I love that Katy asked for his fathers name in the first audition. It really means a lot to just hear their name said out loud to ppl who’ve lost loved ones. RIP Rodney
Iam Tongi! I fell in love with his voice this day! Been a fan EVER SINCE ❤ I love this young man and I’m rooting for him soooo much 🥹🙏🏽 Elijah you are an angel sweetheart ❤ I thank God your still here to bless us with your beautiful presence 🥹🙏🏽🙌🏼 To Preston who lost his mama.. sweetheart you are a treasure and just know mama was proud 🥲 🙏🏽
My husband passed away unexpectedly when my kids were 8, 11, and 13. Driving home from the funeral "I'm Already There" came on the radio and we all lost it. That year, 2001, the song would come up at the strangest times - the last I remember was driving home that first Christmas Eve. That song always brings me to tears, even 23 years later.
My son's school is only 15 minutes from Santa Fe. Having him come home and tell me that very day of the Santa Fe shooting that he was scared to go to school just broke my heart. My condolences to everyone who lost someone killed by senseless violence. Things have got to change! 😔
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness where the words this country was built on. I just don’t see how that’s possible when our child are not safe.
I saw Iam Tongi at Disneyland on Tuesday (5/9) on a school field trip. We had also saw Sofia Carson there. I was able to hear his beautiful voice and now I got to hear it again! ROOTING FOR YOU IAM!! God has great things in store for you
His story touched me very hard, I lost my precious momma when she was 29 years old and I was 8 years old, my momma had spinal meningitis and when she was 4 years old she had surgery on her back and also had to learn to walk all over again, the Drs told my beautiful grandparents the SM (spinal meningitis) could leave her and she would be fine, or it may not, so on Sept 2,1975 She couldn't take the pain of hurting any longer, and she ended all the pain and hurting and took her own life to stop the pain, I'm not going into detail of how she did it, because that is between me, my daddy and God only....... That story touched me the hardest of them all, because it hit home hard....... But I know one day soon I will see my precious momma and my amazing daddy that I just lost a year this coming August 21st and I was 57....... My heart breaks for anyone that has lost or will lose a loved one to suicide....... But myself I try to stay strong for myself and for my family that I've lost, because the next person could be another family member, a friend or even a stranger, I try my best to help with awareness on suicide and also DM........ My prayers go up very strong for everyone, even strangers daily, we just never know when our time here on this cruel earth is over with and God calls us home with him.......... God Bless and love to each and everyone of you all ✝️ ❤ ✝️
@@mechanicswifeI'm so sorry for your loss! I've also lost someone to suicide. I pray that everyone out there that is hurting or struggling in silence please find the strength to reach out to someone, you are not alone! 🙏🏻
He sang it better than I've ever heard before! Literally the best version I've ever heard! I wish they would release it so I could buy a copy! God bless you Elijah, you are truly special! 🙏🏻♥️🎶
When Elijah opened his mouth and started singing I Could feel it in my body. Some people think that MUSIC is meant to be HEARD. I BELIEVE MUSIC is MEANT to be FELT 😢
If u only listen to the words rhyme along yeah u hear music. When u feel a song u conect and beauty of this is that we all conect in our own way for millions of reasons. Shoutout to all the somgwriters
Preston's story about his Mother brought me to full blown sobbing! I've Been There, Tried That 4 times in my Adult life yet I reached out for help every time and now my Depression & Suicidal thoughts are under control with God's help & my Kids and Grandkids by my side ✝️🙏😭 Preston's voice soothes yet makes my heart cry❣️
I enjoyed all of these individuals. Thank you for putting this together. I was really taken by Oliver Steele. I loved his voice, but, wow, he's a great guitarist in his own right. I couldn't help but cry during several of these performances. I live for music; it's always wonderful to see those who feel the same. Thank you for this video again!
Why blame the politicians or for that matter the country? Perhaps folks need to grow up and recognize that the gun culture of America is the problem. Glad I live in Canada.
@@margaretpigot5503Because the country was founded on a flawed constitution and the politicians refuse to amend that constitution in an ethical way that reflects the morals that said country SHOULD be employing. America's gun culture didn't just happen one day. It was cultivated under a right that should have been scratched out of the constitution decades ago by the very politicians that stand and make speeches about how sad it is that children keep being killed in school shootings. The irony of that makes me just as angry as Katy Perry and I'm not even American.
Katy is right, the government has failed the people. The line in the Constitution granting the right to bare arms refers to state militias which needed to be armed to preserve the freedoms of each state and consequently the whole of the United States. Along with the right to bare arms comes the responsibility to use those weapons only for the defence of the freedom of the USA, the states and individuals. So how does the gun lobby justify the malcontents, the socially maladjusted, the irresponsible and possibly the insane getting access to firearms. The gun lobbyists won't even consider the slightest restriction based on weapon type (assault weapons, really?) or on the demonstrated responsibility of the owner. Why? Because the politicians are cowards who cannot imagine their donations being taken away, even if it means that innocent people and children have their lives taken away. The politicians are either cowards or just plain power greedy. And the only thing that will change the politicians is the will of the people. The people must form their own lobby groups and tell politicians they will not get their vote until they change the law to restrict weapons to responsible people and restrict the type of weapons to the less deadly. Good luck America.
You know what. I am almost 50 years old, I have been in this country a long time. Americans have history. A history of not liking bureaucrats and governments. A history of bending the rules, to make things fairer. Often, you find Robinhoods, who steal and give to the poor. Sometimes, Americans get upset, and an argument will get out of control, and it goes bad. Sometimes, their is desperation, that make some steal, and it goes bad. But what Americans do not do. is go into a school of innocent Children and open fire. So I don't know who these kids are, ..... But they are not American. They have not been raised American, wherever they are from, whatever institution that is raising them, its not an American system.
@@7caratstar You're probably right, they are not Americans in the sense they do not hold values which typically make America great. They are mentally ill. And the American legislators give them AR15s. It is irrelevant whether they are American or not because the consequences remain the same. Dead school children. Change the causes.
This video DRAINED MY TEARS ! my heart hurts for each and everyone of them ! Sobbing with the last guy !thank you for sharing with the world! All great things coming for them !💕
The guy who sang his original song “something to write about” those lyrics were incredible, his soul wrote that song. Hope him and his sister and of course all the other performers are doing okay
This was purely awesome. Fought with my tears nearly at every audition. And the heart in every voice...unbelievable! I'm feeling kind of emberrassed for my country Germany. Our version of Idol sticks to the focus on people singing bad and afterwards the judges make fun of them. Would like to see auditions with true music that inspires people
The fact that so many people AREN'T commenting about the kid that lost his friends during a school shooting makes me know how desensitized people have gotten to this kind of stuff. Something has to change!
I absolutely 100000000 percent agree. It's like a normal thing now a days that's people are less emotionally effectived by anything like this. I had a best friend, he went to Columbine, he actually lost his life for sticking up for someone else. So in my eyes. He is my forever superhero 💖. He died because he wanted to get the shooters attention. And leave the other kids alone. He paid that do with his own life. I hate hearing about this. God bless the Virginia tech Victims Columbine, Texas, and many more to come I'm sure
@@bransonlopez884If you’d have read more comments, you’d have noticed that many many people are commenting about Ian as well. I mean, it’s not even hard to find those comments, the ones immediately surrounding this one do just that. This isn’t a zero sum game, and the OP is right. The few comments that touch on the kid who had been through a school shooting, most of them have people who pile in to either deliver a big dose of denial, or twist themselves in pretzels to avoid or even justify the heart of the problem while dismissing or completely ignoring the actual victims. So the question to you is: you could have easily made a comment of your own regarding Iam, or any of the other individuals who lost a loved one, why did you choose to instead whatabout someone who chose to comment on the fact that few people seem to give much thought to those who have been through a school shooting. Something for you to think about.
Mikenley, you’re beautiful!!!!! I love your style, I love your personality, your dads support and beautiful guitar skills, your voice. Phenomenal performance!!!!
What a stunning voice Willy had. I'm blown away. I don't understand how we lose so many beautiful souls and yet people like Trump are here poisoning the country only to tell others they're poisoning the country. WTF?
30:20 Ughhh... i felt this. I lost my Father about 23 years ago and my mother hasn't ever dated since he passed. They were H.S. sweethearts, each others firsts and only's. Now my mother has Alzheimers and it's the toughest thing I've ever gone through. Prayers and/or positive vibes to anybody who needs them right now. ❤
OMG... I've cried every single one of these auditions. This is my second time watching them the last couple weeks. Wow! Life can seriously wipe the emotion out of you over time! This video will reach out and make you feel everything all at once! Thank you American Idol!
You know I truly believe in my heart that when someone sings and it brings emotions out of you that person singing is one of gods angels on earth. Showing us that no matter what we can show emotion and shed tears when our heart is opened up with a story or a song.
Me too. It’s so true because it just happens spontaneously. I came here from a meme video and was moved to tears instantly with each story. I can’t relate to losing a parent, having a military family, car accident, school sh**ter or really any traumatic event but when these people sing with their whole heart and soul it’s truly loving. I’m so grateful for music and country music really seems to shine in this compilation and I think it’s just the most beautiful genre. This video was a reminder of some really great songs!! 🥲
It's so great to be able to have your father with you.I I lost my dad and I am still in denial and it's hard to be able to move on my dad was my best friend and I miss him so much and I am asking GOD to keep him safe and, I hope that where ever he's at that I am not forgotten because he will always be in my heart 💜❤️
Kaylin made me burst into tears. Never lost a parent and never had a parent in the military. But her performance reminded me of how beautiful that song is. God I love music and I love country music especially. Cheers to Kaylin and her family and thanks so much to them for their sacrifice. ❤
Sorry about your Mom Your Grandparents were there because they love you. Wow your Grandmother so sorry for you and your grandpa.Never change how you feel for him cause he was always there for you and that is unconditional love what we all need 💯❤❤
That song "Something to write about." I would buy that song tomorrow it was brilliant. And he is so right. Depression can creep up on you, but sometimes it can jump on you from nowhere, like when my mum passed away. It knocked me down hard.
OMG!!! I have cried this whole episode!!! So many heartbreaking and gutwrenching stories, but these amazing people stepped up and did the "thang!" God Bless them all!
Knew he was the Winner after that first Edition. What a beautiful Voice & authentic Spirit. He's the Real Deal - was happy for him. TOUGH Competition this year and so many incredibly Gifted Artists making this Win that much more impressive.
I could listen to Elijah all day long, and I am sound sensitive. His voice is super comforting in all parts of its wide range, and his authenticity in his delivery is beyond ‘star’ quality. This song, especially, conveys so much gratitude, which probably explains his authenticity. He is a grateful young man with a strong faith in Christ.
So beautiful I'm in tears 😢😢 this breaks my heart for him when he sings you can feel it 💔 in your heart I downloaded this song because I am older and I listen to country music but after hearing this young man pour out his heart I had to have it got bless you. And you deserve to be in the top 5 I pray 🙏 you win 🏆 we will keep voting for you my dear
Yeah exactly but you have these socialist like Katy who want to take guns away from everyone besides her armed security guards. What a joke that she’s on stage crying and making it about her and how scared she is
What about a failure of American Citizens to FOLLOW the laws? You ever thought that these people were breaking the laws? No? When does responsibility fall on those who perpetrate the crimes? Stop scapegoating and place the blame where it lies.
You all were very good, so very good, but Mr Elijah I could sit and listen to you for hours and hours and never get tired of it I'm so glad you're still here for your Mama's sake, almost losing my oldest daughter I fully understand what she was going through bless you dear I'm so glad you still have your boy... Love to you both ❤
We blame new generations. They are different but is heartbreaking how many of them go through and still very good and loved and talented. Thanks for never giving up.
Man. The Kya one got me right in the feels. As someone who followed Willie before he was even on American Idol that one really got me. She made him proud with that audition. Good on ya gurl.
My heart hurts for you, Preston. So, so much. Please record this song. Please. I need it. My soul needs it. There aren’t words. And never stop singing OR writing. Please. You have a true gift.
I hate that his mom committed suicide. Not everyone can deal with the trials and tri ulations life and the world throws at you. I have lived with depression/anxiety amongst other mental health issues my whole life. Now i am a mom of 2 a boy and a girl and no matter how hard life gets i could never leave them. Never. I pray for his family and for anyone and everyone struggleing with mental illness. You have to keep going. You have to stay strong. Never think you are alone.
As a mental patient, I can totally relate. It's very hard to live with. Please make sure you check on those friends who are having a tough time in life. They need your support ❤
My dad just passed away 2 months ago... That 1st audition got me. My brother wouldn't stop crying when he passed. We were all heartbroken and miss him so much.
I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing Willie perform in Atlanta…will never forget it because it was my son’s first concert. He admired Willie so much and that concert will forever remain with us. Those priceless videos are amazing and will be cherished for life. You keep singing Kya…you have an angel for life guiding you.
Elijah McCormick and Mikenley Brown 🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢 such beautiful powerful souls, yall are both here for a reason 🙏🏼 Prayers on yall journey even after a full recovery 🙏🏼😢
Ian Tongi's audition, i heard the judges went to Hawaii bc of his audition and that means they truly believe and want him to win the whole competition. Well well well look who won...
Should have Googled your theory before sharing it. Season 20, before Iam's season, had their top 24 in Hawaii too. Season 22, after Iam's season also had their top 24 in Hawaii. Disney owns ABC, and this round is filmed in early Feb so a great filming location in winter
@@sourcow56 They filmed this round in Hawaii for seasons 20,21, and 22. Disney owns ABC and this is a great locale to shoot at in early February, especially weather-wise

Sending a northern hug to Texas. I hope your son and everyone else affected by gun violence finds healing. Katy Perry pretty much summed it up for me.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness where the words this country was built on. I just don’t see how that’s possible when our child are not safe.
I live an hour away from Uvalde Tx. It’s the hardest thing ever. Things have to change.
Start by not writing more laws.

Kya monee ❤rest in heavenly peace to her friend .your voice moved me😢
You know I truly believe in my heart that when someone sings and it brings emotions out of you that person singing is one of gods angels on earth. Showing us that no matter what we can show emotion and shed tears when our heart is opened up with a story or a song.
Me too. It’s so true because it just happens spontaneously. I came here from a meme video and was moved to tears instantly with each story. I can’t relate to losing a parent, having a military family, car accident, school sh**ter or really any traumatic event but when these people sing with their whole heart and soul it’s truly loving. I’m so grateful for music and country music really seems to shine in this compilation and I think it’s just the most beautiful genre. This video was a reminder of some really great songs!! 🥲
Truly moving*
All these babies have told a story through their vocals. R.I.P. "To All Who Have Lost Their Lives"!!🕊️🕊️
I couldn’t hold my tears at the first one ❤❤❤ I’m not ur son ur not my father we’re just 2 man saying goodbye ❤️😭
The man that took in his siblings blew me away!!! 😢❤
I always hope these celebrities are humbled by these everyday people with extraordinary talent and stories
Overcoming an ED isnt easy, that girl is an inspiration and her voice is incredible! Also her style and her dads style kicks ass. Love them!
It's so great to be able to have your father with you.I I lost my dad and I am still in denial and it's hard to be able to move on my dad was my best friend and I miss him so much and I am asking GOD to keep him safe and, I hope that where ever he's at that I am not forgotten because he will always be in my heart 💜❤️
Just be yourself and don't let anyone change your heart which is so beautiful like your voice.all the best to you
Made me cry. It’s so hard :(
“You should be singing here because you love music not because…😢” pls sing for the people who want to sing and bring them the emotions for singing😢❤
Damn that first song broke me down , respect for him to hold thru and keep singing
Kaylin made me burst into tears. Never lost a parent and never had a parent in the military. But her performance reminded me of how beautiful that song is. God I love music and I love country music especially. Cheers to Kaylin and her family and thanks so much to them for their sacrifice. ❤
Okay. All of these made me cry. So much talent and you can hear the emotion in all of their voices 😢
Sorry about your Mom Your Grandparents were there because they love you. Wow your Grandmother so sorry for you and your grandpa.Never change how you feel for him cause he was always there for you and that is unconditional love what we all need 💯❤❤
That song "Something to write about." I would buy that song tomorrow it was brilliant. And he is so right. Depression can creep up on you, but sometimes it can jump on you from nowhere, like when my mum passed away. It knocked me down hard.
Thanks for all these brave souls. Listening to their life stories gave me hope that what Im facing....its going to be alright. ❤😢
OMG!!! I have cried this whole episode!!! So many heartbreaking and gutwrenching stories, but these amazing people stepped up and did the "thang!" God Bless them all!
They all were so beautiful. Preston’s original song was really beautiful.
Genuine question, how can someone watch this RUclips video without crying your eyes out? I cried so much and I have so much respect for these people!
I didn't but I'm gen z so maybe I'm broken, lol.
Impossible to not cry there for me
@@Coolstopanimation-z8nahah its possible..
Wow!! 😢🥺🥹😭😭😭😭 I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face!! I love that song that 1st guy sang, and he did the song more than justice.
Knew he was the Winner after that first Edition. What a beautiful Voice & authentic Spirit. He's the Real Deal - was happy for him. TOUGH Competition this year and so many incredibly Gifted Artists making this Win that much more impressive.
What an emotional performance! Wow! I'm not crying, you're crying...
As a husband, and a dad that would be so cool to surprise your wife and kids that way.
James blunt wrote such a beautiful song…Katie is gold! Funny at the right times while angry & honest as well. No filtered celebrities is what we need!
Elijah McCormick is unreal.
Reminded me a little of John legend. He’s phenomenal.
The voice of the boy who was in the car accident was awesome and I believe in guardian angels😇
All were great but these especially touched me: Iam Tongi, Preston Duffee, Jon Wayne Hatfield
I could listen to Elijah all day long, and I am sound sensitive. His voice is super comforting in all parts of its wide range, and his authenticity in his delivery is beyond ‘star’ quality. This song, especially, conveys so much gratitude, which probably explains his authenticity. He is a grateful young man with a strong faith in Christ.
He came to another league. One of the best pure strong voice i ever listen
So beautiful I'm in tears 😢😢 this breaks my heart for him when he sings you can feel it 💔 in your heart I downloaded this song because I am older and I listen to country music but after hearing this young man pour out his heart I had to have it got bless you. And you deserve to be in the top 5 I pray 🙏 you win 🏆 we will keep voting for you my dear
Ohh gush! Cam Amen´s performance completely broke me to tears. I LOOOVE that song, And Cam´s story hit me so hard
This needs a pre-warning ⚠️ This will make you cry a few times throughout watching this video. So much beautiful talent
Hahaha 100%
All these auditions were freaking emotional but the 2nd has been hitting me different and Katy is 100% right about failure in America's laws💔
Ur right! Banning guns in school is stupid. Armed officers woulda stopped that madman in short order.
Yeah exactly but you have these socialist like Katy who want to take guns away from everyone besides her armed security guards. What a joke that she’s on stage crying and making it about her and how scared she is
The greatest amount of gun violence is done in gun free zones.
What about a failure of American Citizens to FOLLOW the laws? You ever thought that these people were breaking the laws? No? When does responsibility fall on those who perpetrate the crimes?
Stop scapegoating and place the blame where it lies.
@@justjosie8963 no like thes
All these auditions were amazing. Had me in tears 😢.
And you tube commercials come on at the most inopportune times!!
Truth
I'm shaking,crying and can't hardly see but thank God I can hear ♥ !
You all were very good, so very good, but Mr Elijah I could sit and listen to you for hours and hours and never get tired of it I'm so glad you're still here for your Mama's sake, almost losing my oldest daughter I fully understand what she was going through bless you dear I'm so glad you still have your boy... Love to you both ❤
Elijah is one another league
So emotional ,great voices ,the guitars playing was sublime . All so talented
We blame new generations. They are different but is heartbreaking how many of them go through and still very good and loved and talented. Thanks for never giving up.
Oliver Steels killed me.
What a man.
❤🥲
As Kya was singing, it wasn't just greatness you hear, it's also pain, some type of pain someone can't feel unless you are physically there with her.
Man. The Kya one got me right in the feels. As someone who followed Willie before he was even on American Idol that one really got me.
She made him proud with that audition. Good on ya gurl.
My heart hurts for you, Preston. So, so much. Please record this song. Please. I need it. My soul needs it. There aren’t words. And never stop singing OR writing. Please. You have a true gift.
Omg the broken road. He's amazing with all he has been through
This man is a storyteller! The hallmark of a true artist! He was blessed by God to do this!! Beautiful
I hate that his mom committed suicide. Not everyone can deal with the trials and tri ulations life and the world throws at you. I have lived with depression/anxiety amongst other mental health issues my whole life. Now i am a mom of 2 a boy and a girl and no matter how hard life gets i could never leave them. Never. I pray for his family and for anyone and everyone struggleing with mental illness. You have to keep going. You have to stay strong. Never think you are alone.
I lost my mom when I was 10 years old I'm 33 years old now I miss her each and every day wish she was here today to see the man i became
Elijah's voice just melted my heart. I am sobbing!
He have such an Amazing voice one of the best i have listen in m'y life
God gave us music to heal our sorrow, pain and loneliness. Blessings to everyone who has a story to tell!😊
Preston Dufee ....omg...ĝreat bro!!
Keep it up!!!
I literally cried uncontrollably at every single one of these 🤦♀️😂
This IS crazy and too much for a Real empathic human 😂🥲😅
I cry so much, i have no tears anymore
My God tongi song got me cry like the day my dad passed away 😢
"You're not my dad, I'm not your son, we're just two grown man saying goodbye" 😭😭😭
Katy really struggled to get out the “we thank him for his service” part out lol. But my god these ladies and gentleman are just killing it
As a mental patient, I can totally relate. It's very hard to live with. Please make sure you check on those friends who are having a tough time in life. They need your support ❤
Well i started crying on the first one on the list. If this was a try not to cry challenge then i'd fail instantly.
Same here I cried on the first one too
Same!! I've been crying the whole time 😭.
Wow, Preston's song is beautiful!!💕
My dad just passed away 2 months ago... That 1st audition got me. My brother wouldn't stop crying when he passed. We were all heartbroken and miss him so much.
So good to hear the stories, those emerging from the rubbles and making a difference with their lives.
Wow Iam…. I just lost my father on Tuesday. I needed to hear this. Thank you and your beautiful soul.
i hope first kid wins😢😢😮😊😊
I hope they all have a great life and a great career or success in music.
he did ‼️
He did!! I was so happy!!
Iam Tongi made me cry many times during this season. He's amazing, and you can feel his emotion.
I am sorry for losing you mother I will say she would be so proud of you.If I can say I am proud of you too please keep singing you sound amazing 💯❤🙏
My favorite show especially with the three of you. Such huge hearts such a blessing to watch!!
God bless each of you
Iam listening to him sign Monsters makes me cry every time. Even more so as I just lost mine 2 years ago.
Sending you lots & lots of hugs🥹
I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing Willie perform in Atlanta…will never forget it because it was my son’s first concert. He admired Willie so much and that concert will forever remain with us. Those priceless videos are amazing and will be cherished for life. You keep singing Kya…you have an angel for life guiding you.
Nobody's talking about Ray and Jon but my god, I'm CRYING
Elijah McCormick and Mikenley Brown 🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢 such beautiful powerful souls, yall are both here for a reason 🙏🏼 Prayers on yall journey even after a full recovery 🙏🏼😢
Its crazy how peoples can be bad with others. Mikenley shes Amazing
Ian Tongi's audition, i heard the judges went to Hawaii bc of his audition and that means they truly believe and want him to win the whole competition.
Well well well look who won...
They don’t go every season? I thought they did.
Welp, look who won!
@@sourcow56 to Hawaii? I don't think so.
Should have Googled your theory before sharing it. Season 20, before Iam's season, had their top 24 in Hawaii too. Season 22, after Iam's season also had their top 24 in Hawaii. Disney owns ABC, and this round is filmed in early Feb so a great filming location in winter
@@sourcow56 They filmed this round in Hawaii for seasons 20,21, and 22. Disney owns ABC and this is a great locale to shoot at in early February, especially weather-wise
What kills me is how they are all so young, it’s pretty much now the norm for this generation to go through such tragic things, crazy
