People saying she was singing like she was “reading” and emotionless as if it isn’t obvious that she was trying not to sob.

[@rayshort78]

and all the peoples saying shes plain out bad like erm lets see you load up smth like logic and record some vocals, and instrumentals at that lmfaoo

[@jimmybob5196]

Also her eyes are shut 99% of the time

[@misfitbrit1989]

We saw her live in Cincinnati a few years back. She broke down on stage during this song.

[@Sennario]

Never forget this woman put the first crack in the shell of what’s going on in the music industry with revealing what happened with Dr.Luke

[@jordanmills5040]

Who is Dr. Luke?

[@dalbo1791]

@@jordanmills5040her abuser

[@amandaelhassan6407]

Was she at her best? No of course not. She was so emotional how could she be?! Dr Luke was in that crowd, how could she not be nervous and emotional. When she was walking to the front you see her looking back as though making sure everyone was still with her. Cyndi Lauper also puts her hand on her back in support too because Kesha very clearly needed it. That big supportive hug at the end? Kesha needed that

[@viviennewolf9181]

Its hard to sing and cry for anyone who says she isn't "good".

[@Meccaone17]

Right I’m surprised ppl can see that

[@ricardoortiz3174]

i would cry live if i sang like that lol

[@thirtyright]

So much respect for her, she took on the devil.

[@Scbms1_9-09]

If I were Kesha probably I couldn’t sing in front of abuser supporters. Such a powerful woman she is.

[@angeladebatin4714]

I related with this song !!!! I had an abusive relationship with my ex husband….he died with Covid-19 and I was set free !

[@laciminder8718]

Her emotions while singing this had me in tears ❤ good for you girl! Tell your story, sing it loud

[@gna7679]

You can truly feel the emotion when she sings, no matter how "bad" people say she was. I still get goosebumps.

[@toniapearson4695]

She wasn’t bad at all. She was still hitting the notes that girl can sing, and she was singing from her heart. What was strange about? It was the deep motion, which wasn’t strange at all she lit her heart and sold out on that song you could tell it didn’t only give me goosebumps. It made me cry.❤😢

[@MelodyLynneChase]

Ke$ha and these female artists are survivors or CSA and/or SA, they are supporting each other and standing united as survivors. The pain in her voice i can feel it in my soul, as a survivor

[@ctm007]

Exactly…only non survivors find it corny cos they’ll never understand…

[@brooklynne_taylor]

[@moniqueescamilla9940]

Amen, sister

[@christopheri.7811]

I cannot even function right now. Kesha and this song has been a steady source of strength for me for a long time now, but I am absolutely wrecked to see these absolute icons singing backup with her because they fully know down in their souls what this song is about. Thank you Kesha and everyone who made this performance possible, you've saved a life tonight and I pray for everyone of you.

[@Ms.MommaShark]

Here is 2024 showing support for her and proud of all she’s overcome. Also showing support for her changing her P Diddy lyric in her some Tik Tok

[@EmilyWest-t9q]

So powerful! Especially with all the women singing with her. We all know this struggle. ❤❤😢

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Wow! That hug at the end! The raw emotion throughout the song! The power needed to perform this in a room of industry people! Anyone nitpicking notes are missing the point by a mile! Wow!

[@elvinchaparro3720]

Kesha, youre saving with your lyrics. Never stop writing music.

[@cookiealexd123]

She didnt write this. A man did.

[@mortician77]

​@@cookiealexd123 "The track originated from Ryan Lewis, who contacted Kesha and offered her an early version of the song." which i think means the instrumentals and the sound were created by ryan lewis, but the lyrics were written by kesha and cleaned up by a few other writers. kesha has stated that she wrote the song as a way to air out her frustrations and anger with dr luke and the SA court case

[@Picachki]

I love this song. She was so emotional here I think she didn’t preform to the best of her ability but I respect her strength to get up on that stage and face the world.

[@danieldwyer1513]

When my brother died in 2006... I wish I could have shared these lyrics and their voices.😢

[@Ernie1978]

Now this is everything a performance should be. A record that's meaningful and an emotional delivery of its message. Kesha might have been nervous but it only adorned the performance even more. And then, there's that choir of stars! ❤

[@redman6434]

Not fan of her but she is a very good songwriter, and this song is literally pure emotion ❤ Only abuser's don't like this masterpiece 🕊️

[@TheStrangelys]

Strong way to call out a narcissist. I Love Kesha ❤️

[@kxla647]

This song is full of emotions. I am crying while watching this, I’m not going thru anything rn. 🤧

[@jhadebredenkamp97]

Don't lie gurl.

[@toniapearson4695]

Same, I was concerned to see the pain coming out in her eyes in her voice, but at the same time, it was beautiful. What a real raw masterpiece of emotions.😢❤

[@msglimmertwin52]

I just watched this again. The song, and Kesha's performance, is so many emotions. Sadness, anger, revenge, resentment. But then towards the end you realize it's also about forgiveness, dignity, strength, healing and oh goodness, Kesha if you're reading this, I love you. I truly love you. You have a powerful testimony honey.

[@jimmybob5196]

Still here 2025 ❤

[@Illyria1217]

2924 and I still feel the emotion through her singing.

[@elic7314]

They still haven't released any good music in 2924, huh? 😂😂

[@Moonshinehearts]

This kind of thing is universal. Drum circles are important to healing in many different cultures. Singing with your community. Harmonizing together to bring healing and light into this world to combat the pain and sadness

[@redman6434]

KESHA FT CAMILA CABELLO FT RIHANNA FT BEBE REXHA IT'S SO ICONIC ❤️ And this song is literally MASTERPIECE 🕊️🌹

[@kalyaamirouche6009]

[@jacksonvqs]

Its a Andra Day, not Rihanna 🤭

[@Becca._E]

Thank you, Kesha. You've given so many victims strength by sharing your story and with this song.

[@Liammmmmm]

I just realised all the artists on stage ❤❤

[@CatherineAbril-l7x]

This is beautiful. It sounds like she was “reading”..???? No. That’s her talking directly to who this song is about. It’s powerful and moving. I couldn’t fathom going through something so horrific, and public, and then stand on a stage a sing the song I wrote about the situation in front of the world.

[@JakubEvan]

[@enlightenmyhalo944]

My favorite thing about anyone famous is them being real letting every emotion show. This is so powerful!🗣️

[@RobertLouisMoore]

love it, love the way her work speaks to us

[@nathanrivenes8555]

100% so raw love it!!

[@CatherineAbril-l7x]

She could barely stand at the end. Anyone saying she did a poor job is truly an idiot and tone deaf to what this performance was really about.

[@tena2sweet]

I hope they make a movie about what she went through. So people can see what she went through. You can hear it her sing she's singing from her soul and pain.❤❤❤❤

[@marcocascone784]

I deeply undestand every single word of this song. Thanks to give the voice to a lot of people. This is a Masterpiece and you are such a strong person!

I left my narcisstic soon to be ex husband 3 years ago. This has been my go to song and video every time I've missed him or felt weak. Leaving him is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. So much power in Kesha's words and her performance here.

My family was losing grandparents, jobs, transportation in an accident that wasnt an accident at all.. then the rest of relatives that abandoned us to lose our home at this time. We didnt get to see it. 2024.. here it is and its beautiful and the most powerful and overwhelming performance ever seen. Amazing Kesha. You must have gone through it to find it in yourself.. looks like you made it. My family persistantly pray we will even though we dont know why God is allowing it. - Jennifer my sons mom Burton & son❤🎉.

Well, you almost had me fooled Told me that I was nothing without you Oh, but after everything you've done I can thank you for how strong I have become 'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell I had to learn how to fight for myself And we both know all the truth I could tell I'll just say this is "I wish you farewell" I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin' I hope your soul is changin', changin' I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, prayin' I'm proud of who I am No more monsters, I can breathe again And you said that I was done Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come 'Cause I can make it on my own, oh And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known I'll bring thunder, I'll bring rain, oh When I'm finished, they won't even know your name You brought the flames and you put me through hell I had to learn how to fight for myself And we both know all the truth I could tell I'll just say this is "I wish you farewell" I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin' I hope your soul is changin', changin' I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, prayin' Ah sometimes, I pray for you at night, oh Someday, maybe you'll see the light Whoa oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give But some things only God can forgive Yeah! (I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin') I hope your soul is changin', changin' I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, prayin'
