Jelly Roll Says Vulnerability Is His Superpower

[@vespahandle]

as a licensed therapist, jelly and kelly are doing more for mental health and especially vulnerability and using the platform for such good. thanks all. vulnerability reframed as strength is key for allowing our boys/men to feel vs. just providing. keep on rocking!

[@JessPope]

Their music through the years has helped me, even when Jelly was a rapper. This was a divine meeting. The synchronicity is crazy even the Rock being a fan😂 has meaning. cPTSD and Autism

[@BellaLand321]

Amen!

[@sarahmckee3914]

They really are. He is helping me through my grief currently from losing my oldest brother as he passed on Oct 15th all alone on park bench in salt lake City. His music has helped more than I can put into words.

[@d7458]

“We’re all a little broken but that doesn’t mean we’re not beautiful.” Great line. Also, Kelly has a song called “Broken & Beautiful.”

[@klowe7213]

Was totally thinking that the whole time

[@zhixinli7826]

He said Ms. Clarkson instead of Kelly. He's so polite and so humble

[@anj3595]

That is Nashville. Same way I raised my son in Antioch, Tn.

[@vickiblackwell4502]

God is using Jelly Roll to help people. Love it

[@CaroleFurnesswhite-bj9yy]

YES HE IID! GREAT COMMENT

[@hollyj.fisher8872]

I know, right?

[@Shawn-pr6rk]

That's how southern people talk That's how my kids talk to people and they get looks when we visit family up north

[@starrlight341]

Him calling her Ms. clarkson, really got to me. The respect this man has!!! Love Jelly Roll and Bunny XO!

[@Str8talker76]

Jelly is probably one of the nicest and most humble people on earth. Advocating for juveniles , pizza for his fans ,or singing in a prison . It's nothing to him he just wants to give back. Doesn't get any better than Jelly.

[@hedgewitch94]

Y'all should do a concert together. FOr real any time I watch Jelly Roll talk I cry too. Love you both, amazing

[@michellemiles9966]

I appreciate his message of redemption at any age.

[@youcefmekki7276]

It just hit me when he said "He was a fan when I wasn't worth being a fan of"

[@michaelenosmusic]

@@youcefmekki7276 I am a songwriter. And I felt every word of that.

[@kellysimmons4872]

I love Jelly Roll - he has turned himself around, is moving up & helping others along the way. Talented humble big hearted man!

[@Dizzy0360]

I will NEVER regret the Love I've grown for this man & his wife. They are to me the absolute example of turning your pain over to your power !! using what broke you to rebuild your life !! He was cast out where he wanted to be excepted most (when young) She was outcast. abandoned & turned her experience of survival into a life style of Healing others !!! THANK GOD she healed him first so he can now also help us to Heal !!! There will always be something endearing & special about those who will peel back the layers and expose themselves to be the open door that helps others

[@francishughes2016]

Jeez, A miserable victim, who loves to wallow in self pity, who seems to think that he is the only person in the world who has managed to turn his life around, & he has managed to do it with miserable, depressing, suicidal, morose sad, whiny songs ! !.

[@Str8talker76]

I love and adore Bunnie XO . She is stunningly wholesome and all dolled up.❤

[@amandabuckby985]

Jelly was never a bad person…. I believe he was lost and made bad decisions. Such an amazing man.

[@nurturingnature8641]

This guy is loaded with wisdom. Very impressive!

[@rick-kg2fk]

He has a great positive attitude and comes across real & sincere!! I'm glad he's spreading his message

[@bsdslc]

So, I just saw this on KZbin. As someone that suffers from mental health, this song is my mantra, anthem, etc. etc. etc. The version of you and Kelly needs to be released. You’ve both been through so much, and is such an amazing collaboration. Your version is amazing too, and I listen to this every morning to help me through. Thank you!!!

[@varner226]

Jelly Roll is such a dude! The world needs more humans like JR!!

[@timoldpappy]

Just seen him in St. Louis and the brother puts on a show. He exudes gratefulness for where he is at and it just makes the show feel so much more powerful.

[@sosneye]

Most important thing I love about the KC show is that she doesn’t stare into the prompter 90% of the time like most host of shows. She doesn’t let the execs speak for her. She connects. And continues her connection with the conversations. Especially like all late night hosts and daytime. The View ladies are the worst for that. Audiences see it. And pick up off of personal connections or just little robots, collecting paychecks.

[@katysummer9418]

Jelly Roll really sings from his heart & soul. I am glad he turned his life around. Everybody needs hope.

[@lady4recovery]

Change is really 34 years clean and sober, now I have been sober for 1/2 of my life, yes change is possible if one is willing to do the work. It does not just happen, but it can.

[@lorrainejames9511]

Just a lovely kind man well done

[@Coco12769]

Who loves both of them

[@GrammyDawe]

I do!

[@joycecolton4436]

Me too!!!

[@ashjax44]

Goosebumps all over. What a powerful interview! Thanks to Kelly and the show for taking time to sit with this message a bit. I felt like y'all really gave it time to sink in and not feel rushed. Jelly, thank you so much for sharing such an inspirational journey of change and redemption. I admire your honesty and your open praise of God and family as key contributors to your growth. You are changing lives with your example. Beautiful. ❤

[@Susan-wn8hg]

He deserves all the success in the world. He and his wife own up to their past, and people can't insult them!

[@BlueBirdsSong]

I love you Jelly Roll. You helped me when I came upon your song “Save Me”. I had just lost my Brother he didn’t deserve what happened to him, I was in so much pain. You commented back to my comment and I cried and cried because I felt so invisible. I wasn’t drinking or anything else just the loneliness it was, and still is unbearable. Thank you so so much for gently reaching out to me I will never forget it. Kelly, you are the sweetest, most kind and loving woman. I love your music, both of you! Kelly so many of your songs touch my heart. Thank you both.

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

It's OK to Not be OK sometimes. 🎉❤

[@Darci3333]

Love Jellyroll and wish him the very best❤

[@angelaallen3973]

I love EVERYTHING about this conversation. I lost my amazing 15-year-old son to suicide almost 4 years ago. Seeing these two use their platforms to let people know it's okay to talk about mental health. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to struggle....is AMAZING!! Thank you both so much

[@Nibby-ob5fr]

I’m so glad I watched this interview, it was so needed in my life at this moment.

[@Darci3333]

Sometimes God allows the brokenness to let the Son shine in😢❤

[@kristenmorrow983]

Jelly Roll is a truly wise, intelligent, and remarkably kind person. He shows us what it means to have the courage to take responsibility for our actions, not blame others, and demonstrate genuine respect and love for all people. Jelly Roll is real. He is honest. He is human. He admits he is flawed, but his focus is on making amends and his energy goes toward making a positive difference for others. He’s a true gift to our world, not because he has always done right or been perfect, but because he strives to learn, grow, and give back more than he gets. How much better things could be if we all behaved this way. I wish there were more like him and I hope he’ll inspire everyone the way he has me. I was losing faith and out of the blue, there he was. If we will consider what he has to say, and if we can understand and adopt his values, our country will become a better version of itself. (Oh, and that singing voice he has- gorgeous)

[@kelson63100]

Smart man….and he has a beautiful smile!

[@Parham2005]

my family just loves Jelly and Bunny!!

[@amylouwilliams83]

What a powerful interview ❤❤ JellyRoll you really are changing lives and your music is just.. there are no words!! Kelly & Jelly Roll talking together is pure perfection.. bless u both ❤❤

[@tonyabutler4572]

Seeing 2 of my favorite people sitting and talking so sincerely is absolutely amazing. I could sit and listen all day long. I can only imagine what a concert with them would be like. This would be a collab of a lifetime. Please let neither one of them ever change.

[@ZipA838]

Love how Kelly is such an authentic listener who shows empathy.

[@melissaosborne3437]

Jelly Roll looks fantastic..What a great true soul he is .He is becoming a Legend

[@sheilaklugman2340]

Love this Man, JELLY ROLL, he has such a heart and he put his life in every song ,Love Kelly too, what a wonderful talk

[@donnamoore8031]

Can you say "LEGEND"!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😉 I couldn't say more than that does. You have arrived my son!!! Good job and thank you for writing the contents of your heart and soul. I don't think anyone else has ever reached into the areas that you have with your incredible voice. We are all along for the journey you take us on. I couldn't be more proud of you. Stay strong and stand tall. Don't be afraid to say no and remember you have a choice and a voice. Get started on a Foundation in your name for mental health and I know it will be a success. You have everyone's attention so choose carefully. Always be true to yourself and enjoy the rest of your life. What a story, what a Legacy!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😉

[@angelalott596]

This!

[@NanaPelletier]

This was probably Kelly's best interview!

[@kevincampbell5785]

I agree.

[@GrammyDawe]

Two beautiful people with beautiful hearts and voices.

[@lucy0537]

Yes, indeed!!

[@traceyhilder6640]

Beautiful interview love jelly what a kind hearted keeping it real guy

[@chanelsmith1985]

I just absolutely love Jelly Roll interviews. He's such a great soul. Tells great stories & he's so humble ❤

[@tonibrown6125]

My two favorite artists. I love you both, so much! I doubt they'll ever read this but, you are so inspiring to me, Jelly Roll. I probably cry a good 60% of the time when you sing. I'd be a puddle on the floor the entire concert if I were ever able to see you.

[@klowe7213]

My husband surprised me with tickets to Jelly Roll in Vancouver. I was FLOORED, as hubs is more of a Metallica guy. Literally all he knows about Jelly Roll is that "I heard he has a good voice". I'm so excited!

[@CJSmallz41]

I love Jelly Roll and his music!!!! I can relate to a lot of his music. I deal with mental health problems. It was hard to raise my 2 kids and deal with bipolar. But now that they're grown, Jelly Roll and his music is what got me to get help and got the right meds so thank you Jelly Roll ❤

[@melrhea12]

Okay I’m crying 😭 beautiful soul who’s music helps me every day 💕

[@andypuckett8721]

I love Kelly so much her voice blows my mind and Jelly is my big time hero his voice is getting so much better and I love him so much because he is so honest

[@taybaby1997]

Jelly is such an inspiration & a sweetheart. He is exactly what we need in this day & age. The world needs more kindness & forgiveness. 😇

[@lisawoodall375]

This is the best interview I am feeling so emotional. So proud ofvJelly.

[@Talkischeap82]

Repair with gold as you unfold. Luv it. You are worth it old man.

[@charlenefreeman18]

Love Jelly Roll and his song has saved me though a very scary time in my life and helped me mentally get through a frightening surgery ❤ thank you. 🙏

[@shelbydrake6064]

Okay.. this guy is my absolute favorite! God Bless You JellyRoll! Thank you for your vulnerability and your testimony! I pray God uses you to impact people for Him!

[@sthrngngrsnp]

Absolutely love the album! Each song speaks volumes for so many of us.

[@tiffanyljohn3461]

Love and respect always!! Jelly Roll is such a gift from up above 💛

[@jadavella4623]

Jelly Roll is amazing 💯

[@berlindaarmijo9251]

Very true! We ARE all broken in some way. Everyone has faced or is facing challenges. And it won't stop because we are imperfect we Must fight daily these blows coming toward us. Who said life was going to be easy because it's not. Life is a test we must choose to either be good or choose bad which is Satan's way of life. We all have a conscience knowing good from bad. So, glad Jelly Roll has made a turn in his life. God is blessing him in so many ways. He's Always thanking God. That is so awesome to give God the glory in all things wheather we are facing a bad day or a good one- Ps 83:18 If, we let God mold us we can succeed in Life too... GOD IS GOOD ❤️ Jelly Roll is an inspiration to many

[@fayewallace9744]

I think Jelly Roll is an inspiration to everyone. You can do anything you want at any age. I did stayed dancing at 70. ❤

[@Jellyroll615BB]

I didn't start my career at an early age but I still got achievements... what it implies is that, it's never too late to start. Just do whatever you want when your passion for it awakens

[@trish8080]

Thank you so much for having Jelly Roll on the show!!!!!!😊

[@All_love123abc]

I’ve seen a lot of podcasts and interviews of Jelly Roll recently. God is using this man right now and it’s beautiful!

I adore this man! He's such a sweetheart with a beautiful voice. Love his whole vibe ♥

[@Alittlehazayy]

I really like this guy

[@LisaDAmmirati]

I adore his past present and future. A man of his word and a man who was given a second chance.. by himself to serve his purpose!! You’re awesome jelly 🎉

[@teegums2224]

1st I voted for Kelly Clarkeson on America Idiol & I am so happy and Proud of her for all she has done in life. I am 54 years old and a BIG Fan. 2nd I am a BIG Fan of Jelly Roll....His music is helping me get through some tough times and Kelly is helping me too. Love you guys❤

Jelly Roll is such a genuine beautiful soul🥲❤

[@barnzee1]

never underestimate the power to re-invent yourself

[@mariovaquero2409]

I seen this man for the first time recently on snl and his look struck my interest so I did some investigating this man is the poster child for DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY THEIR COVER!!!! He's just a big down to earth country boy that is famous but still gets starstruck seeing celebrities. He's also been through the worst corners of hell and came out in paradise and now that he's in a position to, gives to kids that are growing up the way he did. God bless you Jason Bradley DeFord may you hit every ceiling of success and bust through them all!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and we all know Kelly Clarkson need no description!!! 💜

[@janisrose6131]

This is a beautiful story of redemption - I feel like jelly roll has gold in his blood. He opens his heart and pure goodness of God spills out. Beautifully broken!

[@michaelkessler856]

There's a reason why Jelly resonates with so many people - he's a real dude who has overcome so much and came out on the other side. If that's not the American dream, I don't know what is.

[@ianthomas8954]

Bro, she about cried when jelly roll said she was a good mom.

[@ancientsoul5608]

Couldn't tell you a Kelly Clarkson song, but this was a damn good interview.

I’m also glad my subscribers didn’t know me in the early 2000’s lol We don’t deserve jelly n Bunnie ❤

[@lindsaysmythe9820]

This man is an absolute national treasure and should be protected at all costs. The amount of respect that he shows every single person that is lucky enough to come across his path is astounding. I absolutely love and adore him and Bunny-- to get where they are from where they came from is an absolutely amazing story! The true King and Queen of the music scene right now... We could all learn so much from their hearts! When he said "He was a fan when I wasn't worth being a fan of...." I think we've all been there and felt that- but not really known how to put it into words, and he has done so so beautifully. I was, am currently, and forever will be a huge supporter of this man and his career.

[@TiaByassee]

5:05 He is a real man for saying stuff like this. This is why we all relate to him and his powerful messages in his songs. ❤

[@J.Ferghus]

Dude! Incorporating the kintsugi method with the album cover image, while simultaneously delivering an incredible message, is an unreal level of artistic expression. Congrats on the well-deserved success, JR!

This was Amazing! Such a GREAT interview and story. He's an absolute fabulous speaker and advocate.

[@prbd0985]

As someone who grew up with him and loved his music even from day, one even before he started really putting it out there when he was singing in the cafeteria drumming on the tables he has always been an incredible person and artist to see how much he is now and how much he has matured and grownit is phenomenal. I am so happy for him. There is not a single more deserving person and I hope he gets every single one of his dreams accomplished because he deserves it all.
