When Colin was explaining that all his neighbours were basically family, i got so jealous. You know how you always want what you didn't have, each of my grandparents was born on a different continent, my family couldn't be any more distanced from each other. I want to know what it would be like to only have to cross the street & not have to get on a plane to a different country to see my aunt's, uncles & cousins. 😆 I even have 1st cousins that have a different mother tongue than i do.

The song the girl sang for her dad in the Army, the same exact words was on my 21 year old brother's prayer card at his funeral after being murdered

Seeing Katy get upset after learning about Treys loss really sent me over the edge. That kid has talent, and to think he almost wasn’t here with us today to share his amazing talent. We definitely need to make some changes.

Tyson Venegas IS in my mind the VERY BEST of them all in this video. Now,, all he needs is songs of his own and he's OUT a THERE!! Headed for stardom. Of course we know Iam Tongi won last season and he for certain deserved that win.

Music is so powerful. The man who sang stone. And the girl who sang I'm Already There. 🔥 such feeling.

Loved the first young man

How do the young people deal with school shootings and come out the other side as positive as this young man? It is a very difficult process, if and when. It's so hideous that one person can horribly effect so many people in seconds. For my positive thoughts, all the performers were exceptional! Congratulations on a beautiful audition. ❤

This last gurl has me have her on replays. Her voice is so buttery and so flawlessly. And she's so beautiful 😍

Wish more people were like Lionel Ritchie. Full of support and generosity after so many years in the field. Inspiring. ❤

Olivia was my favorite. She made that song her own! Best cover i have ever heard of that song and there have been so many

Loved Colin and WeAni !!!!

That’s the definition of what a couple should be ❤
