What an emotional night. Thanks @AmericanIdol for such a beautiful beginning & a perfect ending.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Audience members started crying first, followed by a teary-eyed Jennifer Lopez and an openly weeping Keith Urban. But what really caused him to cry?
A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY:
“Keith was touched by Kelly’s raw emotions during her performance, but it was really his own emotions that had him feeling overwhelmed. Her song was all about her father and the father of her children, which struck a chord with him.
An insider also added — Keith grew up having a great relationship with his dad, unlike Kelly. Unfortunately his father died in December 2015 and he’s still heartbroken over it. Hearing her sing about what a great father her husband is, got to Keith and this made him emotional.
