    This man was my old Spanish teacher. He was kind, funny, and always entertained us with songs and fun clips to help us learn. Christina was my old PE teacher. She was kind and overall a great person. Best of luck to you Mr. Mauser. I wish you and your lovely children the best possible life you could have. 🙏❤️
    Edit: thank you guys for all the support! I love you all sm and I’m glad I got to share a bit with you.

Yes it was all that they would say Kobe Bryant n Gigi, I know alot of people were upset because they didn't mention the others names only as the passengers. Its sad either way you look at it cause they're no longer here, may our grandpa(GOD OUR CREATOR) n our dad(Jesus) up above bring them comfort n protection n strength to carry on.

    I watched this with my wife and had no clue that I would have the same experience this man had shortly after. I remember she cried, said it was so sad, he was so hurt. I have never been able to watch this since she left us; she caught COVID and was gone four days later.
    I wish things got better after such a crushing blow, but then 4 months later, our house caught fire; at least I got a chance to follow her advice, save my son, then grab the pictures and everything else we could replace.
    I can tell you that you are just now going through this, it is hell, but it gets better with time, the hurt is no less, but you learn to live with it.

      Idk anyone who only remembers Kobe and his daughter. My first thought was "omg. I hope the other families are compensated, remembered, honored, and have access to counseling bc many lives were just lost and this is traffic for EVERYONE involved." The world is not heartless, it's not bad, and most people have compassion for others. Just bc the ignorant is so loud and the media focuses on that, it doesn't mean that's how life really is. There are so many amazing individuals who felt bad and prayed for all involved.

    I watched this audition when it aired. And I was stunned. Not only a great artist but an amazing person. When the world lost Kobe Bryant, Matt Mauser lost his world. I can't imagine his pain, nor would I wish it on anyone. I know as a child, losing a parent is arguably the toughest thing to go through.

    Matt was my teacher back when he taught at our elementary school. We're all very tight knit in that community, with a small class size that is kinda forced to become family. He was the best kind of teacher to have around, & his wife Christina was the best form of support through my years K-12. They're the most genuine family. He brought his guitar into class EVERY day and played our worries away with fun songs in spanish. Christina was so special and it's still so hard for me to believe she was gone. She helped me through some of my darkest days in my developmental years.
    I'm so happy to finally see him on a stage shining, where he truly belongs. To put a time on it, I'm 23 years old now and this was way BACK when i was in kindergarten! He is so deserving of this success, and I'm sending all my love and support to his family ❤️

    I think he could be a country singer. He has the voice.

    Simon’s gift is not only finding talent but finding authenticity. His question at the end was answered in such an honest and open way. Just as emotional as the song. Well done Matt. From one father to another.

    My husband died 6 days before his wife. I dont know how he managed to make it so far thru that song. I'm crying so much right now. This pain is like no other and those lyrics are so on point with how it feels

    This man always makes me cry, when he said " she would want us to have happy lives, I don't know if that's possible but I'm gonna try" I felt the tears... You can feel the love he has for his wife, and I know she is watching down on him every single second. He is a very strong man. God bless him and his children. I hope he wins

    I like how AGT never mentioned Kobe in the title or description. Not that it wasn't a big deal, but the performance and spotlight is meant for Matt, his family and to the memory of his wife. Condolences again to the family

      I almost didn't watch this one because I was thinking it was just another sad story audition. I am glad the auto put it on for me or I would have missed it.
