Props to the piano player for not missing a beat and continuing even when she stopped. It kept her going.

I'm so glad you did this version. It's much more raw and real than the studio recording. This always gets me in my feels. Kelly has such incredible power and emotion in her voice.

This will break your heart. If parents don’t think their actions have repercussions, they are fooling themselves. I cry every time I hear this. Every. Time.

Great reaction man. As for the song she is drawing on her own life experiences . 100% her story in this song.

This makes me cry. Every. Time.

This breaks my heart every time I hear it. It hits home hard!!! This is about her Father.

I grew up with my dad and though he has his own personal demons he always tried to make sure we knew we were loved. Now as adults more than ever. I cry every time I hear this song.

As a single mother this song just fucking breaks my heart every time I hear it.

This one made me cry, usually does with songs from her. The song "Because of You" hits me the hardest. Because of my mother. I can never go through the song without having tears. I will add, not many songs bring out the feels but this did.

This song is brutal. Kelly does NOT have a good father. Per her. As a mother of a boy who doesn't have his father, it's emotional for me, for him. As a lady who went through a lot with my Dad, it's emotional. She's amazing.

Same as you & Kelly. I tried so hard to win my father's love but was rejected many times over. I wrote a very detailed poem about my feelings & he told me off when I was 15. Didn't put him in the best light but it was MY truth. Reached out on Facebook & I think he blocked me then un unblocked me. My kids asked me a few times what I did to make my father not love me. Tough question... some people don't deserve to be parents. There are couples out there who are going through miscarriages & invetro who would make amazing parents. Then you have others that bring a life into this world with no regard for anyone but themselves. I'd say God shouldn't bless them with a child but I wouldn't be here any other way. The mothers have it harder than anyone. I can't imagine raising my kids alone with all the struggles and sacrifices. Mentally, emotionally and financially. Much love to all the single mothers out there. I always think of the song Keep Ya Head Up by Tupac.

I remember watching this Live and bawled my eyes out there alongside Kelly and the judges

Love Kelly! Her voice is everything.

It's a heart breaking song. She is talking about her father.

what`s a Dad?,,,,,i don`t know how it feels to have one,,,,,he left when i was 7 years old,,,,,,i can relate to this song.....i really cried when i first heard this.,,,,,,

It's her story her father really abandoned her a lot of people can relate.

I’m sure you’ve already learned from previous comments, but this is Kelly’s song. Her father walked out on her at six years old. And later he came back after she made it big and boring stuff from her and thank God she didn’t give it to her but the sun hurts! I lived it! I’m 55 years old and I’m still dealing with it. Thank you for doing a reaction to this version. Now you should probably check out her original version which tells a larger story. It’ll go from sad to very happy!

She wrote this about her father who left her and her stepfather who stepped in . Heartbreaking

As I’ve gotten older I’ve met so many people who had absent or irresponsible parents. Makes me so grateful to have two involved loving parents even though they got divorced I never saw or heard them yell fight or insult each other

KELLY IS A SWEETHEART..... TO THIS DAY IN 2023 SHE STILL CAN'T SING THE ENTIRE SONG WITHOUT HER VOICE CRACKING. IT'S SO DEEP AND PERSONAL FOR HER. I imagine by now you've read up on how this Song came about and the Reasons she wrote it. THERE IS A PART 2 TO THIS SONG THAT WAS RELEASED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND IT'S NAMED "ME"..... After the Life Event's she Wrote of in Piece by Peace her Song "ME" is a Followup to those Life Event's basically. Ole Girl is DEEP

This could be my song, cuz it happened to me. I cry every time I watch or hear this.

Her husband is the one who "put her back together" but she's singing to her father who left and only wanted back when she was famous. And she knows her husband is always going to be a great father to their daughter.

I cried my eyes out, I didn't grow up with my father there much but when he was it was for a selfish reason

I cry every time i hear this song

Chills and tears 😢 💔 😭

Yep!

Kelly after what you went through your so amazing

Kelly Clarkson's music video, "Because of you" is also powerful.

Her soul sang this song.

This is her story and so many others. So powerful 🧡🧡🧡🧡

DAMN... that hit hard.

All I can say is, based on what you said at the end, you are a good dude RedTop!

She's talking about her birth father he left when she was 6, then when she got famous then he wanted to come back.

Yes. Her father left her Mom, her & her sister when Kelly was 6. Then her husband comes to pick up her broken pieces to put her back together. And Kelly's daughter wont have to worry because her parents wont leave her. But ironically, Kelly's husband did leave & they divorced.

Yes she is!

I love this song

this song she wrote about her dad

its her life story from what i know

❤️❤️❤️

Truth

Yes that’s exactly what it’s about

yes

So many of us can relate to not having our fathers in our lives. My father was too much of a weak person and out himself in a lot of criminal ways. I've forgiven him but must of all I have forgiven myself due to self sabotaging. You are strong and bad ass! So keep your head held high, this too shall pass.

Everytime I hear this song I think of my granddaughter and the a dad she barely knew, I see her struggles with her self esteem and I get mad at him all over again. I thank God she had her Grandpa the only positive male in her life.

This is about her. Her father abandoned her 😢❤

Basically this is her life story. The he that stayed was her husband; however, we see how that turned out.

Yes she’s talking about her father

This is how badly you break your baby girl’s heart. It stays with her into her womanhood. No matter how successful she becomes, her heart is still broken. 😔

She said ‘I’m super pregnant’

This is a strong woman

I heard that for real..

Yes. Her dad.

So sad, when she got famous, all of sudden he's trying to contact her, like so many when a parent walks away and they think they should be be paid, she shut him down real fast, like all should

This is a true story about her life . She wrote this song about her dad leaving. The man who picked her up and restored her faith about a father being kind and taking care of his kids is her husband.

I have that type of relationship with my father I was nothing till I had my own money and my own life

If you don't cry when you watch this, there is something wrong with your heart.

😢😢😢😢😢

Similar to Kellie Pickler. Listen to I Wonder, live version. She had a hard time writing + singing this. 😭 Kelly Clarkson had a hard time writing this song. 😭

Kelly wrote this song about her father. He came back when she got her career going. But he was acting as if she owed him. Leaving when she was 6 and then refusing to be in her life when she flew out to see him when she was old enough. Not much of a father

She is singing about her father.....

My so called mother did this to me.

She's talking about her father who left her

Kelly is talking about her childhood.

👍. Bryan Adams Heaven🙏

She is talking about her life her father

Talk about her father her stepfather pick her up and then her husband also she talking about

It's about her dad

She wrote this of here father she had to get permission from her brother. They spoke but there relationships never connect .

about her dad

It about her dad

Have you done reactions to the guy that sings your intro songs? Alec Benjamin?

Her dad

My Dad and I never made it. Was it his fault, was it my fault?Of course not. This song doesn’t,’ strictly apply to our situation but somehow I think that if we had heard this together things would have been better. I would have listened to him tell me about the 5 years he was a prisoner of war and understood . He

Can you react to Eminem Mockingbird or Eminem castle and arose

He ended up doing her dirty... going through a divorce. Not say ya but men always seem to do us women dirty. Such a beautiful song to end with what has happened lately.

Deep she loved her husband and praised him to have him cheat and divorce he did exactly what her dad go all the way for her 💰

Gutsy performance. Great writing Kelly

So rude.She is crying,but you are laughing.
