As we said earlier, Iam gave an incredible audition; dedicating his father, he sang “Monsters” by James Blunt. Losing a parent is never for anyone, and the pain of losing his father could be felt in the voice of the Hawaii native.

He sang so soulfully that it brought tears to the eyes of Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie; Katy Perry also got very emotional.

Lionel told Tongi, “I was not worried about whether you would make it through the song. I was worried about whether we would make it through the song.” Following a few more positive comments from Luke and Perry, Iam received his golden ticket and moved to the next round.

Iam Tongi At Hollywood Week And Showstopper Round

After the audition round, Iam moved to the next round, Hollywood week, where he had to give a duet performance with Oliver Steele. Sadly, a few moments before his turn Tongi discovered that his guitar’s preamp was busted; that guitar has emotional value for him because his father gave it to him.

Performing without his favorite guitar was tough for Tongi, and he even burst into tears before his performance, but the judges assured him that they would make sure his guitar was fixed, which put a smile on his face, and he began singing. Oliver and William gave an outstanding performance, leading them to the next step, the Showstopper Round.

In the Showstopper Round, the top 55 contestants perform, and only 25 make it to the next stage; luckily, Tongi was among those 55.
