldunson9578]

Ty for posting this! I love the new version!

[@SuperLiamsmommy]

You should listen to Piece by Piece the Healed Version!! She's her own hero in the new version

[@robertg.2022]

And rock Hudson as well!

[@glennburch1081]

I tear up EVERYTIME I see this performance.Thanks for reacting.

[@thedivinefemme5285]

I first saw this back in 2016, and it still makes me cry when I watch it now...and I have a wonderful father. But man, it hits you right in the feels.

[@msmrsro]

The OG American Idol! Been a fan since then. She’s awesome. A good human too.

[@stacysmith7246]

PLEASE,,you need to do more Kelly Clarkson songs❤

[@jennifercompton5503]

She has 2 songs that I love 1. Don't Rush (CMA featuring Vince Gill) 2. I Don't Think About You. You really should react to these

[@KarenHughes-kq6or]

This is about her father

[@deborahwolz1628]

Her newest Album 'Chemistry', came out last June and covers the Arc of her relationship with her ex husband. A great Album, and of course Kelly always brings the feelings and emotions into her songs. Such an incredible singer, songwriter and human. Would love to hear more reactions of her music. Would also love your reaction to Drake White. Ones of my favorites is Makin' Me Look Good Again. Thanks!

[@gdhaney136]

I am so glad I subbed for TayTay, and I will continue to StayStay for these kinds of reactions!

[@AndiMarie]

Hi. This song is how I found you just now. I love watching you react. You get it! New subscriber!

[@Mssteph239]

Kelly truly has the best voice goin ❤

[@pamelabest970]

She is extremely talented. She can sing anything and is great at harmonizing. I think she is under rated . I know that she has a talk show but she would be great in concerts.

[@ChuckRagland]

It actually happened, at 6 years old her father divorced her mother in just left. And then when she won American idol, and made something of herself, he came back stage at one of her concerts, wanted to come back like nothing happened.

[@samedmundson6470]

Most people recognize the verse "sung" by the new husband but fail to realize the last bit is sung from Kelly's mothers perspective. God this song....flawless.

[@tammymyers9828]

Great reaction. I appreciate the Respect you showed Kelly❤

[@staciejones-ce6mz]

Such a great song, she is so strong. She now has a new version of this

[@dejones12]

She was talking about her ex-husband saving her in the past but you need to hear the new healed lyrics version from her show in Vegas.

[@KCnLex]

I love music so much. You can feel all the heartache of her childhood as if you were there. She has a rare gift, a beautiful smile and talent, not just as a musician but as an all around entertainer. I try not to get stuck in my favorites, because there is so much new talent that I will miss if I do. I am glad I didn't miss this one.

[@barbararuss3881]

My grandma used to tell me that any man can be a sperm donor. Remember sperm donors always leave the cup behind. It takes a real man to be a Father. The sperm donor responsible for me left before I was 6 months old. Of course I have no memory of that. My mother remarried and when my stepfather took over, I had a REAL DAD. He never treated me like I was just a step daughter. I have pictures of him holding me and I was a tiny baby. My blood father showed up when I was 4 then again when I was 15, and when I was 27. This time he needed 50K for his wife to have surgery. And the final answer is NO I WOULD NOT GIVE YOU 50 cent. I never saw him again. My step father was my DAD, My Heart, My protector, My partner in crime, My hunting partner. My Teacher. HE WAS MY LIFE. He passed on October 2021 from COVID Pneumonia. RIP DAD LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MUCHES💔💔💔😢😢😢

[@christalsanders3525]

Hi Ab you should check out Kelly Pickler CMA 2007 I wonder. I think you will love that one to

[@sherrywinkler420]

Always Stay Real Kelly We love you❤️

[@jessicaegyed-uk8yi]

Sir, do not disrespect Mr. Keith Urban like that! 0:44

[@Lecours28]

What kills me every time i hear this version is that the label had released it in this poppy tune that made this amazing writing disappear in a catchy beat! It was MADE to be like this!

[@Caffeineandcreating]

7:11 If you like Kelly, check out her fairly new song called Lighthouse ❤️

[@BohoFreedom]

I ain't got time to cry today..................love it.

[@charlenebowers4817]

The sonic gets me the time. My dad didn’t abandon me. He actually help me from my mother back in the 60s long story. No one needs to know, but this song hits Home because he took me just despite my mom and he never gave me the love of father gives his daughter that I’ve seen in so many of my friends, etc. he told me way too many times I was not the Daughter he wanted and why can I be like the girls that I grew up with or even my cousin just always degrading and anytime he did something and he would say he was proud of me it just laid flat with me along with my stepmom abusive and I sit back and I wonder what did I do and why couldn’t I get the love unfortunately at 64 years old I still wonder I try to move on the problem having a father like that appear like that as much as you wanna break the mold wind up with that and I’ve had so many good men that I dated in the past but for some reason I didn’t stay I guess cause I didn’t know what true love was so I wind up with that wolf and sheep clothing.. but I try to stay strong for myself and my daughter, who is so much stronger than me even though her father and I are divorced. I made her your brother saw him all the time and had the relationship with him that they should and she’s her father’s world, God bless all the daughters❤❤

[@jamieUSG1978]

Wow powerful, and she wrote it!wow

[@msmithrandir561]

Great Lyrics Kelly

[@kimzwolinski9919]

This gets me every time. 💔

[@amandaheimbach7283]

She has a re revised version it’s good.

[@Rkbmomma]

She was due to give birth in a couple days from this performance if I remember correctly. Hormones galore!

[@dsusan17]

Great reaction to a great song.

[@sophroniastopher15]

All in the feels❤️. But then...

[@Nem01]

Nice reaction.

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Kelly and Keith

[@barbaradelvirginia7267]

She is talking to her Father !!!

[@dakotachristensen3397]

“daddy dance with me” by Krystal Keith, Toby Keith’s daughter

[@JD-ok8bu]

You should react to her 2023 live version in vegas, with updated lyrics!

[@dharmawannab]

Sadly the man she sang about also would let her down and he for sure asked for money from Kelly in the divorce in the way of Spousal support amongst other reasons for demanding money. I think there was even a point he tried to claim he is the reason her career is where it is as his dad(who is Reba's ex) managed her for a while. Yeah Kelly is a star because she's Kelly!

[@Ricky48888]

You should react to more Kelly. Have you watched her Kellyoke's on her daytime talk show?

[@Bremen25]

"I'm not gonna cry" Kelly Fans: 😂😂😂

[@vanessaluciano2041]

She was speaking about her father

[@ninaelisaduvi]

This was my song to my ex husband. I’ve cried hearing it since the first time i heard it in 2016 bc he did that for me even though we divorced I will always be thankful for saving me.

[@kathimclaughlin6060]

My daughter danced with her Stepfather to this song. They saw it as him picking up the pieces after her POS sperm donor basically abandoned her. The last part of the song, she wanted me to dance with her because she felt that was who was and always be by her side no matter what.

[@yourenotmysupervisor9311]

You should listen to the live performance of this song updated after her divorce.

[@amandagoodtime7751]

Reba is kellys ex husbands ex step mom because his father did something similar to Reba Kelly has another version of this song here’s the link if you want to see it she sang it in Vegas it’s way better she changed the lyrics kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4upkmaJe8aHi7Msi=43tXUkFEXQlnPY-2

[@coversbyroy15]

This song could apply in the case of a really good stepfather. At first, that's what I thought the story of the song was about.

[@cindyphifer970]

You should watch her cover of Uo To Mountain on Idol Gives Back

[@jacklopez1046]

This song is about her dad leaving the family.

[@sacredlovetarot1971]

If you need a pick me up song after this, try Picking wildflowers by Keith Anderson

[@bebedenham362]

That was Keith Urban, not Billy Ray :)

[@DanielleInTheWild]

She is pretty much way past this belief dynamic, as the man she was talking about was no good and she has reclaimed that power of putting HERSELF together.

[@tammyjackson3113]

Her husband turned out to be pure trash, she is rid of him now if he will quit trying to get her money.

[@GryLi]

She was cast aside by her father

[@JillCrowe55]

He's not there now! They are now divorced

[@Bremen25]

As bad as it all ended, he healed a lot of the shit her dad did, and she got her little girl out of it too 🥹

[@26shedan]

@@Bremen25 yet, mismanaged and fought for her money.

[@msmrsro]

He turned into a jerk and did her dirty. She’s happily divorced now and thriving.

[@akramh2785]

Do more kelly clarkson please ! try some of her kellyokes !

[@elenapatrick8116]

Actually yes her father left het. Ut shes talking about her step father that stepped in and showed her what a father was supposed to be like

[@inmyReputation-Era]

She wasn’t talking about a stepfather. She was talking about her now ex husband.

[@Murfloveslife]

Billy Ray Cyrus is actually Keith Urban he's Australian and a country singer but definitely not Miley's dad!! Keith is even married to Nicole Kidman!

[@diandiaz9026]

It’s kind of a catch 22 she wrote this song and sing it or I don’t know if she wrote it but the dad is now not in the picture they divorced so it’s kind of bitter sweet that way. Hopefully the dad is involved in the kids lives and didn’t do anything like her dad and her which is her R

[@idrysrani]

You need to do “Anyone” by Demi Lovato the Grammys 2020 live performance!!!

[@donnalarson7818]

Honey,, info up! Got almost everything wrong.. but, hell of a song she sang. INFO UP

[@michellemiles9966]

Sadly ironic that she had such an ugly divorce ahead of her and he would try to take her money. She's doing great now it appears. The best way to get back at an ex is to thrive without them. 👏👏👏 Go Kelly!

[@barbaradelvirginia7267]

So now she still sings the song but with different words that do not speak of her husband

[@InvalidatedSyd]

Please also react to Kelly Clarkson’s live performances of tracks from her new album Chemistry.. Lighthouse (pop ballad. Song she wrote when she was deciding to call it quits) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5bdiIuAgK99fZosi=g1oAnosgivFRJrZg Rock Hudson (pop rock. Sequel to Piece by piece and Because of you) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHfEd3eYas6Hfrssi=QgUI2v8peIs311No Red Flag Collector (Country western rock pop song. Probably the most angry song she recorded) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXK2dZ1notmErs0si=AmuoZqLNSlutTFHe Favorite Kind of High (Dance pop. Which describes how she felt at the beginning of their relationship) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5Ldd4B5n8eUlaMsi=CoyiM6_BUQmMOoUl

[@jjellybelmo4]

Should watch the remake, now that her baby daddy is gone. She changed it.

[@MsAmberAnne]

Her ex is a douchebag. Sued her for a shit ton of money so that he could retire and living in luxury. Google the case details, it’ll blow your mind. Check out her newest album, Chemistry. It details the jealousy and resentment he had towards her for being more successful and famous, the end of the marriage, the divorce, and her picking herself up off the floor “piece by piece.”

[@MaryABJM]

KEITH URBAN, BLUE AINT YOUR COLOR...🔥🔥YOU MIGHT PLAYED IT ALREADY, IF NOT ,IT'S FIRE 💥💥💥

[@bella-xp7qd]

Not Billy Ray. It is Keith Urban ( Nicole Kidman's husband).

[@minneyruth]

😢😢❤❤

[@christieowens7364]

No, the sad thing is that her husband turned out like her father. ❤

[@anita-tw2cj]

Need to do a reaction to Kelly's song abcdefu which she changed the lyric's for her ex-husband and his father.

[@tinahairston6383]

Nope, that new man/hubby/baby daddy is now in her rear-view but you can't watch this performance without Kleenex. Phenomenal as always and stronger than ever!!

[@leesahonomichl1014]

Her and hubby actually split during covid

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Who’s slicing onions up in this house?! 😭

[@annaspink8039]

That's Keith Urban not Billy Eay Cyrus

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

That was Keith urban not billy Ray lol

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

SLOW YOUR SPEECH,AND KEEP IT PG!!! THIS IS A VERY OLD PERFORMANCE!!!!
