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
Life takes thats what it means to be alive. To struggle against the odds crying and yelling at it till the very end. Till its your turn to shrug and laugh. Im sorry for your terrible loss but please from a stranger struggle and gp against the odds.
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.
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 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.

Well said. Thank you Iam. You’re humility, and your life makes you Americas Sweetheart. We’re rooting for you and praying for God’s blessings upon you..Stay being you.
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!
@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.
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 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.
This performance is even more emotional than his audition. Wow Iam you bring tears to all of us who needed a good cry. Thank you so much. God bless you and good luck in your journey!
My gosh IAM Tongi I'm in my late70 I no how hard it must be for u to sing this song can feel your loss I no what it's like to loose a Aroha love one u bring tears to my eyes everytime I listen to u sing u nail every song u sing can't wait 2 see when your album comes out God bless u on your musical journey your late dad mum and all your whanau family will be proud off u your a credit to all off them and the world is a better place cause your in it true what Katie said the judge
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 ❤🙏🏽❤️🌺
wow amazing experience, His father's passing actually catapulted his son Iam into national spotlight with "monsters" song. It was God ordained, He took Iam's father home to glory and God used it also give Iam a voice with loving emotion that has touched the hearts of millions. God is good and His mercy endures forever
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.

He knew you before you even came into this world. ❤❤❤Continue to be a blessing to others. Just thank you❤❤❤❤❤
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 ❤️
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!
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!!!!🌴🏝🌊
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! 🎶 🌺
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 watching from Adelaide, Australia ❤❤❤❤❤
A lot of people outside the USA have been following American Idol just to see and hear Iam perform. He already has a huge fan base all over the world. He is an exceptional human being with a unique voice that touches everyone. As the judges say : A magical phenomenon. I loved ALL his performances. Especially when he did Don't let go and Cool down. Amazing songs. Why have I never heard of these songs before ?
IAm must remembered his dad and how he wish his here with him🥹..❤ thank you IAm for being strong and finishing it🥰. I know you're still grieving(((hugs))))
I was looking forward to hearing Iam sing the complete song and it was as touching and beautiful as I imagined. I can't wait to see him win the title of American idol in three days!
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.
One day we will all look back on some of these videos, and know at that point musical history was changed forever, just as Elvis did when he first started. Amazing job, young man! Keep singing.
Bruddah Iam u make Hawaii so proud. I miss the islands and my family being up in Washington state as well. Thank you to God, your family, and your gift. Mahalo my bruddah and congrats 🤙🏽🍻
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
James blunt will always be welcome to Hawaii too. Iam is a superstar ! But his sweet and humble nature make him extra special combined with his God given talent
💜 way to go IAM....what an angelic and velvety voice! What a great blessing ! You are so loved , you have great soul and an amazing talent ! Dad is proud of you and watching over to you and family.

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.♥️🙏
You cry it out Iam! I can tell you that no matter how many times you cry, you'll never stop crying. It's okay to cry. It's not a sign of weakness. It just your heart telling the world how much you love him and how much he loved you. My dad passed away 24 years ago and my mother, 13 years ago and I still cry my eyes out. Just remember that through you, he lives on. You've shown him to the world young man. The pain will never go away. We just learn to close the dams gates until the floods come. When they do, no dam is holding back the floods. This is the circle of life. Stay strong young man and know that it's okay to love him as much as you do! He's smiling from above at the man you've become. He's been at your side singing along all this time. Cry away IAM TONG, because those are tears of love.
My dad past 17 years ago, and as father myself, I can honestly say hand on heart that this song indeed touches your heart strings and iam father will be looking down smiling and will be so so proud of his baby boy. A fantastic human being and an inspiration to many, and such a magical voice, I am so blessed to have watched American idol and was blessed to see iam sing, so thankyou very much from myself here in the united kingdom. God bless
I love how his Mom comforted him then set him free. She's an amazing & strong lady. I don't know how she does it. I'd be bawling every time Iam sang this song.

You have made his wish of you being in American Idol come true. Sending love from one islander to another...❤❤❤

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...

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.

Every time I hear this I start to cry😢. What a magnificent singer and storyteller. Iam FTW😊
I was looking forward to hearing Iam sing the complete song and it was as touching and beautiful as I imagined. I can't wait to see him win the title of American idol in three days!
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.
One day we will all look back on some of these videos, and know at that point musical history was changed forever, just as Elvis did when he first started. Amazing job, young man! Keep singing.

You cry it out Iam! I can tell you that no matter how many times you cry, you'll never stop crying. It's okay to cry. It's not a sign of weakness. It just your heart telling the world how much you love him and how much he loved you. My dad passed away 24 years ago and my mother, 13 years ago and I still cry my eyes out. Just remember that through you, he lives on. You've shown him to the world young man. The pain will never go away. We just learn to close the dams gates until the floods come. When they do, no dam is holding back the floods. This is the circle of life. Stay strong young man and know that it's okay to love him as much as you do! He's smiling from above at the man you've become. He's been at your side singing along all this time. Cry away IAM TONG, because those are tears of love.
