PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS

For all the haters talking about autotune let me explain u something, AUTOTUNE DOESNT CREATE NOTES, IF SHE HAD A HIGH NOTE IN THE STUDIO VERSION IS BECAUSE SHE HIT IT. Autotune only corrects the tone so stop fucking hating her. EDIT i have never had so many likes in a comment lol

never thought a kesha song would make me cry but here we are.

I worked with her a few times and she is WAY more than people think. She’s in charge of everything and is VERY musically inclined. She had ears for everything.

Its different because this is Kesha, not Ke$ha.

She absolutely poured her heart out and you bastards are gonna drag her for not hitting a note - just for your entertainment & satisfaction? Man what a time to be alive.

My boyfriend abused me several times 6 years ago. This song gives me so much power when I feel down and abused again. Now i’m in love with someone who will never hurt me like that. But I still feel abused. I even wrote a song about it. Thank you Kesha for being so vulnerable and brave to show it to the world!

I don’t know how she does it but I applaud her for not literally bawling in stage while singing this song. I couldn’t do it, I cry every time I hear it. Not because it’s a sad song but because I’m letting all my memories come back of abuse and neglect and realizing I am stronger because of that and that I am proud of who I am.

She's not Ke$ha, she's Kesha :)

I love how they aren't screaming so I can actually hear Kesha singing.

“I’m proud of who I am” gives me butterflies & chills

She killed it even without that screaming high note…..she feels every word and u can feel it when she sings it!

Omg her vocals are so good. Dr Puke can choke. Because of him, everyone thought she couldn't sing but look at her now 😉

I love the part where she sings: I am proud of who I am. I can feel the honesty through her vocals ohmigod

This song helped me get through my husband's suicide attempt. I listened to it every single time I had to leave the hospital, on repeat. I like to think it helped me. I played it for him when he was released and he loves the song as well. I'm thankful for this song.

The sad thing is how many people can relate. The beautiful thing is that we can see our own strength in the aftermath.

The only word is: goosebumps

wow serious chills when that choir and bass drum started

I’m Over here crying in the bread isle of Kroger because this was absolutely beautiful

I'm 59 years old. I'm getting close to getting to go home to God. This is one of the most beautiful things I've have ever heard. And I've heard ALOT of amazing things. Your voice and your soul are magnificent!!!! Thank you God for blessing us with the gift of Grace

She didn't do the whistle note because it took her 10 times just to do it in the studio version. She needs to keep practicing the note and make sure she doesn't ruin anything with her voice while doing it. I'm just happy she's not lip syncing it like other artists do!

I really hope she performs at the VMA's..or at least gets an award of some sort

Doja and Kesha needa write together. That’s storm of female power would blow down the world ❤

As a victim of 16 years of dv (half my life) and ex sitting in jail right now, I'm feelin' this. Just got my first home independently for me and my kids. This song is everything

This song deserves a full band, guitars, drums, bass, strings, crowd of black gospel singers.

This song is not about hitting high notes or having the best vocals. Its about making music mean something. This song is so powerful and it shows people that she is human and goes through stuff everyone else does but you can get over, just like she did. So, so what if she didn't do a "whistle note" that doesn't even match how powerful the song is and how much she's been through! Edit:well damm 2.4k 😱

This song is just evidence that if you work kindly on yourself, you don't have to hold onto the past so tightly. You can let it go. Sure it's not gone forever, but it's like a balloon, tied to your person. It follows you, you don't follow it.❤ Kesha is currently saving my life.

I love you Kesha. You are a survivor, and this song is an anthem for all of us who were beaten down and made to feel less than our abusers. Thank you for giving all of us some of your strength. 🩷

Kesha is back! The big chorus gave me chills.

I'm proud of who I am - Love it.

6 years later and it still hits the same, absolutely powerful

This Song resonates With the Under Thirty Generation ❤ May God Be as Good to them as He Has Been to BABYBOOMER S❤ John Barnett ❤

I really don't care if she did the falsetto or not. She was singing with her heart! Love you Kesha!

This was sooo magical. I'm honestly in tears. This woman deserves the world. We love you Kesha💖

Sometimes vocalists can be technically impeccable, but you don't feel any soul. This was all soul and all her own feelings, this was her own art. I'm still teary and the clip already ended x')

I just found this video - 5 years after it was posted - and I felt this performance in my soul. Go, Kesha! I heard you - and many others did, too. 💞

For all those people who are spreading hate in the comments: I hope you're somewhere praying ❤

*SO 👏 PROUD 👏 OF 👏 HER 👏*

Why am I just now finding this 😭😭🙌🏻🙌🏻🎶🎶🎶

❤Kesha, thank you for this song and for who you are. I was sexually abused throughout my life. One of my abuser was a parent. I feel it deeply every time I hear your words “And we both know all the truth I could tell.” I hope some day I’ll have the courage to face this person and stop keeping their secrets. You and this song continue to inspire me and bring me hope.

This gave me chills from the beginning to the end

This is proof alone she should have owned that Grammy!!!

My God. The song, the lyrics, her voice, strength, power, range... I have chills.

Now we know the original meaning of Ke$ha's TiK ToK. She was telling us we'd need to wait longer for the real Kesha to arrive

I am so f*cking proud of her

Now THAT'S how you do a comeback

I absolutely love this song...I dedicated it to my biological mother who left me at a young age due to drugs...and for years I’ve chased her begging for her love and to call me her daughter after she came back and claimed my brothers but never came back for me...she would say she was coming to get me for a sleepover and I would sit in front of that door with my little backpack just waiting...she never came...I grew into an damaged, angry, hositile, confused adult...who struggled with my own addiction...all I wanted to ever know is that she loved me....that I mattered...and to this day I still can’t get that...I hope your soul is changing...I hope you find your peace 🖤

"I´m proud of who I am" , that moment broke my heart.

EVERYONE WHO KEEPS SAYING THAT SHE DIDNT HIT THE HIGH NOTE ITS HER SONG SHE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FRICK SHE WANTS. She also said that it took her 10ish tries to get the high note in the studio. This is a live performance she only has one try and she wants to wait until she masters it so she doesn't mess up the whole performance with on note.

Her voice is so amazing , she must win something , what she did deserve everything , she is a LEGEND , that what can i say .😌

Sometimes I sing this about the person who raped me. The other times I sing it about the two female officers that blamed the crime on me. Either scenario, I always feel empowered and proud.

good lord how i love this song. kesha is so talented,it's amazing. and im a 54 year old metal head. but truly love her music.

KESHA IS ICONIC SHE IS A FUCKING LEGEND SHE'S BEAUTIFUL INSIDE OUT BLESS KESHA

damn i love the energy i can feel in the room

I literally didn't realize I was holding my breath till the end and I had to take a giant breath out. This song is just... Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful and just a masterpiece of strength.

I’m NGL, I never knew she had pipes like this. She’s labeled as a bubble gum pop artist and this completely changed my perspective of her. Kudos 🤙🏻

Kesha: I'm proud of who I am. Crowd: *applauds and cheers* Me: *sheds a tear*

u can feel her hurting :(

I had to google what Kesha they were talking about. I was not expecting Ke$ha to become Kesha. You sannnnnnng it gworl!!!! Proud of you!!!!

The urge to hug everyone from this song is too strong. You MUST love the backup singers/choir and the drummer and violinist. This song is Nexus.

“she can’t sing” -everyone listening to her singing this at grammys. link this to them. she was nervous at the grammys and emotional. she can sing live.

This song touches my soul

I remember hearing this when it was first release (this exact live version). It puts to shame the studio release. And 6 years on I go back to it because like a real good film it moves you. Not in a religious way, but with pure emotion and art in it's best form. The layered instrument introduction and the drums only when needed not only compliment Kesha's vocals (perhaps the best I've ever heard her sing) but add weight and emotion I'd not seen from her before. For thos who are struggling, had loss, or are dealing with a mental chalange, know this - Pain is hard and it's scary, but boy does it build strength and resilience like nothing else can. When you come out the other side, and you will.... thats when you truely know who you are and what you're truly capable of.

When she moved her hands emotionally I could see her rage and feelings

I love how everyone legit sits there being so quiet while she sings her heart out . It's beautiful . It means they can all relate , it's touching their souls. I bet everyone there is getting goosebumps as I did right now

HER ALBUM COMES OUT IN 4 DAYS. PRE ORDER IT NOW!!! SUPPORT A LEGEND.

This song has so much power and emotion, never thought that Kesha could sing like this. 😘😶‍🌫😘

Everytime I listen to this song it re-breaks my heart. When she starts shouting, I shout SING GIRL YESS. GO KESHA

I've never been a big fan of hers...but this...this is just soul stirringly amazing...

I have found a new appreciation for "Kesha" after this song came out. "Ke$ha"s music was played at college parties and raves. But "Kesha" is now a soulful, emotional, amazing singer. I never knew she had that angelic voice because I always heard her doing a type of rap or something. I was met with a big surprise when I found out that the song on the radio was her. She is fucking amazing

Wow... it cut me deep. She wrote those lyrics leaving her heart in Gods hands.

So beautiful! I hate that beauty at times has to come from tragedy. Beauty should always lead to more beauty. Her voice is phenomenal. I love the points where she shows its depth.

Kesha does not need auto tune!!😍😍😍

Such a powerful performance. I'm so glad she made this song so we can see the real Kesha:) LOVE YOU QUEEN

I get chills everytime even before she starts singing bcuz this song resonates with me and breaking away from my abuser! Shes so beautiful and I'm glad she had the courage to come forward and stand up for herself❤

I'm obsessed with her voice!! The soul in her voice gives me chills!! This song is so powerful! Original!!!

Wait... Kesha can actually sing!? WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD HER REAL VOICE?! All the songs I've heard by her are just her talking, does she have more like this? I'm sooooo shocked. I like a Kesha song!

I thought this was better than the recorded track. Loved it!

For all the negative comments, my sister went through something similar to keysha, my sis wasn’t even a fan but when she heard this performance from her she related and broke down. She was singing from the deepest part of her soul. And that says a lot.

I use to change the station if she came on. Thank you Kesha for showing us your voice.

If you told me 5 yrs ago a Kesha song would give me goose bumps. I would have LMAO, and hit you. Great Song

VOCALS

I cried 😭 and Kesha looks absolutely beautiful like an angel here as always

I can never thankyou enough Kesha for this song. It was the sign that I needed to keep going. I wanted to die after the man I loved beat me and put me in hospital. But I heard your song and it helped me so much. God Bless you ❤ I left him when it was safe to do so and I live again.

Stop saying she did bad she did great wtf. It's her first live performance of this song imagine what's going through her head while singing this smh if I was her I'd be crying and I'd break down. She had some cracks and was a little shaky but she did amazing and I'm proud of her.

Who knew that this voice was behind her. Haven't heard such a soulful song from her

Wow! I haven’t ever been a big fan of Kesha - just wasn’t really into her style of music. But this song is amazing! And what a voice!!!

Sometimes someone writes lyrics that could have been taken from your own life, from the secrets you whisper only to yourself and to God in the privacy of your mind and prayers. THIS SONG is that for me and for hundreds of mullions of victims and survivors around the world. Thank you Kesha, even though you may never see this, I'm still sending it out to you, to the universe, in hopes that some of my thankful energy will make it to you and be another drop in the well you draw your strength and healing from. Bless your soul girl, bless it real good

She performs this song live better than the record

She nailed it 🎤🌷 AMAZING performance !!

Girl we got you.

I love this raw era of Kesha⚡️💖

This gives me chills

This is heavy..jesus.. she had me from when she sing ‘They won’t even know youre name’ and she had me and didn’t let me go. Her voice sounds like she can break every moment... love performance like this. She feels it

I love this song it makes me so emotional and I can relate to every single word. I was abused by my mother for years and I finally said enough is enough! “I’m proud of who I am, no more monsters I can breathe again”. Thank you Kesha for this amazing song!

"And we both know all the truth I can tell"....powerful, this song has brought me healing

Intense... Powerful performance.

And this is what you get to enjoy when you finally let the caged bird fly. Beautiful Kesha!!!

goosebumps!!!!

I'm speechless...this performance is breathtaking! 😍 SHE is breathtaking!!! 🥰
