I was out and feeling sick sick with the flu I swear I felt my spirit go right back up after hearing your audition and that voice heals. Just the cure I needed and now I'm listening to all your videos rn. You have a voice of an 😇 angel
After hearing your daddy sing lead, I know that he resides in your heart, iam. I'm not going to sugarcoat grief like some may be doing. My daddy passed decades ago and there are days that feel like I just cremated him yesterday. We used to sing together. He taught me many songs starting when I was a toddler. He would play his ukulele & when I got older I would play piano to accompany him. It's the LOVE THAT NEVER FADES OR FAILS that will get you through the years . You are amazing grace. Mahalo for sharing your gift and the legacy of your daddy. Sending Healing Light and Healing Love to you and your family. 🌺Aloha nui🌺
What beautiful memories you'll have forever Iam 🥺 cherish those ppl God gives in ur life. because you never know when He might need them back. And praise God for ur dad and the relationship you got to have with him. Much love 🤙 you've got my vote!!!!! ❤
Beautiful singing William with your late Dad. Loving the harmony though...😁😁 happy to be supporting you on this platform. I actually first know and followed you on tiktok. Rooting for you as well on American Idol 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤜🔥🤛🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Such a blessing that you had this kind of relationship with your dad. It is touching to watch this. It helps me to understand your heartache. God bless you as you continue in the life He has planned for you. You are a blessing to us now Iam. Following you on your journey.
Aww so beautiful seeing you and your dad together is pure love❤ I never had my dad in my life 😢 he is gone now and it hurts I can't imagine your pain.your voice is angelic I've been binge watching all your videos over and over can't get enough.
Mr Rodney as you watch your son sing From heaven feeling the pride rushing through your veins I’d just like to thank you for raising Iam with the voice and soul angel. RIP💐💕
We say in England ‘From a tiny acorn the mighty oak tree grows’. No truer thing ever said. Our indigenous Celtic ancestors worshipped them, they are still symbolic here.🤗🌹🇬🇧 watching you, I think of that
i actually stumbled on this a year ago while looking for some hawaiian songs, and now u won american idol. good for you brotha, your dad be proud of you. mahalo.
I have never really watched AI until this season. You have such a beautiful voice and soul. I love watching your home videos with you and your Dad. Makes me remember how much I miss both my Mom and Dad. Your Dad reminds me of my cousin Rodney, he was always there and supportive to my cousin and their boys. Just know you have a voice that heals and calms the soul. Hawai'i and those of us who also got priced out of the islands love and support you. Rest in Peace and Love Mr. Rodney and if you should meet my cousin Rodney and my ohana, let them know our aloha.
May the blessings of God covers you always Iam in your going out and coming in. You are definitely a true gift from God. Bless your dad may his soul rest in peace 🌹🌹🌹🇯🇲🇯🇲
