Sara Beth Full Performance | American Idol 2023 Hollywood Week Solo's Day 1 S21E07

[@pioneerprepper2048]

They have totally mis understand this. She is strong! She is confident in her role as a mom! She said yes to her family and put the horribly toxic, nasty culture of Hollywood in its place. She's freaking fierce and an amazing role model to women everywhere!!!!

[@joycecantrell4478]

I frankly wouldn't want any of my kids in show business.

[@MH-yd9he]

I agree 100%

[@chuckm1961]

Yes, quitting things is a sign of strength. Quitting after depriving someone else an opportunity and wasting everyone's time. Solid.

[@pioneerprepper2048]

@@chuckm1961 she didnt quit what was most important which is showing up for her kids.

[@plaidpaisley5918]

She’s Awesome!!

[@DevinZorillle]

i feel like she's going to be a comeback story...we'll see her again in like 15 years after her kids see this and say MOM WTF YOU NEED TO TRY AGAIN and she will, and she'll rock it.

[@TheGuyWithNoSubsForAReason]

check out last october from sara beth. she released it 2 weeks ago on her youtube page. Help spread the word! :)

[@PillCozbee]

She already came back. To her family.

[@seirrasky3581]

Nah, her tik tok is blowing up rn. She won’t need them.

[@sayyestolife333]

@@seirrasky3581 exactly this seems like a genius plan to me to get peoples support without having to play their rules and possibly be limited by their contracts

[@stevenmike1878]

i hope she starts a successful internet singing career on her own time. away from all the hollywood corporate music industry bs. so she can enjoy singing and stay with her family. do a jimmy buffet and take off from the outside, and have a ton of supportive fans

[@glorytalbott5500]

Sara Beth made the right choice and I admire her for that. Being a mother to your own cheerleaders (your kids) is so much better than being rich and famous for strangers. She will be the light and the apple of her children's eyes. A mothers' sacrifices and love for her children will last for future generations in her family. It is an inheritance of love and stability she is giving her offspring. No one can replace a mother. She definitely made the right choice.

[@TheGuyWithNoSubsForAReason]

check out her first original on her youtube page. Look for "Last October from Sara Beth"

[@glorytalbott5500]

@@mo-sl4bj I said I would never have kids, too. #1 (out of 2) was an oopsie (two forms of birth control and ironically I still got pregnant). And yet she and her sister are the best things that have ever happened to me. My old dreams don't compare to my new dreams with my family-these new dreams greatly exceed my ambitions before. Today, I am flying out with my oldest daughter to Colombia, South America (our sixth time there with her) for the next ten days. We love to travel together. I didn't start living until I had kids. Everything became new, going to the zoo with a toddler and her seeing her favorite animal (an elephant) for the first time gave me more joy than I ever thought possible. I was really missing out before I had kids-I was stuck in a rut and thought I knew what I wanted to do, but I was self centered which made me super miserable. Now, I live to give and honestly have found my life and a lot of joy! :) My "kids" are now 21 and 23 and I enjoy them so much! I can't imagine life without them.

[@shiloweannesings]

@@mo-sl4bj Women don't have to sacrifice their dreams completely..it's okay to postpone them a bit and do what you feel is right in your gut. I think that's what Sara is doing. As a mother, she SHOULD follow that gut feeling. She's right, her babies need her right now and she needs them. They are only little for a short time. There is no reason why she wouldn't be able to continue pursuing her dream in a different way that works for her and her family. This show is not the end all be all of pursing this kind of dream. I was on this path in Nashville and then realized, having a family was more important to me than continuing on a path that wasn't necessarily going to bring me the kind of joy and fulfillment as having a family of my own. I don't regret it for one second. I still love to sing, I just do it for me and whoever else wants to listen though and that's enough for me. People think being famous is this, always wonderful, fulfilling thing. Sometimes it isn't. That industry is brutal. It tries to absorb you. It takes A LOT of effort to not lose yourself completely. There are other ways to fulfill a dream of singing for others. Some even find a way of making a living from it, without all the intensity of being "famous".

[@enikan73]

She haven't used enough time Just on her kids to "lose herself" yet. There will come a time for everyone when not doing things for themselves the feeling of having lost a piece of own personality. That is what happens after some years. And Sara Beth is Sooo God! She could win ALL of this! Also, if signing with a record label she would secure her and All her Family Future. I HOPE she sign up with someone and does a career of this! *This kind of uniqueness is So Rare! And Sara Beth Got IT! The Full Package!

[@sommermcdaniel9723]

It was the right choice for her. I definitely think that it is never a bad choice if its for selfless reasons especially for raising kids. However, people don't just want to sing for fame. If singing is your passion and you want to make money at your passion, it involves media presence. If you don't have supporters you will not make money on it and therefore cannot fulfill that dream. So I think wanting to be a mother to your kids and having a passion for music that you want to make a career out of are 2 different things. One is not better than the other, because one requires fame to have success.

[@jadOreMEii]

She has a great voice! I hope that we see her again in the future.

[@TheGuyWithNoSubsForAReason]

look up Last October by Sara Beth. Its her first original and is on her YT page. She is releasing a new song tomorrow as well!

[@jessicarodriguez5398]

Sara Beth did the right thing. Time passes in the blink of an eye. The time away from seeing her babies grow can never be retrieved. Well done.

[@kaikai2meripng]

Mad props. Mama can sing. Total respect for her courage and wisdom to say no to what is good and yes to what is best. ❤️ No, self love is not on par with mother love. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends…. or in this case, that she lay down her life for her children. I hope we get to see her music on YT in her own time.

I REALLY love her tone and style. She’s got this IMPECCABLE jazzy vibrato and I’m LIVING for it. 🥰 And remember too, that this is COMPLETELY raw and natural talent. She’s never trained. Imagine in a few years when she had some proper voice lessons, and her confidence grows AND her babies are a bit older/ more independent?! She’ll be ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE. Like she could EASILY WIN.

[@kayleeporter7172]

I love her she is so much like me, being a mom of 3 and loving to make music. 💗

[@TheGingering]

Self love is not near as big as motherly love. I’ve got an adult child and a teenager and I would still lay down my life for either one of them in a heartbeat.

[@onmywayeast]

She was at a crossroads and she did what was best - for her and her family. She will never get the time back with her children. For a young lady, she has shown great wisdom. She is looking ahead, not just at the here and now. If it is meant to be, opportunity will come around again. Heck, opportunity could present itself now-just in a different way

[@mangoqueen6699]

We got you, Mama. I know how it feels. Moms guilt is real. When you're ready, hope you'll come back. we are just here to support...❤

[@Living_Connectedness]

I hope she realises that it isn’t about winning, it’s about enjoying the journey and yes self-love, showing her children she can pursue her other love as well as loving them. She’s amazing and life is for living, not just for your children but for all it’s worth and experiences. The time away will make her heart fonder and fill her cup for her babies.

[@GuitargurlSJ]

YES, so well said! I agree 100%!

[@gravitytwo4088]

Young children BOND WITH THEIR MOTHER, up to about age 4 to 5 (that's IF the newborn/infant bonded with the mother in the first place). It's not really optional for a mom, AND it takes being present (although with zoom, etc. maybe some absense can be okay - I raised my kiddos before the zoom age). After 4 or 5, kids start venturing out more and bonding with others more. If they are a son they will naturally go towards their father to bond with more. Daughters will still have that bond with their mothers as the same sex example, but to a lesser degree as they venture out into the world, That original bond with mother and child (and with father) forms a foundation of security.

[@Living_Connectedness]

@@gravitytwo4088 I couldn’t agree more. A woman can work and raise children, why can she not pursue a passion rather than just spend hours contributing to the wallets of a big corporation?

[@johnhendricks2437]

Sara you are a very good singer and I think particularly vocally talented - whether you come back to idol or not you will have a lot of sweet idol memories and victories just in the little time you spent there. You’re a good classy mom and have a darn good voice real!!!

Your time with your baby ur child is way more important than whatever Katy call self love cause when your kids grow up, you cannot reverse time and experience it again….. Her choosing to leave is self love for herself and her kids

[@AhiLifestyle]

[@eadieharley190]

I understand. My son was born when I was eighteen and my daughter when I was 22. I graduated from nursing school when I was 32. I was the best Mom, the best Nurse, the best Grandma. I'm 71 now. During my life, I did lots of singing, but it was for enjoyment, not my "Purpose in Life". What I gave to the world thru my kids, my grandchildren, and my Nursing career was so much more than I ever could have given thru singing.

I’m not a mother, so I don’t understand this comment. Does it mean you love your kids, before you love yourself? Would kids sense you don’t love yourself?

[@mechinithappen9710]

@@gloriakummer5357 it means you sacrifice for you children because they come first. before your potential career even. Would kids sense you don’t love yourself? i dunno are most kids psychics? do you watch stranger things a lot? i mean i guess what i was expecting for commenting on a video where people come to watch american idol. i did this to myself.

[@crystalyensko2645]

She said self love is as important as motherly love and its true. If you don't love and care for yourself you can't be the best for the people you love and care about. It's important to invest in yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually. That being said, I think her choice to go home is great because that's what she wanted. She seems happy as a mom and as a tiktok personality and that's great for her. I wish her happiness.

There will be plenty of time for her to kick off her music career and follow her dreams once her babies are a little older but she will never get this time with them again, it is the most precious thing in life and I commend her devotion and her priorities. It's not just a sacrifice for her kids, it's for her too, for her soul to be at peace. She is absolutely following her heart and it's brave and admirable! Breath of fresh air. Her kids are super lucky for such a loving and talented mother. She can sing for them now and sing for us later...

[@sincerelyheatherlynne]

I think we can use her story as a lesson on quitting & choosing our own paths. I also think there's nothing inferior about the choice she has made. I made a whole video about it.

[@marquittabelote9128]

I agree and disagree. Life is all about living in the moment and sometimes you don't get opportunities like this often. You don't know what tomorrow holds. I am a mother and it is important for our children to see us sacrifice for our dreams just as well as we sacrifice for them. I actually think that her kids being so little is an advantage to her. It seems that she has a great loving support system behind her and it was something that made her go to Idol in the first place. I think she should stick it out. And this coming from a mother.
