People forget he’s just a kid who’s missing his dad. He was close to him. I think at this moment it was too much. He only heard James on the radio and to suddenly hear him in person and come full circle to be singing with him on stage. Of course it’s going to be too much. If I heard my dads favorite song in person I’d be crying too. He’s just a kid. In pain. I don’t ever want him to cry again but that’s just me. I still pray for him and his family.
This is a very emotional song for both these men. Let's give some recognition to Mr. Blunt for his humanity and professionalism, keeping the song going though he was visibly emotional, and lending support to help Mr. Tongi make it through.
I'm better at watching this now. Before I couldn't handle it it was too much. Took me about a week and now I can watch it without bawling. Love this so much and still some tears. So grateful to see Idol this year. What a blessing Iam is ❤
IAM TONGI & JAMES BLUNT just grabs your heart, grips it, hold it for a few, soothes it and whispers to it that everything will be okay when they sing "Monsters!" Amazing story to tell! Thank you Lexi for your thoughts, guidance and encouragement to a talented young man like IAM TONGI!
Lexi, thanks for sharing your insights. I can't imagine the amount and depth of resources now being mobilized to pave the way for Iam's career. I hope he finds good people to help him on his journey. I wish him the best of luck!

I completely agree with you! My heart breaks for him and his family.💔
Him breaking down is so heartbreaking 💔 😢
His vulnerability and emotions stands out and authentically so pure and missing his Dad
