She didn't even try... to win the public's opinion whether she sounded good or bad. She sounded like an angel signing for her father... and it wasn't staged.

RIP Chris and Chester, , still watching in 2024.

His daughter is TWELVE years old here?? She's standing on a stage singing for a crowd honoring her father?! She's not even trying to impress anyone with vocals and her voice is still fantastic. She is going to go FAR in life. I'm blown away!!! What a precious being.

This must have been the hardest thing for her do. I'm imagining her daddy would be so proud.

[goodcommentman]

As a dad this is simply heartbreaking. God bless that young girl.

[raeesaahmad]

Its heartbreaking knowing that she sang for both her father and godfather who died months apart 💔

I'm back in 2024 to watch this again. Chris Cornell's death is the only celebrity death that shook me. It still does. Watching his daughter sing tribute to him... rough.

She's definitely Chris Cornell's daughter especially with her haunting yet beautiful voice the spirit of Chris lives on with his daughter.

That's an emotional weight no one should have on them at 12. But she's as composed as someone a decade older. To pull this off in front of a crowd and cameras, at that moment, nothing but respect. Very strong girl.

I don’t care how tough you think you are...this will bring a tear.

[shwoopty_doopty]

6 years later and it still hurts. Rest in peace, both of you. ❤️

Hallelujah.... that poor child. Lost their daddy and was still able to get up there... I'm 33 and lost my mom 13 years ago and can still barely function. I hope she is surrounded by light and love.

[MrRweaver]

That young lady though. Such a strong and beautiful little girl.

Rest in peace chris and chester. They were both so talented. No one can ever replace them. Toni inherited her father's looks and his beautiful voice. This performance brought me to tears.

As someone that’s bipolar…. I sobbed this whole song…. The battle of depression is absolutely destroying, the fight is even more difficult….

[Synystr]

You can see in her face she still is in disbelief... Man that hurts.

[travislivengood]

She sings just like her dad. That young lady has a lot happening behind those eyes. I hope she sees what a gift she shares with her father and the joy it brought and brings.

[thrithree]

She must have been completely cried out by this point. I dont know how else she could have got through that beautiful piece of music. Historic.

[Vaskcin]

You can just see the emptiness in her eyes. I couldn't imagine what she must be going through. god bless
