Her live performance on American idol was sooo much better❤

She wrote this after her daughter (River) was born about her father (Kelly's father, who did abandon her) and her husband (Brandon) restored her faith in men that fathers could stay and be great, they now have 2 children, River and Remington. They've been married almost 8yrs.

I love this one. The live version she did on the Finale of American Idol a few years ago though....I can barely get through it. SO emotional...I bawl every single time.

This was written by Kelly about her dad & her childs father changing her mindset about a dad. Kelly is REAL about her dad leaving her, LOVE this song, Thanks for sharing...

I’m pretty sure she’s talking about her husband picking her up piece by piece, after her father abandoned her. He restored her faith in men and appreciates him being a great father to their kids.

"Oh hell no!" That just gave me life tonight. haha

I remember when I heard this for the first time. My “father” is an abusive, alcoholic narcissist who I haven’t had any communication with in nearly 4 years. My mom walked into my room with tears in her eyes and said “play this. She’s telling your story. You have a voice speaking for you, baby.” She walked out so I could be alone and I played it. As soon as it started I started sobbing. It felt so good to finally feel understood. I am forever grateful for this song because in some of my darkest moments, it was a light.

Your reactions are always great. The Americas talent version of thus song i personally like more.

As a girl /woman whose father has chosen to be absentee most of my life, I have learned that his choice stems from his own insecurity and shame....but it still hurts all the same. The hardest part about watching Kelly sing this on the American Idol final show (2016) is knowing that the man (her husband) who "picked her up" eventually let her down, too. The amazing thing is how Kelly perseveres through it all and continues to spread love to so many people.💖

"Stronger"one of her best

I can’t get through this performance without crying. As a farther of a six-year-old myself, this song absolutely wrecks me, and it breaks my heart to think how many kids there are out there that don’t know if they are loved like that or not

this song is about her father walking out and abandoning her when she was 6 and her husband now, being a good father and showing her that a man CAN be a good father and he can stay :) Her American Idol performance is the one to watch... super super emotional

This is based on her father leaving her and her husband coming into her life and building her up and never leaving her and her daughter that you see at the end. She also says that she'll never abandon her and will put her first and that line if about her daughter..

Please, please, please react to Kelly’s “Piece by Piece” American Idol Series finale. You will feel it even more.

The one she performed for American Idol shows her emotions toward this song while singing it live and it makes me cry every time. I relate to this song on a personal level but with the opposite parent and it hurts.

Kelly's dad and mom got divorced when Kelly was six. Since then, Kelly has tried to have a relationship with her father, but he didn't want to. Her father passed away in 2018. But Kelly got married to Brandon Blackstock and they have four children. The older two, Savannah and Seth, are from Brandon's previous marriage, and River and Remington are the two they both have together. Kelly claims all four. Brandon is the person Kelly's talking about putting the pieces back together. He's a great father to their children. Thanks for the reaction to this video!

"I Wonder" by Kellie Pickler (The live at the CMAs video) is another good one

As other commenters have said, the AI version is awesome, you should watch it just for your 0wn enjoyment. She sang it when she was pregnant with her little boy and it was a very emotional performance ❤

This is actually about her husband never leaving her daughter. But I personally think it can be about a step father too. My sperm donor left me too, so my step dad who is my DAD raised me and I dedicated this song to him. He filled all the voids I had in my heart from that man not wanting me.. great reaction... I see you have never reacted to Dimash.. he is the best singer.. wonderful voice and full of emotion.. he is from kazickstan, 26, 6 octave voice sings in 12 languages and plays 8 instruments... His signature song is s.o.s sung in the singer in 2017. It's a Chinese singing competition that invites only established artist's and dimash was actually a wild card on the show and blew them away.. it's a song sung in French... Or if you prefer a english song first he sings The show must go on. A queen cover, or hello the lionel richie version. Or all by myself... Can you please do a reaction.. thank you... New subscriber ♥️

this song hits a spot that is unexplainable. me and my 2 sisters have 2 different dads and to see what my sisters dad had put them through in the past hurts me. they had to see him get arrested multiple times. he showed up to my youngest sisters birth high on drugs. he broke her arm at 3yr old. he dislocated my mom shoulders. and after all that he walks out and decides to come back 7 years later which is unnecessary. he’s put my family through hell. but now my stepdad has taken the girls in with open arms. and as an only daughter to my dad, he’s welcomed my sisters into his life as well. this is so inspirational😭♥️

My daddy was the "wind beneath my wings" ...always no matter what...check out that song also...Bette Midler - "the wind beneath my wings"

The live version is 10x better. You can feel ever word she is singing. I believe it was on American Idol. Not a dry eye in house. The song hit home bc my nieces played this song for me. I raised the 3 of them 14,13,5 those are my girls. Me and my wife became parents at 26 and she was 21

yes

She’s talking about her father abandoning her then she is talking about her husband who will never leave her or her kids. This is Kelly’s true story!

You should check out the live version. She even struggled herself to get through the song because she cried.

The live on American Idol is so much more emotional 😭

This song always gets me . My real dad never claimed me as his but thankfully God blessed me with a dad (step dad) who took me in as his own sadly he passed away last year :( Great video as always birdman :)

This is my song to my husband. My step dad was extremely abusive towards me, my sons fathers walked completely out of their lives and my husband stepped way the hell up, he adopted our boys and would never walk away from them ever.

You have to watch the live performance from American Idol she did for this song.

Her father left her and the stepfather loved and raised her

i love this song my real dad gave up his rights to my sister and me it always makes me cry

Ah man, you really needed to listen to the American Idol version. The music is too up beat for the song. The arrangement was much better on the other version.

Bird man the song is her story of how her husband Brandon at that time helping to pick her up and all of the broken pieces in her life when her father left her at a young age and to help her restore her faith in men during the pain she initially associated with men due to her fathers treatment

You must check out the live version from American Idol if you want to react to it that's cool but even if you don't you must see it.. very powerful performance

I feel so bad for Kelly...and I hate to say it, but I read Brandon from early on and didn’t fully trust him....it’s very sad for her

This song is about her father leaving her and she’s talking about her husband in the song to

I am not sure why they made this a faster song when it is such an emotional song. She did a live version on American Idol a few years back, it is so much better in my opinion. Beware though its a tear jerker.

Love your reactions. I just found you not to long ago, but love it. Love the emotion.

This summarizes my life. My father was half ass my father til I was 13 then basically ghosted me and it truly took my husband to show me I was worth it. I had 2 children with a guy who wasn't worth it but thankfully my husband reentered my life and showed me and my boys that we are worth it and we deserve love that doesn't require us to jump through ridiculous hoops. I married a wonderful man who is a sailor and I be damn if my father didn't try to make hella nice after. Once he realized nah I don't have time for that no more he has shown his true side but intentional mistaking my husband as Mexican knowing full damn well he is Puerto Rican. We know he does it because he knows it's how to get under my husband's skin. Sucks to be my sperm donor because my husband nor me refuses to engage

I can relate to this song so much. My sperm donor walked away when I was 5. Lived 30 minutes from me. Never saw him after he left. Love the reaction!!

Would love to see you react to I Love You This Much by Jimmy Wayne. Love the videos!!!

The Idol version will make you cry big!

My so called mother did this to me.

I dare you to watch the American Idol version of hers.

Please check out the live version from American Idol. Much better.

Her Mother's Father (Grandfather)

Please react to get live version on American idol. So emotional

You NEED to react to her live performance of this song on American idol

Dude, this isn’t terrible. But you need to check out the version she did on the last episode of American Idol!!! The live version is actually perfection! It’s about her! It’s about her step-father

Watch the live version on American Idol

Her father left and she’s talking bout her husband loving her and their daughter

Kelly Pickler has a similar song, but this time her mom left.

It's about how her husband is a better father and husband than her father was. Her father left her but her husband will never leave her and their children.

And her husband!!!

About her own father who left her at 6 yes old married someone who care for her

You have to watch the live American idol version. It is so much better.

i have been abandon 3 times never wanted adopted 3 times beaten and raped for my first bday never loved but by the grace of GOD i am still here i am 71 now just got divorced after 47 yrs but dam i am still here

This is somewhat a continuation of her song "Because Of You" which she wrote and recorded in 2004. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMddgtBourO3epc.html

That's a great reaction! The live version on American Idol is so much better though. It's really tear-jerking :(

I have two daughters, one is 30 years old and the other is 19 years old… They both have different fathers.. and neither one of my girls have ever met their fathers and they have never paid child support either

This is about her real father. This is the true story about her life. The baby she is holding is her baby girl River.

Yeah he sung about him in because of you

Great video! You should check out: Love Song - Miranda Lambert Choctaw County Affair- Carrie Underwood

Kelly Clarkson just did a cover of you say by Lauren Daigle. Dedicated to all the front line workers and nurses. Please react

It's her father

You need to check out piece by piece on American Idol's last season, now that will make you cry, that was way better than this one

And now they are divorced. Hope he still sees the kids!

I know when I seen you were going to react to this you would pass it good song and reaction

I thought this was the version on American Idol is way way better!

About her father who left her

yes she is getting divorced she was married to reba macentires son

Supposed to do the live American idol performance, much better.

Yes it's a true story about her father leaving her and her mom and then her step dad loving her.. The last verse is about her husband

I love the message of the song. I don't like the song musically. Thank you anyway for reacting to this Mr. Birdman.

so...you have to watch the american idol version....have Kleenex handy

Dang it..."he" is asking for money now! Big money. Their divorce is nasty! She wrote this about her dad and her husband. Very sad! Prayers for them!

the official video is nowhere near as good as the first time she debuted the song live on Idol. It's much better stripped down and without all the techno pop production. check it out, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtulodSXyeCXaGw.html

The better version of this is the live version of her at the finale of American Idiol. I love Kelly but this version loses a lot of rhe song's impact in my opinion.

She looks like Cote De Pablo in this video. I love the song but don't like the upbeat pop vibe in this version. Her AI live version was more on point. Raw and stripped down with just the piano.

I hope u not the one I love btw
