Michael Rice: Sings Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" For His Late Father - American Idol 2024
Рет қаралды 1,025,612
2 ай бұрынMichael had a very difficult childhood in Hartlepool, England. His dad wasn't around when he was young -- and then when Michael was 17, just after they'd rekindled their relationship, his dad passed away. Hearing his father say he was proud of Michael for singing left a lasting impression on him and drove him to audition for IDOL.

It’s kinda wild how a parent can be mostly absent, say one nice thing to the kid, and then be the one made a hero. Should’ve sang a song for his mom instead but AI has become the trauma Olympics.

Im sorry to hear hoe much you went through growing up, but its helped to produce a miracle of a voice and such a raw and emotional performance. Im sure your dad would be so proud. Wish you the best of luck with the competition! Look after yourself! Healthy eating, diet and exercise. Little revamp of the image, and with that voice?! . Unstoppable mate!!! You're super cute and handsome too. Good luck!!! Will be rooting for you xxx
