Tongi has said that his father, Rodney, who passed away a few months before his audition, was largely responsible for his introduction to the world of music.

Judge Lionel Richie gushed, “I was not worried about whether you were going to make it through the song, I was worried about whether we were going to make it through the song. Your daddy is very proud.” 

Katy Perry, another judge on American Idol, chimed in,  “What a fantastic song to pick. You’re making these grown men cry.”

After 21 seasons, Friday night’s (21 May) three-hour finale brought the show to a close, and it was evident that Tongi had come full circle when Blunt joined him to sing a duet of the song.

Tongi started having trouble remembering the lines less than a minute into the performance, and he was spotted wiping tears from his face. Tongi gazed into his eyes for encouragement, and the ‘You’re Beautiful’ singer stepped in to help him finish the song.

After their performance, the two gave each other a warm embrace as the crowd cheered wildly. Viewers at home were clearly moved by the performance as well, as many have taken to social media in droves to express their gratitude and appreciation.
