Monsters: i am tongi

105

Ok, If you don’t know who Iam Tongi is by now, you must be missing something.  This 18 year kid from Hawaii is making hearts melt.  He’s in the American Idol Top 5 and I’m predicting he’s going to win it.  

Iam is 18 years old from Kahuku High School.  He’s in the spotlight showing the world some Aloha, right when the world needs it.  Through his music, his voice, and most of all, his heart.  

American Idol is one of the biggest tv shows in America.  It has made a few normal people into superstars.  I’ve never ever cared about it, or let alone, voted.  BUT, this time, I voted for Iam Tongi!

Iam is from the North Shore.  He had to move to Seattle because Hawaii got too expensive.  His Dad taught him music and gave him his guitar.  BUT, recently, his Dad passed away while battling cancer.  Iam sings his heart out to his Dad and it’s very emotional.  Watch this video of his first audition and get some tissue ready.  One of the most emotional videos you’ll ever see…
