Straight up gutted me. and the shakiness of her voice just added to the effect. She means those words, and for many of us they hit so close to the bone.
I FULLY AGREE! She isn't at her personal zenith yet like everyone who gets to be allowed to unfold she will come into it and it will be something to behold. I REALLY think she's going to offer the world some meaningful messages and I'm excited to hear them. Love her❤
@@jesusalways45 are you saying you agree with my comment, that there's something special? i think its an incredible humble and vulnerability component we sense
The pain and sincerity in her voice made me well up. Depression is horrible, so I connected with her immediately. I like old souls partly because I have been told since I was 15 that I am an old soul. Too bad it also comes with pain and suffering. Jennifer, you will be a huge success. Seek it with everything you have.
Yes because it’s very personal and they have been through a lot as a family, my family is the same we are just all much older.. I am 53. I wanted her to win American Idol.
@@LoverofSunflowernBees she may not have won but people definitely know who Jennifer Jeffries is now. We all saw the talent pour out in those first two original songs she performed
w/an original, You Were A Child, she took her time with that intro, got comfortable, came in with that incredibly different tone. Another personal lyric, connected emotion. Intense focus. She let it speak. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
As a father who has a child who suffers from mental disorder, this song really hits home. Those lyrics really cut through, especially with her beautiful tone. I can't wait to hear more from her
I don't know which I like more; Jennifer's writing skills which are over the top, or her incredible and unique voice which sends shivers down my spine. Absolutely amazing!! Jennifer, please don't change or let the machine eat you.
When she is just standing there before she even begins there already is something about her. Something that makes me stop and really intensely watch and listen. And boy was her song captivating!
Her lyrics, voice and delivery really hit me - I was left speechless and breathless from the first note... I could just play it over and over. Lovely A++
Jennifer not only do you have an incredible gift YOU ARE an incredible gift to us all. That was amazing Thank you for Sharing yourself with the world. You speak volumes for so many.
She has 0 competition, one of a kind voice original music that’s outstanding I can’t wait to see her perform again and again just amazing I’m lost for words
Just something about Jennifer that’s pure and remarkable… her voice is liquid gold but more importantly is the emotions that her lyrics and performances carry.
Man, this girl is something else! Her tone is a little bit hard to hear but that can be worked out. But she needs a record deal and a career ASAP. Unreal talent!
My favorite this season! Her voice is mature beyond its years with a hauntingly beautiful tone that is the most unique not only on idol, but that I’ve heard in such a long time. Also, these lyrics are spot on and beautifully written leaving listeners wanting more. Stay true to yourself. I agree with Katy, you’re a star!
@kassiford, I so agree with you. I hope she does and album soon. I listen to her everyday. Too bad the judges do not appreciate uniqueness and choose cookie-cutter music. They alll sound the same.
The only one who brought me to tears. I cannot believe she is gone. I hope to buy her album soon. Jennifer, you have millions of fans for life. Go get 'em.
Jennifer Jeffries- You've had my attention since your mind numbingly good audition. I can't freaking believe how much you bring to the table by way of talent and heart. You're bigger than this contest or platform. Please grow in your confidence and exercise those wings. You're the real deal.
Jennifer ❤❤ American Idol… Please nurture this beautiful human. I could listen to her all day long. First time listening to this, I couldn’t focus on the words. The sounds were an extraordinary emotional journey. Then I listened again… this time to the words and I was crying all over again.
I've listened to this probably 15 times since yesterday. So moving, fantastic lyrics, incredible gravitas to the vocals. Hitting me right in the chest.
Sorry, I can’t keep be up with friends I know for years never mind online friends. We live in dangerous Internet friendship era, I like to choose mine different ways, never online. Thank you !
Her voice is so distinct and powerful! I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. Based on this song and performance alone, I think she could make it to the top!!! ❤
This is an earth angel who has god-given talent to make people happy. Her gift is to sing and to fill people with that spirit from up above! She's my American idol and I'm rooting for her till the end! If she doesn't win it doesn't even matter. Her voice touches me. She's an old soul with a great gift and an excellent beautiful message! Full of love and that's what it's all about! 💗
This kid is one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard. Her singing makes my heart hurt and that’s exactly how i love my music. I’ll be a fan forever. Good for you Jessica Jeffries. Super inspiring
Someone needs to take her off the show and put her in a studio. She needs to get her music out there. Absolutely incredible.
I found her music on Apple Music ❤
@@TheMichellephoto must check it out.
Second!
"And you hate who you are, even worse - who you're not" hit me right in the feels. love your voice, song creativity and passion!
Me too I cried at that part!
That part changes you. I agree

“so you write these songs” the fact this girl is 17 blows my mind
How wonderful is her soul. So much wisdom and empathy. In times of war, hatred, and false people, she restores faith in humanity.
Beautiful comment, and I agree 100%
she hasn't even started singing and i've given the video a thumbs up and almost started ugly crying ... there's something special about her
Yes! Exactly how I felt ❤
she's so pure.
She’s incredible!!!
I FULLY AGREE!
She isn't at her personal zenith yet like everyone who gets to be allowed to unfold she will come into it and it will be something to behold.

@robertantonnyc - You bettah come for that vacant idol judges seat with these critiques 😇
lol. Who's vacant? @@iamhumanfirst2020
@@robertantonnyc Katie Perry will not be there next year so they have replace her. 😞
This gives me chills! There is a Joni Mitchellesque type virtuosity to her writing and performing. The fact she is 17 is borderline frightening.
My thoughts about Joni also.
She's a clear top 3. We've been waiting for an authentic voice that strays from the pure pitch-perfect style.
doesn't work for me.
Absolutely agree! What a welcome change. And not just the voice, her writing skills are incredible.

She is so raw so real and the guitar riffs so good. Amazing performance
Jennifer reminds me of an old folk song singer. She is really good.
A female version of Neil Young.

Amen to that.
She has entered into the belly of the beast *Hollywood* 🪄👁️
Her Wisdom shall carry her Home...
As long as Hollywood doesn't change her

I love her raw, folksy vibe. So authentic. Reminds me of a cross between Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell.
Yes she sounds like she's been transported from the past...a very mature song writer
And June Carter!!
Ohhhh She was born to be a pure musician 👩🎤
Brought a tear to my eye! Fantastic!
I'm buying whatever she puts out. Can't wait.
