Iam Tongi & James Blunt: Super Emotional Duet of "Monsters" Makes Idol History - American Idol 2023

I miss you dad, i really need your help right now

James Blunt helping him through the song just gives you absolute chills

Collateral Beauty

Is it just me or is Iam Tongi not a great singer? I get that he's overwhelmed by emotion here, but I never thought his voice was great. And having him next to James Blunt really highlights the difference in level of talent.

Un monstruo, un gigante James

Christ blunt can sing!!!

Un-be-lieve-able 😢

Iam sings this the best. He’s amazing. He made me cry when I saw his audition singing this song.

This song kills me every time I hear it. I lost my dad to cancer. Rest of the family was there with me, in the hospital at 2am in the morning, and we saw him take his last breath, then he was gone. This song breaks my heart but it also reflects just how much he is still missed and very much loved. Rest in peace dad. We love you.

Where can i watch the whole video of this? The first part where a video of Iam and his father was shown and the last part where the judges commented on Iam and James' performance. Thank you!

Proof that we’re all connected 🥹🥹💕🦋

You have such a old soul and you are so humble ✨️ you sing so beautiful and such a great memory with your father. He is so proud of his son for what you have become 💙 you really are amazing Iam and never forget that ❤️

I’m surprise that James blunt kept it together..,
What a professional

I'm in tears from watching this young man's pain from his father passing away 😢 💔 you can feel his pain and how much this song means to him. Your father is so very proud of you please never forget that ❤️

So sad😢😢

James blunt is screeching like a cherokee holding a kiskadee😂😂😂

Man! They are trying to emotionally kill all of us out here! 😅 bravo! 👏👏👏😭

Ouvi no Instagram e vim procurar amei a voz a música traz um sentimento q não sei explicar 😢

Sorry, but I’m not ready to listen to this performance, I’ve stopped just at the beginning. It’s to emotional, realistic and pure. I feel their pain, because I love my dad soo much, I can’t even imagine my live without this kind, loving and the Greatest person!! R.I.P. to all fathers!

This show the good side of humanity. We are a good species carrying a lot of hurt and sadness. It’s ok to open, feel, mourn, and heal wounds that have happened to us. We have a chance and we have hope. Don’t let others tarnish the good thats inside you.

I miss my dad.

Got recommended again so gonna watch it again 😢

They just touched my soul

What do you feel, when you have a great voice, and hide your sad story for real win, but someone come out with emotional story and performance, and win...

I lose it every time James Blunt puts his hand on his sholders and carries him through the emotions

Ein großes Wunder, das es Menschen gibt, die solch großen Schmerz in einem Lied verarbeiten. Jeder Mensch fühlt diesen Schmerz so sehr mit, wenn man das Lied hört. Gleichzeitig sieht man auch, wie der Song anderen Menschen über solch großen Schmerz hinweg hilft! Was könnte wichtiger für unsere Gesellschaft sein, als solche Künstler und deren Inspiration für andere! Mein Kompliment❤

It’s very Death Becomes Her! Such a classic ❤
