ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in March 2019 for its second season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2018, as the Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering 23 cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

I don't know exactly how he feels but I know the feeling my brother took his life on our sisters birthday October 12th 2008 I will never forget the tone of my mother's voice when she called me I was about to go to work and when she told me I felt like I lost control I fell to my knees I couldn't breathe and I could only think I have to get to my mom dad and sister but I couldn't move then I hear this horrible screaming like nothing I have ever heard it was me. And since that day I have had this empty feeling in my heart. RIP Big Bro RIP to your brothers as well.

I wouldn't have the guts to do it all at once. Unless it was really bad, but I can only imagine what their brothers were going through. I just hope that they made it....

My heart breaks for this family. My mom attempted suicide when I was young and I remember wondering why she didn't love enough to want to live. I never thought I would ever be someone who contemplated taking my own life but I was wrong. I have been in constant physical pain for almost thirty-five years. There are many days I don't want to live but I'm not ready to die. Suicide is a permanent solution to an often temporary problem. I remember reading that if a parent commits suicide then there children are 50% more liking to commit suicide. I'm not sure if that's true but I hope I will never be selfish enough to cause my loved ones to suffer just to end mine. God bless any family who has lost loved ones because of depression.

@lilihbih6983 5 жыл бұрын

you're strong, and i'm sure you will stay strong! if any other person with depression is reading this, i know how difficult it is, and how it affects every situation in life, and how other people who don't suffer from depression often don't understand us even though we explained it to them very logically. it's hard, and you can't fix it very easily. but you shouldn't throw it all away, even if it all feels meaningless and painful. you shouldn't. think of the good moments that you had, think of the positive emotions. you can get there again. get rid of negative people, even if it's hard. i know you can do it. laying in bed all day isn't the way to go, go out and take a walk, alone, even if it's hard to get up. just try it out. i swear, you can do it.

@sharonw.9091 5 жыл бұрын

@@lilihbih6983Bless you Leonie for reaching out to me and others. Unless someone has been in that emotional darkness they can't truly understand. I don't understand how anyone is able to live through hardships and pain, whether physical or emotional without a higher power. Sometimes I pray for the strength to get through the next few minutes and I'm always given that strength. I will never understand why my family and I have went through the struggles and loses we have in this life. I have to believe there is a Devine purpose that we'll one day know.

This is what other people don't understand the level of despair that drives people to suicide! Too many people blame the victims of despair and sadness instead of realizing this world his full of negativity and hate that pushes some people over the side of the mountain!! I only have compassion and a deep hope that people will embrace each other and just love each other. This brother should never feel he deserted his brother because sometimes people just tell you everything is okay and then they commit suicide. I don't know if there was anything he really could have done. I loved his song and inspiration and hope only the best for him and his family and other survivors of suicide. We should all embrace each other and love each other~~

The pain that he must, and his family must’ve gone through I can only imagine is unbearable. And he harbors guilt for being away. I hope he realizes that even if he was not in Japan the same thing still could have happened because if someone is determined and doesn’t want help there is not much you can do. I reconnected with a childhood friend on Facebook. Her sister who she adored had commit suicide. Her family’s way of dealing with it was to not talk about it. She ended up committing suicide two months later. I had no idea she was in so much pain because it has been literally decades since we had talked, but it’s a horrible thing when it happens once let alone twice. I still think of this kid hope he is all right and has gotten some sort of counseling for losing his two best friends

i can relate to this so much! my mom had 4 kids, my brother then my sister then my other sister and me. when i was 5 my 15 year old sister took her life, 3 years later 1 day after my 8th birthday my 12 year old sister took her life too. when i was 8 i started getting su*cidal but i stayed strong for my mom and brother then my mom got diagnosed with cancer and sadly passed when i was 12. last year i turned 14 and my brother went with my sisters and mom, now it’s just me and i live with my friend and her mom (her mom took custody of me). i also still struggle with depression and su*vial thoughts but my mom wanted me to achieve my dream on becoming an actor and i will become an actor for my mom! r.i.p my sister Hayley, my sister Kesley, my mom and my brother Lukas 😭🕊
