Holy shit I’m crying.

Oh man I just had to hold it together since I’ve already cried in my office once this week. My mom has a similar story to Kelly (not the multi-million dollar singing career though). Her father left we she was 16. My father put her back together when they met at 18 and was the most amazing dad who was there for…

I looked it up, his father died in December. I think too that as a father to two girls that could be really emotional as well, not to mention that her performance was incredibly moving.

She wrote this as a follow-up to Because of You, and I’m happy she got to perform it on Idol. Just from this performance, the song hit #1 on iTunes and the album went from the 1500s to #3.

Thank Cheesus my two coworkers are both coming in late today so I have time to compose myself.

I cried last night so hard watching this Kelly alwsys wrote such sad heartbreaking songs about her dad she is a true artist

Kelly Clarkson is a national treasure we don’t deserve.

I remember her father crawling out of the woodwork during Kelly’s Idol season. Through most of the run, you’d see her friends and her mother in the audience cheering. Then, on finale night, out popped her dad. As in, “My daughter is famous and soon-to-be rich, I should stop by and say hello. And, maybe pretend like I…

I love how she still sounds great, after a high-profile career, two pregnancies, etc., that voice is still going strong. And I love seeing a performer so emotionally connected to her song even crying a bit, but not fake- dramatically, and still getting through it. You rock, Kelly.

Cool, cool, I definitely needed to bawl uncontrollably at my desk before lunch on a Friday.

That performance was everything. I loved it so, so much.

This is pretty much the exact age that my wife’s father left her and her 2 siblings behind. We still hear from him from time to time, but it amazes me how she manages to not be bitter towards him.

Oh that song hit me DIRECTLY in the feels. My dad didn’t leave when I was 6, but he is an alcoholic and addict and we have been estranged for many years, and last time he got in touch was right after I got my second degree. My husband also restored my faith in men and even though we’re not having kids I know he’d be a…

Sometimes it seems like these people who were famous pre-social media don’t realize the rules of the game have changed, so they just keep doubling-down on their fuck-ups. Or maybe they can’t afford a publicist to tell them to STFU? Or maybe they are just so happy to be briefly famous again they are milking it for all…

Silk smoking/jogging suit! Would wear ironically. Love the “You’ve come a long way, baby!” patch.

Agreed.

I will fully welcome our Ant Overlords as well

I will fully welcome our future ape overlords once they defeat Trump.

Best I can tell, no one lives in downtown/central Tulsa. The whole movie would be someone wandering around wondering where the fuck all the other people are.
