She's gonna be one of the finalists I feel. She is a fantastic young singer. God bless you for sticking by her. She has got to be one of the most tender hearted singers I have ever seen. And God bless her for continuing to do what she loves most and being as strong as she is. No one should have to go through what she has, but she could not be doing better than she is. She will shine brightly and always win over hearts forever. Regardless of if she wins or not, I'm gonna support her. She should start a KZread channel if she hasn't yet. Her talent is so natural!!!

She is so strong and the pain her mom left her is absolutely despicable. May her mother get the karma she deserves while her daughter thrives and becomes a famous singer/songwriter

I can understand how 10 kids would be overwhelming. But I cannot imagine just walking away from them. I cannot imagine walking away from 1.

I love how loving all the judges are, they treated her like she was their daughter ❤️

Pain can make or break you. This girl will make it

Her pain is so real. My mom left when I was 11 I’m now 29 and it still hurts, that’s exactly what happens when you try and talk about it. You think you’re okay and then you just start crying. It’s like your body remembers the pain and your brain is like why are you crying.

This is my sweet friend!!! She has come a long way since this audition. God continues to work in her in amazing ways! She is using her talents and gifts by serving him through missions in YWAM. She’s currently in Tanzania, Africa sharing The Gospel and helping others. The difference between this girl here and the woman she is now is night and day!!! Jesus shines through her now and it’s so beautiful!!! Love you Deej!!!! 💜✝️

I remember Katy Perry said she wanted to be an ordinary person and she missed that part of her life I think she is experiences part of it by being judge of this show

Great job love! Your mother should be very proud of you. Whatever she chose over her children and husband is beyond me! Such a beautiful family and a beautiful voice. Your song is amazing. You so beautifully pieced together your pain and were able to paint a beautiful picture. Look forward to you winning, yes I said winning, American idol. You're that great💖

That broke me no child should ever feel like that I had some experiences like that but I feel for you and I hope all the love and positive vibes for you

It's a very good song. Girl God bless you

This song hits home!! My mom left when i was a baby and was never in my life. I found out a while back that she died of alcohol poisoning in her early 40s, so it makes understanding easier for me. I’m sure she had a lifetime of addiction. I just recently found it in my heart to forgive her, not for her but for me. I am finally at peace. This song is amazing. It reminds me of Kelly Clarkson’s song Piece by piece

She is so mature and he is an amazing dad. Being able to raise our children with my best friend ( amazing wife) means everything to me, especially to our children. She is amazing! This inspires many people!

oh i crieddd 😭

YES Yes YES YES YES YES YES !!! YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOUR FATHER FOR BEING A MOTHER AND FATHER FOR YOU AND YOUR OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! PERFECT!!!

Amazing!

You made me cry 😭😭😭 Beautiful song.

Her whole soul was brightened by their very VERY VERY kind words!!!

I HOPE HER MOTHER IS WATCHING THIS And Has A Change of Heart

Can't stop crying

This precious sister has shown "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. " My prayers are for you, D.J. and for your mother. God bless you.

Wow 😢😍

Wow iam feeling her pain 😔 😢 we lost my mom last July and she was the glue of the family so thanks for that beautiful song.

Wow’n tear jerker!! Keep pressing sister

This broke me such an amazing voice.

Im i the only one crying watching this video?? What a story, hoping and praying that everything goes well for this young girls family. Good luck and may GOD bless you in all of your future endeavors.

A song from the heart...pain...cry for healing.

My tears are flowing.

I bet she'd rather she came back, but I get what you're saying 😥

She is going to Hollywood!!!! Yes!!!

As a child who grew up with a mom who had her 6 kids taken away by CAS due to drug/alcohol abuse and addiction. I spent my entire childhood thinking she would come back. Would sit in my room thinking of all the scenarios of when she got clean. Reality is that some people have demons so great inside that they just can't get out and away. My mom loved us...I know she did. But she suffered from depression, anxiety and used things to try and escape. She passed in 2020 and I never got my happy ending that she would get clean but 2 weeks before passed she reached out. Told me how proud she was of me and the person and mother I was. I am not angry with her. I don't understand why...and I never will. But I'm not angry. I have used this to become a wonderful.mother and wife in my own life. And I will continue to make her proud. Love you mom. Hope you are at peace❤

wow i can here the pain in your voice girl

Has she auditioned on tv yet, she has me crying

Wow 👍🏼🙏🏼. Wie traurig dass man in der jetzigen Zeit, jemanden nicht umarmen "darf" wo es die Menschen am dringensten bräuchten

🙏🏾♥️😘🎉I hope mom is watching! I hope mom’s OK, I couldn’t imagine leaving mine and they’re grown! What mentally has her mother been going through to leave alternate her children, that Hass to be really wrong or just extremely selfish! Praying for them all

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My mother left me to move across the world to USA she left her whole family her life in Australia with the sound of money filling the guys pockets as our dads emptied. She left for money got remarried all within a lie, saying at she was at her parents house in Queensland but no she was half was across the world getting married with nobody knowing where she was. I know and can feel the pain this girl is going through and it is the hardest hardest thing I have and still felt. She’s a lot stronger then I was when my mother left. I did not leave the house or my room I refused to go to school for 6-8months. I don’t know this girl but I’m proud of her❤️❤️

now i m crying like judges :(((((((((

Lionel was completely spot on!!!

I’m not cryin.. Someone cutting onions again 😭

Wow

Potentially Top 20, for sure Top 40

😭😭😭😭😭😭oh God

Although I know this must be such a tragedy for children, I could not judge that mother without knowing what she herself was going through. I really hope sooner than later, she'll be back to talk to her children the truth and they could be a family again, maybe in a different way, but with the same love.

💟

Um this is somewhat a diss track towards her mom but amazing vocals and tone.

Wow one of the first people to comment

I feel sorry for her as he is obviously in pain. It's good that she found some sort of outlet for all the emotions and that is obviously how she feels and has the rigth to do do. Having said that, we do not really know what happened and why her mom left - she herself may not even know it and so I do not like the lyrics 100%...IDK, maybe I'm just hoping that there was a legitimate reason why her mom left and mayeb she shoudl not be blamed...
