Oliver Steele & Iam Tongi Full Performance | American Idol 2023 Hollywood Week Duets Day 2

[@ninamargaretquilop]

Every time I watch this, Oliver is just so patient, empathetic and very supportive. The judges were wonderful. This two sing well together.

[@KatHenderson.]

I just watched a recent interview Oliver gave. He said that he didn't even know that Iam's dad had died, until after this duet. Iam talked about his dad, but not that he had died, and these backstories weren't put in until it aired. Oliver also said that he was the one that told Iam to tape the lyrics to his guitar. Iam didn't want to, because he'd get in trouble. Oliver told him he wouldn't, that they'd probably think it was funny. Iam never told the judges that, and he has also never shared that. Oliver knew the song, but Iam didn't- but loved it. The thing is, he was singing harmony on that song, and that was his dad's part. The other thing is Iam was still in high school (he graduated last month), and he had to do senior classwork, on top of everything the other contestants had to do. He never mentions that either.

I wish they'd release this song together as a single on the radio. I'd play it on repeat ❤

[@richardhernandez5808]

same i broke down crying listening to his song to his dad and this duet, i fucking love this two guys best duet ever

[@KS-zw9ry]

I would play it on repeat as well.

[@joshuageorge4251]

I completely agree i hope one of these 2 guys wins the whole thing

[@amothandamammoth]

these 2 heartbroken people are such pros

[@christybaxter6895]

Yes!!!

[@wxkat]

I love how Oliver and the judges were able to boost Iam’s confidence to where he was able to pull off a great performance almost as if nothing happened. Really admire his resilience.

[@donnarowe8618]

Seriously, dudes, stay together after Idol as a duet. You're so perfect together. Kindred Spirits, indeed! Thank you for the magic that is you two and your wonderful gifts!

[@FredrickMatt-yv6es]

Indeed a good dude 😍

[@randykelley6826]

I don't care who wins idol this time around, Iam Tongi will be the most remembered performer from this season for years to come

[@tomtomlinson4826]

Oliver Steele- what a beautiful human being.

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

If I could hit “👍🏻” more than once!!! What beautiful humans, beautiful voices, beautiful souls!!!

[@caseyb1316]

“You did it. I told you that you could do it and you did it”.

[@melodykasl2753]

That was a BEAUTIFUL duet! Their voices, individually, are special. But together, they were magical!

[@bbylion3334]

I need them to release this as a cover. The amount of times I have listened to this is crazy! Sooooo good. 🥺❤️

[@KatHenderson.]

I absolutely LOVE their Photographs duet! Did you see that Iam was headlining a concert in Hawaii over the July 4th weekend? Oliver joined him on stage for a duet. The were also gifted gorgeous custom made "brothers" ukuleles.

[@WeekendAthlete365]

This is absolutely amazing. Chris Cornell and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole singing to us through these guys from heaven. Stamp this and release it immediately

[@ronniekirk6839]

What is the name of

[@ablossman13]

totally agree

[@Autoflowergrunt]

I think that’s one of the best duets

[@yaginiwamoto3449]

Agree!

[@viliamegucake1259]

One of the best duets I have heard. Both having sung songs of their own for their father's, it was a brilliant idea for them to do a duet together. Wish them both the very best for the rest of the comp. Watching this with a teary eye.

[@donnalombus3813]

He breaks my heart. 😢 Oliver supported him and they did a beautiful job.

[@davem45]

I want to buy Iam all the guitars in the world! these two did an amazing job. I could listen to them all day

[@zenobiagadson7951]

No matter what this looks like a friendship for life they sound great apart and together. This is my favorite song already.😊😊

[@kauabarros9638]

That “i got you bro “ at the start “ tho 👊🏽🤙🏾👍🏽

[@roshinisuehiro]

They are both good together. This should be on a playlist

[@LillyDeLaRosa-y8j]

I’ve never seen such a beautiful duet on American Idol I love these 2 Amazing voices. I hope they both go a long way.

[@muuzika7609]

Oliver Man You Always Back The Brother Up..Thats What True Friends Are For.....God Bless You

[@marthalisk303]

Kindred spirits, voices and I believe friends for life! One of my all time favorite duets.

[@Justin-zz2kz]

That’s just 2 of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Good luck to both of you

[@alexwaits7724]

Love them both the support they had for each other and the reading off the lyrics was smart and funny at the same time

[@wxkat]

I saw a recent interview with Oliver where he admitted that it was his idea for Iam to tape the lyrics to his guitar. He reassured Iam that he wouldn’t get in trouble, that the judges wouldn’t care, and that they’d even like it. And he was right… sort of. 😁

[@patsyparraz4461]

Their voices are just amazing🎉❤😮

[@annlei8223]

Love this duet! So much talent on these guys. But I gotta vote for Iam Tongi. Every time Iam sings I cry🥹🫶

[@angelabrooks-judd9247]

Go Iam!! I’m rooting for you ❤️🥰

[@Dustin21A]

This is one of the best covers of any song I’ve ever heard

[@edithcaviness1820]

Wow!! The best team ever. Iam makes me cry every time I hear him and this song with Oliver just knocked it out of the park.. I sure hope they win. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ from North Carolina

[@debbiebeaulieu6787]

Our Iam is a very Special human being on this earth' few and far between to find such a gentle soul as Iam ❤ May God Bless and guide him through his lifes endeavors 🙏🩴

[@livingkuleana6309]

They truly are kindred spirits

[@jackieelliott4375]

I put all his songs on my favorite play list❤❤

[@cherylalt101]

Love this duet! I'm back again and was just here yesterday lol. When Iam sings with anyone else, it's always beautiful. I've said this before, but I think from singing with his father, he's truly learned how to really harmonize with others and always brings out the best in everyone. And Iam and Oliver together are two gentle souls whose voices mesh together perfectly! See y'all tomorrow probably lol!

[@bonniesalyers9195]

Two friends singing together..lovely

[@heatherpatterson9246]

After all these years he still has so much emotion in his voice when he sings this song. He’s an absolutely amazing artist.

Oliver admitted in a recent interview that taping the lyrics to Iam’s guitar was his idea. He said Iam didn’t want to do it as he didn’t want to get in trouble. He reassured Iam he wouldn’t, the judges wouldn’t even care, and that they’d even like it. And Oliver was right… sort of. 😉
