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
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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤜🔥🤛🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
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!!!!! ❤
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🌺
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.
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.
This is what you hear when you sing…is your dad singing w you… Simply beautiful… You are a Blessing and Blessed… Spread The Aloha spirit all over the world! It is Gods love
How wonderful Our Heavenly Father is ! To give Iam Tongi the idea to make so many videos on RU-vid with his dad so he can watch them in years to come What a wonderful young man you are Iam I’m sure you never would have believed one day you would win American Idol shortly after your dear daddy passed away I’m so proud of you I see where you got your beautiful voice from in your dear daddy Sometime very soon you will be spending eternity with him once more ! Never to be parted again God bless you Iam Precious memories You should look up this song Precious memories ! !

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
Iam, have you written any of your own stories/songs? Please surround yourself with talented good people and please don’t stray to accommodate anyone else’s agenda.
