That Eb5 is so resonant and powerful. Her technique is impeccable.

[@mumuniamida7815]

She sounds better singing this now than before

[@omelette429]

Eb5 - original key

[@fromthemtothel4897]

@@omelette429 you're right, I corrected it.

[@berb-182]

I think her technique and age have made her lows so much fuller while maintaining most of her highs, making this song sound so much better now.

[@poppyseed389]

As a non musical person which word is she singing in that note? Just curious

[@mheeds1]

Nobody can’t beat the original idol she’s the best ever.

[@shedevilcrazy6469]

THAT'S THE TRUTH ‼

[@adrianaavila8853]

😭 😭🥺🥺🥺 super emotional

[@sambee4927]

Now we know why.

[@theusaosb]

She was already divorcing to her husband. :/ That makes sense. She was probably sad about it when she was singing this song which is originally about the impact that her parent's divorce had on her.

[@macygrace2978]

:( ugh I hope she is doing ok I think she really loved him fully

[@jasonlicos]

May i ask why? (About the divorce)

[@judlinewren1711]

16 years later and I’m still crying. ‘My heart cant break when it wasn’t even whole to start with’ 😭😭😭😭 amazing.

😧

[@Geengarner]

And she was 16 writing it!!

[@mikew6576]

Wonderful lyric. Sad and beautiful.

[@fromthemtothel4897]

It's kind of sad that this song is not part of her regular setlist anymore. It's probably her most popular song outside America. But I'm so happy she sang it again here, and even in the original key. Such a great performance!

[@macygrace2978]

She has too many great ones ;) she does sing it more frequently than you might think

[@makeyourself1988]

Does she still play behind these hazel eyes?

[@itzsammy_]

mark rigg She does Hazel Eyes every tour, it’s a fan favorite!

[@douglasmacneil4474]

She sings it more since the divorce

[@galegorgeous8857]

I think it's a difficult song for her to sing emotionally. But I agree, she nails it every time and it should be at every live show

[@fuckurbody]

How can kelly sound even better today singing this song than when it came out 15 years ago?? Unbelievable vocal. This song is a classic. It will stand the test of time, it will never be out dated. To think that clive davis & RCA hated this song, until it made them millions of course and became kelkys biggest hit worldwide..... Kelly keeps proving the haters wrong. Who knew the girl i voted for on this lil show called american idol almost 2 decades ago would still be here and kicking ass while remaining the same person?!

[@macygrace2978]

And more famous than ever (not that fame is meaningful but it’s a true testament to her strength and talent)

[@ting-ting7001]

[@jodireed4992]

Kelly, I am baffled at how God works... I thought of this song today, because I remember it being "my song" in 2007 when I left my husband after 7 years of a toxic marriage, with my 2 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I was so broken. And this song broke down my walls so that I could cry it out, which helped me to be able to pray. I'm sorry to say, but it's been so long since then that I couldn't remember who sang it! So I googled some lyrics and then watched the first recording on KZbin. Then another and another...For the past hour+ I have sat in my floor listening to this song over and over, bawling my eyes out, shocked at the depth of pain I feel after 12 years. But it hit on so many other things, other relationships, before and since that marriage and divorce. Until I saw the live recording from 2006. You were young. But I think this song was actually YOUR heart, right? Your experience? Suddenly my heart broke for you. And next I found this recent recording, and after watching it and wondering why you seem just as hurt as all those years ago.. I read in the comments that you had to file for divorce. I think God brought me through this strange and intense experience to show ne that YOU need prayer. And so.. I promise to be praying for you!!! Because God's got you. And He wants to give your heart peace. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Lean on Him! He will not fail you! He never leave you nor forsake you. I will be your sister :)

[@caszriel]

This song hit hard the first time I heard it many years ago, and it still hits hard. What a beautiful song

[@kitty121261]

"I can not cry, because I know that's weakness in your eyes" That line punches me in the gut every time 😥

[@garyleeheard3434]

The Face of the American Idol and still remains..Amazing talent.

[@MrJesseryker]

To me Kelly is the one and only true AI! There’s no one better IMO! This song was never one of my favorites but this version of it has completely changed my mind. There is so much emotion in it (we all know how she exudes emotion) and after hearing about her divorce I’m sure it was tough to sing this song. She is truly amazing and one of the most underrated powerhouse vocalist we have today.. be strong Kelly u know we got u.. much love to u.. xoxo

[@blakedusenberry4025]

Omg I didn’t know how much I needed this!! Her voice is not only still amazing after 14 years but it’s even better

As always, this woman is hands down the best singer of this generation. This song is very close to my heart. Only complaint I have is, when will she ever sing the album version live. Don't believe she has yet. Still very beautiful after 15 years.

[@jaywithyu]

It’s not too much different from the album version

[@donnalarson7818]

Have you seen her through out these years LIVE. Yes..she has.. But this is different special.. Timing? FOR KELLY LIVE IS SPECTACULAR..10 TIMES.. NOT MUCH DIFFERENT ON CD. JUST SAYS WHAT IS RECORDED IS IN CONCERT.. NO STUDIO TWEEKING NEEDED. ONLY ONE OTHER TIME I CAN SAY THAT. JOURNEY...5 TIMES EARLIER YEARS.. JUST LIKE ALBUMS.. OH YES. KC#1 JOURNEY#2. SANTANA#3. BUT IM OLDER.

[@Geengarner]

I think she only did that during breakaway tour 1st one I thought it was too much emotionally but her music director said the key change just didn't work well
