I think the line “I feel stupid when I sing, nobody’s listening to me” refers to her previous song she released called “Sober” which was a cry for help but no one seemed to reach out/care which led her to write this song and again no one SEEMED to care.
So basically what happened, is that she wrote this song right before her od, literally asking for someone to help her, and nobody from her old team really gave a shit so she ended up having the od. This song was a cry for help and this was the first time anyone heard it since it was released like 20 mins before the performance. It explains her state of mind and how she was feeling before she did what she did. She felt alone, helpless and sad and that's why this is such an important song for her. If she didn't make it through that, this would have been her last song
vaggelis toubos Her old team did give a shit and were the ones who forced her to get help the first few times. They had a verbal agreement that if she ever fell back into her addiction they were dropping her as a client.. Demi relapsed and they stayed true to their word and left. She felt alone and abandoned by many people not just her management. She spiraled even more and searched to fill a void in her that’s been there long before she had a career in entertainment. She got in contact with the same old wrong people again and they provided her the drugs she overdosed on. A whole mess that she still has not spoken about and eventually will..
@@okayfloatstudios3097 you said it yourself, instead of actually caring, all her team did is threaten her that they would drop her if she relapsed. And how is that any helpful?? And after she relapsed they went sike, not my problem anymore.
vaggelis toubos Nah bruh. They’ve done everything they can. They’ve sweet talked her, coddled her, even enabled her for a while trying to do reverse psychology on her ass and nothing worked until they threatened to drop her in 2010. That’s what snapped her out of it the first time and she realized everything she’s worked for could be gone in second all because of this disease of hers she’s allowed consume her life. She entered rehab and fought to suppress it ever since but she’s relapsed a few times. It’s a constant roller coaster with her and people have their limits. Quite honestly this is a business. I’m surprised they’ve stayed with her this long.. These people are not her family, she is not their responsibility to look after health wise. They’re all there to work and make money and if she’s not available and being irresponsible of course they would drop her. Any where you work that’s the kind of reaction you will receive. Do not feel any type of way towards her old management for basically firing her as their client. Demi knows she was in the wrong and it is what it is.
@@okayfloatstudios3097 I completely agree with you. You tell the hard truth most fans of Lovato's don't want to hear. While I certainly am sympathetic to her problems, and bet she came across a lot of terrible people who used her like anyone who works in Hollywood does, but at the end of the day her sobriety is her responsibility and no one else's. It's the reason for her latest relapse; she clung to her relationship and management team to keep her sober, and when both fell through, she relapsed. The only thing that will save her is realizing no one keeps you sober. You do it yourself, or you don't. It's not fair to make anyone carry that weight for you.
She did an interview about this song. She wrote it before she overdosed. Its about her crying out for help in her songs and no one listening to that cry. Love her so so so much!!!! Powerful woman, right there!
She was bullied, deals with depression and is bipolar. She’s amazingly genuine and so few artists have the ability to put so much emotionality in their songs that comes so easily to Demi. Love her. 💜
It wasn’t a fake smile, it was a smile that she was so happy that after two years of not performing or singing, this is her comeback and she got a standing O
She fully deserved a Standing O and maybe finally a Grammy, because this was a HUGE performance and she is a great singer, among my first three in recent generations. I put her together with Amy Winehouse (😭😭😭) and the italian Elisa. Please dont tell me that I forgot, Chaka Khan, Withney Houston, Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, Anita Baker....I am talking about young generations.😁
Seeing her cry and hearing the pain in her voice just about broke me. The pain of feeling alone is unbearable, everyone deserves to have that one person that they can go to for help.
It’s not that simple... everyone’s experience is different. Sometimes no matter how much you love the person and try to help, you can’t until they want to change. I’ve lived thru it and you feel helpless.
Ive struggled with addiction and shes saying that she tried to talk to whatever and whoever about her struggling with her problems and addiction but nobody was listening or helping or giving her the affection and attention she needed. This was a cry for help and them four days later she overdosed. This song tells how i feel everyday except the parts od singing, the piano, and guitar so for me they are different things. I love Demi and i wish that i could write her and let her know that im right there with her and going through some of the same things and be a friend that she needs because i have no one either and i sure as hell dont have anyone who listens. I love you Demi, you are such an inspiration to me and you are so strong and beautiful inside and out and please dont ever change.
She did overdose - on Oxycodone that was laced with Fentanyl. She didn't know it was laced & that's why she overdosed. She was revived with Narcan. She wrote this 4 days before she overdosed. EXTREMELY personal song that is SO hard to sing in front of the world. Especially through tears. Pure raw emotions. She did a phenomenal job!
Never come across you guys and my favorite part is the capacity to show relatable emotional to songs and hardships of another. Refreshing on a review page. Thank you.
I think it hits even a bit stronger or at least very different when someone who has millions of fans, millions of dollars, a successful music career, good looks and people that look up to them says: Nobody is listening. Nobody is here. Please, send me anyone. It really shows again how all of this doesn't make you happy just because it "should be". She is not alone. But she was, and probably is still, very, very lonely. Like Robin Williams said, you are surrounded by people but at the same time that's when you feel the most lonely and unseen. Cause people think they know you. You don't know who really likes you for you, cause fans don't know what you are like in person, what you really do behind closed doors. When it comes to friends and family, people being really close to you, you can be surrounded by fucking millions. But it will always be most important who really IS there when you aren't your cutest, when you really need arms to hold you, not because they adore you, but because they know, understand and truly, deeply care for you. Nobody can have millions of friends. Damn, I would even say if we all are honest we can be truly happy if we have one or two friends that really are the real deal behind the curtains. My mother always says there are different kind of friends and you need different people to do different stuff with. Some are good for partying, some are good for learning or talking. You got your gym pal or your colleague. Maybe you got a cute starbucks barista you always flirt with and get free coffee and a good smalltalk from. All of these people mean well and some of them are really good for your body and soul. But when it comes to deep shit... To all of you combined, not just a few perspectives... It's hard to count who's with you there.
This is, by far, the best and most sensible reaction that I have ever seen for this live performance. I hope you would do more reactions of her performances. Would appreciate it a lot. Bless up!
Yes, this was written four days before her heroine overdose. This is also the first time Demi has performed since her overdose. She said in an interview that this song meant one thing when she wrote it, and not means something else after the fact but that they are both extremely powerful to her. Her next song release tells a bit more about her overdose and what she went through. Its been almost two years since demi performed. She came back powerful as ever.
From what I know, many people refer to drugs like heroin as opiates and prescribed medicines like morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl are commonly called opioids. All fall under the same category of opioids because they're all either naturally or artificially made from the poppy plant.
Demi recorded this song 4 days before her overdose. She almost died 😭 To me this song was her cry for help during that time. I love Demi Lovato and I'm so proud of the courage and strength that she has shown throughout her struggles. We have seen her fall 2-3 times now, but always she gets back up like the Warrior that she is and continues to fight. Her true fans continue to stand beside her because she is very transparent about what she has gone through and continues to go through. Demi is a star, but she's shown us that she is vulnerable and makes mistakes just like everyone else. Being a celebrity and having wealth doesn't necessarily mean that you are happy and content in your life. I imagine that Demi feels very lonely a lot of times. It sucks not knowing if someone is being a true friend to you or just hanging around for the clout. Sorry for the long comment. I just really love Demi and I want her to be in a good space right now and always ❤️ Great reaction guys 😉
You made a good point about her "smiling through the pain" and how this is almost like a fake smile, cause it's so obvious that the pain is there, but she's smiling at the end. That smile was prettry genuine I think. She must have felt relieved getting though a song that really revealed her vulnerabibity in front of all her peers. Maybe she really feels heard in the moment and feels the love and sympathy of the people in the audience.
gosh that voice of hers 😍 im in full support of Demi & im rootin for her, always 🥰 ps: I absolutely adore u both & am so happy that I recently came upon this channel!
Her wet face broke my heart, but I’m so proud of her for coming back and giving this incredible performance. This song is simple yet powerful.. one of the most powerful songs for me. It’s so relatable. ❤️ She seemed happy that she made it through it. I don’t think her smile was that fake.
This song breaks my heart right in two. As a mother, as a sister, a friend, a fellow human, it makes me question if I'm listening. If someone I loved was hurting this bad, would I know it? God grant me those ears and that heart. Let me be the anyone they need. 💔
It is not about that she thinks no one is listening her songs. It's about that no one listening to her when she tries to talk about her feelings and that she needs help!
The fact that’s this is her first time on stage on stage in 2 years and all of the craziness of 2018 this song could of very easily been her last song as it was recorded 4 days before her OD were she had resuscitated. The words ‘proud’ isn’t anywhere near strong enough to describe the feelings I have towards her as a fan of hers since she was on barney in 2002. Thankyou guys for taking the time to react to this stunning performance:)
She is an amazing young woman. I can relate to how she feels, and her daily struggles, and not knowing what our purpose is while we are here on earth. I want to wrap my arms around her, and tell her she isn't alone, and I'm listening to her even if no words are exchanged.
A few weeks before overdosing she released a song called "sober" about not being sober anymore & she released that while on her Europe tour. Her & her old team kinda had an agreement if she went back to her old ways again after being through it with her they wouldn't be with her. Sadly when family and friends just go through addiction & you go through it & it's not the best on your mental health either so I get why because I've had that happen in my family. Then 4 days before overdosing she recorded this. Guess the other song writers or song producer/s or her team at that time didn't think anything was wrong. Pretty sure her manager had left before it anyway & so did her sober coach because they had put up with it for years. This was her first kinda public appearance & first performance since the overdose. I know she was hanging out with people she shouldn't have been so hopefully her family/team/friends let her know when she's not being her best for her sobriety. I've been a fan since 08 so I hope she finds happiness & stays sober.
Hey guys. Thanks for highlighting this incredible performance, I believe that it helps to highlight the fact that struggles with addiction can affect anyone. As a recovering alcoholic (over 9 years sober) this song is so relatable. It reminds of the dark days of my addiction when I felt so lonely but couldn’t stop drinking and people were simply bored of me and my tears. I was broken. I believe that the line Demi sings “I feel stupid when I pray” relates to having to get on your knees and pray to a higher power. It’s something people in recovery who work a 12 step programme should do. It can feel so uncomfortable and stupid at first but personally it’s something that I had to learn to do in order to stay sober. Love from the UK. 🌈☺️
I appreciate how deep you guys are trying to understand this gorgeous piece of music that’s filled with extreme pain. I think her question of God is not the only thing she is wondering and hoping. She feels hopeless. She doesn’t feel people care about her music, or care about her, and she overdosed four days later, which proves how even in a room full of people who completely show their adoration and the positive comments she must’ve gotten it just wasn’t enough to keep her going. It’s extremely heartbreaking.
Soon after she wrote this song , she overdosed on heroin and this was the first time she was able to perform this . I hope you both actually listen to this whole song without speaking. It is profound and we all need to listen !
She’s more than likely smiling because she got thru it after a false start and didn’t expect that reaction at the end. She looks grateful and a little embarrassed. She’s getting better everyday and in much better place now according to the interviews. When you write songs this deeply personal with nothing to hide behind and just you and a piano it’s hard not to live in that moment and not to choke up. She’s a very emotional woman in general and why her voice is so amazing.
She recorded this song 4 days before she overdosed. This is her first time singing publically since then 2 years ago she kept asking for help from so many people, her music team, family, therapists, God, no one really listened she said. They kept saying just get through it. Smh
*I struggle with depression and anxiety so bad I barely leave the house. The lyrics about “please sent me ANYONE” or how she says about what’s the point in praying (I’m not religious due to having a tough life. 36 operations.) etc is exactly how I feel in my darkest moments. Luckily I’m doing a bit better at the moment.*
When she's saying nobody is listening, I think she's talking about God, the universe, a higher power(s) and it doesn't matter how much she asks for help or prays, nothing gets better and it feels like God isn't listening to her. I think this song is more spiritual. :(
This song hits home to me and so many others... As a recovery addict (3 hard years) you feel alone even depression etc. If you are feeling alone depressed etc please know your not alone there are ppl who do care. Stay strong. You got this xo
Thank you for your input you are very right I suffer with depression and you can literally be in a roomful of people and still feel all alone I’ve watched this performance so many times l love Demi I’m so proud of her she looks beautiful this must of took a lot for her to sing this song because it’s so emotional I think she is in the height of her career right now I hope that she is doing well now and is clean you just never know
I can't even imagine if we were listening to the recorded version instead of her ever getting the chance to sing it live. I'm so glad she pull through and she is here, and still able to share her talent with us all. I hope she realize and know how important her voice, present, and light is to the world. stay strong Demi!
I dont think she was fake smiling, she is at a better place now, she changed her manager and music team, she is working on her next album, she is singing the national anthem in the superBowl in a few days... it surely has been a rough 2 years but I think she feels strong enough to come back, but singing that song, singing for the first time at Grammys (her own song and not a tribute), she clearly was emotional, thats what she started crying, but I think she is better, I hope she is better.
This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it because I've been there. I've lived in the deep, dark pits of depression and convinced myself that even God, Himself didn't care.
I saw the fake smile too. I don't think it's about faith, she is crying for help from God or just ANYONE. I feel like I know exactly what she means. Especially when you are people's go to for help, no one ever asks if you need help...even when you try to show you're hurting, people either don't pick up on it or don't wanna pick up on it and you just feel alone. I think the first verse is literal cause you begin to talk to yourself and try to talk yourself out of it, but it doesn't always work...💔
She explained on Ellen that preceding her relapse she'd tried to tell her circle that she was struggling and no one was willing to listen to what she was saying and instead said she was being selfish by sacrificing sobriety when they all rely on her and the pressure and the lack of support broke her resolve and she relapsed and ultimately overdosed, days after writing this song.
She wrote the song 4 days before he overdose and then when she came to after the OD she said she would sing this song the first time she preformed again of she ever got that chance... So this is what she was feeling during her relapse and she wanted to let people in and feel a little and understand and relate to her struggle. This was her first performance since her OD almost 2 years ago. I cried like a baby watching her.. She really left her soul out there.
She wrote this song 4 days before her overdose and this was her first time performing in almost 2 years. I’m sure the rawness of how lonely and lost she felt during that time was just overwhelming. Please listen to her song “sober” another song she wrote when going through her relapse.... she talks about how her relapse’s always happen when she feels incredibly lonely. She’s singing about how she just needs anyone to listen, be it a friend or family member or God.
She wrote this song 4 days before her overdose, and she cried at the beginning because it means alot to her, and she hasn't sung in about 2 years and it has been rough for her
She was crying at the beginning. It's nearly impossible to some when you're crying. I some and I'm so damn emotional lol. Haven't been to your channel in a bit, but love you two!!
She wrote this 4 days before her near fatal overdose which hospitalized her for almost a week I believe. It was an obvious cry for help but no one who heard the song did anything to help her. She said in a recent interview that she told herself while recovering from her overdose that if she ever performed again she wanted to sing this song at the Grammys. It is very sad to hear the hopelessness in the lyrics knowing now just how desperate her situation was.
This was written 4 days before she hit rock bottom and overdosed on heroin... This was her cry for help. This is also her first performance since her overdose. This song hit me right in my soul because about 6 months ago I went through something similar. You feel so alone and so small and so useless, but it's the mental illness or the addiction controlling you. She fought back though and that's what matters!!!! I did too. I want everyone who is going through something similar to know you are not alone! Just ask for help, sometimes you have to be direct because your clues and hints are only obvious to you! Just remember, even when you can't feel it, you are loved!!!!
I really enjoyed your interpretation of the song. For me, I have followed Demi since her start. I feel like this song is more about how lonely she is. She did a documentary that came out just before her overdose as well and in that she talks about a break up and trying to learn to be happy alone and she really struggled with that. I think her loneliness was what triggered her to use again, write this song, and ultimately and unfortunately overdose. But this performance was her first live performance after the overdose as well and I think she was really nervous about how the world would perceive her and if they would welcome her back with open arms or not.
This song was so close to her heart because she wrote this right before her overdose. She is beautiful. Plz react to Camila Cabello first man performance at the Grammys 💜
She wrote this 4 days before her overdose.
She *recorded it 4 days prior
alive .mp3 okay smarty pants
@@alive.mp3992 *wrote and recorded
OMG didn't know that. Love her.
She recorded 4 days before.
She didn’t mess up she started crying while starting the song.
A part of singing is crying while singing its a real pain in the butt
I think the line “I feel stupid when I sing, nobody’s listening to me” refers to her previous song she released called “Sober” which was a cry for help but no one seemed to reach out/care which led her to write this song and again no one SEEMED to care.
She wrote and recorded this at the same time as sober
@@JKJeonEuphoria she's said before in an interview. Sober came out in June, she wrote and recorded Anyone July 20th, and her overdose was July 24th.
In an interview she said she has a follow up that ecplains more of what this song didn't.
I remember when Sober came out, a lot of people said she just wanted attention smh
She had an overdose in 2018 and apparently she wrote/recorded this song less than a week before that overdose.
So basically what happened, is that she wrote this song right before her od, literally asking for someone to help her, and nobody from her old team really gave a shit so she ended up having the od. This song was a cry for help and this was the first time anyone heard it since it was released like 20 mins before the performance.

If she didn't make it through that, this would have been her last song

This song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen
It touches me deeply also.
You guys get it. This 'song' is a also a desperate prayer.
Seeing her cry and hearing the pain in her voice just about broke me. The pain of feeling alone is unbearable, everyone deserves to have that one person that they can go to for help.
Amen and thank God for my gurl Virginia.
When fighting depression and addiction people claim they want to hear you. The problem is they don't absorb the words.
Heather Kelloway the comments here prove that tbh. Addiction is a disease and an awful one at that.
It’s not that simple... everyone’s experience is different. Sometimes no matter how much you love the person and try to help, you can’t until they want to change. I’ve lived thru it and you feel helpless.
It was an emotional day as well. Especially with the unexpected loss of Kobe and his daughter.
Ive struggled with addiction and shes saying that she tried to talk to whatever and whoever about her struggling with her problems and addiction but nobody was listening or helping or giving her the affection and attention she needed.

Very well said

This is, by far, the best and most sensible reaction that I have ever seen for this live performance. I hope you would do more reactions of her performances. Would appreciate it a lot. Bless up!
Also heard this was her first performance since that overdose time in 2018

MomZillainNOVA it wasn’t heroine... stop spreading false information.
MomZillainNOVA it wasn’t heroine lol
@@sophieforrester__ I only saw "opioid"... not sure if they said what.
From what I know, many people refer to drugs like heroin as opiates and prescribed medicines like morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl are commonly called opioids. All fall under the same category of opioids because they're all either naturally or artificially made from the poppy plant.
It's not spelled with an e at the end that's a female hero and as others have said she wasn't using heroin.

I can't stop crying. I feel every emotion she put into that. Thanks for the reaction
Wow...brilliant discussion on the theme of Demis song you guys. 👏👏👏 And yes, I'm balling my eyes out! 😢😢😢
her performa ce was the best,
It is not about that she thinks no one is listening her songs. It's about that no one listening to her when she tries to talk about her feelings and that she needs help!
The fact that’s this is her first time on stage on stage in 2 years and all of the craziness of 2018 this song could of very easily been her last song as it was recorded 4 days before her OD were she had resuscitated. The words ‘proud’ isn’t anywhere near strong enough to describe the feelings I have towards her as a fan of hers since she was on barney in 2002. Thankyou guys for taking the time to react to this stunning performance:)
She is an amazing young woman. I can relate to how she feels, and her daily struggles, and not knowing what our purpose is while we are here on earth. I want to wrap my arms around her, and tell her she isn't alone, and I'm listening to her even if no words are exchanged.
"We're listening." ❤
A few weeks before overdosing she released a song called "sober" about not being sober anymore & she released that while on her Europe tour. Her & her old team kinda had an agreement if she went back to her old ways again after being through it with her they wouldn't be with her. Sadly when family and friends just go through addiction & you go through it & it's not the best on your mental health either so I get why because I've had that happen in my family.
Then 4 days before overdosing she recorded this. Guess the other song writers or song producer/s or her team at that time didn't think anything was wrong. Pretty sure her manager had left before it anyway & so did her sober coach because they had put up with it for years.
This was her first kinda public appearance & first performance since the overdose.
I know she was hanging out with people she shouldn't have been so hopefully her family/team/friends let her know when she's not being her best for her sobriety.
I've been a fan since 08 so I hope she finds happiness & stays sober.
God her performance mad me cry, shes such a beautiful person, and an amazing singer. And this song is so beautiful and powerful.
Hey guys. Thanks for highlighting this incredible performance, I believe that it helps to highlight the fact that struggles with addiction can affect anyone. As a recovering alcoholic (over 9 years sober) this song is so relatable. It reminds of the dark days of my addiction when I felt so lonely but couldn’t stop drinking and people were simply bored of me and my tears. I was broken. I believe that the line Demi sings “I feel stupid when I pray” relates to having to get on your knees and pray to a higher power. It’s something people in recovery who work a 12 step programme should do. It can feel so uncomfortable and stupid at first but personally it’s something that I had to learn to do in order to stay sober. Love from the UK. 🌈☺️
Millionaire, famous, the world available to her, standing ovations and she’s still so alone and full of sadness.
Audrée :-/
I appreciate how deep you guys are trying to understand this gorgeous piece of music that’s filled with extreme pain. I think her question of God is not the only thing she is wondering and hoping. She feels hopeless. She doesn’t feel people care about her music, or care about her, and she overdosed four days later, which proves how even in a room full of people who completely show their adoration and the positive comments she must’ve gotten it just wasn’t enough to keep her going. It’s extremely heartbreaking.
Soon after she wrote this song , she overdosed on heroin and this was the first time she was able to perform this . I hope you both actually listen to this whole song without speaking. It is profound and we all need to listen !
She wrote this 4 days before her overdose:( that's what makes it so emotional and sad she was begging for help.
It’s crazy to me that her team listened to this song and just ignored the words... Same as Juice Wrlds Wishing well 😓 SO tragic...
She’s more than likely smiling because she got thru it after a false start and didn’t expect that reaction at the end. She looks grateful and a little embarrassed. She’s getting better everyday and in much better place now according to the interviews. When you write songs this deeply personal with nothing to hide behind and just you and a piano it’s hard not to live in that moment and not to choke up. She’s a very emotional woman in general and why her voice is so amazing.
She recorded this song 4 days before she overdosed. This is her first time singing publically since then 2 years ago she kept asking for help from so many people, her music team, family, therapists, God, no one really listened she said. They kept saying just get through it. Smh
I think she was smiling because she made it through "the shit"..the tear in the beginning was because of a horrible experience..my opinion
I agree. She was smiling cause she made it through butalso because of the love from the audience.
Yep 100% agree!
*I struggle with depression and anxiety so bad I barely leave the house. The lyrics about “please sent me ANYONE” or how she says about what’s the point in praying (I’m not religious due to having a tough life. 36 operations.) etc is exactly how I feel in my darkest moments. Luckily I’m doing a bit better at the moment.*
Demi is just so adorable and very inspirational to keep fighting the evil out of herself.
When she's saying nobody is listening, I think she's talking about God, the universe, a higher power(s) and it doesn't matter how much she asks for help or prays, nothing gets better and it feels like God isn't listening to her. I think this song is more spiritual. :(
Millie Mule and she OD and she is alive .. that the lord saying I am here
She wrote this song 4 days before she overdosed. I love her for being so vulnerable.
I love the consistant uploading! I appreciate it
This song hits home to me and so many others... As a recovery addict (3 hard years) you feel alone even depression etc. If you are feeling alone depressed etc please know your not alone there are ppl who do care. Stay strong. You got this xo
Thank you for your input you are very right I suffer with depression and you can literally be in a roomful of people and still feel all alone I’ve watched this performance so many times l love Demi I’m so proud of her she looks beautiful this must of took a lot for her to sing this song because it’s so emotional I think she is in the height of her career right now I hope that she is doing well now and is clean you just never know
Depression truly is the loneliest corner any human will ever face.
I can't even imagine if we were listening to the recorded version instead of her ever getting the chance to sing it live. I'm so glad she pull through and she is here, and still able to share her talent with us all. I hope she realize and know how important her voice, present, and light is to the world. stay strong Demi!
I love Demi Lovato, she looked beautiful on the Grammy's. She sings from the heart.
I can’t watch this performance without crying. As a 6 year sober addict, it hits all the feels for me.
She makes me cry each time
Honestly i watched that Grammy performance i was in tears. It was Beautiful.
I dont think she was fake smiling, she is at a better place now, she changed her manager and music team, she is working on her next album, she is singing the national anthem in the superBowl in a few days... it surely has been a rough 2 years but I think she feels strong enough to come back, but singing that song, singing for the first time at Grammys (her own song and not a tribute), she clearly was emotional, thats what she started crying, but I think she is better, I hope she is better.
You guys are really good commentators, solid, sensical, and emotionally stable.
You guys are f***ing awesome!
This song makes me cry every time. I loved your reactions.
Chills every single time I see this performance!!
You guys are awesome. I enjoy your reactions. 🥰 You were spot on, you could tell she was going through something during this performance.
This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it because I've been there. I've lived in the deep, dark pits of depression and convinced myself that even God, Himself didn't care.
Written 4 days before she almost died (overdose), she ended up surviving and singing the song at the grammys
I saw the fake smile too. I don't think it's about faith, she is crying for help from God or just ANYONE. I feel like I know exactly what she means. Especially when you are people's go to for help, no one ever asks if you need help...even when you try to show you're hurting, people either don't pick up on it or don't wanna pick up on it and you just feel alone. I think the first verse is literal cause you begin to talk to yourself and try to talk yourself out of it, but it doesn't always work...💔
Yes, she wrote this song just a couple days before her overdose. This was the first time she performed the song live. Such strength.
Love you guys.
Love your voice and personality
She explained on Ellen that preceding her relapse she'd tried to tell her circle that she was struggling and no one was willing to listen to what she was saying and instead said she was being selfish by sacrificing sobriety when they all rely on her and the pressure and the lack of support broke her resolve and she relapsed and ultimately overdosed, days after writing this song.
She wrote the song 4 days before he overdose and then when she came to after the OD she said she would sing this song the first time she preformed again of she ever got that chance... So this is what she was feeling during her relapse and she wanted to let people in and feel a little and understand and relate to her struggle. This was her first performance since her OD almost 2 years ago. I cried like a baby watching her.. She really left her soul out there.
This was her first performance after the overdose... it took her a year and a half to return. That’s why she was so emotional.
Thank youuu! I was waiting for this performance specifically!
She wrote this song just a couple of days before her near fatal overdose. They basically had to revive her with Narcan.
I've never seen you guys before...but you have a new subscriber!! You also could call yourselves "The Blue-Eyed Heart Bandits"!! :P
I'd suggest watching her UA-cam doco simply complicated. You'll see a lot more about her life & backstory
Excited to see this 😁😁 had to comment before it starts!
There is a documentary about her on youtube, it really makes you learn about her
She wrote this song 4 days before her overdose and this was her first time performing in almost 2 years. I’m sure the rawness of how lonely and lost she felt during that time was just overwhelming.
Please listen to her song “sober” another song she wrote when going through her relapse.... she talks about how her relapse’s always happen when she feels incredibly lonely. She’s singing about how she just needs anyone to listen, be it a friend or family member or God.
Interesting fact: She was living in a sober apartment with roommates and no phone while judging on X Factor. She was in the early stages of recovery.
She wrote this song 4 days before her overdose, and she cried at the beginning because it means alot to her, and she hasn't sung in about 2 years and it has been rough for her
She wrote this song 4 days before her overdose and this performance was her first since then so yeah.
She was crying at the beginning. It's nearly impossible to some when you're crying. I some and I'm so damn emotional lol. Haven't been to your channel in a bit, but love you two!!
She wrote this 4 days before her near fatal overdose which hospitalized her for almost a week I believe. It was an obvious cry for help but no one who heard the song did anything to help her. She said in a recent interview that she told herself while recovering from her overdose that if she ever performed again she wanted to sing this song at the Grammys. It is very sad to hear the hopelessness in the lyrics knowing now just how desperate her situation was.
Love you both.😍😍😍😍
Incredible job Demi THE MOST EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL GRAMMY PERFORMANCE IVE EVER SEEN👍👍👍👍
Greetings from Venezuela guys!!
New Sub here....and also in MT...love your honest reactions...keep em coming!❤🤘
This was her first performance since ODing. She's so effing strong.
This was written 4 days before she hit rock bottom and overdosed on heroin... This was her cry for help. This is also her first performance since her overdose. This song hit me right in my soul because about 6 months ago I went through something similar. You feel so alone and so small and so useless, but it's the mental illness or the addiction controlling you. She fought back though and that's what matters!!!! I did too. I want everyone who is going through something similar to know you are not alone! Just ask for help, sometimes you have to be direct because your clues and hints are only obvious to you! Just remember, even when you can't feel it, you are loved!!!!
she wrote this song 4 days before overdose,,, this is first performance since rehab n gettin sober
Yes, yes, and yes. Thank you guys. I don't know what's out there. I love you guys.
I really enjoyed your interpretation of the song. For me, I have followed Demi since her start. I feel like this song is more about how lonely she is. She did a documentary that came out just before her overdose as well and in that she talks about a break up and trying to learn to be happy alone and she really struggled with that. I think her loneliness was what triggered her to use again, write this song, and ultimately and unfortunately overdose. But this performance was her first live performance after the overdose as well and I think she was really nervous about how the world would perceive her and if they would welcome her back with open arms or not.
This song was so close to her heart because she wrote this right before her overdose. She is beautiful. Plz react to Camila Cabello first man performance at the Grammys 💜
There’s only 7 billion on the planet bless him haha
7.7 Billion but whose counting? Lol.
Somehow you still think it's "Lye-zo" instead of "Liz-oh". LOL
Watching ya’ll makes me miss my Montana home. GO CATS. Once a Montana boy always a Montana boy.
Demi has helped me stay here with her music. Right now. I don't want to be here.
She performed this beautiful song at The Grammys 4 days before her near fatal overdose.
I think its more than questioning what's out their in the universe, but literally begging for comfort
She wrote this song 4 days before she od'd and almost died
