American Idol/Heartwarming


 * The Season 9 finale where Simon gave his goodbye speech after contestants from the entire run (seven of the first eight winners -- David Cook couldn't make it -- and 18 former contestants) sang together in one big song.
 * This.
 * If we listed all the heartwarming personal stories shared by contestants, we'd be here all day.
 * On the season 11 Top 8 results show, contestant Joshua Ledet was feeling ill, but Ryan Seacrest showed that he genuinely cares for the cast by making it clear to Joshua that he should speak up if he starts to feel worse. He even told Joshua that he didn't have to come on stage to hear his result if he was not feeling up to it (he did though, and he was ultimately safe).
