Who's listening this in 2024

[@Sans-y3m]

Usually at least 3 times a month since it was released

[@rosecoloredtimes]

Me. Devastated because her husband didn’t cherish her.

[@mattemson2188]

I'm a male , propa old school grunger , n this song stirs emotions in even me 😢

[@HeatherWilliams-vr8ek]

I'm here baby

[@jasminesands790]

I’m here still crying the little girl inside of me understands every word in this song

[@GSPfan10]

Props to the pianist. He stayed right with her.

[@andrewoverhere8525]

He's been with her her entire career

[@destinywhite2063]

That’s his job as her accompanist. To follow her and not lead her. She’s the singer. He’s the musical backup.

[@ivomrazek2142]

the Kelly duo with the pianist is like a perfectly tuned machine

[@arpeghymetal]

[@Littleflower53]

Her little “sorry”…..so powerful, so soft, yet so strong. One of the best live performances of all time.

[@ssisk4953]

Agreed

[@JDfaith2024]

Absolutely 😢

[@sandersson25]

Agreed

[@theadoredones]

As a boy abadndoned by my father, all I could think when she said "sorry"...was that she has nothing to fucking apologise for...in that tone too.

[@BandHful]

Do y'all remember the Kelly Pickler performance at one of the award shows where she cracked at the end because it was about her mom I believe 💔😢

[@SparklySara16]

She just keeps reminding us why she is THE American Idol

[@codycee2510]

There hasn’t been one as good since!

[@jessicamadrid5799]

This song is so emotional. She poured her heart out. Her father and ex-husband never deserved her.

[@latonyawilliams5460]

I don't care how many I revisit this video I cry EVERY TIME❤

[@danniblechnerbookjourneymentor]

Me too! ❤😭

[@rickyc9610]

Same here! Just the raw real emotion! True talent to get through difficult songs like this!

[@QueenPetgurl]

Gurlah. U ain't neva lied lol.

[@OpposingPony]

Same. This is like my 4th time back, I can't make it through without crying.

Props to the pianist for letting her restart that one line and still being insync.

[@shiverthespinemusic621]

Yes, completley concur, great piano, do you know who is the pianist?

[@nixfarrik6214]

Don’t know why I put myself through this again at 7.20am 😅 but seeing it again I actually want to applaud the pianist for adjusting the music when Kelly needed a second. Brilliant skills ❤

[@johnmcfadden55]

I was literally going to say this and was checking to see if anyone else noticed too

[@angelabest4468]

Jason Halbert the pianist is an absolute masterpieces. He has been playing piano with Kelly for 20 years. They are magic together and he has always instinctively known how to follow her timing.

[@davidboschi]

Agreed, as a pianist myself people don’t understand how difficult it is to do that. And he did it so flawlessly, almost like they both knew the exact note where to pick up. Almost like it was rehearsed when it clearly wasn’t.

[@destinywhite2063]

@@davidboschiWell, as a pianist, you’re leaving a crucial point out. Jason is a pianist, true, but he is accompanying her. He’s NOT the leader, she’s the leader, she’s the singer. That’s not to hurt him, that’s a fact. When Jason plays for her, it’s his job to know where she is in the music and if she messes up, he has to keep playing, he cannot simply stop. If nothing else, he has to chord until she rights herself and finds her place in the music again. I’ve played the clarinet for years, and played solos with piano accompaniment. Accompaniment follows you, they don’t lead you. My mother played recitals too and her accompaniment knew her like Jason knew Kelly. My mom’s senior college recital, there was a particular run she had endless problems with. She had to play it in triple time to get it right. She got really nervous, and her accompaniment told her, “don’t worry about me, if I lose you, I know how to chord.” So, she played and did that run in triple time. Her accompaniment lost her and had to chord😂. Mom got a standing ovation and an “A”. No one was the wiser. There’s only so much practicing you can do. Being a piano accompaniment is a skill not many pianists have or can do. It does take a lot of talent to be able to do it. Not all accompaniments are good either.

[@davegerth5911]

Arguably one of the greatest IDOL shows ever. This performance. Then Laporsha's diamonds performance hands down a top 5 idol performance ever. No respect for her. S

[@TravAB]

I’m a 31 year old grown man and i sit and cry watching this literally everytime

[@amylee3531]

Parents are supposed to teach us how to be good people. For some of us, our parents taught us who NOT to be(or one parent)

[@cathylipera8672]

Just love beautiful song and she sings it so beautifully

[@amarasunflower6914]

So true.

[@sparingpickle4918]

I have two parents that taught me what not to be

[@brookiesykes5216]

Facts

[@cassiemathias2574]

My mom, my bio dad and my step dad all taught me what kind of parent I didn't want to be. Now I have an amazing husband who is an amazing father and this song just hits deep. ❤ Some of us became better than our parents 💖. Wishing you all the best.

[@davidkruse956]

If you don’t tear up to this video, you’re not human.

[@drawer__2468]

AGREED !!! ❤

[@lolaperola1]

yeah me looking at JLo, what, not even one tear? Keith Urban bawling his eyes out😭 What a lovely man.

[@sweetmonkey2440]

Kelly Clarkson is a diamond. Literally a woman sent from a place where only good things come from. Never heard one negative thing about her in the 20+ years that I've been a fan(since American Idol). That just shows you now she's genuinely a good person.

[@summergirljen]

Yes! She's just so down to Earth, funny, honest, just beautiful inside and out❤

[@trollwayy5981]

Or good PR…

[@hegeliwi]

Well, she called Norwegian world Idol-winner Kurt Nilsen, a hobbit and undeserving of the title as she was supposedly a better singer🤔

[@DamienHurts]

"A place where only good things come from" omggg that is the cutest description of a person I've read in youtube comments. And it makes sense, given that your username is "sweet"monkey. And I totally agree. She's such a fighter, throughout her entire career, fighting for artistic freedom and sticking to her morals.

[@sherolynkalevalaka5894]

Wow such a powerful song, and the pianist still follows her every break..watching june 2024,whos wif me?

[@the.kai.eros.experience]

Love seeing how deeply Keith & J Lo were affected. Art is so powerful. It can help everyone open their hearts

[@tracyhargraves3954]

I was surprised to see that J Lo didn't have a single tear in her eyes!! Keith was like me every time I watch this video!!

[@ksmith96]

J lo was just making a sad face. (She doesn't actually have any emotions left.) Hollywood has sucked it all out of her and left a husk behind. 😄

[@user-wl7ii4hb8x]

Jlo has no soul . Devils play toy .

[@melissaarispe1551]

​@ksmith9 so true

[@Stroutta-oh7mj]

@@ksmith96🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-lx4kw7zn5m]

The pianist is fabulous at adjusting to the changes

[@TashaMiragex]

I think this might break my heart even more now that she is divorced from a man who demanded money and so much more from her. He broke his vow, his promise and that he wasn't a good enough man to prove a man can be great and a father could stay. Kelly's strength is just amazing.

[@alissonjalil4729]

That’s always what I think when I hear this now as well! So very sad!

[@KD....]

That's the terrible thing about this song. Little did Kelly know. I'm glad she got through it.

[@tmczx]

​@@KD.... She changed the lyrics after their split so the song doesn't mention him

[@kialee7692]

Yeah, I think about that too. Hopefully he is a better parent than he was a spouse.

[@NevadaLamb]

It’s so heartbreaking. I almost can’t listen to this version anymore. 😭 Especially cause it wasn’t just Kelly, but also Reba who had her heart broken. 😢

[@horse_girl-123]

I listen to this version of the song because it shows the reality of it and the heart and soul of the song. So sad to see she’s divorced now and that she got hurt again. I love how REAL Kelly is!!

[@bigbrotherau05]

Yeah, and I can relate to the story she wrote about. Some people just never should have been a parent because they suck at it. The saddest part to me is that there’s a line in the song “He never asks for money”, he being her husband & father of her kids, and it turned out he tried to steal money from her.

[@donnamichalski2237]

I didn't know that she was divorced. Poor lady

[@bigbrotherau05]

@@donnamichalski2237 Why the “poor lady”? 1. Loads of marriages end in divorce. It happens and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. 2. She doesn’t appear to be unhappy either. In fact, she actually seems to be very happy with her kids and her work. 3. She is also not literally poor, as she is worth multiple millions.

[@londontravellers22]

At least her ex husband is there for her kids. At least give her that much.

[@figardscott1815]

Piece by Piece - Kelly Clarkson And all I remember is your back Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to But piece by piece, he collected me up Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me At six years old and you know He never walks away He never asks for money He takes care of me He loves me Piece by piece, he restored my faith That a man can be kind and a father could stay And all of your words, they fall flat I made something of myself and now you wanna come back But your love, it isn't free, it has to be earned Back then I didn't have anything you needed, so I was worthless But piece by piece, he collected me up Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me At six years old and you know He never walks away He never asks for money He takes care of me 'Cause he loves me Piece by piece, he restored my faith That a man can be kind and a father could stay Piece by piece Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree I will never leave her like you left me And she will never have to wonder her worth Because unlike you, I'm gonna put her first and you know He'll never walk away He'll never break her heart He'll take care of things, he'll love her Piece by piece, he restored my faith That a man can be kind and the father should be great Piece by piece

[@johnathanpitcock5236]

And yet another man has showed her that a man can be pathetic and a father will leave sadly.

[@chrisbennett1789]

Kelly Clarkson has the most soulful voice it's very moving

[@zechariahkaylem]

Kelly clarkson l is a very popular in your office with the family of my life ❤so

[@fordfan1au]

I can't think of another performance where the artist "breaks" and the audience lap it up more. They knew it, the judges (Keith especially) knew it and the piano player knew it. This wasn't just a song it's a life moment given music. I thought of it like being on a therapist couch and singing your story. Incredible

[@melanieparchman5873]

You know the part where you’re trying to catch your breath from crying hard,this song does it every time. I feel every emotion in that even though I’ve never had anything like that happen to me. My kids have, but they have an amazing stepdad that has taken all that pain away and shown them what love should be from a father. Hugs to anyone out there that has had this story she tells so beautifully.

[@David.124]

C-c-c-c-c-c-c-catch my breath

[@daniellepolo9611]

My real father left my mom pregnant with me and moved on to the next woman and got her knocked up, then another woman but he only stayed for the youngest. Thank god for my dad who put his name on my birth certificate and raised me as his own and showed me what a father should be. So this song is extremely relatable to me

[@johnperry3105]

As a neglected child, this song gets me, every time

[@YakkityYakk]

This song breaks me. My "dad" left me when I was 4 & I always swore to myself I'd make sure my kids had a better dad than I did. And they do. We've been together 22 yrs, our kids are 12 & 13. He's everything for our kids that my dad never was for me.

[@marcreeves5980]

He wasn't your dad kid, he was a genetic donor, don't ever forget that

[@rhonalome1462]

Oh I know the feeling, God sent me an angel through my husband. Awesome father to our kids.

[@amycochran1404]

My bio-dad was in and out of my life for my whole childhood. I'd see him on special occasions, and if I went to my grandmother's house. I can remember praying, as a 13 year old girl, that he'd come see my basketball game. He did come, but he left before he ever said a word to me. That was par for the course with him. This song can honestly be about my adoptive dad and my husband. My mom remarried when I was 16. Her new husband took me in as his own and adopted me before I turned 18. Around the same time that my mom and my dad started dating, I started dating my husband. We've been married for 22 years also and have 4 boys together. I think collectively my dad and my husband healed my little girl heart!

[@Chihuahuauno1]

YOU made him leave HO!

[@MamaOfu]

Your a good mommy. Congratulations

[@jenniferwhite2945]

I mean, is he still there for their children? That's her biggest message

[@jackjaensch2405]

The song is actually about her father and her stepfather who actually raised her, until the last verse she references her at the time husband.

[@3YongShin3]

One thing about me is that I'll cry every time this video comes on. Such an amazing performance.

[@skylermoore1320]

[@sandrastevens4418]

This version is so much better the record. The emotions 😢 are so real beautiful. I grew up with both my parents, but my father was a narcissist, I sometimes think it would have been better to grow up without him. Narcissists are so toxic they like making you feel like something is wrong with you. You end up always questioning yourself.

[@DeeDiamond2981]

This is my story too. My father was an alcoholic and noone understood how he abandoned us in the home. No truth to his parenting.
