“Monsters” | Iam Tongi Homecoming Concert 

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.

I lost my Father, my brother, my daughter and few days back my mom 😭 This song is soo perfect..... Gave me strength....

I never heard this song till he did his audition. Now I love it! Way to go IAM

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

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!

The song that touched the soul of the world. Supporting from Tennessee!! Go Iam!

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.

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 still cry every time he sings monsters! His voice is so magical! So deep! 😭 Crying for my kids who didn’t have a father figure in their life!😭

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!

Remembering his dad 😭😭😭

Touching the hearts of millions!!!!!!!! Mahalo for all of the aloha!!!!!! ❤❤❤ When the world needs it most, here you are!!!!!!!

To anyone who reads this, I see you and I know you'll make it. Don't give up. So many people are rooting for you :)

SEE HE IS STILL GENUINE. HUMBLE AND REAL.

This Young Man not only captured the hearts of Americans, He captured The Hearts Of The World. from Canada< We love You Iam.

First time American idol kept me on the edge of my seat really put tears in my eyes

❤❤❤TEAM IAM TONGI ALLL THE WAYYYYY ❤❤❤

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.

I love how when he was struggling to start his mom and then others came by his side to support him. ❤❤❤😢

Oh man, each time he sings this, his heart will heal...😢

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

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 ❤❤❤❤❤

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 ❤🙏🏽❤️🌺

Just can’t get enough of this guy you are so loved Iam Tongi ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

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 ❤️

KITV dropping the ball with the audio. Could have had a billion views...

Love Joe he songs this song and I still cry when hear him sing. I resonate his feelings as my dad died of lung cancer. Love this guy.

😢😢😢😢😢 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!!

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.

Every time I hear this I start to cry😢. What a magnificent singer and storyteller. Iam FTW😊

How can anyone not love this kid? 😢😢😢

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 🤙🏽🍻

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Lovely 😍 well done Iam tongi love ❤️ You boy 💯

Make me cry 😭❤

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. Iam you have touch the hearts everywhere in this world. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Rodney is beaming with pride watching from above. You have made his wish of you being in American Idol come true. Sending love from one islander to another...❤❤❤

I feel like this is Iam's song now and I love James Blunt. Some songs belong to certain artists. This is his.

❤💝Awesome, thanks Iam🥰💕🙏

Thanks Mama....beautiful Iam

The strong bond between a father and son is unbreakable and it is limitless, it lives on through it all.

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.

God be with you .I just want to give you a cuddle.

the way he needed comfort from his family after his performance, i'm crying he's such a beatiful soul

Iam touched my heart, my soul and the thing I love about this kid (I call kid because I am 56) is how his ohana is there every step of the way. Truly a miracle in my life when i listen to his voice - it starts my day off with aloha here in Hilo.

Honestly… he is so amazing ❤. Sings it better than James Blunt in my opinion

For sure this boy has touched many hearts in Brazil... Love you buddy..❤❤❤
