Kelly Clarkson got emotional after a gay couple’s audition on “The Voice” impressed the judges.
Singing duo OneUp, Adam and Jerome, performed “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love” by The Spinners. Their vocals caused Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Blake Shelton to turn their chairs around.
Adam and Jerome reveal that after singing together they fell in love. Their love story brought tears to Clarkson’s eyes.
“It’s going to sound super cheesy, and I’ll try not to cry because I’m that girl,” Clarkson says. “In a time in this country when it is so divisive, this is such a beautiful thing. It is proof that in this country, love is limitless. It can happen anywhere with anyone. It’s the most beautiful thing that’s happened to me this season.”
The judges also invited Adam and Jerome’s families on stage. Hudson immediately fell in love with the couple and the family.
I want to be in the family,” Hudson says and rushes on stage.
