Crying over here. 35 years ago I was a teenage mom-to-be who felt that way. This I was too young, but loved my unborn baby so much. ❤
Proud mommy. Why am i crying ❤😢😢
I can't believe she wrote that song! Beautiful young lady, very talented with a lovely tone. Really nice audition! Good luck Cate!
Incredibly beautiful song, tone, and story. Pure gold!! Moving!!!
I'm a mom of 2 under 5 and I'm just a ball of a mess of tears. This is beautiful ❤
Stay strong...it only gets better
ive been following cate for years on tiktok shes a really sweet girl and she has definitely made some great originals she will continue suprising all of you keep it up cate
As a mom, this is the sweetest thing i've ever heard.
She has a great voice! So effortless and smooth.
Why do so many of these people such pleasant tone? melodic vocal, not too complicated, very forward upper register. Is it an original? I wouldn't have known.
Yes this her Original Song n Music
Pretty special, eh! So many ‘original’ songs sound like they are trying too hard or copying (and I get that…) but this sounded like perfection.
Love the song that was a really good song good guitar player and singing
That’s is a really good song and a very pure voice, delivery was moving. I hope she goes far.
Cate Gartner has a beautiful singing voice!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
She's got the gift of song writing, and a voice to deliver what she writes.
Such a beautiful tone she has! Very pleasant and she sounds like HunterGirl. She's a great songwriter as well and I loved this. I can see her going really far and she has tons of potential.
You go girl... Excellent song and storytelling. Rooting for you🎉
Loved this! Beautiful song. Great singing & song writing talent. Beautiful young lady🎶💖
That’s my cousin so proud of you 👏🏽 🎉
I love Mama Cate so much. ❤❤❤❤
Shes gonna go far ❤ beautiful voice so effortless and pure
Really beautiful 🥰 .. i listened to it twice and will definitely listen again!! She's a winner 💖👏👏👏
This is giving "what if Patty Griffin had a daughter who idolized Kacey Musgraves."
Amazing song and voice! Def one of my favorites this season
Beautiful girl with a lovely voice.
She's a breath of fresh air. I think she can go far. Very good audition. One I'll be rooting for, for sure!!! Reminded me a little of Taylor Swifts first song, "tim Mcgraw" for some reason. I'm not sure why. But this was a very good audition.
What a pretty song and what a Beautiful voice!
I expect she could sell her songs no matter what happens with Idol. Gifted lyrics that were relatable to any parent.
Cate you're very talented and a great mama to keep and love your baby!!!
One of my favorites! ❤️
i was sold in that first minute of the song.. girl has great vocals
Beautiful song and story.
Loved it! Amazing job & talent
It made me cry as well. Very good voice and song! Beautiful young woman with talent and personality!

ANOTHER SUPERSTAR ALERT ! :)
I LOVE IT ! 😊🥰😉🫠❤❤❤
Grazie ❤
it's pretty remarkable how she stood there singing an original song about something so precious to her and was completely void of ANY emotion.... 🤣
So I've seen your other comments about the show recently. And I'm here because I'm wondering what are you even doing. Because it's clear you don't like the show anymore, yet your still commenting about it. Why are you even doing that if you not a fan of it in the first place. And if you say, "because I can," if you truly don't like the show anymore. Then you wouldn't care about it at all, and you would consider using your ability in commenting in comments sections related to the show as a waste of time and energy when you have other important things to care about.
It looked like she was nervous but she was great in my opinion.
Cate Gardner her singing song sounds like younger days version of TAYLOR SWIFT 🤔💭🗣️🔊👂
If you love this girl and her voice, have a listen to Casey Chambers from Australia. There’s some similarities both Beautiful in their own right
Okay, I’m pretty easy to cry, but this almost made me cry, lol.
does anyone know the song name of the song that was playing in the preview before her audition?
Well, she has the potential to be a fantastic country star.
Top 20 for sure, very likely top 10
She's good
Lovely
PROLIFE BABIES MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S ❤ Happy Birthday Katy ❤
Jeez man. If you don't want people to think that pro-lifers are a bunch of ignorant hillbilly rednecks, learn your plurals!!!
Yes.. she IS cute & talented..🥹🥰
Song was beautiful, not strong enough this time, but can sing❤
So talented. What happened in Hollywood? I missed seeing her performance or result. Not sure if she left competition on her own.
Happy Birthday, Katy!
❤
Was very impressed with this young lady. She’s the REAL DEAL. Her tonality is soothing. She should go far. Amazing talent.
As I hear this song it reminds me of Strawberry wine because she sounds like Deana Carter.
sweet :]
Cates songwriting is really good. Her voice is also good but it needs work considering the great talent she's gonna be up against.
A little reserved but she’s definitely got it
I thought the song was a bit simple. I would have liked to hear her sing a song we all know and recognize. She has a nice voice. I just don't think it's a winning voice. But given her looks and sound, she could possibly make it in the industry.
a couple of tweaks and that song is ready for radio play and one of those tweaks is make the last couple lines the chorus.....
I WAS BORED
0:56
Very nice but, coffee house.
👍💯❤💯👍
Jewel, anyone?
I thought that Katy was going ask her to sing again but just louder.
Great song. Does it seem like the best voices are going to The Voice? I have watched American Idol since season 1 and Kelly Clarkson. I knew Carrie Underwood was money. My son said Iam Tongi was. This girl? While she sings 300% (or more) better than me, it seems so much like most of the others they have put through. hoping she brings it next week!!
was like a Swiftie song.
She doesn't look like a 16-year-old. She looks way older.
How about writing a song about abstinence through HS ? That would be a great song.
I like her songwriting a lot! Her voice is pretty but I don’t know it feels like i’ve heard it before and it was a little flat at times (not like I’m remotely better than her lolol)
Sorry luke, theres no one close to allison krauss. I liked her & love the song. Definitely one i'll be watching
She sounds a lot like Deana Carter
okay so she's great but they kept saying things that they should have also said to sisters Mia and Jayden. It's nuts
The quality of actual singers has really gone downhill this season. They're all songwriters with average or below average singing. I want this show to go back to its roots and showcase great singers not songwriters.
Please continue education! Education is most important in your future
what does it take to have a wife like that!!
The answer to your question is: "it's not easy" because if it was everyone would have a wife like that.
that is my cousin and she is a total slay in person too
she is radiating!!@@preppylife600 .. do you look like her too given that u r her cousin 😆
I see nobody has any problem with being 16 and pregnant. So it is OK?
Well, guess what? She was 16 and pregnant and chose to have her precious child. That takes way more courage to make that decision rather than murdering her baby. People make decisions and carry on and make more decisions. I'm not saying it's right to have sex at 16. In fact, I taught my kids to wait until marriage before sex, as God designed it for one man and one woman. The point is that we all make choices, and she at least chose her child. That is fantastic. Abstinence before marriage, I think, is best, but that isn't her story.
