American Idol hasn't boosted any song for quite awhile already, only Kelly's wonderful did that. That was a stunning performance

Totally cried. I'm so glad it got such a huge boost. It's good to know really amazing performances still can inspire sales.

This is the most amazing thing to wake up to, #2 on iTunes!?!? So happy to see one of her best songs getting some attention. Definitely eating my words about a PBP performance not being impactful, there was no better way for her to sell that song like she did last night.

The one time I miss Idol, this happens? Maybe I need to stop watching, ha! Just watched the performance and she was fantastic, and I'm so pleasantly surprised by its iTunes performance. Really hope RCA will see its success and, like "Drink You Away" (but for a much more deserving song), give it another try at radio.

13 million.. at this rate it is about to became her most watched performance of all time! Her current most watched performance is Because Of You from 2004 or 2005 with 27,6 million views.
I'm speechless. I mean she's always sung it like this on tour, but for the 1st time I (who wasn't on her tour) heard it crystal clear. She just reminded me how much I love her for being an art-driven and no money-driven artist. Technically we all know how it is, knowing what she's capable of, but this song is just not about that at all.
I honestly didn't expect any impact, but damn - an interesting thought is 'what would've been the after-Grammy-reaction', but yeah - things are great just as they are. I really hope people are downloading the album version and not the radio edit!

So very happy for Kelly and the response to her amazing performance last night. Waking up to Piece by Piece at No. 2 on iTunes is just awesome. :) Kelly deserves all of this and more. Well done!

That performance was so emotional! My jaw dropped open this morning when I opened up iTunes. PxP #2 on iTunes and the album back in the Top 10!! Yeah!!
At this point, why not send it to Pop? What do they have to lose? Obviously the song resonated with people

I saw the reaction to this last night, but fell asleep. Maybe not the best idea to watch that video first thing in the morning. Now I just want to crawl back under the covers and wallow in all the feels.
Would love it if they sent it to radio (again? at all? I don't remember what happened the first time) - would love it even more if they sent this stripped down arrangement, which is stunning.

It would be really amazing if it could sneak into the top spot for a moment before getting passed by that new Zayn track. And the album is now #8.

That 'sorry', people... The way she whispers that has me a quivering mess. Queen, you have no need to be sorry, you have helped so many individuals with your music, personality and charity work. I'm sorry the world dealt you a shi**y Dad.
On the plus side, slay those charts! I think everyone knew this song had the potential. That damn Radio Edit is nothing next to the album version and this.

Zayn, I may like 'Pillowtalk' where I never cared for you before when you were part of 1D... but this is Kelly's time please go away xx :)

Stupid question but Facebook views don't count for Billboard right? I'm starting to think she could get a top 10 out of this (would just be gravy, I'm satisfied that the song's getting exposure at all).

RISE UP, CLARKSUS
After 14 years, still an underdog and still winning.
EDIT: What was this on iTunes pre-performance? The album was in the 1500s, right?
