I feel like Rodney is smiling down on his baby boy. The absolute strength of his momma is astounding. I know how it feels to suddenly be a single parent and she’s handling business. Has all of my votes.
Awww😘😘😘😘
You dear dad is looking down on you, he is sooo proud of you Iam😘💚💚💚
Bless your beautiful pure soul💚💚
❤
He had an amazing father and he also still has his extraordinary mother.. This is why it is very important for parents to be the best example for their kids
I'm saying. She is strong
Of course. Heaven is real
I never heard this song till he did his audition. Now I love it! Way to go IAM
same!
same
🤚
Same here.
Same here
Gosh! You can tell how hard it is for him to sing this song yet he sang it beautifully when he auditioned. The strength of this young man!!!
I love how iam mom supported him when he is cracking and let him go when he finally spread his wings and get up! You are amazing mom! You raised a next american idol
You said it so perfectly well. And it's true, your mother or father, they teach you and guide you how to get up and walk and eventually to let you go and to be on your own and that is in life in general.
I was looking for a reaction like this. You're absolutely right. It's inspiring to see.
Not just an American icon but a world icon. Support from across the pond
Aqui no Brasil tem um dizer popular muito conhecido que diz; As coisas que amo, deixo-as livre, se voltarem é porque as conquistei, se não voltarem é porque nunca as tive.
Essa música na voz dele ficou melhor do que a original. Viajei na letra lembrando do meu pai que perdi quando eu tinha apenas 8 anos de idade, mas me lembro de cada momento ao lado do meu velho pai.
Jaký americky idol??? Je to kluk z Hawaii....a ušacky koloniste si Hawai jednoduše vzali...
This is the best and saddest song I ever heard. It made me cry and tore my heart away. Iam deserves to be the next American Idol. I never heard a song that made me cry like that.
I swear instantly his voice is beautiful
I love how when he was struggling to start his mom and then others came by his side to support him. ❤❤❤😢
I lost my Father, my brother, my daughter and few days back my mom 😭 This song is soo perfect..... Gave me strength....
Extremely sorry for your loss, sending you a big hug! 😢
man , God has a plan . leave the pain
♥
Praying for you bro. I will light a candle for you when i get chance. Stay strong and stay around people. You will be your own worst enemy in a quiet room. X
Iam is amazing. I am an old woman who cannot get enough of his angelic voice. How he can even sing this with his family around him is impossible. He needed his mother to calm him. It was beautiful and the whole song. He has all of my votes!
Me toooo...amazinggg
i lost my father 3 weeks ago and i cried every time listening to Iam singing “ Monster”😢😢😢
@Nancy you are not alone! I think this is the first time I have felt this way about an American Idol contestant. Sure there have been favorites on the other shows. Nothing compared to this guy Iam. He brings his own style and he is one of a kind. This 60 year old from North Carolina loves some Iam ! I hope he can pull this win out.
His rendition of this song is Amazing. I also am up in age and he ima you touch my soul every time you sing sing.I lost my husband 2 months ago and my son cried his heart out after hearing ima singing this song then said “ I’m glad I still have you mama I was lost for words. You have got my vote definitely and I’m from Northern Calif.

First time American idol kept me on the edge of my seat really put tears in my eyes
So beautiful to see Iam with his inter-generational family onstage along with friends & loved ones… This got me crying 😭 again and ❤ that crowd of supporters also sang with Iam! ‘loved seeing the babies in the background being attentive to Iam’s heart warming yet powerful voice that touches many souls ❤🙏🏽❤️🌺
I love this guy. Anytime I want to feel or feel centered, I watch Iam spilling his heart, and it reminds me, yes... this is the humanity I want to belong to.
He’s americas hurricane he is going to go so far he’s a star in every way we love him
I have listened to this song a 100 times and I still cry every time I hear it. James Blunt wrote a song that makes grown men cry.
Cant stop crying from beginning to end.😢 God Bless you Tongi🙏🏼 So much love in your heart💖 Praise God Always Aloha🙌🎵🎶
Thank you, Mommy, to touch his back and get Iam back on track. This is where Iam's started. He he sang this song with much confidence. Rest in peace Rodney ❤❤ You accomplished your journey.
Why in gods name do I keep watching this over and over. I cry more and more each time I do. Iam I understand and know that pain, losing my mom in my 20s and almost 20 years later knowing going thru health issues kidney transplant, dialysis with my dad. The pain is so real and trust me when I say your dad is with you every step you take and is beaming with joy for you. Rodney along with it seems like the entire world is soooo proud of you, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story and your dad with us. I can’t forget about James blunt putting his hand on your arm and the embrace at the end. I wish I could hug you myself and tell you how with time the pain eases doesn’t go away but eases. Your parents did an amazing job ❤️
God bless you Iam and your family!!❤
Just a boy who still needs his Dad around 🥺 forsho his dad is proud and standing next to him cheering on that stage ❤️❤️❤️ team IAM TONGI 😍‼️
Bless his beautiful soul! 😭💞
Just can’t get enough of this guy you are so loved Iam Tongi ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Make sure and vote!!
Iam this song , you fractured my heart with sadness as you missed your dad, hugs and LOVE ❤️ AND PRAYERS for you and your family 😊
Almost EXACTLY as it happened as I spoke to my father(11-28-21). . .Had NO IDEA he was going to "pass" merely 5 hours later, but, we got ENOUGH SAID and almost DITTO "the words to this song"...Sure is frightening, ALMOST, if that makes sense, to hear this song NOW. Thanks , Ia.m. you have strengthened my faith once again!
very touching song, how much IAM Tongi missed his Dad. I was crying too as I am grieving with my brother passed last year🥲🥲❤️❤️
Iam makes us proud to be from Hawai’i…🤙🏼
Man., beautiful!
Everytime my man sings this song his dad is right there with him and is why it hits so hard.
One incredibly talented young man. I have faith hes going to win the whole show and even if he doesnt, he definitely has a career in music already. He will go far! Sending all my love from Seattle! 🎶 🌺
So beautiful ❤
We cry with you Iam. You've touched all of us and broken our hearts. I lost my mom 3 years ago, so I cry buckets when you sing this song. Your family is so beautiful. ❤
Edit: I am so happy you won!! Yessah!!!!🌴🏝🌊
Love how the crowd help him when he was struggling
My husband absolutely LOVES this song!! So do I!! 🌈❤️❤️
I am just amazed that he can make it through the song whenever he performs it. If i starting singing along, the tears just flow, cause the song has so much meaning
Oh god, every time I watch him sing this song I cry ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love you Iam!
I love you Iam you are an angel sent from the heavens. To heal anyone who hears your voice.
I lost my belief in angels, heaven anything spiritual. When i lost my son last year. Death is cruel an rude. It took my boy he was 22 and at work. He had a heart attack...
It made me question everything i believed in.
You are truly helping my heart heal. Thank you

Your singing Monster at your Concert hit a nerve. I'm was raised in Sunset Beach ( still have the property in my trust) and this song brought so much memories with my Dad.
KITV dropping the ball with the audio. Could have had a billion views...
I melted when Lillie put her hands on Iam, bringing Rodney’s spirit to ground their son and keep this dream and legacy moving in the right direction.♥️🙏
Not even James Blunt himself did justice to this song the way you have!!!❤ You're amazing to listen to... You touched hearts around the world. Continue doing you ❤ Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

😢😢😢😢😢 because he's so talented, and seems to have taken it all in stride, it can be easy to forget he's only 18, and the love and bond he and his dad had (and probably still have) is so deep still. This made me cry, also. Father, bless Iam, Lord, in Jesus' name! AMIN!!
Every time I hear this I start to cry😢. What a magnificent singer and storyteller. Iam FTW😊
