I CRIED.... AGAIN!!! KELLY CLARKSON - PIECE BY PIECE (AMERICAN IDOL PERFORMANCE) | REACTION 

I saw this when she did this live on tv. I remember being shocked and feeling like I wasn’t supposed to hear it. Cried my eyes out. And did again this time.

She was 9 months pregnant here singing about her deadbeat Dad. And shortly after this song , her dirtbag husband left her and robbed her too. 😢 I love Kelly. I wish her all the best because she deserves it. Sending YOU hugs and love Sceez! You are appreciated. 😊

😢When you said you had kids of your own, I knew that beautiful line "she will never have to wonder her worth because unlike you I'm gonna put her first" was going to hit.💜

She updated (changed the lyrics) this song with her Vegas residency, after divorcing her husband. It is powerful too.

This is one of those television moments people keep with them. Pure, raw emotion. And we all felt it.

The way she so innocently and preciosuly says "sorry" to the audience always gets me

Seeing men with children speak about their children the way you do heals my inner child that needed to know this is what is right. And what was right for me, too.

This is a real man's reaction! Thank you!

Dude, I’m 53 today, literally today. I’ve adopted my son 16 years ago and have helped raise 3 stepchildren and a super granddaughter. Never can get through the first bar of this song dry eyed.

Abandonment by a father is heart breaking. Mine left me (and my sister) for drugs and alcohol. My mother remarried an abusive "stepfather" My sister and I fended for ourselves. I married a man that put me back together piece by piece. He is a great father and would never leave me or his children.

I loved it when you said.. my kids ain't never gonna sing a song like that. And , of course I loved your last line to fathers and mothers. Thanks for sharing.

It's about Kelly's estranged Dad. Heartbreaking. I cry every time I hear it. Beautiful song. Kelly has a voice like no other.

Glad your step stood up and was there for you and your brother.That is a REAL man. He taught you right,always be your children’s support system.

Thank you for being transparent and real with your reactions. It’s refreshing to see a reactor apply songs to their life and internalize them. If it’s help, I sat here and cried right along with you and Kelly 😂

Your step-dad sounds like a great man. And hearing you speak about what's important to you in your life tells me you're every bit as great as him. 💓💞

I grew up without a mom and not knowing why. When you’re a child, you just don’t understand why. Now that I’m a mother, I still don’t understand why. I couldn’t imagine leaving my children. They truly make me want to do better. Thanks for your reaction. It was beautiful. ☺️

I've watched this so many times and I still cry each time. I was blessed to have an amazing father, but unfortunately a toxic mother. As a mother of 3 myself I can not imagine not loving my children or being a part of their lives. They are my entire existence.

I think this is my favorite reaction you have ever done. Hearing your story (which is very much like my own and probably others), and hearing about the unconditional love you have for your children, just melts my heart. They are so lucky to have you as their father. I don’t know how Kelly got through this song, I’ve heard it so many times and still end up bawling my eyes out.

Wow, I think you made me cry harder than she did. You have an amazing story, too. Your kids are very lucky to have you as their Dad:)

Baby, my mom left me at 10! I’m 47!My dad was the ONE that put me first! I call my daddy every Mother’s Day!

One of the most gut wrenching songs ever written. 100%. This song makes me bawl everytime.

This song hits. My father dipped when mom was pregnant. My uncle stepped in and helped my mom raise me. My uncle taught me everything I know and how to be a man. I lost him June 1st of 2022 and this song slapped me hard today. Thank you for this reaction video.

Awesome reaction. I lost my beautiful 19yr old son to Fentanyl in 2022. I thank god every day that I did/do put my children first and my son KNEW how much I loved him, I know how much he loved me. We still love each other and will see each other again. Love your children, keep an eye on their self esteem and cherish EVERY MOMENT WITH THEM.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion!

she a Amazing woman that song is so so touching it puts tears to your eyes she deserves the best God bless her I love her music

Your my first reaction video for this song. Actually my first I’ve seen of your channel. I didn’t expect to get stuck…. Here… I’ve listened to this song dozens of time. But I’ve never watched such a handsome strong man be so authentic and allow this vulnerability to be displayed. You are so amazing and it’s so refreshing to see your transparency and honesty. Thank you for being you. You’re the real deal. Epitome of a man.

Kelly won the very first Idol. Idol quit for awhile but it’s been back a few years now.

Kelly Clarkson is someone to look up to. She went from living in her car when she did the first American idol and look at her now. And I'm not just talking about being famous. I just mean it in life.

This song brings me to tears because I last saw my own father when I only 6yrs old. I never saw him again and he passed away when I was 18. But I didn't allow my childhood to prevent me from being the very best mother to my own 2 children. God Bless all those who have been hurt when they were young. Our past doesn't determine our worth.

Hey, so proud of You!!! You really nailed it when you stated that a lot of us go through hardship, but it’s what we learn from it all and how we choose to move forward, live our lives and love our children in order to end all of the broken messed up cycles (I paraphrased, sorry). You are to be highly commended for your incredible insight and dedication to being the best dad for your babies that you know in your heart is best for them and you too! Then that all ripples out, ya know? Keep on keepin on, babe! You’re Golden!!

I have goosebumps as Kelly starts this song on an incredibly high note with such emotion from the very beginning 😂!! Happy/touched tears and goosebumps!! Kelly you never fail us with your talent and devotion!! You continue to amaze your viewers!! ❤ ❤

I literally cry every time I hear this song. It truly makes me grateful for my father and my husband, and REAL men like you. ❤❤

She was season 1 winner!!! Love her!!!!❤❤❤

I cry EVERY time I hear this. Love your reaction. It doesn't matter who it's about in your life,as long as you feel it.

When a parent leaves their child you never ever forget. The pain is real and eternal! Love KC. Best singer, songwriter that ever exists. She is the Queen! ❤️🎶🌟☝️🙏

Mad props to all the men and women that stepped in and stepped up to that parental figure with a ready made family Nothing but love 💗

Both of my parents were abusive and I basically raised myself and I have made sure my sons know they are loved and supported. Sometimes I think we are better parents because we learned what NOT to do. You seem like a beautiful soul. ❤

The song is about Kelly's father abandoning her, but then her meeting her (now ex) husband and him healing those wounds and showing her what a father can be to his kids by being a great dad to their daughter! Their marriage did not end well!!

It definitely takes courage to put yourself out there like this! It was brave of you too!! Be that hero daddy!

The strength of you showing you tears shows the strength of your heart. Great reaction sir.

I love the fact that you connect with this story just to this song what a real man who will admit it and they got better because of it you're a good man you sound like a good father keep up the good work I'm proud of you love grandma Kathy❤ from Texas

Thank you for sharing your story. Family isn't always about blood but who showed up and stayed. Beautiful song too. Forgot how good Kelly Clarkson is.

Blessings to you and to all who are fathers and mothers….do the best you can and God will always be with you and your family !

Big love and respect to your step-dad! The world needs good men. So glad that you had one in your life, teaching you how to be one! Big props! Big love! Much respect!!! Peace and love from Texas!

Holy shit man, 😢😮 I'm here for REALISM!!! THANKS MAN??!!! BEAUTIFUL!

Sceek... I adore you! ❤ bless you for reacting to this. Your a great guy, and I can feel the truth in how you are with your son and daughter. ❤ Heartfelt, breaking song.... Kelly captured us all, with tears and love.

That unconditional love part is a rather bitter sweet thing. In order to feel that or to show that love to someone, you have to be willing to allow yourself to be loved for what you are entitled. The good things and the bad. You must open up and be seen as others are able to see you. We often have an golden version of ourselves that we see and think everyone else sees us as being. In order to be seen in the light we must accept that the darkness exists as well. And that is the true beauty of life. To see that we are not perfect and still go out of our way to prove that wrong. Our lives are like a building. If you don’t have that foundation then eventually it will all come tumbling down. Be someone who lays down and supports someone else’s building. Fix the problems and rise up to new heights. Wow, that almost sounded like I know what I am talking about. I’m sorry, I just wanted to put that out there. I’ve heard you speak on being a father a few times and wanted you to know that although we WILL make mistakes in our lives you are starting out pretty good my friend. Much love to you and your family.

Sounds like your heart is right where it should be❤ Respect ✌️🥰

She was very pregnant when this was recorded so the emotions for her were very strong!!❤❤❤❤ 😢😢😢

Sceez, I have followed you for a year or so and have always been impressed with your personal approach. Sharing your story as Kelly shared hers was inspirational. It's a wonderful thing when you go through pain growing up and you want to make sure that your own children never go through it. I guess it is part of the circle of life. The emotion that both you and Kelly displayed was actually welcomed for it shows how genuine you are. Thanks for this, which is my favorite reaction of yours.

My Grandson just turned 1 yrs old today. His dad has never once met him face to face or even seen him on a video call. After multiple times of offering to have him come and meet his son and he turns it down every time, he tells my daughter the other day that he just isn't a kid person even though he has a kid himself. The first time he ever said his name was 2 weeks ago after my daughter told him his son has a name and it's not baby or kid. He flat out told us that he wants nothing to do with his son. He started paying a little money here and there but that's all he is willing to do. I hope and pray a good man comes into my grandson's life and becomes the dad he deserves.

So much love Sceeeeez❤️ Them baby Slimes are so blessed to have you as their father! ❤️ Kelly won the first Season of American Idol.

3:45 Yes, her dad left, but she is talking about how the father to her children treated her and picked up the pieces from the damage Kelly's father caused her.

I'm happy you can proudly say you're proud of the man you've become for your children! In a small amount of time your children will be telling friends/acquaintances how proud they are you're their dad!!!!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful reaction!!

Her real father abandoned her and her husband came in and showed her what a good father was through her children, she done another song about her father called “Because of you” Her dad really caused a lot of pain in her life

You and Kelly had me crying my eyes out... I've seen this a few times and she makes me cry every time but this time both of you did...

I subscribed because you are authentically beautifully real. I feel you and relate. Thank you for being vulnerable. Kelly is so phenomenal. Music brings us out of the mask.

I have not only watched this live. I have watched reaction videos of us probably 25 times and yours is by far I know you don't know me but very proud of you for being the father and the man that you are I can see it in your face and your reaction that your kids are your everything much much much respect💙💙💙and now I'm balling again💙

I can tell you are a good father and a good person . Love your reactions.

This one and her voice give me chills on the 1st note she hits. She has a voice straight from Heaven!!!!!!!! And I watched when she won too. I’ve followed her the whole way and knew a lot because i know Reba and they use to be in-laws. They still claim each other even though both their exes DID THEM HORRIBLY!!!! Which makes this song harder for me to hear AFTER she trusted him with EVERYTHING after He KNEW about her dad. HE WILL GET HIS DAY!!!! @Ok Sceez WE L❤VE Y❤️U and glad you got a great step dad!!!!!!! Because you are an amazing guy and why I’ve rocked with you for over 2 plus years maybe 3 now. I love when you do music and your basketball and your personality so much!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING REAL!!! Just know you have this Mississippi girl who would be help in ANY way if you ever needed it as a friend (not in a bad way anyone else reading). Sceez knows I follow him and watch and cannot comment often because of my job and he has gotten me through almost every day for the last 2 years especially. Being a 1st Responder and personal life is HARD on all of us right now. And JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO AND SAY FOR US!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I mean it!!!! I follow you on Instagram and I mean it if you and your kids ever need anything. Message me!!! Or if you get down this way or want to. I’ve loved every genre you cover. I know rap is our favorite BUT YOU LOVE SO MUCH!!!!! And phenomenal at ALL of them!!! Please keep going even on your hard days. JUST DO A REACTION MUSIC GETS US THROUGH EVERYTHING!!!! And prayers and I pray for you daily with your family. Much love from your Sceezer and Sceeze Squad

Be happy be kind and be cool is my motto may your family be blessed with all good things in store goodbye your number one fan❤❤❤😊😊😊

Appreciate your openness and vulnerability. Real men can s hm ow their emotions.

I Love you so much and I love your reactions and you always keep it real.. I'm your white adopted grandmother in canada❤❤

How could one not cry with this performance?! If there is an ounce of humanity in us it should move us to tears. Hers is a story that too many children experience and should never! It should motivate us all to ensure we go back to commitment in marriage, protecting and fighting for the solid bonds of family and self-sacrificial love for our children and each other. Marriage is a union between adults who know their responsibility to each other and to the children and will let nothing and noone interfere. Broken homes and abandonment are a plague in our society. My childhood was like hers and yours and too many others. My question is: when will we break this cycle and restore what it means to be a family and where we take care of them as the most precious thing in the whole world?! Your commitment is beautiful to see. Good man!!! You rightly said that it's hard to heal from what she described. The tragedy is ... many of us never do heal and our ability to believe in ourselves, forget having a family of our own, is destroyed.

OMG! I cried like a baby! I love her✌❤🎶

Thanks for sharing your pain. Stay strong 💪and be kind to yourself. Kelly is a beautiful soul. 👊

Shout out to you too for being vulernable and transparent. I'm glad the song has extra meaning for you as sometimes music can be a great healer.

u rock, Sceezaramo. heartfelt reaction to incredible, heartbreaking performance.

Love Kelly ❤️ she's still so real even now, this song chokes me up every time

I just know you are a great dad to your little slimes and I appreciate you

I know I don’t know you personally but you’re a good man & a great father, I can tell that just by this reaction! Keep being you my man! Love ya man

Oh honey, sending hugs ❤️ you ROCK what a awesome young man you are!!

Between this song and your reaction it reminds me of my father, he grew up with an abusive alcoholic my uncle told me once he had planned jumping out of the window to escape the house, and my dad was always working or sleeping when I was growing up. When we were old enough to work in the business it felt like my dad became my friend and that was our relationship, I always figured that he was a good dad by knowing what not to do and therefore just did the opposite of what he grew up with. I appreciate that your words made me feel like there are some more great self taught dads out there. After hearing about the struggles he went through and the way he was with my brother and me, I always felt that my dad was a great dad just by over coming the his beginnings and being the person he figured we needed instead of copying what he saw like other dads did. My hat off to you and every other parent who had to learn parenting on their own

The past drives the future. We learn from it and decide what our futures will be. God bless you and your children. Always 🙏🏼

So love that the song resonates with you and how you took parts of the song and relate it to your real life. This is a real life story for Kelly and her family. Her father legit up and and left and only came back when she was in American Idol and won the first season. I don’t know if her mother ever remarried or if Kelly had another father figure in her life like a step-dad or uncle. She never really talked or sang about it..she mostly sang about her absentee father. But during this time of the performance she was married and had a child and was pregnant with her second child. So the whole part of the song when she said “HE NEVER WALKS AWAY.. HE NEVER ASKS FOR MONEY.. HE TAKES CARE OF ME.. CUZ HE LOVES ME..” was about her husband. Especially now that they are in a heated divorce currently.. she has a continuation of this song about her ex-husband LOL. She also also took out all the mentions of her ex in “Piece by Piece” in recent performances..and replaced it with HER..talking about HERSELF.

I love your reactions Sceez! You are so real! And there is no shame in showing your emotions, I think there is a lot of people who cried with Kelly. Too many people are discarded by parents and that is sad!

My level of respect for you is so high man you are one in a lifetime I am so happy that I find your channel you just don’t know what you doing helps a lots of your fans is like that song “ Leave a light on “ THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DOING YOUR AN ANGEL 🙏

Oh wow. Thank you so much for this video. I requested this the other day as well. Amazing song and performance. Kelly did a song called I dare you that she recorded live during a zoom session in 6 different languages with 5 other artists... You won't be disappointed 😉👌

Kelly Clarkson was the very FIRST winner of American Idol in 2002 she was 20years old. Runner up was Justin Guarini. They started in one movie together "From Justin To Kelly"

Kelly is the original and first Idol.

Continue to be the father you are to your kids bro. Thanks for showing vulnerability and sharing how you went through the same rejection. I'm so sorry you had to endure that young man. But as you said, it molded who you are and your step father filled that void. I wish you all the best.

Never stop wanting to be their hero brother

This son always breaks me 😢❤😢❤ Kelly is amazing 🙏❤️🙏❤️ I still do as she does with her precious babies 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 My kids gave their Bio Dad away as never BORNED 😢😭😭😭😭. I understand Kelly totally 🙏 and I LOVE YOU MOMMA ❤️🙏❤️🙏 STAY STRONG ❤️❤️ MY BABIES are in their 40's. Got me amazing 4 G BABES ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏. Keep pushing my LOVE XOXOXO ❤️🙏😘❤️🙏😘❤️😘❤️🙏

Thank you! Love you, be the greatest Dad that you can be!💕🤗👍

You’re a good man. Any man who can react the way you did deserves mad props. You’re kids are very lucky. I, also, can relate. I’m still struggling to let go of my dad’s abandonment even though we’re now back in touch. I’m 56 years old, I can forgive, but I can’t forget so there’s always hesitation to give too much of myself. This is our THIRD attempt at some kind of relationship. Way too many years to catch up on all the things missed. This song tears me up and unfortunately, way too many of us can relate. Bright blessings to you and your family.

Too many people can relate to this. Fucking powerful song. You never heal from these things mate

She was the first American Idol. 💜

Hugs to you! 🤗 ❤ We all know what a great daddy you are!

Your a great father Sceez ❤

She was sooo raw & real 🎤💙 great song💜

Loved your message. Be a father. Be a mother. Peace.

I had a great dad & this was like a kick to my heart when i heard it because I never imagined anyone could have a not great dad 😭

My father left when I was 4. I feel this.

You go Kelly! Love you! ❤

American Idol has been back for a few years, with different judges. Happened to my oldest daughter, her father walked away.. Thank God my husband wanted my daughter and adopted her at age 3. Now in her early 40's he wants to see and get to know her daughter. Won't ever happen.

This is one of the realist reactions I’ve watched and I teared up a bit listening to your story as well. You became a strong man and a great dad without him. ❤️💯 loved the video

Bless you for being such a great Daddy👏🙏🏼

I am not Freud, but I’m empathetic enough to listen to this man and add I believe 100% he’s a great Father and Role Model to his kiddos. We need more men like you on this planet Sir!!

Kelly was the first American Idol!
