Iam Tongi's Audition Has The Judges In TEARS After Emotional Song For His Dad | Idols Global

I don't care what society has to say about fathers. This young man is an example of what it looks like when it all goes right with a father and his son. This song destroyed me in a good way. I too love my dad, and I'm so glad I got to experience this pureness...it changed my life.

I’m a grown man and i had no expectations of crying, but that first “it’s my turn to chase the monsters away” hit me so hard.

Rest easy Sir Rodney. Your son did very good !! Thank you for being a great dad !!!

Lionel is such a dude. His replies and delivery were so humble, so relaxed. Liked this one.

All this man needs Is an Audience, he can tell an amazing story through his amazing voice!

I don't think it's possible to watch this and not cry. James Blunt's song captures the relationship between a father and his son. Iam's dad has left a wonderful legacy.

You struck a nerve young man. I lost my father to cancer August 23, 2022. I have never had tears rolling down my face until now. I’m 37 years old man and I’m sobbing over here.

My father passed away a week ago in Mexico. Before he was buried, I adapted the song to a short poem in a Spanish version. I said this in front of everyone. I barely made it, and goes like this: " Hoy, hoy no soy tu hijo Hoy tu no eres mi padre, Hoy somos dos viejos amigos que se dicen adiós, No hay necesidad del perdón, No hay necesidad del olvido, Por que yo conozco tus errores, Y tu los míos, Y mientras duermes, Prometo hacerte orgulloso de mí, No hay nada que temer, Que hoy viviré la vida, tal y como es "

I’m not crying,you’re crying! 60 yr old man here. Pure love

I didn't expect to cry, let alone sob. I also lost my dad a few year ago and these lyrics punched me in the chest. I'm proud of this young man.

I just cried like a baby

how can he even perform so well. I'm falling apart just listening 😭

He just brought tears to every grown ass man's eyes...Thank you Ian

I lost my Dad a few days ago and this song sort of gives you peace, weirdly enough along with the tears.

He has an amazing voice. You can hear the pain in his voice and see it in his face. He has such a deep connection with the music he sings. So glad he won.

Wow, His Loss , his sorrow, him, his audition, his voice, his singing, the words , made this old war dog Marine have tears run down my face. Not easy to do. God Bless his father RIP and God bless this fine young man and all his beautiful family.

One of the greatest auditions ever. Ever I say, ever!

I have warched this audition sooo many times on soo many different platforms... and it gets me EVERY time

I was adopted at a young age by two people who had already raised their own children. (I was abandoned in the hospital by my biological parents). They were the best parents ever. People assumed they were my grandparents as I got older because they were both old enough to be, but I always knew them as mom and dad. They were foster parents for 18 years (adopting 3 children in total, all from different families) and helped more children than I could count. They were selfless and took great care of many kids, most of whom had medical issues due to physical/emotional/ substance abuse, but they didn't treat them any different than their own children. This video reminded me of my dad. They passed away almost 10 years ago, only 3 weeks apart, and I miss them every day.

Iam glad my dad is still alive....this song has made me to cherised my dad while he is still alive
