This man swept the nation

[@trishatasani3125]

Totally Agree

[@jesto3740]

Made the nation weep with him.

[@JudahRoar32]

he has pure talent 💯

[@chrisjudd2747]

No song or singer has ever made me burst into tears til this! He needs to record this..... exactly like this!

[@moojoe1454]

Yes, just a few more instruments and it will be so beautiful. I gotta stop crying.

[@chrisjudd2747]

I like the simplicity of just him and his guitar I really hope he makes enough$$$ to get his family back to Hawaii .... super talented

[@davidpattiasina4862]

1000 yesss to record this 😢😢

[@claudiaonh9867]

He sang it years ago. It’s on KZbin. Even better than this one

[@jimtuell4076]

He had to do a version that cut out one full verse and half of the middle part so that it would be short enough for the American Idol rules. It was still wonderful, but I would want his recording to include all of the song. (It is a wonderful song that I fell in love with one week after James Blunt released his video recording, in early January, 2020.)

[@sandrastreber9178]

I am 72 I love this boy ❤❤his voice is angelic I crying. I lost my husband in December 22 I can keep this in. My heart ❤❤.

[@lethagibson-rw2zu]

The voice that was FELT AROUND THE WORLD ❤️🔥

Perfectly said

[@dixieshepherd4132]

And now his winning brings a tsunami of a therapy session as he just breaks you WIDE OPEN! Love you Iam ❤ Tina

[@DeletedUser61420]

My Whole family burst into tears 😭😭😭 even my dad start crying man Ima Tongi go ahead brother life has promised gifts for you and just as everyone has said your dad is very proud

[@Polynasian808]

Proud of you uso!! All of hawaii and the world are behind you🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@kobraklutch7484]

Yessah! Awesome singer

[@trevor866]

I'm strictly into Metal. I don't watch this show, not even sure how I saw his audition but he has an amazing voice. Won me over pretty quick with this.

[@sognodiangeli5436]

This hit deep. This young man is exceptionally strong. My dad died years ago, and i am still a mess.

[@LisaD-1969]

I loved his audition. Not just because of his story but his singing is breathtaking. I found his KZbin page or his families page-not sure which. There are a number of songs that he sings with his dad harmonizing The one that broke me was One More Day by Diamond Rio that he sang with his dad. I’m looking forward to his journey.

[@jaysalde3950]

Im not your Son your not my Father were just two grown men saying GOODBYE !!!!! 🥲 It hurts so hard 🥺😭

[@byHexted]

That’s definitely the line that got me the most

[@kauabarros9638]

I don’t care how hard you thingk you are this you man will bring back to a young boy with your dad 🤘🏽representing Oahu like a champ Yessa

“I’m not your son, you’re not my father, we’re just two grown men saying goodbye “... I can't sing this but I can read.

[@plt1969]

Priced out of paradise... someone smart needs to sign this gem so he can return to paradise. He is pure perfection. Team Tongi❤

[@Jaymzdrmz]

A voice like that could only come from paradise

[@yourtoprankedchannel]

Throughly enjoyed Iam’s audition! He CRUSHED it!!

[@anonymous7743]

Think that voice is what the world needs today

[@ugene1978]

Iam ,thank you for making a beautiful song a wonderful tribute to Father's who have done so well, James Blunt wrote this beautiful tribute but you helped to spread the message!! It reminds me of my Father who I try to be like everyday,and yet try to be a better Father to my kids....

[@berlyn3014]

Every time I see this I just want to reach through the screen , give him a hug and tell him that is dad is definitely proud of him.

[@vanpetrovic9827]

He’s made every grown man cry with his voice and delivery. Much love for this kid❤️

[@homefry707]

I’ve had just over 2 years to get used to missing my mom, as a grown woman. To be able to speak was a challenge at 2 months. I am in awe. The emotion in his voice made it even better.

[@et9093]

I’ll definitely be watching American Idol because of him. Rooting for you Toko! (Brother) Much Ofas ❤

[@gregorydryden7865]

great reaction, Tongi is sent directly from heaven to touch the depths of our souls

[@chuckpeters3067]

I could listen to him sing for hours with no problem, he tells a believable story with his extraordinary amazing voice.

[@anonymous7743]

Meant to say think that voice and that heart is what the world needs today

[@TheBserk]

i find the most interesting thing about polynesian voices, is that when they sing songs like this with so much emotion behind it, you can really feel the ache in their tone. it's a really captivating thing.

[@76ralyn]

Love your reaction. I am rooting for this kid. His voice is so soothing and beautiful and I felt his heartache and love through it. I cried so much during this performance and he is so brave and got through it and I'm sure he made his dad and family very proud . I lost it at the end when they started playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow by IZ. Looking forward to seeing more reactions

[@litdamenace]

Appreciate your review.

[@hollc.2475]

In the end...none of life's bs matters. It's all about humanity and what "did" matter... this is from the heart and soul. And that vibe is given to each one that hears it, as well...

[@rogertatac]

How many times I listen the song it's a heartbreaking song....I would say...beautiful song!!!

[@mysoullovessoul558]

Such beauty in heartbreak is devastating to watch but inspiring to hear. God bless you Iam.

[@KuiniMary]

Beautiful video - thanks for sharing!

[@brileygabriel4949]

Bravo to Mr Blunt and IAM. This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and certainly one of the most touching performances I have ever heard!

[@blueangel2717]

[@katrogue9239]

Loved your reaction. What a beautiful tribute to his dad. He has such a beautiful voice, and I could feel every emotion coming out throughout the song. 18 years old and has such a humble heart. Music is a Language we all understand and for him to be able to keep himself composed well in his audition and execute it perfectly. That is pure Talent. ❤❤🙏 Much Love

[@gordontemple6826]

Way cool voice he had me tear ing up.

[@rachannenabong1146]

i wish i recorded myself when i watched it for the first time. started balling once he sang the first line

[@masterkingkoy796]

That song hits me so hard the first time I heard it..didnt even know this song at all..and he such have an amazing voice. I was struck right in my heart coz i lost my dad too who was the only person closest to me.

[@marthalisk303]

Iam has fractured souls with this audition.

[@wisdomSP]

Not gonna lie, I cried when I heard this.

[@djdrew3127]

Lump in my throat the whole time! My Dad taught me how to play music for people. Lost him a few years back!.. He was super strong as soon as he started playing. He will be Top 5 for sure!... Cool set up by the way. I'm a huge wrestling fan.

[@noahmonroe6907]

The love you dad at the end is enough to send you. And when he said yeah well my dad

[@adublbeatz8656]

So many sad reasons I can say this song touched me...but this young man can really sing. There is a natural feel to his voice that is amazing..

[@calicat3015]

Riiiight It hit my family too. Losing their dad (54) to early in life.

[@solidostso8500]

[@UK_Ricky]

His name is William Tongi, and speak as "Tony" as his dad is called Rodney , he wants to remember his dad so he say his name with his dad connection.

[@lisasullivan781]

He needs a recording contract he is awesome

[@cateringtoyourtastebuds3844]

I saw this on tik tok from a scaled down version but hearing the story took it to another LEVEL

[@sweetwaterz1597]

Amazing song, the audition next level!

Tears upon tears every time I watch this performance.

[@rubyparker1418]

Can feel your hand on my arm.....then he looks as if his father has his hand on his arm. Them feels people, seriously, them feels.

[@aaron_knight]

As a father this hit my heart so deep I can't describe it. Thank you Dad for everything you did for us, even when I didn't understand, I miss your strength and try to make you proud of me every day. Rest easy, it's my turn now, I Love you so much.

[@hkepanijr]

Thank you Brad that audition was awesome. Keep up your music😎

Love your genuine reactions ! Aloha ❤🤙🏾

[@ikaaliklik7609]

Love you uce stay strong 💪

[@bartonbagnes4605]

A powerfully emotional performance. Beautiful vocals. Now we need to see some diversity from him, with a happy song or an angry song.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

I have watched this a while ago from another Reactor, just heartbreaking to know his father had passed away. Such an excellent singer/guitarist. He won American Idol & I am not in the least surprised!! Well done Iam 💝💝

[@kathharrison9060]

Any reactions from James Blunt? He must be blown away by Iam

[@michaelolson757]

Nice reaction very real.

[@m-i-n-yxiao8417]

Brad, u r soo deep into the song... u almost forget that it's a reaction. Tongi is a good singer n story teller. Good luck for him... and u as well. ❤

Originally a James blunt song. Monsters' sees Blunt share the screen with his elderly dad Charles, who has stage 4 chronic kidney disease.

When will you do a audition?

[@whitewalker57]

At 7:03 the line “I can feel your hand on my arm”…what do you think he looked at too his right?? 😢

[@whitewalker57]

My hand on your arm*

[@pekimatafeo3040]

😢🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@Jaymzdrmz]

You should hear him sing with his dad. His dad could sing too

[@Inokea]

To help you out, most of the world's languages pronounce the vowels one way A=ah E=eh I=ee O=oh (short) U=oo (like the sound in "boo"). That's it, no trickery or nonsense like our American English. For example Ukulele is prounounce Oo Koo Leh Leh, NOT you ka lay lee. You might know the correct pronunciation of "Soju"=Soh Joo. Sake is Sah Keh. Marinara is Mah Ree Nah Rah, not mare uh nair uh. There's no tomfoolery like tough and bluff or though bow sew haha. Hope that helps.

[@mapelitauteoli3887]

❤❤❤😢😢😢

[@dianadavis6121]

While you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud😢😢😢❤

You’re not gonna make it without crying.

[@drthomason7043]

If his Dad was on dyalysis, no wander they were priced out of Paradise. A move to greive. Knowing his Dad could die any moment, another reason to be grieving. His Dad dies and won't be there to support him another moment to grieve.

[@denniszenanywhere]

React to Tyson venegas in the same show. He’s a Filipino Canadian who got the first platinum ticket this year.

[@RioChristian-h6j]

Seharusnya istrinya diajak react juga..pasti akan berasa lebih sedih😢😂

[@DevilDog78]

The monster coming after my father is Alzheimer's, and there's not a damn thing I can do to stop it.
