Fractured a lot of souls and captivated a lot of hearts with his performances during his American Idol Journey. His new single is a beautiful song this young man will be making great songs 😍 by the way I love watching your reactions to Iam’s performances. ♥️ yous came through with the support from the beginning till the end. God bless 🙌🏻♥️

That intro had me tearing up before the song even started. This whole performance is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. They are two men on that stage who have lost their dads and the support James Blunt offers Iam is so genuine. Even though James' father lived I truly believe that both their fathers were on the stage that night.

There were several things that worked against Iam keeping his composure. - In his previous singing of "Monsters", Iam had to prep himself/drum up his self-control before starting to sing the song. This time, he had no choice on when to start, he was singing a duet. He was singing on cue. Ready-set-go. - In his previous renditions of this song, Iam had the security blanket of his father's guitar to blanket him and to bolster his confidence. This time, he was singing naked. - This time he was singing a duet. He didn't have the lyrics of the song to keep driving him to the next note. He had to start and stop. Stopping was easy, starting up again was very hard. - Most importantly, he was singing with James Blunt. James' emotions poured through his voice, they were overwhelming.

Yep. He said he listened to the song with his Dad a lot and sang it for him. To meet the person who actually wrote the song that helped him is overwhelming and he was grieving right in front of all of us..

Iam mentioned in an interview that once James started singing, he could feel the heartbreak in his voice and from that point on, he lost it.

I commend iam's grace and strength through this performance. i dont blame him for crying mid performance, because he's still a 18 year old kid who's grieving for his dad. its bigger than american idol. he's putting his story and heart out there to the millions, congrats iam, well deserved

It's not only finding ourselves in James Blunt's lyrics, it's finding ourselves in the way Iam sings - his heart connects with ours. When we are with others in this way there's a collective moment when the energy of ours feel at the same time with all the layers of emotions. Tears express what our heart feels, happy tears, longing tears, sad tears, proud tears. For most women being tearful is easier & accepted. When grown men soften in an expression of tears, it's not weakness, but shows their heart. That is a man of strength. React to the World popped up on my phone last week. I've watched every video mentioning Iam Tongi. Have enjoyed each won. Many blessings, Mahalo & keep doing what you do SO well♡

@gregorydryden7865 Жыл бұрын
awesome reaction, I got to thinking, that God had a plan and Iam Tongi never would have won if his father didnt pass away and God took Him to glory. That event prompted Iam to audition with 'monsters" with all of the emotion and it highlited Iam's amazing talent in guitar playing and vocals. and that audition catapulted Iam to National fame, and made him a local Hawaaian hero. Iam then gets to sing a duet with James Blunt who wrote the song and it becomes one of the most moving duets ever. Iam actually made James Blunts song exponentially more famous. Of Course Iam rides this amazing wave of events and momentum to deliver one awesome performance after another and is not the winner of American Idol. God is indeed good
